Justice LeagueNot really into DC comic's, still ain't, but Justice League impressed me.

Justice LeagueBruce Timm is to the animated superhero genre to what Dre is rap music, the muthafucking GOAT. You have to remember, X-Men was on Saturday morning, so they had to dumb it down bit, while Justice League, (at least in my area,) was on in prime time, 10:30. Being that it was targeting a slightly different demo, Timm & 'em could go a little bit harder.
Also, and this is not fault to the people who did X-Men there's only a certain way The Dark Phoenix Saga, can be told. To tell this story properly, you have to include the things that led up to it, namely Jeannie saying the team, getting the powers of the Phoenix, her battles in trying to contain Phoenix, Shaw ? with her, the X-the epicness of the Dark Phoenix taking out a solar system, the X-Men going to the Shi'ar home plant to battle the Imperial Guard, and Jeannie's sacrifice.
Unless you're extraordinarily dope at storytelling, there's no in hell you can effectively tell this story in three episodes, to effectively tell it could take a season or a half a season at a minimum. Also, The Dark Phoenix Saga ain't Logan's story, it's Jeannie's and Scott's with Shaw as the protagonist. That's what X-men and X3 seemed to have missed and for that reason, including Bruce Timm and Dwayne McDuffie's overall better storytelling ability is why I say JLA was better than X-Men
BTW Gargoyles HIGHLY UNDERRATED! Gargoyles was one during that time when animators were trying to push the envelope with American animation and get it out of the mode of "cartoons are just for kids." The thing is Gargoyles was a little ahead of the curve and America wasn't quite ready for that. -
X-MenWhy are some of yall talking about other cartoons. This thread is only about X-Men and Justice League
Now I will say X-Men had some seriously annoying parts. Like Cyclops and Jean smh. Every damn episode this ? was fainting and Cyclops would yell Jeaaaaaaan!!!
? this might be a tie cuz Justice League was great -
At Its Best X-Men Was Better Than JL....But Justice League Was Way Much More Consistent...
-
Justice LeagueJustice League. It just had much sharper writing and better characterization (unlike Cyclops acting like a complete ? for example). The animation was better too it never seemed as static as the animation in X-Men which makes sense because it came out years later after more advancement in Saturday morning animation was made,

Justice LeagueXmen fell off when the got them new drawing designs
-
Justice LeagueOnly thing X-Men has over JL is the intro.
-
Justice LeagueWhile I was glued to. Xmen every sat, justice league takes this. Better writing and they had blood. Wolverine only sliced robots. Made great believable relationships. GL and hawk girl.

Justice LeagueJustice League never fell off...It was dope from start to end (where it got extremely dope)
-
Justice LeagueAh mate X-Men though...its so dark and cryptic...Anyone watched any of the cartoons of today?...No wonder kids are some ? nowadays
-
X-MenIm a little older so for nostalgia sake I gotta go with x men but jl was dope
-
Justice Leagueonly two things ill give Xmen is the intro like dogfromduckhunt and Apocalypse ? talking
-
When batman plans got exposed on how to shut down the justice league, they thought they was all friends and could trust each other. Batman eas lile im a human and I dont trust you freak ass ? .
Or when brainiac dismantled the main 6 and flash took him out dolo -
Justice LeagueI loved both, but I'm riding with JL on this one.
-
Justice LeagueAs much as i loved x men JL writing never dipped to me. I wont compare the animation bc x men was about a decade ealier. JL ended on a better note...its almost too close to call though

That was the movie. I don't think the show ever touched on Tower of Babel -
X-Menbatman animated series ? all over both.. but i gotta go with xmen

Justice LeagueJustice League had an epic ending with legion of doom having and entire show to themselves battling for control Lex's squad vs gorrilla grods squad ending with lex sending grod into deep space and them releasing darksied and then asking justice League for help then teaming up with them in the last episode to fight off the invasion...
lex, batman and superman vs darksied was nice
x-men didnt go out that memorable -
Justice Leagueand the way JL was continued from batmanTAS and superman TAS was goat...the 2 corner stones of DC held it down from 92 to 2005
-
Batman beyond was cool
But all those other batman shows post beyond was a insult to the dark night -
X-MenTrue X-Men didn't go off on a high note
