When I was a teen, everyone always talked about how the first girls that gave them that gothic awakening were either Sam, Sheego, or Raven. But for me? Nah. Rogue and Wanda from X-Men: Evolution were the ones that got me.
Don't forget Jinx and Blackfire from Teen Titans, Mai and June from Avatar, Gwen from TDI, Ingrid from Fillmore, and of course, the Hex Girls. Us early 2000s kids were eatin' good in the neighborhood.
One of Rogue's best designs. it's funny how Rogue can play different personalities, upbeat(90's), recluse(Evolution) and in-between (movie). Honestly she is one of my favorite X-Men and I'm glad she is getting more love then ever.
I wouldn´t say movie Rogue was an in-between, more like a prototype of what evolution rogue would be in the series, a more accurate blend of goth and upbeat rogue would be wolverine and the x-men version, she was very angsty but also sassy and honestly, girl got shit done in that show, very underrated version
I agree, Rogue can be pretty malleable, and not all comic heroes can get away with that. Hallmark of a great character. Batman for example, can be played a lot of different ways too.
Definitely. I was already into Goth girls thanks to Beetlejuice movie, Rogue was already my favorite X Men, so when Evolutions combined the two, I instantly liked Goth Rogue.
I remember watching that one episode where Mystique was turned into stone and Nightcrawler took the emotional high ground and decided to forgive Mystique for being a selfish-dismissive mother, and then Rogue just decided to push it off a cliff out of spite. That really shocked me initially. Part of me feels like from a story perspective that Mystique should've "stayed dead" because when she came back with upgraded powers, the story lost a little luster for me. X-Men Evolution is still underrated though.
That scene really screwed me up when I first saw it because I fully expected Rogue to simply release Mystique from her stone prison, only to push her off the balcony, resulting in the statue shattering. I do agree (kinda) that Mystique probably should have remained dead as when she was brought back… she was a little underutilized, imo. Though it was cool to see her as one of Apocalypse’s horseman.
On rewatch, her coming back with an upgrade happens after the asteroid M style arc in the first season, she's turned to stone in the end of season three, and the smashing happens a few episodes into four. She stays out of it for nearly the whole fourth season until only being brought back after apocalypse in the finale. It seems justified.
Rogue is an amazing character. They really went to town with her. Iconic moments like the whole episode with her dealing with all her absorbed memories, as well as her absorbing Juggernaut's powers and absolutely destroying him This show makes the X-Men feel like home. It's so comfy and cozy. It makes me care for all of them dearly. I love this show I can't wait for the Kitty video as she's also up there with Rogue for my favorite characters in this show.
This series actually presented Rogue's ability as 10x more powerful/potent than in the comics cause by the final season she displayed the ability to recall powers she had previously absorbed. At some point she would have got the flight/super strength upgrade per the vision Xavier has in the finale too!
Mystique actually overheard Scott and Jean talking about the simulation as they got ready for their field trip. Scott was upset about Professor X using Rogue for the simulation because he didn't like the idea of treating her like an enemy, so he didn't let that go even after going to school.
I'm no expert on comics Rogue, so i can't comment on it. My intro to her was the 90s animated version and naturally later the movies and evolution. What I would say is that I couldn't put either on a pedestal. 90s Rogue was introduced as an adult (of undetermined age) who, despite some flashbacks to her rough upbringing and power anxiety, seems fairly well adjusted to her role within the x-men. Goth Rogue, on the other hand, shows her struggle as a teenager coming to terms with it all, albeit with a more '00 skin. Both are great. I think movie Rogue suffers as she worked as an integral part of the first film, giving Logan a cub to protect and being a literal bomb. But as things got bigger, they struggled to really give her a role that let her shine.
Both are great works because Rogue's introduction in the comics is her, as a teen, *permanently* taking Captain Marvel's powers and memories. With that, she's a teenager with the mind of an adult fighting for control, and the writers love to work that angle of her personality.
@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180 so just as shown in her flashback on the 90s show? I'd honestly forgot about that until you mentioned it. Good to know, thanks 👍
Marvel: Let’s make a show that appeals to kids by taking popular superheroes, turning them into teenagers and putting them in high school. Venxous: I know that idea sounds terrible on paper, but in execution, it was done extremely well. Marvel: That worked so nice, I think I’ll try it twice! *Makes Iron Man: Armored Adventures* Me: Damn, they really pulled that off twice in a row. 😮
And then they put Spider-Man in a teen role... three times! Rule of three applied in reverse. Spectacular, was the tits! Ultimate?! More like desperate! And "Marvel's Spider-Man", kinda' pointless. No wonder some advocate for 90s Spider-Man to have a comeback. Despite how unnecessary that would be.
@@kimeraclan3135 I mean, 90s Spider-Man didn’t get an ending (like so many other good shows) so when Disney/Marvel is riding the nostalgia train, hoping for at least a 1-season revival to wrap up loose ends is only natural. The series literally ended with: “And now onto the next chapter- the payoff for Mary Jane being missing for the last of half of the series!” and then it never continued.
@@aqwkingchampion13 I thought the show wrapped up quite nicely: Kingpin was behind bars, the goblins were stopped, Venom got stuck in limbo, Spidey stopped Electro's world conquest stint, teamed up with several heroes to save a planet from despotism, and as a cherry on top saved the entire multiverse from Spider-Carnage!
@@kimeraclan3135 Oh yeah, all of what you said is right, the show wrapped up almost everything nice and neat, but it’s that one major loose end that was set up for at least two seasons (not sure exactly how long) and then never paid off with the last episode saying ‘let’s wrap it all up’ before cancellation.
What they made different with Rogue is that they have her crushing on & developing feelings for X-Man leader Scott Summers who is very much in love with Jean.
You mean scott and jean have love triangle issues and this time logan isn't involved? Looks like miracles can indeed happen. Someone should show this cartoon off more!
@@ShadowSonic2. Agreed, lot better than the mutch older logan butting into one healthy relationship, because redheads are his kryptonite! How the heck did they pull this off? They all deserve awards.
@@catspawgardner3213. What was your favourite aspect about the whole ordeal? Aside from wolverine just being absent. These versions are not only close aged,but considering rouge's popularity, there could've been one meta reason for the ship over jean!
This show man, ngl this was my favorite version of Cyclops and I'm still torn up about Kirby Morrow's passing. Man had a great voice and loved him in so many roles.
Rogue with the long wild hair after absorbing Sabertooth’s powers is something I completely forgot about and now I need it again. Also I think the episode that cliched everything for me regarding Evolution Rogue was in a later season episode (I want to say season 3?) when her powers went, well, rogue and she started having a mental breakdown and Wolverine went into dad mode and talked her down, and whatever insecurities she had left she made peace with.
I didn't know that about the dance being pulled from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That's pretty cool. And I agree, it's the smoothest animation of the entire show. Rogue started as a villain in the comics, but none of the adaptations did that, so this show starting her in a more antagonistic light really made it stand out and I loved it. They never go full heel, but just playing with her allegiances was interesting enough. The first year of the show feels mostly random and episodic (it improves greatly from S2 onward, imo), but the closest thing they had to a focused story was Rogue's arc and it was a great hook for the first season. On the point with Blob, it seemed to me the reason Rogue helped Jean was because it mattered to Scott, whom she has feelings for. We used to traditionally see Logan do this sort of thing, saving Scott because it mattered to Jean, so this love triangle is almost a substitute of The Wolverine/Cyclops/Jean love triangle, which the show couldn't do this time for obvious reasons.
Don't let the haters shame you. Our favorite characters take on many forms, but all are fun in their own, unique way! This version of Rogue leaned more heavily into angst and confusion. It did it well and as the show went on it was easy to feel bad for her when Mystique kept weaponizing her. Compare that to the X-Men, to whom Rogue willingly offered up her powers at critical moments. That one episode "Power Surge", from season 2, best highlights this point.
The idea works because it is just what the source material is... sure not all the X-Men in the comics are terns, but a lot of them are very young ,cause you know, school for mutants
There are a few exceptions, but all of them starts as teenagers and grow up through the comic. The original team of Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Iceman and Jean Grey(Marvel Girl back then) were teenagers that Xavier taught personally.
My biggest gripe about Evolution and Rogue is that they didn't fully made her and Cyclops a thing. They've teased us in all seasons and nothing came out of it and it's a such a shame cause it hands down the best version of Cyclops to date and him Rogue being together in the series would be match made in heaven, but alas.
That was going to happen eventually before the show was cancelled. They were going to do the Dark Phoenix Saga which would end with Jean being killed off permanently. Her death would then cause the team to split up (similarly to what happened in Wolverine and the X-Men) and once they reunited in the final season, Scott and Rogue would possibly have officially gotten together. There was even an idea being kicked around by the writers to have a wedding in the series finale either between Scott and Rogue or Kurt and Amanda.
My roommates and I just finished binging all of Evolution and we both agree the show is phenomenal in both it's story telling and characters. Great music, pacing, and a variety of stories on a decent grouping of characters. Shame it wasn't allowed to run a bit longer. D:
Honestly, if they ever make another X-Men show after X-Men 97, they should revive Evolution as it's aged far better and the people working on it should be more related as they would've experienced this show themselves.
This was a great analysis on my favourite version of Rouge. I am so hyped for the next video analyzing the characters. Also unlike some of the others in this comment section I will be respectful about my attraction to rouge. I had loved her when I was younger (along with Raven from teen Titans but that’s another thing) I still love her character so much and I agree she is the definitive version for me.
Southern goth girls are built different. I live in Biloxi Mississippi and there’s this one Elder goth lady that wears Edwardian dresses in the middle of August saw her waiting for the bus on the beach one day drove past her and my passenger and I were like 🤯
@@Universeknight10055 yes i used to watch xmen evolution on tv as a kid i loved it, it was like marvel version of teen titans end i liked the characters better than in the movies only wolverine i liked in the movies Thanks for asking sorry i took this long to respond 👍👍
@@MatheusB.SdeFreitas-sn3pj good evening. Thank you for answering my question. I'm fan of Goth Rogue and x men evolution series and x men the animated series 90's. You have great day and next day and week and weekend and next week and full happiness 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.
x-men TAS made us love southern sweethearts evolution awoke in us love for goths also huge BRUH i don't remeber how close to comics evolution characters were but if she touched sabertooth... she's way stronger than she looks
I watched portions of X-men tas but didn’t take it seriously but I had more interest in X-men evolution and it was my official introduction to rogue and this version of her is my down right favorite version of her. Love it
I really love how they dove into her relationship with Kurt in this series--though I do wish Gambit had been featured more and Rogue/Scott was never thought of.
Why? Cyclops was so well done in this series that the coupling made sense. Makes me wonder why no one tried it in the comics instead of the Rogue/Magneto nonsense
@@ShadowSonic2 Because this is the one show where Jean/Scott wasn't toxic and felt healthy. Plus it wasn't set up well; Rogue had feelings for Scott, but it's never shown that he saw her that way.
@@OpticalSorcerer I think the idea is that Cyclops would've eventually realized his infatuation with Jean was more of an adolescent thing after she dies and as an adult he understands what he and Rogue could have together more. And Rogue herself needed to go through some growing up too
@@ShadowSonic2 Kinda disappointing. Even if this wasn't the only show where they felt healthy, Jean/Scott was a buildup of 3 seasons, and Rogue moved on from him eventually. Dragging it back to Rogue/Scott feels like a step back, especially since Rogue and Gambit started to have chemistry after "Cajun Spice" (not a lot, but something).
Man listen goth rogue and southern country rogue want to make me act unwise. However it’s good to see X-men evolution get some recognition again. They did show add the ends of season a glimpse of Phoenix force Jean and adult X-men evolution characters. X-men 97 was a success so if this show got a revamp it would be cool
Personally, this show's writing choices continually amaze! Wolverine taking break from love triangle duty? Cylops and jean are interesting, and scott pulls rogue too?
I re watcht X-Men evolution last year, after like 10+ years, it was also the first time i probleply watcht all the episodes from start to finnish, and thoug this watch thoug Rouge became my favorite charekter, of that Series, and thank you fore talking about this show, not enough people do that nowadays, its so underrated. PS: by the way this is also my favorite X-men Series.
I loved x men evolution its my favorite of the x men franchise. I loved this version of rogur its a shame it didnt have more seasons. New sub heading ur way.
I'm glad evolution the original cartoon and 97 all keep that sibling like relationship between rogue and nightcrawler,because cannonly in the comics they are step siblings rogue having been adopted by mystique
Rogue became my favorite X-Men from the time she was brought into the Team. She joined the Team because she was losing her mind due to her powers, and Mystique couldn't/wouldn't help her. She turned to Professor X and the X-Men, begging for help. I remember her sitting in a chair, looking so small and vulnerable. I think the Rogue from "X-Men Evolution" is the best interpretation of the character. I like the goth look, and the way her character was portrayed there. In some ways, she reminds me of Shrinking Violet (a member of The Legion of Super-Heroes), who was extremely shy that isolated her from the other members.
Thank you for doing a video about Evolution Rogue. This show doesn't get talked about enough and I would love to see some more videos on this version of the characters.
I can never understand that mindset: feeling bitter and jealous and hateful of others just because they have something you lack or don’t have. I can’t understand and hate when people hates others for it.
You're lucky. Envy does that to you, when you want to have something others have but you realize no matter how hard you try it's barred to you, and it makes you feel like it's your fault, that you are less than them, that you were "born wrong"? Yeah, it screws with you.
Evolution Rogue is not my definitive version of her for sure, but is EASILY in my top 3 best versions of Rogue in ANY MEDIA....I actually like her more in this show that in the comics (as for any great story with Rogue there is a dozen crappy ones in the comics), Evo Rogue was amazing, I love her look and attitude and despite she never could get her Miss Marvel powers, still she was one of the strongest X-Men in this show. In case you wonder my number 1 Rogue is X-Men TAS and 97, is difficult to top that, Evo is my second and third is Rogue of Wolverine and the X-men, then comics and then last place is Movie Rogue.
Self Possesed is still one of my favorite Rogue centered episodes of this show! It’s a frighteningly good and scary look at what would happen if Rogue lost control over her powers and all the personalities and powers of those she absorbed where literally fighting for control of her
@@vetarlittorf1807 yeah I like that too though I mainly like Logan as like a lone wolf butting heads with Cyclops while still being cool with everyone and kicking ass with the team
And then all the peoples powers she absorbed all came back in season 3 and we're somewhat taking her over as she was cycling through EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
Good video! That's not Toads introduction to the series! He shows up in episode one where you get his whole deal right away. He's like the second mutant you meet in the series even.
This was the X-men I grew up with and this was the rouge I knew. When I found out she was southern I actually had to step back for a second as the character I thought I knew was completely different
Turning the main characters into teenagers to appeal to kids works in supehero media when done correctly key example iron man armored adventures and batman beyond It does make sense to make the x-men teenagers because they already teach kids at the Xavier institute and most of the x-men started out as teenagers

@@VenxousI really like that version of Rogue she’s one of my cartoon crushes
0:20 to be fair, cyclops, kitty and Jean started out as teens in the comics.
So did Rogue, actually.
On the whole, Evolution did a great job with its variations on the characters.
"X-Men: Evolution", "Teen Titans" and "Avatar" were my absolute favourite shows as a kid.
Goth mommy rogue had me by the throat as a youngster lmao
What I did like as well was that this is the only Xmen adaptation that has Destiny in it. Especially the fact that Destiny was looking after Rogue.
My favorite episodes with Rogue involved her chemistry with Nightcrawler; after she learned that Mystique was his real birth mother.
This was a great analysis on my favourite version of Rouge. I am so hyped for the next video analyzing the characters. Also unlike some of the others in this comment section I will be respectful about my attraction to rouge. I had loved her when I was younger (along with Raven from teen Titans but that’s another thing) I still love her character so much and I agree she is the definitive version for me.
Southern goth girls are built different. I live in Biloxi Mississippi and there’s this one Elder goth lady that wears Edwardian dresses in the middle of August saw her waiting for the bus on the beach one day drove past her and my passenger and I were like 🤯
Goth Rogue was one of the best.
Are you goth Rogue fan and x men evolution? Sorry for asking this question.
@@Universeknight10055 yes i used to watch xmen evolution on tv as a kid i loved it, it was like marvel version of teen titans end i liked the characters better than in the movies only wolverine i liked in the movies Thanks for asking sorry i took this long to respond 👍👍
@@MatheusB.SdeFreitas-sn3pj good evening. Thank you for answering my question. I'm fan of Goth Rogue and x men evolution series and x men the animated series 90's. You have great day and next day and week and weekend and next week and full happiness 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.
@@MatheusB.SdeFreitas-sn3pjno worries.
Kitty is Buffy Rogue is Faith.
x-men TAS made us love southern sweethearts
evolution awoke in us love for goths
also huge BRUH
i don't remeber how close to comics evolution characters were but if she touched sabertooth...
she's way stronger than she looks
I'm a simple man. I see an essay on one of my biggest childhood crushes, I click.
I like the idea of Anna Marie being Goth but had a pretty southerner Accent
Goth Rogue in this show and the Grant Morrison New X-Men costumes should have been what was in the original live action X-Men trilogy
31:05 - I'm big into goths, so obviously Evolution Rogue is my absolute favorite Rogue or any other character from X-Men.
I watched portions of X-men tas but didn’t take it seriously but I had more interest in X-men evolution and it was my official introduction to rogue and this version of her is my down right favorite version of her. Love it
I really love how they dove into her relationship with Kurt in this series--though I do wish Gambit had been featured more and Rogue/Scott was never thought of.
Why? Cyclops was so well done in this series that the coupling made sense. Makes me wonder why no one tried it in the comics instead of the Rogue/Magneto nonsense
@@ShadowSonic2 Because this is the one show where Jean/Scott wasn't toxic and felt healthy. Plus it wasn't set up well; Rogue had feelings for Scott, but it's never shown that he saw her that way.
@@OpticalSorcerer I think the idea is that Cyclops would've eventually realized his infatuation with Jean was more of an adolescent thing after she dies and as an adult he understands what he and Rogue could have together more. And Rogue herself needed to go through some growing up too
@@ShadowSonic2 Kinda disappointing. Even if this wasn't the only show where they felt healthy, Jean/Scott was a buildup of 3 seasons, and Rogue moved on from him eventually. Dragging it back to Rogue/Scott feels like a step back, especially since Rogue and Gambit started to have chemistry after "Cajun Spice" (not a lot, but something).
Y’all forget when rogue joined the xmen in the comics she was full punk PUNK ROGUE IS TOP TIER!
Hell yeah! The best female X-man getting recognition is always something I love to see
Every adaptation of Rouge is 🤤
Edit: I just finished and omg it was so peak, thanks for putting me on bro, rogue the best character fr
Man listen goth rogue and southern country rogue want to make me act unwise. However it’s good to see X-men evolution get some recognition again. They did show add the ends of season a glimpse of Phoenix force Jean and adult X-men evolution characters. X-men 97 was a success so if this show got a revamp it would be cool
X-Men Evolution was my introduction to the x-men world, what an amazing memories
Personally, this show's writing choices continually amaze! Wolverine taking break from love triangle duty? Cylops and jean are interesting, and scott pulls rogue too?
I re watcht X-Men evolution last year, after like 10+ years, it was also the first time i probleply watcht all the episodes from start to finnish, and thoug this watch thoug Rouge became my favorite charekter, of that Series, and thank you fore talking about this show, not enough people do that nowadays, its so underrated.
PS: by the way this is also my favorite X-men Series.
I loved x men evolution its my favorite of the x men franchise. I loved this version of rogur its a shame it didnt have more seasons. New sub heading ur way.
as a 23 year old i just got flashbanged with core memories.
I'm glad evolution the original cartoon and 97 all keep that sibling like relationship between rogue and nightcrawler,because cannonly in the comics they are step siblings rogue having been adopted by mystique
Rogue became my favorite X-Men from the time she was brought into the Team. She joined the Team because she was losing her mind due to her powers, and Mystique couldn't/wouldn't help her. She turned to Professor X and the X-Men, begging for help. I remember her sitting in a chair, looking so small and vulnerable.
I think the Rogue from "X-Men Evolution" is the best interpretation of the character. I like the goth look, and the way her character was portrayed there. In some ways, she reminds me of Shrinking Violet (a member of The Legion of Super-Heroes), who was extremely shy that isolated her from the other members.
Unrelated, really like you're editing! It's simple, yet a unique way to show scenes while avoiding copyright. GG! :)
PRAISE THE GREAT VENXOUS FOR PROVIDING US THIS BOUNTY
Thank you for doing a video about Evolution Rogue. This show doesn't get talked about enough and I would love to see some more videos on this version of the characters.
I can never understand that mindset: feeling bitter and jealous and hateful of others just because they have something you lack or don’t have. I can’t understand and hate when people hates others for it.
You're lucky. Envy does that to you, when you want to have something others have but you realize no matter how hard you try it's barred to you, and it makes you feel like it's your fault, that you are less than them, that you were "born wrong"? Yeah, it screws with you.
She's not hateful
1:04 "boys her own age"
*enters Magneto*
Sigh...Gambit deserved better
Please don’t remind me of that relationship
@@Venxous haha my apologies 😂
Rogue from Evolution and TAS(92) are the reasons why I have a thing for American women with a southern accent.
Evolution Rogue is not my definitive version of her for sure, but is EASILY in my top 3 best versions of Rogue in ANY MEDIA....I actually like her more in this show that in the comics (as for any great story with Rogue there is a dozen crappy ones in the comics), Evo Rogue was amazing, I love her look and attitude and despite she never could get her Miss Marvel powers, still she was one of the strongest X-Men in this show. In case you wonder my number 1 Rogue is X-Men TAS and 97, is difficult to top that, Evo is my second and third is Rogue of Wolverine and the X-men, then comics and then last place is Movie Rogue.
I am a simple man I see x men evolution rouge I click instantly
I grew up with this series
Self Possesed is still one of my favorite Rogue centered episodes of this show! It’s a frighteningly good and scary look at what would happen if Rogue lost control over her powers and all the personalities and powers of those she absorbed where literally fighting for control of her
I find it funny how in evolutions there supposed to be high schoolers but Logan’s still like 400
He was born in the 1800's, so not 400. And Logan is an adult.
@@vetarlittorf1807 thanks for the correction but also I knew he was an adult I just thought it was funny
@@JacksonChadwick I dunno. I always liked the idea of Logan and Storm acting as the "parents" of the team.
@@vetarlittorf1807 yeah I like that too though I mainly like Logan as like a lone wolf butting heads with Cyclops while still being cool with everyone and kicking ass with the team
I had no idea there was more seasons! I need to watch those
Ngl goth rogue awakened something in me as a kid
GOTH ROGUE SIMPS UNITE!
Top tier version of Rogue for sure
Are you goth Rogue fan and x men evolution series fan? Sorry for asking this question.
The farmers daughter southern style rouge will always be the best.
This is the only version of Rouge that felt focused except early comic Rouge
finally, the voice of my generation
Hey, congrats on winning that fight against Toad, you won a prize! Kidnapping and experimentation!
And then all the peoples powers she absorbed all came back in season 3 and we're somewhat taking her over as she was cycling through EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
Haven’t watched this yet but that one episode with all the women and they changed in the car off camera. Thought about that for years.
bro same. rouge was always my favorite character.
Are you goth Rogue fan and x men evolution series? Sorry for asking this question.
Good video! That's not Toads introduction to the series! He shows up in episode one where you get his whole deal right away. He's like the second mutant you meet in the series even.
I meant in this video lol but yeah you’re right
Another brilliant review 👏🏾
This was the X-men I grew up with and this was the rouge I knew. When I found out she was southern I actually had to step back for a second as the character I thought I knew was completely different
Imagine if they had been able to adapt the Dark Phoenix storyline. And they were only able to stop the Phoenix by using Rogues powers to take her out
Rogue and kitty are the best in this show
Are you rogue fun and x men evolution? Sorry for asking this question.
If the show continued Cyclops and Rouge would be a couple.
i'd love to hear your thoughts on wanda from this show
believe me you will
2000s is actually now hype and making a comeback not dated
Turning the main characters into teenagers to appeal to kids works in supehero media when done correctly key example iron man armored adventures and batman beyond It does make sense to make the x-men teenagers because they already teach kids at the Xavier institute and most of the x-men started out as teenagers
9 year old me got some important character development the first time he saw goth Rogue on screen
I know what the creators tried to do but the soundbit from the voice actress at around the 4:03 mark did sound more like Dutch rather than German.
X-Men evolution > X-Men 97. And I’ll die on that hill
Goth rogue is my favorite
