After all, do any of US sound the same as we did 24 years ago?

Agreed . 
That was sort of like AoA, but only a brief snippet of the setting.
HOW DARE YOU
I was trying to be gentle about it. Even in the 90s as a high school kid when I watched absolutely every episode I recognized how absolutely ugly, sketchy and very cheap looking the 90s x-men cartoon was. It's honestly REALLY bad.
The counterpart Spider-man show at the time was slightly better technically, but had a very too-clean plasticy fake feeling that I also disliked even as a kid.
-ZacWilliam, Don't get me wrong I was there for both shows then and have lots of nostalgia for them now, but it was always in spite of the general unattractive animation and design sensibilities.

The last season in particular got really bad, but that’s because they hadn’t expected to get a fifth season and one of the studios behind the series had shut down. There was a lot of cost cutting going on that last season. But yes even before then there was quite a few things holding it back early on too. The art book they put out last year for the series went into detail the effort they put in and how things were barely coming together early on into the series.
I firmly disagree.
I'm still of the opinion that this show shouldn't be revisited, it was wonderful as it was and almost a timeless classic in its own right.
I just don't want to see anther butchering of a beloved classic. But it's happening anyway, so it's beyond what my opinions can really do.

Wait, there's an art book? What's it called? Is it on ComiXology? Sounds like just the thing I'd want to grab on a good sale.
Given the aforementioned talk of how the original ended, I prefer to think of this more as them having an opportunity to go out on their own terms, rather than with slashed budgets and degraded animation quality.
Doesn't seem to be on ComiXology.

Sory man, Spidey had this really low-res look to it alot of the time. You can tell they had digitized it poorly, lots of antialiasing on edges. They also would replay animation so awkwardly. Like that shot of Kingpin slowly emergering from the shadows (that would sometimes be played backwards?!). Never mind the hideous cg webswinging backgrounds. Even as a kid I found these things jarring.
Yeah Spiderman had some of the worst editing and scene transitions I've ever seen in animation. Got so bad I couldn't even watch it as a kid.
oh I agree, 90s Spider-man toon is animated poorly too. Just in different ways than X-men is. X-men is aggressively ugly, sketchy and cheap looking. Spider-Man is plasticy, too clean and cheap looking.
ZacWilliam I watched and loved both shows as a teen it was just despite the animation and design, like I said.
