tbh i don't agree at all. the characterisation in TAS held better from the comics, and i honestly liked the voices better in TAS. Not saying that Evolution was bad by any means; in fact the show got better as time went on. If you were to take the totality of both shows and stack them, i honestly believe TAS would win, as Evolution took a long time to find it's feet and get going.
TAS did come first, yeah, though that's not what made it better than the other two in quality (and quantity ).
And I liked Spike. At least during the last appearances he made when he was protecting the Morlocks. But yeah, out of all the animated versions of X-Men characters there have been, almost nothing beats Cable in TAS.
Off the top of my head, Rogue's, Gambit's (although it sorta grew on me over time), and a couple others whose names elude me at the moment. Magneto also had a much cooler voice in Evolution.
The Logan wankage in Wolverine and the X-Men wasn't as severe as I thought it would be. For the run the cartoon had, I liked it, but not as much as Evolution. Probably would've liked it better than Evolution though had the Age of Apocalypse season not been canceled along with the show.
I voted for Xmen TAS because of Rogue. She was soo f*cken hot. When I was younger, I wanted to have a girlfriend that looked just like her. Anyway, I voted for that show because all of the characters except for Wolverine. The women looked beautiful, and the men had great physics (I'm one step closer at looking like Cyclops ) ... The episodes, the art and the voices were far better than the recent cartoons. However, I was pretty happy with Xmen evolution. I recently watched all of the episodes. But, didn't care for Spike, Avalanche and some of the episodes. Overall, both shows were great but Xmen TAS is the superior.
I honestly liked the hair and stuff Rogue had in Evolution and W&TX-M better than in the original series. The original TAS will always get my vote too, but not because of her.
X-Men TAS, but I will say that the animation and production value saddly just hold up as well as Batman or Superman TAS. It isn't nearly as good now as I remember it being.

And why is that? Maybe I'm less picky, but it wasn't that long ago since I last watched some of X-Men the animated series again, and thought the animation was up there with the Batman and Superman TAS, except for the last season.
