User blog:ARTaylor/November 2017 Poll Results

December is here and another poll has come to an end. Last month we asked what the best series premiere episode(s) was. The results were varied but one edged ahead.




 * 1) The winner with 33.3% of the votes was the premiere of X-Men: "Night of the Sentinels, Part One" and "Part Two". The two-part premiere launched the longest running Marvel animated series. The premiere was also one of the darkest and most dramatic of any animated series. In addition to introducing a team of mutants, it excellently introduced audiences to the prejudice-filled world they inhabit. It's particularly darker and more adult than most other premieres as it not only saw the season-long arrest of Beast but the death of original character Morph.
 * 2) Coming in second with 26.7% was The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes premiere "The Breakout, Part One" and "Part Two". It began, arguably, the last great Marvel animated series. Inspired by the live-action film series, the episodes followed up the brief introduction episodes to bring the separate elements together in one explosive fight.
 * 3) Tied for third with 13.3% were two wallcrawlers: Spider-Mans "Night of the Lizard" and The Spectacular Spider-Mans "Survival of the Fittest". Both began much beloved series. "Night of the Lizard" is considered the companion to the X-Men premiere, beginning the second longest Marvel animated series. "Survival of the Fittest" began, arguably, the second last great Marvel animated series.
 * 4) It was another tie for fourth with 6.7% for The Incredible Hulk premiere "The Return of the Beast, Part One" and "Part Two" and X-Men: Evolution's "Strategy X". "The Return of the Beast" was the beginning of a much loved season, and the last Hulk-centered series. "Strategy X" began a slow season-long burn for the fourth longest series.
 * 5) Getting no love was Silver Surfers "The Origin of the Silver Surfer, Part One", "Part Two", and "Part Three"; Wolverine and the X-Mens "Hindsight, Part One", "Part Two", and "Part Three"; Iron Man: Armored Adventuress "Iron, Forged in Fire, Part One" and "Part Two", and Guardians of the Galaxys "Road to Knowhere".
