thoughts on x men evolution kurt?
i LOOOOVE evo kurt!!! i have a huge soft spot for evo in general (i love love love any animated version of the xmen and evo is so silly and whacky i cant help but adore it) and i think kurt is sooo adorable in that show.
i love how this version of kurt leans wayyy more into his mischevieous and silly pranky side than most other adaptations and i really appreciate that. i feel like its such an underutilized and underrepresented aspect of his character that it even kinda gets tossed to the wayside in the comics half the time, but it's one of the things that makes him such a fun, three-dimensional character. i think its awesome that evo chose to go with that side of him when other adaptations focus more on his melancholy, somber side (which i also love of course! but its not all there is to him!)
im also a huuuuge sucker for little brother and comic relief characters in general (bobby's always been my fave o5) and kurt rly kinda takes on his role of the silly team baby in evo. i adore a silly team baby. plus, kurt is ACTUALLY the youngest of three siblings in canon, so i can totally see him being the annoying kid brother who tags along with amanda and stephan and gets on their nerves.
i liked the more serious plot they did for him too with the whole thing with mystique. ill never get tired of that storyline i wont lie and i think evo manages to strike a good balance where kurt is funny and comedic relief, but you still care about him and when he has a more serious moment it works.
although i think he CAN be a little overexaggerated with his teen speak, i like to imagine that's due to his status as a non-native speaker so he awkwardly overuses slang to try and fit in. I gotta say that I think most of the time Kurt being a teen from germany coming to america is treated kinda weird (see: the reboot movies acting as if kurt doesnt know what a movie or a store is. like guys hes from berlin in the 80ies. hes not from fucking dorf schragensdiek mid-14th century he probably has done way wilder shit than suburban teen scott summers.) so i like to make up my own headcanons to make it make sense a little lmao. also as a german: we think american/english sayings are super funny and like repeating them as germanly as possible. its like a nationwide sport so kurt doing it for funsies would also be totally reasonable.
overall i tend to take a lot of inspiration from evo for my version of a teen kurt bc the way he's characterized could totally be a super young and immature version of the sweet calm fuzzy guy we all know n love. hes silly and pranky and kind of annoying, but he's also really caring and the way his relationship with kitty evolved from a silly crush to genuine friendship was SO sweet. i love when kurt is shown that way, flirty but ultimately completely unselfish when his affections aren't returned and totally glad to just be friends with someone he had a crush on. i do think it's really lame how he uses the image inducer all the time since kurt NOT using the inducer anymore is such a big part of his character arc, and him using it at HOME all the time too is really weird but... well, whatever. in total one hell of a lovable, great kurt.
plus his design is super cute. how can you not love that 90ies boyband middlepart??

Guys look up Lara Kessia ASAP if you like artists with cute, stylized YA-esque illustrations and support her work if possible (I tried to see if she has other social media platforms but couldn’t find any; if you know this artist and know where else to find her, please mention them in messages/tags!)
I stumbled upon her work completely by accident and found THIS:

So because of 97' i went back and warched Xmen TAS. And shortly into it I kept being like "As soon as I make it through this I can watch Evolution again."
And having just finished Evolution, it is my favorite by far. I hold out hope we can get some more seasons of that one day.
Evolution is the best. I had a smile so much watching that cute little slice of life Xmen show.

My @marveltrumpshate charity auction listings are live! Check out my SFW listing here, and my Explicit listing here! (Explicit tropes briefly mentioned in both due to overall preferences at top)
I’m offering stuff for Moon Knight (both show and comics and a whOle lot of stuff within that), Spiderdads/Spiderparents/Miguel-centric from ATSV, and for my SFW, Logan and Xavier from X-Men Evolution!
Reminder that my works offered for these auctions will be taking the place of two of my usually open commission slots for January. While I will continue to have Palestinian donation comms open, those are only up to 1k words, and these listings go up to 4k-5k in their brackets. If you’re interested in getting a longer work from me soon, then check these out as it’s unlikely I’ll be opening more comm slots at that time!! (And also ofc please still look for ways to support Palestine and Palestinian growth and resistance however you can either way!)
Feel free to ask any questions in my comments, asks, or dms, and good luck bidding :-D
