Seeing the characters as they originally debuted and juxtaposing them against the All-New X-Men or X-Men Blue or whatever the time-displaced original founding X-Men were called, man have things REALLY changed.

I did a quick Google search to try and get the name of the time-displaced X-Men's book and ended up in some Reddit threads talking about what the people in those threads liked about them.

One comment went, "One issue I've always had with the Silver Age X-Men is that it's too... superhero-ey?"

Pretty much summed up the theme of those two Reddit threads.

I mean, I guess I thought people who say they like superhero comics read them because they're superhero-ey.

I remember my brothers having X-Factor comics (I specifically remember them having the X-Tinction Agenda books) and that's what X-Factor was, getting the original team back together. Personally, I feel X-Factor did it much better than All-New X-Men.

I remember an X book from around the late 90s or early 2000s called X-Men the Lost or Hidden Years that told stories that took place between the five years the original X-Men book was canceled and the Giant Size X-Men relaunch in 1975.

Edit: I just googled it, it was X-Men: The Hidden Years, it was written and penciled by John Byrne. It put out 22 issues between 1999 and 2001 and was canceled prematurely.
