Generation X - 1996

I loved this comic! It was one of the last mainstream comics I read before switching to indie books. I have the whole run up untill Larry Hama killed it. I was 14 when the movie aired and was damn excited (I still have the VHS copy I recorded) I remember being very dissapointed when Chamber never showed up, but hey, Max Hedrom!

I was also 14 when it aired.I also have it on VHS, plus on my computer.This was supposed to be the pilot for a series, but Fox passed on it.

thwhtGuardian, I can't be too sure, but I think this only aired once in the United States.(If that's where you live).It was early 1996.You probably missed it.

I also watched Mutant X.It debuted at the same time as Smallville in 2001.I initially liked Mutant X better because it was closer to a superhero show, with alot more action and superpowers.They were working with a syndicated budget, but they did alright.I have every season on DVD.

Yep,as good the comic as awful the adaptation. I remember it perfectly. Terrible cast,especially Banshee and Emma,which looked like a... Ok i don't say that :-D

Yes.It was canceled after season 3.That's around the time we stopped producing those types(syndicated) of series.

i would love to see some of the member of generation-x like chamber,and husk make it to the big screen and some of the new x-men like beak,angel salvador,tito bohusk aka beak 2,anole,rockslide,glob herman,mammomax,and prosimian all would be great additions for any x-men films.and bring in sinister,apocalypse,and the sentinels already.

I know what u guys mean it takes u back, but also I didn't the Mansion was so populare either! All X-Men Movies & Smallville!

I remember this! I don't remember it looking this bad.

BigDaddy, I can burn you a DVD if you want, I lack the computer know howery to e-mail it

I still have Generation X on DVD. Crappy movie, but no worse than The Justice League made for tv movie. Oh and Mutant X was cool, but the annoying part was it was like watching Dark Angel.

@ angryrob, havent' seen that, didnt' know it existed!

Spock@ it's amazing! I'll try to explain the plot though only the songs are in English (yeah, it's a musical) two guys decide to dress up as batman and robin and for some reason their bullies dress like the joker and penguin and start comitting crimes (in song) they also get the help of Catwoman. Then at the end everyone dances to a super hero version of let's go to the hop (entitled let's be good not bad) and I do mean everyone, the Hulk, Wonder Woman, a midget Spider-Man. Weird movie

ok, wtf was that shiite emma did at the beginning? did they give her telekinesis for this? if so I call shenanigans.

Wasn't that series one of Brian Wood's early gigs? They should let him take a crack at the newer "young class" of x-men. He would have been a great choice to take over for the new x-men after Morrison left. Ah well... hindsight.

(rant alert)
TV can't make good superhero work because the lackeys that write for tv take superhero stories at face value. They really don't get that beyond the capes there are real stories, real ideas and real themes being drawn.

They write crap stories where a bunch of uninteresting people go on generic adventures and use lots of badly executed powers in badly executed costumes. They yell out a few snide unrealistic clips of dialogue for the commercial reel and then they realize how much they like the 'cute girl', despite the way they fight each other.

Never, would they take the time on superhero fare, that they do on lost, rome, sopranos... Smallville is literally the closest thing we've got and hell if it's at those show's level.

Writers/producers see the cape and that's all they see. After that, the pitch meeting might as well be over. It's too bad, cuz there are some great adaptations out there waiting to happen. But quality is harder to come by and harder to Keep on tv than it is in theatres.
