That's impossible, as the Generation X TV movie never existed. All just a bad dream, it was...

Generation-X should be thought to never exist, but X-Men Evolution slides and is refered to being 'awesome'.

Did I just jump into Bizzaro-World?

As much as I'd like to complain about the liberties they took with 'Generation-X' and its series... I enjoyed the pilot. As it was a made-for-tv pilot, not really a movie... yet twas presented as one. It was still shoulders above Nick Fury's pilot, the waste that is Mutant X and the entirety of Elektra.

For the low budget they had it had some pretty sharp moments with Reflax, Mondo and Skin, plus they nailed Jubilee pretty well... even thought she wasn't asian. Hell if it had the Smallville budget, I'd bet it would be 10x better that show could ever be, which I understand isn't saying much. Regardless the movie set the stage for the future live action X-films, so it was a bit of a trend setter and looking back was much better then the Gen13 animated flick.

As for X-Men: Evolution... was practically a slap in the face. After the excellent 'Pryde of the X-Men', to the sometimes excellent, other times medicore 'Fox's X-Men'... to take so many steps backwards to make a X-Men -As teens- was a waste as it could have easily been about The New Mutants (all incarnations), Generation-X or even The New Warriors (Second incarnation). Instead a watered down X-Men with poor characterization and dredful writing wasting the nice animation. Seemed like a complete waste.

And thats how I feel...

Evolution was good because it gave them a chance to ignore all the previous incarnations. They didn't need to remember how many times Jean died and became Phoenix, or how trying to squiggle in how Rogue got her powers from Ms.Marvel...it was a clean slate. Kinda like they tried to do an Ultimate X-Men-style show.

*reads Justin's comments*

Dude...I think you have your ratings backwards.

X-Men Evolution: X-Cellent (especially after the first season)
Fox X-Men: X-Citing, But A Tad X-Cessive
Pryde of the X-Men: X-Crement

MGN, some of those were X-Crutiating to X-amine.

As for Evolution: I loved it. Especially the (unfortunetly) last episode peaking into the future: Phoenix, Colossus and Gambit join up, Rogue gets her Ms.Marvel powers, Iceman joins the main team...

It was really pretty cool. Unfortunetly they didn't get another season.

Ummmm...   yeah.

Anyhoo, I heard they wanted Jean Reno to play Gambit, and that if he declined they wouldn't have the character in the movie.  So I guess he declined.  It's a shame.  Jean Reno would have kicked a lotta ass.
