Emma Frost did not get her secondary mutation of turning her skin into diamond until Grant Marrison wrote the character in New X-Men in 2001, a year after the first X-Men movie was released.

[@IMissThe1990s]

Ahh. That would make sense then! For some reason I thought she had it earlier. Thanks for the correction! Guess i retroactively applied that power and created some false memories of seeing it!

It’s crazy that the estate used for Xavier’s School in this film would go on to be used for the school in the X-Men films.

[@hopefulsemblance]

Fun fact: Jubilee didn’t swear in the network airing (nor did the White Queen make her masturbation joke when teaching the students how to focus… obviously). However, the “director’s cut” put those edits back in. And I believe the “director’s cut” is actually the Australian unedited release of the pilot.

I actually remember watching this on Fox back in the 90's. I enjoyed it, wish they had continued it

[@IMissThe1990s]

My friend wrote out his VHS copy he recorded off the TV of this movie. He was so bummed because I don’t think it ever aired again. I did manage to find it on internet archive though!

I'm surprised it did not get picked up. Suppose the 00's where a better decade for an ongoing supernatural teenage drama.

[@donttrustjamesdeal3403]

@@IMissThe1990s yeah I don't think it ever did repair, it's so sad but typical of Fox as a network. They come out with great shows/ideas, then we are lucky to get more than 1 episode or barely even a season. I remember this show with Lou diamond Phillips from 90's that got 12-13 episodes called Wolf Lake. Great premise, supernatural romance/mystery type thing. Had so much potential.

[@IMissThe1990s]

I actually enjoyed the movie as I was a big Gen X fan back then and I didn’t mind some of the changes made but Jubilee being a different ethnicity kinda disappointed me.

I still think despite how bad the rest of the movie was, Finola Hughes nailed it as Emma Frost and probably why she is portrayed as having a slight British inflection in the comics.

@@IMissThe1990slol no. Emma Frost was based on Emma Peel of The Avengers fame. Of she was always going to have an English accent in the comics!

[@bostonrailfan2427]

when Marvel sold the rights to adaptations of characters they lost input into the characters so had zero input except vetoing the use of characters that are able to be part of multiple series like Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and some villains they had zero inout on the 90s movies, especially the ones shown. hell, the only reason that Fantastic Four movie got made was due to rights management as the holder of the rights retained them until he sold them to Sony for a profit and i loved this movie…unfortunately my VCR didn’t record it right

I remember watching this when it came out. I loved it back in the day. Not sure if it would hold up though. I just found it on KZbin. Someone uploaded the original broadcast version. Also there were actually three Captain America movies prior to Chris Evans. And they were all equally pretty bad. Two in 1979 and one in 1990.

[@stevetheduck1425]

Her in Britain we got 'Mutant-X' and 'Generation X' about the same time, and one a couple of the then isolated cable channels, and later people couldn't tell which one was episode of which. Or even if they'd existed at all. Huge missed opportunity. This was back when there was an animated movie called 'Pryde of the X-Men' as well, just before the X-Men animated series. As far as I can tell, this has never been released here.

[@comic_metal_madness5611]

Wow, this took me back. I was weirdly mesmerised my this "movie" when I watched the tv-recorded tape over and over again. I always figured the main villain was written with Jim Carrey in mind.

[@IMissThe1990s]

Matt Frewer channels a LOT of Jim Carrey throughout the movie. Great actor, just an odd role for him. Such a forgotten superhero movie that was…an odd choice to try and bring to life.

I occasionally think _Pryde of the X-Men_ from the '80s was a fever dream. It was a pilot for an _X-Men_ cartoon that seemingly never got picked up. And since it was in the '80s, it had the '80s X-Men in it, like Nightcrawler and an very adorable Colossus. … oh, and an Aussie Wolverine, for some reason?

I loved this movie when it came out. Taped it, too, and still have the tape. Yes, it's silly, but it's hard to explain how we comic book geeks were starved for movies with our characters back then (I was soooo much younger). Now that we live during the times of peak geek, where there are as many as a dozen comic book movies a year from various sources, we tend to do our best to suppress the memories of that time of horrible scarcity and want.

[@PatriciaCross]

Worth mentioning a few of these movies were made to hold onto rights. The FF movie was the start of the regular "quick, make the FF movie so we don't lose the right!" Which is why it is intentionally so cheap and never planned to be released. The most recent FF was essentially the same; but they also wanted that sweet Marvel money. My favorite part about the Captain America movie was the rubber human ears on the mask. Bold choice!

[@platinumpagoda3079]

[@IMissThe1990s]

Dude! He is channeling some MAJOR Jim Carrey vibes throughout the film. Chews the scenery all day long. His motivation aside, he isn’t the worst part of the movie. It’s just strange seeing him show up in dreams throughout! I remember watching the premier of Generation X and being underwhelmed but what else did we really have! Plus the X-men arcade game Easter egg was so 🤯🤯 as a kid! By the way it’s on YT though the archive dot org footage is slightly higher quality!

I own a copy of the 1990's Fantastic Four film. The Thing is so much cooler in that one, he looked just like the cartoon/comic. The suit had a similar look as the Ninja Turtles.

[@IMissThe1990s]

I 100% agree. I honestly think it's the best live adaptation of The Thing. It may be a little cheesy, but it worked!

[@AaronLevine-t3j]

Whether you like it or not; it is the only live action adaptation that has Jubilee as an active member on a team so far. Yes the later films had Jubilee in it; but it was just an Easter egg in the films. If the movies had Rogue have a child for some reason somehow then Jubilee needs to get an upgrade to her powers so she wouldn't feel like she is useless and inconsistent with her powers like in the 97 animated series. Make her on par with mutants like cyclops. Even have her team up with Wolverine in a live action spin off show. It's not like Fox now owned by Disney has not explored new ideas before like having Poloris be a main character in a live action series and have more sentinel types of robots like in the comics.

[@IMissThe1990s]

I was always so bummed about Jubilee in the current X-Men movies. You're right, she was more of an easter egg than anything. She should have been the main character in the first Singer X-Men movie. Experience the world of the X-Men through her eyes and experience.

[@tkim2320]

None of the people involved in this movie knew Jubilee was Asian when they made it. The excuse they gave when asked why they made her white. Sigh... Making a comic book movie and saying you don't know the source material? I remember them getting hate for that. Not because of race switching, but because they said they didn't know.

I remember this movie, alright!! I taped it off of Fox when it premiered! Even bought a special VHS tape to record it on at the time!! LOVE me some Generation X, even if nobody else remembers it!!

I'm not joking. I actually had a fever when I watched this film back in the 90s. It's a complete synchronicity. It was not a fun time. My teeth were chattering. 😂

Loved Matt Frewer as "Trashcan Man" in Stephen Kings "The Stand"(the good version from 1994) and in "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" as Rick Moranis' characters neighbour

[@IMissThe1990s]

He’s a great actor!

That Nick Fury movie rocked so hard. It's one of my favorite marvel movies acutally.

[@MrBruchman]

I videotaped this movie when it premiered (back when you could do such a thing) and watched it until the tape wore out. I was too young to know any better. Good times.

I remember seeing this on tv as a kid but forgot about it for years. Didn't leave a lasting impression. lol

Something I kind of miss about 90s cinema is those tight shots with accent lights. It can be quirky to punky, but sometimes, it just adds personality to filming. As camera production improved over the years, everyone wants the flatness of a zoom lens, which is great and all for many settings, but that's like all you really see anymore, the same camera lenses over and over. Modern movies often times have become too visually boring with an over use of flatness and subdued colors. The visual style in the 90s had so much more pop to it.

Watched this and Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD when they aired. Nick Fury caught me off guard because I didn't have a tape ready to record it like I did with Generation X.

[@fezthecat1]

I watched this when it aired. I was so excited since I was a fan of Generation X.

[@majorbones251]

Not only did I know it existed, I watched it premier. Also recorded it. On VHS no less! It was weird as hell too lol. Oh the 90s man…

[@josephgrimminck6855]

I saw this back in the day! Great memory, thanks for the review!

[@MoroccanRose85]

I was so excited when this came on Tv. I loved Generation X and wanted them to be a thing. They were my New Mutants.

[@josefayala1974]

I think I briefly heard about this when I was a kid.... but ... I'm glad I missed it.

[@tagonistknightspublishing8972]

All I remember about this movie is Jubilee falling asleep on Skin's shoulder and drooling on him. Yes, I read the source material through AOA and dropped out with the new artwork just couldn't get into it. The movie wasn't bad for a made for TV movie.
