Creative Cat Productions | Pryde of the X-Men was a 1989 TV pilot intended to convince executives to make X-Men into a series @creativecatproductions | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
In the late 80s, making X-Men into a TV show would have been a hard sell. The comic had too many characters, was too violent, dealt with too much controversy, and had too many ladies running around in bathing suits…..but that didn’t stop them from trying! Margaret Loesch had a pilot made and thus Pryde of the X-Men was born! It’s a nice effort, it has great animation, but it doesn’t have great writing. Still, the show remains a popular part of the X-Men legacy and leaves a lot of people wondering how things might have been different if TV executives had agreed to turn that 80s X-Men show into a bigger thing?
