Just from looking at the poster for the failed X-Men TV pilot can you tell who any of these characters are supposed to be?

>>152977886
No, but I hardly follow x-men
>>
>>152977886
Is bottom right Jubilee?
>>
>>152977886
Is the blonde chick on the left supposed to be Emma Frost?
>>
>>152977886
Are these the actors or the characters? Assuming actors I would guess:
>Prof X
>Cyclops
>Emma Frost
>Storm
>Jean
>Angel
>Gambit
>Ice Man
>Rogue

It was specifically Generation-X, not X-Men proper, so the lineup roughly follows the Generation-X lineup of the time. Blonde chick is Emma Frost, goatee guy is supposed to be Banshee, bottom right is supposed to be Jubilee. Chamber and Husk couldn't be done on a TV budget, so they were subbed out for OC's Refrax and Buff.

Funny enough, Hatley Castle was used for the X-Mansion for the first time in this pilot, and would later be used in the other X-Men films proper.

White chick. Nope.

oh fuck lol

Thos shot confused me so much as a kid because in the 2000s public television would just air the pilot like a regular movie and i had no idea how it tied up with the other X-Men flicks
>>
Imagine cumming on this back.

It was weird they invented a character for the movie rather than just using Husk. Like I get her powers aren't really TV friendly for a number of reasons but it's a weird way to sell a comic adaption or promote a book
>>
>>152978999
I think Husk could have been done but would cost a lot in the practical effects department. Remember V? They had aliens that would tear away at their skin to reveal a lizard underneath.

V was a much bigger deal when it came out, it was a TV miniseries event. Generation-X was ultimately a TV movie of the week to fill a timeslot, and not having a genuine adaptation of the proper X-Men team prior to it's release left it DoA. If the initial timeline for the X-Men movie had stuck to its early 90's release, maybe it would have done okay and had a larger budget allocated for it.

Evil OC Bad Guy, Banshee, Emma Frost
M, OC strong girl Husk replacement, Mondo
Skin, OC Optic Beams Chamber replacement, Jubilee

You talkin' to me, Bub?

De Niro would've been too old even then, but I like the idea of Biehn as Cyclops. They also had Rutger Hauer as Magneto, which would've been good as well.
>>
>>152977886
Oh cool, I can't wait to see Mondo absorb some rock and turn into a big ass golem to kick some ass...
>>
>>152979559
There can be only one, runt!

>>152977886
Trick question: that's Generation X, not the regular X-Men! I saw it when I was a kid. Without looking it up or checking other comments, here's what I remember: top row was their new OC villain played by Matt Frewer on the left, followed by Banshee and White Queen. Second row was M, followed by another OC named Buff (presumably 'cause they didn't have the budget for Husk's power), and then probably Mondo? Bottom row is Skin, some other OC whose name I don't remember, and then Jubilee.

>>152977886
for one thing, it's not X-men, it's Generation X. The two old people are Banshee and Emma Frost. The kids are Chamber, Husk, Skin, M, and of course Jubilee.

Pitch the MCU reboot.
