From Splat to Gas. Gotcha.

LightYears

Would be cool, but I won't believe it until I see it.

PhoenixRising

Thanks, LightYears. That seems a mess.

Thanks, LightYears.

I take it the release date is still unchanged?

LightYears

For now, the release date is unchanged. FOX likes to play musical chairs with their release dates though, so don't be surprised if it does change again.

There seems to be a lot of that going around.

PhoenixRising

I just hate having to keep changing the dates in the title.

You know it's about time they became the Old Mutants. They've been around since 1983 and even in Marvel Universe years that's time passing. There was already a younger generation of teeenage mutants called Generation-X introduced in 1994.

PhoenixRising

Yeah, I remember Generation X. That was a bit of a lame marketing ploy to capitalize on my generation ascending in the early 90's.

Actually it started out as a good comic.

PhoenixRising

I did think the title was a bit derivative, but that's good to know.

LightYears

There was a Generation X TV movie that premiered on FOX back in 1996. I haven't seen it, but I heard it's really bad. They even whitewashed Jubilee.

I remember the ads for it in the comics back in the '90s. They had a Canadian guy playing Banshee.

Thanks, LightYears!

OMG, I remember that! Yeah, TV was hopeless when it came to doing superheroes back then. I think that show was trying to capitalize on Gen-X culture as well. I'm not surprised that it didn't adapt the comic that well.
