X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men Trailers

Pryde of the X-Men was a short-lived series about the X-Men, with the main character being Kitty Pryde (whose alias is Shadow Cat, though she never becomes Shadow Cat in the series), which is why the series is titled Pryde of the X-Men. The show was produced by Marvel Productions and Sunbow Productions, who made a pilot for NBC. The pilot aired, but for unknown reasons, it was never turned into a full-blown series. Despite it not becoming a full series, the pilot has aired in syndication, and was later released on video.

Okay this is just trash even for a short. The only goods to be coming out of it is the animation and the voice acting.The music is cheesy. I don't remember Kitty ever being this annoying in any other media or cartoon. Emma Frost for some reason is called The White Queen and Wolverine is Australian?This was just a waste of time.

When I was a kid, I liked a lot the animated series of the "X-Men" done in the nineties, but I didn't know that some years before, there was another attempt to adapt the "X-Men" comics into an animated format.This pilot episode, despite some cheesy lines and a strange voice acting, was very entertaining to watch, even if the plot was noticeably more childish and simplistic than the one from the comics (And the one from the animated series of the nineties) though this somewhat kept the essence of the original story.For a Saturday morning cartoon, this wasn't bad at all. I actually think that it would have something interesting to see how this series could have been if more episodes have been done. The intro song was pretty awkward, anyway.

This is probably one of the best comic enspired TV series ever! Sadly, the pilot was never turned into a series!! It was a great adaptation of the comic book, and was home of some of the best voice talent of the time. Sadly, the show was shelved, and several years later, when X-Men made it to TV, a weaker cartoon was devised. This is eternally regarded as the difinitive X-Men cartoon in my book, and should be seen by any X-Fan! If you are lucky enough to find the VHS copy, buy it! I did, and I've never regretted it.

Why does everyone seem to hate this? Sure, the story was 100% generic, but it was definitely watchable. While the Saban cartoon that followed it around four years later was much more complex story-wise, its animation couldn't hold a candle to this one. If they were somehow able to combine this cartoon's animation with the stories of the show that came after this, we would have had a GREAT series.
