Recall that in the 1990s, the X-Men became popular with an entire generation that saw them for the first time in the animated series that aired between 1992 and 1997, for five seasons.
Faced with this boom, Marvel Films and New World Entertainment joined forces to develop a project that was contemplated as a series, but was intended as a television movie, with the hope that the Fox network would request Generation X as a regular series.
This was the story of Generation X
In the plot of this film, the teenager Jubilee (Heather McComb) has problems with her mutant abilities, so she is rescued by Emma Frost (Finola Hughes) and Sean Cassidy (Jeremy Ratchford), who take her to the School for Gifted Youngsters.
Jubilee meets other students such as M, Skin, Mondo, Buff and Refra, who, like her, must deal with fear and rejection from society because they are born with powers that they must learn to control.
But these mutants are chased by Doctor Russel Tresh, who wants these mutants to take him to the dream dimension.
What led Generation X to not succeed?
The film premiered on Tuesday, February 20, 1996 in the prime time of the Fox network, and after its broadcast the critics of the fans did not wait, which were not the most favorable.
One of the big criticisms against it was the casting of Jubilee, who in the comics is a teenager of Asian descent and for this film an American actress was chosen, which disappointed the fans.
Of course, the absence of important characters like Charles Xavier, Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Jean Grey, Rogue, Gambit, Beast and other mutants was a point against him.

Given the negative response, the Fox network and Marvel aborted the project of a live-action series with the mythology of the X-Men, but four years later the 20th Century Fox studio began the saga that brought the mutants to the big screen. .
