Fox's x-men live action drama series close to being green-lit

[Grey]

This was a news article here on cbr but I thought a discussion thread in the x-forums would be helpful to spread the news.

Looks like since hellfire was scrapped, another x-men idea was proposed. Sounds pretty good too, and a bit more traditionally xmen with the whole "mutants running from the government" plot.

As the article points out this is also a concept interesting given the current socio-political environment.

it's a show by fox, not holding my breath.

If marvel collaborates with fox on it, like they are with legion, it may give more reason to be optimistic about their relationship as well.

[Meta jon]

will probably have very little to do with anything X-men and that will probably only get mentioned in passing
sadly I feel they are slapping the X-men name on it to draw in viewers

[Knives]

I take this seriously when sure it's going to come off the paper but looks interesting.

[Anduinel]

Sounds like it could almost be a Morlocks series.

[Proteus]

This sounds just as bad as every other X-men property from Fox.

Anyone with positive commentary out there?

I am excited to see mutant stories on tv even if it's not exactly the plot I want. The more exposure the better, especially if they turn out good.

I'm not interested in Legion, but I may watch this if it has interesting characters. I'm just hoping things turn out fine for Marvel/Fox relationship so we can get more X-related stuff outside of comics tbh.

Anyone with positive commentary out there?

I'll decide with the casting and trailer.

[jawbreaker]

yeah, althougy I am going to give Legion a try, I really do hope this show has some known fan fave mutants from the books and not more tv writers OCs.

[Silver Phoenix]

I really feel the X-corporation as the "underground" network would work for this series.

I read there will be a mix of known Marvel mutants and original characters. As long as they stay balanced with known and new mutants, this show might be interesting. We still need to hear more about the show tho.

[nx01a]

I'll remain positive about Legion and this series. I hope they will be good and not Mutant X cheap or Tomorrow People 2.0.

[Agronac919]

Between the lackluster Apocalypse and Fan4stic reviews, unclear post-Logan state and Marvel having a say on Legion and this thing, I'm starting to get the feeling FOX is losing it's grip.

They keep saying "X-Men" but it's not. Its merely based in or on the X-Men film universe (not directly like AoS is to the MCU) and centered around characters that don't actually have any canonical foundations...
