   If you haven't seen the 1989 unaired pilot of the first #Xmen animated series, you should watch it right now. It was called 'X-MEN: PRYDE OF THE X-MEN' and it was years ahead of the animated series finally getting greenlit. If you like #XMen97 give this a look. 😎

     @jacklaridian Pryde of the X-Men did air, BTW, it just wasn't picked up for series. I remember catching it in a Saturday morning block that was usually a rerun of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends followed by an episode each of Dino-Riders and the Robocop animated series. IIRC once in awhile they'd run the X-Men pilot instead of Robocop, and pair it with one of the Spider-Man episodes that guest-starred the X-Men.

     @jacklaridian Better animated than X-Men '92, and it's interesting to see the "new girl" throughline from X-Men #1 → Pryde of the X-Men → X-Men '92 → the first X-Men movie.

     Its biggest problem was introducing too many villains at once, which was at least partly down to toy company pressure.

     Marvel thought the X-Men '92 team was nuts for not introducing Magneto until episode 3. They had a point; that'd be like starting a Batman series with some third-stringer like Man-Bat instead of the Joker.

     I remember some pretty weird Saturday Morning Cartoons. The few that come right to mind are Rambo, Police Academy and DEFINITELY the Toxic Crusaders! 😅

     @jacklaridian Yeah, a glance at Wikipedia confirms my memory of it being slotted in for Robocop is right. Apparently they made it instead of a 13th episode of Robocop.

     ...man, it's pretty fucking weird that they used to make Saturday morning cartoons out of movies like Robocop and Toxic Avenger, right?
