All the way back in 1989, a pilot was created for what could have been the first full X-Men animated series. In another universe, this series with Kitty Pryde as the eyes of the audience and an Australian Wolverine succeeded and shaped Marvel cartoons and cinema for the next three decades. But, as listeners of this show know, that wasn't the case.
Rod revisits this pilot, one of his favorite VHS's growing up, while JC experiences for the first time ever, only having seen the animated intro and of course the X-Men Arcade cabinet of the 90s which was based off of these character designs.
Welcome to 2024 with this flashback bonus episode of X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men.
Cyclops is Waiting for Me is our weekly podcast series where we are going back and watching EVERY-SINGLE-X-MEN-ANIMATED-EPISODE we can find. Our first series started with the original 1992 X-Men: The Animated Series building up to the release of X-Men 97’, which we originally thought was coming out in 2023. But since it’s not here yet, we needed to find some other shows to cover including bonus episodes like this one.
"Cyclops is Waiting for Me" Theme written and performed by Ron Wasserman (ASCAP) and Rod Kim (ASCAP)
