Excited for Hellfire since Fox can't use Emma Frost in their new continuity without first introducing Weapon X and their clones of her (the Stepford Cukoos) since the original Emma is kind of... dead right now.
Legion doesn't really interest me. I have no idea what Fox and Marvel were even thinking with this series. I mean, Fox could have repurposed New Mutants into a TV show since a film sequel would lead to the cast aging up too much between installments. They could have done something with X-Factor. We could have gotten Alpha Flight some attention... but both studios somehow settle on the most obscure character they could find? Somebody whose main claim to fame was killing Mystique's lover and Charles Xavier in the past? Outside of killing major characters, what has Legion done that's all that special? I would much rather see something done along the lines of the X-Files with mutants with X-Factor, The Facts of Life with mutants with new Mutants and JAG with mutants with Alpha Flight.
It's not like Legion wouldn't fit into a New Mutants cast. I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen with Legion.
I mean, with X-Factor, Fox could have Havok, Mystique and Quicksilver form their own team in the early 90s. Something where they'd wind up being secret agents for the government examining the unexplained, like what exactly is the deal with Shatterstar and Layla Miller, a world where reality TV is the basis of society, a ghost of a long dead mutant living on and possessing people and potential demonic invasion from Limbo. (also starring Rictor, Wolfsbane, Multiple Man, Polaris, Val Cooper and Strong Guy)
New Mutants could be about growing up at a boarding school where every few episodes a villain will show up. Most of the arcs would be character driven and students would both graduate to become X-Men and new ones would show up as freshmen with each season. This would have to be initially set in the mid 90s so we can have the cast age along with the films and not cause continuity problems. (Starring Hellion, Cypher, Surge, M, Magik, Wind Dancer, Synch, Mirage, Chamber, Cannonball, Sunspot, Husk, Karma and Prodigy. Possibly also Colossus and Rogue.)
Alpha Flight would focus on the lives of Canada's answer to X-Factor. A period piece set in the late 1990s, we'd get to see much of the series take place in a top secret bunker in the arctic with 3-4 expeditions per season out into different parts of Canada when something endangers national security. By that I mean uncovering a man trapped deep within the ice who has awakened to declare himself the Master of the World or a secret project among all the Western Bloc countries back during the Cold War to breed super soldiers which may still be around and may have gone rogue. (Starring Madison Jeffries, Puck, Windshear, Guardian, Vindicator, Sasquatch, Marrina, Aurora, Northstar and Shaman.)
Instead we're getting a TV series based on Legion...
