Apparently its being reported that Fox is currently in "deep development" on a live action series for the Xmen. Rumor even has it that it would be based on Peter David's Xfactor Investigations.

Your thoughts on this?

It would probably be awful.

As usual I prefer await before to judge. It could be great, but it is also very difficult to characterize properly the X-Men characters: I am under the opinion they are ones of the most complex characters of the comics, if they are the most complex.

It's going to be hard to pull of but with the right writer, director and cast, it could work...

My opinion is mixed. I'm going to wait for a trailer to pass judgement.

As a huge fan of Peter David's run of X Factor, I think it would be fantastic. The connection between Jamie and Layla Miller would be so cool to watch. I really hope Layla is there.

Lastly I dearly hope that’s not the reason marvel are going to cancel Peter David's run of All New X factor.

Hmm. Let's just say it could work With X-factor as a base and leave it at that for now.

As Arrow has proven it could be bad and then turn great, or be very boring like some find Agents of Shield. Either way now is as good a time as any for a mutant show.

I think it being based on Xfactor could work. With the stuff that was done in shows like "V" and "Heroes" as well as "Falling Skies" I'm not too worried en about the special effects though the budget could end up being massive. In another thread this was discussed and someone (cant remember who) mentioned that basically the western world needed to catch on with what the animated shows that the eastern is enjoying and I agreed. This way we can get great stories with no worry about special effects and stuntsand all that. Give me good graphics and maybe the TV writers and developers can fix some of the flaws with some of the past stories, make it an hour and be a pioneer when it comes to this. Our culture seems to think that animated shows belong on cartoon network or nickelodeon and if its on network tv like fox it has to be the funny and silly stuff. I just think you could do more with a serious animated show personally.
