Gifted

[The NZA]

Deadline plot synopsis:

 

"the pilot focuses on two ordinary parents who discover their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive."

 

 

apparently that cast photo was just tweeted...so yeah, Fox is really running with this license

"CANT LET MARVEL TAKE THIS FROM US!"

 

Legion is really really good though.

SiX episodes in and, God, this show is boring.

[The NZA]

^yeah? that was my fear, again i'd only seen the first but haven't gone back since...was hoping to hear it go better as it went.  some of the players/the angle they have here could be interesting but it wasn't coming together for me there. 

[Da Cap'n 2099]

The fucking acting is horrendous, too. Ugh, I really want to like this, but every new episode bores me or makes me roll my eyes more and more. Sure, some stuff is fun, but really the good stuff is too few and far between for my liking. Also, everyone on the show does this hand thingie when "summoning" their powers. I mean, is this the X-Men universe or are we all training in the mountains of Tibet to be the next Sorcerer Supreme or some shit? Jesus!

The Gifted season 2 will explore the Morlocks, and different ways of fighting for freedom.

 

Quote

There are a couple big ideas that we're exploring. One is the idea that there are a lot of different ways to fight for freedom, and they are not all necessarily compatible. We didn't want to go into next season doing a good-guys-versus-bad-guys kind of thing because that's not what it's about. We really wanted to explore the different philosophies and perspectives, with the idea that everybody believes in what they're doing and they're going about it in different ways, and they all see themselves as fighting for freedom

 

maybe i oughta revisit this one 

[Da Cap'n 2099]

Idk, man. Second season premise sounds pretty damn cool, but they're gonna find a way to make it boring. Watch.

[The NZA]

damn. so season 1 didn't turn around, then?

[Da Cap'n 2099]

I quit it. I just couldn't anymore. You know it had to be bad if my completist ass gave up that quick. Shit, I'm still watching Gotham for god's sake!

I'm still watching, still enjoying it. I could try and defend it but lets be real here - it's not high quality. 

 

Also I have a huge crush on Emma Dumont and Polaris so I mean I can't really defend myself. 

 

(and yes there's an and in there - one of those crushes is from like when I was 8 )
