    To me, Legion seemed completely independent of the movies, thankfully.

    I think that's one of the reasons it worked actually.

    Well there was the very obvious nod to Davids dad being a bald, British man.


    Overall I imagine it will be quite loose in terms of the connection. I only cited DoFP since this reunites Blink/Sunspot (renamed Eclipse)/a Proudstar (Thunderbird over Warpath). I assume we will get a similar wink towards Polaris father at some point. Its not going to be an AOS level tie in to any timeline but there'll be an acknowledgement all the same. Legion never nailed itself to a timeline either.

    That trailer is- and I checked my calculations on this- eleventy million times more hype than the inhumans one.

    Yeah, agreed; that's a much better trailer & seems the makings of a much better show. I think what Gifted has in its favour is that the root of the drama is more solid and immediate: it's a family on the run from the FBI (with the added bonus of not immediately annoying teenage children), whereas Inhumans is coming across like a lukewarm Game of Thrones knock-off, without the budget or swagger to properly pull it off.

    Also Amy Acker so that makes it better even if it's crap.


    Which it won't be because of Amy Acker.

    Amy Acker as Medusa and Alexis Denisof as Black Bolt, and Inhumans would have been already renewed for Season 2.

    From what I have gathered it's set in the X-men universe before Logan. I really enjoyed Legion so was really looking forward to this. I loved the first episode. Was pretty sweet when I heard Eclipse has the same ringtone as me

    Episode two was probably better than the first for me if they can keep this going they the makings of a great series.

    Just watched episode 7...
    one complaint - does every american show need to have a troubled love triangle....
    some very cool powers on show..

    the Strucker kids seem to have more confidence and are acting a bit better, especially the boy..

    I watched some of this but I imagine it's days are now numbered. Marvel have full rights to the X-Men/mutants again and have expressed intent to introduce them into the MCU. With the exception of Deadpool, I can't see any non-MCU live action projects having much of a future.

    They were happy enough to let Big Hero 6 to rock, you never know.
