The Gifted is great, mostly because it's one of the best adaptations of the "mutants are hated, feared, and hunted" aspect of X-Men. There's no safety behind the walls of the Xavier Institute, no organized team with high-tech resources to fall on, and a focus on characters who can't solve things all on their own (IE Magneto, Professor X, and the like). While there's a lot of focus on the Strucker family (focal point/everyman canon foreigners), the overall plot and characters are compelling enough to keep you watching.

And despite statements to the contrary, The Gifted, like Legion, is set in a different continuity from the films.

Nix noted that the film X-Men: Days of Future Past established multiple, different timelines or "streams" in the X-Men universe, and that the series would take advantage of those to avoid the films and comics and instead do "our own thing". He explained that in the series' "stream", the X-Men have disappeared, soon adding that the series would not be "driving" the movies or vice versa"

I'm wondering if Blink's exposure on the show is one of the reasons Marvel's bringing back the Exiles comic. Here's hoping that leads to a Blink ML!

@boyBlunder thanks for the heads up I’ll check it out.

Haha now that you mention it, it does have that 90210 feel....dang it :P

Yeah loved how they appeared!

Yes totally agree there with you...

That's great to know.

The Gifted is supposed to be set after the movies where no one knows what happened to the X-Men (My guess is they're on an Australian Vacay)





I think The Gifted picks up and gets better around episode 4ish

For me it's constantly getting better, hopefully it stays like that...

Most likely, I would love a figure for her, and they actually made Blink Asian too haha...

Season Finale was kind of eh...but love seeing Polaris in that outfit of hers...and can never get enough of Sage and the Esme sisters...

[redfox]

Anyone else looking forward to Season 2 on Sept. 25??? Feels like its been far too long between seasons.

Heck yes!! This series just keeps getting better and better, and every time I see the cuckoo sisters...man haha....Surprise not many comments about this show. It's pretty spot on...

[redfox]

The Cuckoo Sisters have been great, and I'm glad to see in the flashback that they were once the 5-in-1. Just having the initial 3 appear without any acknowledgements to the others was kinda bugging me.

Also, Polaris getting her signature tiara in a meaningful way, and not just pure fan-service was great to see. Though, I kinda wish it stood out a little bigger...

[redfox]

Love this show. Just finished watching the 2nd season...that stinger for Season 3...
