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...

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.



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!

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