RE: The Gifted Episode 1 Review – No Spoilers
"Polaris, Blink and Thunderbird"
WHAT?
There is too much to keep up on in the world, but I thought I had read somewhere this series wasn't even connected to comic book mutant characters, dammit. InHumans was like really really bad, going to have to watch The Gifted now just to wash that taste out.
I am so busy I put inhumans at the bottom of my to watch list, everyone says it so bad, I don't want to watch it.
This show is not connected and connected to both the movies and the comics, it's FOX, their timelines make no sense whatsoever. If you actually try and locate this show with the time traveling stuff they did in Days of Future Past your head will explode.
Polaris, Blink and Thunderbird aren't the main characters which is a bit of shame.
Also there are just way too many comic book shows out there, so I just don't watch them all. Just Marvel and not all of Marvel.
I got about the same habits, if it has a Marvel character at all I will most likely at least give it a shot. DC's best material I am not sure why people consider the best (see: Arrow) Tried watching that three times. Tried Flash once.
If they can get the money to pay their CGI bill, InHumans could do really well if they keep Lockjaw in more scenes. I didn't finish The Gifted last night, but it was unrelated to the show, just had stuff to do.
That is funny about Fox and mutants and the timelines as you are saying. They have such a beautiful universe at their disposal, some could argue that could easily best the MCU/Avengers Universe if Fox would stop f'n around and just let these characters wear their funny spandex outfits instead of putting everyone in leather. Within the little I did see of The Gifted (15 min about so far) I already was just crossing my fingers hoping for a Legion crossover.
I didn't see Legion actually (I know shame on me). But yeah, Fox can do a lot of great things. I don't think it's about the spandex, I think they need a coherent timeline, message and good writers and directors, and right now they are hit or miss. Most or their hits are unrelated standalone. But the timeline is so messed up that they might as well just reboot everything or at least the main X-Men.
I watched the first season of Arrow and it was ok, but not enough for me to continue to season 2. I am somewhere in season 3 of Gotham, it had its moments, until Barbara Gordon. I didn't even try the Flash or Legends of Tomorrow or Supergirl. CW shows are just CW shows, doesn't matter if you put superheroes in them, they are still more CW shows then they are anything else. I can totally see an Arrow and a Supernatural crossover, just because it's a similar vibe (or was in season 1 of Arrow and season 6 of Supernatural).
