Singer's name being attached is, lol.

Get that man the fuck away from the X-Men. Please.

 

[Kurdel]

Singer's X-Men finally on TV where it belongs.

Harsh but fair.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

So this is set in the X-Men movie universe?

Seems wrong to call it Marvel's The Gifted if that's the case

More proof the F4 will soon be where they belong.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Bet he did have fun at the castings

LOL damn...

Singer's name was attached to Legion too.

Singer directed the pilot here. That's more than having his name attached.

 

[Mariolee]

Looks ok. Will definitely give it a watch. Interesting that a guy straight up says they don't know if the X-Men exist anymore considering this was supposed to be part of the Singer-verse.

 

[Prompto]

Eh. Will probably check out the pilot still but the full trailer didn't do much for me. At least there's still Legion season 2 to look forward to.

I thought they've said it has its own universe? Similar to how Legion is seperate. It kinda fits though if it takes place the same time as Logan.

Me when I heard that X-Men and Brotherhood line. Guess I'll be watching this show too.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

First full trailer was solid, didn't realize Aaron from Syfy's Incorporated was in this.

 

[OnPoint]

I heard that they are already developing a spin-off series following the matriarch of the family.

The working title is...,

Motherstrucker.

[mreddie]

It's a trip seeing this promoted from Marvel's site, still can't get over that.

Marvel promoted Legion, too. The TV shows are technically co-productions, so this makes sense.

 

[The Driver]

Might give the pilot a watch (if only to play whack a mole with the Dallas shots) but it looks like usual superhero buffoonery with CW grade high schoolers. I'm cool with just keeping Legion.

 

[Kaizer]

I'll check it out for sure, trailer was okay.

 

[jrDev]

Is that the guy from True blood and the girl from Person of Interest?

This is obviously a prequel to Logan if it links to the movies right?

Yes and I would say most likely no.

 

[Mariolee]

I thought they've said it has its own universe? Similar to how Legion is seperate. It kinda fits though if it takes place the same time as Logan.

Bryan Singer, the director and basically creative lead for the X-Men movie franchise, is directing the first episode of this series and is producing it. In addition Wikipedia (I know) states "It is connected to the X-Men film series, the second television series to be so". I'm sure there's an interview where Bryan Singer is asked this directly, but can't find it.

With Legion and The Gifted, it seems like it's connected to the movies but still kinda working in its own continuity if that makes sense. Like, they could technically fit in the universe of the films but there's no need to pigeonhole them in if they don't totally line up.

 

[ISOM]

What a weird attitude. He's literally the reason people care about X-Men on screen.

This is like saying Raimi is the reason why people care about Spiderman.

 

[Dalek]

First Full trailer:

This looks incredibly bad.

 

[Pachimari]

Hmm, it doesn't look that good.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Didn't particularly care for the the trailer nor the premise but eh, I'll watch the pilot at least. I was not expecting an actual X-Men name drop.

 

[Bernbaum]

This doesn't look good at all.

Looks formulaic as all hell

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Yikes. They were better off with the shorter trailer.

 

[caliph95]

Save the Children, Save the World

 

[Carcetti]

I can't understand why people even want Singer involved. His boring, visually bland brand of X-Men produced a series of movies where the only good one is really Logan, with no Singer involvement. Without some amazing casting most of those movies would have nothing to them.

 

[Ross61]

As someone who has a complicated feelings about the Fox X-verse, I can say this looks decent at best. But I could see potential to be good. It looks like a Bryan Singer directed pilot. I wonder why they're leading off with his name instead of Matt Nix. It's his fucking show lol.

X2 and DoFP are great movies.

Going with the bigger star i guess and his directing the pilot and his shows weren't as acclaimed Fargo was and that was aimed at the FX crowd, which is why Noah Hawley name is prominent IIRc

#itsallconnected

Yeah this looks meh.

 

[broncobuster]

Trailer makes it look like what I expected Heroes Reborn to be, but not nearly as bad, hopefully.

 

[Discotheque]

X2 and DoFP are great movies.

Love those.

This show doesn't look particularly good though but I'll give it a shot for a few episodes to see how it goes

I think Gotham looked awful too, and it was during the beginning. But it showed potential too and as the season progressed they refined it and knew what they were aiming for and have been putting out some real entertaining schlock ever since.

I hope this ends up being a similar case, because that trailer was mediocre.

 

[SpideySenses]

When I heard Amy Acker was in this I assumed she'd be a badass mutant not a concerned mother, what a waste.

 

[Sir Doom]

Will Blink actually have a role or just a wallpaper

 

[Pachimari]

I thought Jamie Chung would have a larger role, but it seems like she's just gonna be one of them X-Men that pops up here and there. But I'm okay with the blonde being the main actress. I'm not convinced by the boy's acting though.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Considering how fucking amazing Legion was, I would've had hopes for this. But that trailer.... ehhhh...

Sorry Polaris.

 

[TRUE ORDER]

It looks good, I'll give it a chance.
Really hoping that is well received though.

 

[jwk94]

Idk about this. As much as I like the trailer (looks interesting), I kinda have no hope for a super power show on NBC.

 

[Slayven]

Considering how fucking amazing Legion was, I would've had hopes for this. But that trailer.... ehhhh...

Sorry Polaris.

Will you join my boycott of the series? I am not watching the series until Maggot or Marrow shows up

 

[Dysun]

First impression is not good, hopefully its just an awkward trailer

 

[El Topo]

Hopefully the show is better than the trailer.

 

[Dalek]

Will you join my boycott of the series? I am not watching the series until Maggot or Marrow shows up

Will Dr. Cecelia Reyes count?

 

[mgarnica89]

Uhhh....So i guess we're at the point where "Sentinels" are FBI type men in suits with little Robot spiders things.. OK

 

[Wingfan19]

Uhhh....So i guess we're at the point where "Sentinels" are FBI type men in suits with little Robot spiders things.. OK

Well duh, how else are they gonna keep saying, "We have Sentinels chasing us! We have to get out of here!" Only for the MIB to show up... Then in the final episode they actually tease us with a real Sentinel flying in as back up, dun dun duuuuuuun.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Why are they all so sad?

eh,

Why can't you kids just be happy for once. You just lifehacked the vending machine to score some sweet free microwave popcorn.
