THE GIFTED: The Time For Mercy Is Over In The New Promo For January's Midseason Return

@batman001 - Agreed - this is a cool series, live numbers for shows like this no longer should be an issue. Times have changed and people watch shows at their leisure rather than on the day, or the new trend of saving them up and doing a binge session

@Himura - Indeed. I took the plunge and watched the first 10 episodes of the Gifted. Sad to say, this show is generic ASF. There is not a single episode that I want to go back and watch. It also commits the ultimate movie sin in killing off the only black character with barely a significant role (i.e. none. he didn't die, but he looked like he was dead, when he was shot the F up. Blacks as cannon fodder, as usual) Pathetic and tiresome. That other obsidian mutant doesn't count, because he's obviously there for show, just like the sprinkling (blink and miss them) of black characters walking around in the background.

The only interesting thing about this are the Stepford Cuckoos.

All the producers had to do was tie this into X3. That Incident they kept talking about didn't have to be some random protest gone wrong. Just have them say that because Magneto and his brotherhood of mutants destroyed the Golden Gate bridge and invaded an island, killing scores of law enforcement officers, mutants are now being hunted. Simple and 10x more interesting back story. This gives them room to explain why the "cure" didn't last and why the Brotherhood and the X-Men went into hiding. Get rid of the guy who lost his daughter and use someone relevant, like Henry Gyrich. FOX is just aggressively meh with this property.

Speaking of that guy, there was a picture of him with Trask and staff. I didn't see a little person, so this isn't connected to the movies, making it more irrelevant. And mutants in the 50's that are known to be mutants? Give me a break. So much for the world being surprised, when Xavier and crew shows up.

Marvel will surely cancel this nonsense and start over.
