Hey there, does anyone know what episode this scene is from?

What the title says, and frankly what the heck! I mean it could be super low budget at times, but the cast was awesome! I loved Blink, Lorna and Esme, plus Fenris, Thunderbird and Eclipse???? Also Reed is totally alive! They should have done at least season 3 with the days of future past plot. Too bad we provably won’t ever see this roster of X-men character in live action again.

He’s more than okay with hurting and murdering mutants including his own baby’s mom but when it’s the evil humans that actually torture and abuse the mutants he’ll victimize them and even defend them. But when it’s him doing it like torturing other mutants his sudden holier than thou “morals” are no where to be found. And let’s not even talk about him and the cartel where were his morals there when was profiting hurting others.

I just bought The Gifted: The Complete First Season DVD new in plastic from my local Goodwill store. The cover and the discs match the pictures of legit DVDs I can find on eBay, but the plastic case itself is different, and the discs are single layer, not dual layer (each disc is 4.19GB). Was the First Season a Manufactured On Demand DVD, or did I accidentally buy a bootleg?

Edit: I compared it to the DVD of another FOX show, Enlisted, which is a MOD DVD and the discs have a purple bottom, but Disc 1 is 6.45GB, and Disc 2 is 7.27GB. The Gifted discs have the silver bottom, so it's harder to tell if they are burned or pressed.

I understand I may twist some heads with this but hear me out.

In terms of power she’s high tier without being op (not all threats are made of metal)

She has a more personal stake in the mutant human conflict as a mother as opposed to everyone who is hunted

And mostly sees the forest for the trees. We are suppose to see her ripping a plane apart as a bad thing, even if she’s killing someone who wants her and her people dead period. Maybe I just admire she’s not afraid to dirty her hands as opposed to everyone who appeals to the morality of their oppressors (which never works)

Small thing: I find Marcos to be a bit of a hypocrite. It’s implied he’s done some bad shit in the past and even did some favors for his cartel buddies to help Lorna. Yet he turns his nose up at the idea of hurting people like the purifiers or sentinal services

I questioned why they would cancel such a good show. At first I respected the way they realistically had deaths in the show. It really represented if this was real, people would definitely be dropping easily like flies. But, idk i just drew the line at them killing off sage and clarice 😭 I feel like they took it too far right there, and ultimately the viewership probably dropped tbh and got the show cancelled. Just my guess.

I've read quite a lot of X-Men comics, and although some have similarities to the show (mainly in characters, of course), nothing quite hits the mark for me. Perhaps I haven't been looking in the right direction. As indicated in the title, I'd genuinely appreciate any recommendations for comics, books, or TV shows that capture a similar vibe. Thanks!!

I just finished this and it's annoying how it was left with a click hanger. Is there a fanfiction out that that would pick up where this left off?

Either the writing is weird or the acting is. The only good actor in the show is Emma Dumont. And I’m kinda mad that they killed off Sonya just to place Jonny and Clarice together, that’s kinda sick. They should’ve at least let Sonya remove the memory, it’s SO weird. Cartel girl’s acting was maddddd weird.

Okay so I don't know why people defended clarice when she stole for the morlcoks because in all honesty erg was no better than revva Payge and Benedict Ryan think about erg forced his fellow mutants to mutilate themselves to put a m on there face not only that how many mutants do you think erg made cut ties with human friends and family so yeah I don't understand the love for the morlcoks

What do you think would happen if Lauren during a underground mutant mission ends up disappearing, and Lauren ends up in the MCU by herself with no way back to her universe while encountering other teen heroes like The Runaways, Cloak & Dagger, Cassie, Kate, and Ms.Marvel?

dammit!!! i read that this was cancelled after season 2. but i thought what the.hell? now im fucking obssessed and pissed at whoever decided this should be cancelled

I am love this show. I am watch episode won, but I am looking forward to season two. Any twisted turns I should know about?

One of my biggest issues with the gifted is the cliffhanger with the underground. Anyone know if there was ever a finish to evangeline whedon’s soryline? she had so much potential as a leader just to be given an unfinished story.

It sure seemed like thats what it was in season 1 especially with the whole bullying thing and I thought thats where his story was going.

Like the Struckers should all have a southern accent and should alot of the mutants from there

them inherenting their grandad's and great Aunts powers really makes wayyyyy more sense if they were twins. Both of them shouldve been 15

His character should be exactly the same but gay. I think it woulda made more sense for his storyline in season 1 and psycho Rebecca could've been psycho Ronnie instead 🤷

Hello!

I sadly just discovered this show a couple of weeks ago. I didn't even know it existed until I saw some edits on TikTok. I just finished the final season, but I wonder how you all think season 3 would have gone if there had been one.

I do not hate how the show ended, as I felt like most of the plots were wrapped up in the last episode minus the introduced cliffhanger. Since I am several years late to the party, I would like to know what people had speculated would have happened in a season 3 though.

So it probably sounds dumb, I've just started watching but how do you tells Esme, Phoebe and Sophie apart? I know Esme is front and centre.

Obviously Esme is main of the three. She usually plays with her fingernails. The one on the left, I think is Sophie? Normally holding her wrist The one on on the right I think is Phoebe? Generally has her hand on her hip?

I struggle a little with Sophie and Phoebe. Sophie's the one who comes off more aggressive? Phoebe's the one with the creepy voice?

I just started watching this series this month and I'm at season 2. I can't get over how terrible they portray Reeva's ability 🤣 The show has a lot of good parts (I like the overall plot - not the best it could've been, but bearable), but this thing with Reeva is just the cherry on top of what makes a show bad. It's like they were aiming for horrifying but ended up at horrendous. More laughable than it is intimidating. What the heck is that camerawork.

What were the producers even thinking? It's like they wanted to make an OP ability but couldn't think of anything else. It would have been better if they showed her without an ability until the end, shroud her in mystery - would have made her more interesting rather than having this stupid portrayal... If this happened in just 1 episode, I would not have minded it as much.

They could have also used a whistle or harmonica or a tool of some sort to help polish her ability. Or maybe make the eyes black? Idk. I understand if they were going for a "disturbing" look but it's like they went towards that and stopped halfway from reality - just a stupid place to park, especially for a character in her position.

If they really wanted to stick with this ability, they should not have focused on her and instead the objects and people around her. That was really all they needed to do, plus maybe a few vibrations emphasized towards where she directs the "sound"... Maybe show people being affected even if the sound isn't directed at them, maybe they cover their ears or their head or back off. Flicker the lights maybe. Some objects will vibrate... The operatic sound and hand gesture are just unnecessary and makes her look like a showfool... It doesn't matter if she was making a sound only mutants could hear or something like that, having her ability show residue vibrations from a diff sound spectrum will help show powerful the ability is.

(PLUS, I'm not a fan of the killing the Hellfire Club she did. They should have just had her be a member since the beginning, or a member that didn't age, or maybe a child of one of the originals... Killing wasn't really that impressive if they wanted to establish her as a smart leader. That scene just established her as a psycho control freak. The mystery behind the Hellfire Club was quenched and it became lame once she stepped in as head)

Okay so what I liked about the show it made the prejudice go both ways and call out 2 examples I can think of First is when Andy said the humans are coming after us and reed asks so me and your mother are coming after you The second is when catlin calls erg out assuming it was mutants working at the clinic and not humans And if you've seen the state of the x men comics in the last decade or 2 especially in the last 4 years with what John hickman has done don't expect to see that in the comics anytime soon

In season two she was so annoying all she cared was finding Andy like he was kidnapped when he actually left practically ignored Lauren and then she putting on the pressure in Lauren to take care of the family and bring Andy home also she didn’t notice reed powers came back

I just finished up The Gifted and figured I’d share my thoughts on it. I’m a huge fan of the X-Men movie series but I didn’t understand what this show was at the time it was made so I didn’t bother with it.

At the time they didn’t make it clear when and where this show was really set. You can get the idea while watching it, but all I remember of the word they put out about it from the time was, ‘it’s set in an X-Men universe where the X-Men have disappeared’. Based on that it sounded completely disconnected from the movie universe and I didn’t bother with it.

Upon reading the recent comments here I was made aware that this show is set in between The Wolverine and Days of Future Past in the OG timeline.

As someone else wrote here recently, going into this show knowing exactly what it was meant to be really made it more enjoyable.

I loved the world building this show added to the X-Men movie canon. The 7/15 event happens four years in the past of this show which is set in 2017. The events of The Wolverine happen in 2013 and ends with Logan landing in the US and meeting Erik and Charles at the airport with them bring news of terrible things to come. So you can plot that while Logan is in Japan in 2013, the 7/15 event happens causing the wave of hate towards Mutants to rise, Logan arrives back in the US, Logan, the X-Men and The Brotherhood all disappear into hiding, the events of the show happen and leads on to Days of Future Past.

We’ll never know if it was accidental or intentional but to end the show with Blink and Thunderbird/Warpath meeting up again leads so perfectly into the beginning of Days of Future Past.

The backstory to Trask and their shady work with Mutant experimentation, Turner’s constant fall to darker depths showing how even what should be the best of us succumbs to hate, the use of hate groups like The Purifiers. Everything this show adds to canon showing the ramp up in mutant hate and government crackdown is awesome.

The action and VFX in the first season weren’t so bad for a tv budget. I felt a distinct lack of action and VFX in much of the second season. I don’t know if they suffered budget slashing on season 2 but it felt that way. Blink and other characters using their powers in an ‘off-screen’ manner with some lights flashing on other people seemed to happen more frequently as things went on.

It’s everywhere else it starts to fall apart. The family drama of the Struckers felt like the same conversation over and over and over again. The second season meandered more than the first and didn’t have anywhere near as much urgency or drive as the first.

In the two seasons totaling 29 episodes, you could have had a killer two seasons of 8 episodes each. Everything else was soap opera drama filler. It felt like they had these really cool world building moments they wanted to add to the X-Men movie canon but had to fill an entire tv show so everything else was soapy drama scenes for the sake of them.

But to end on a positive, this show really was nowhere near as bad as I was expecting and the fact it ends on a downbeat death ending only works in it’s favor now we know when and where it’s supposed to be set. As a finished tale, we’re watching the downward spiral, collapse and end of the Mutant Underground, one event in many on this path to oblivion. Circumstance gave this show a very fitting and perfect ending.

This show joins my X-Men movie collection as an absolutely worthy installment even if I probably won’t revisit it.

He’s so grown up! Took me a second to recognize him in Wednesday
