Originally posted by Adrift View PostWhat makes you think that this "dad" was Professor X? But yeah, Rogue's got the right idea. Professor X doesn't know anything about Legion at this point I don't think.Originally posted by Adrift View PostI'm SOOO tired of the superhero genre at this point, and I say this as someone who was a comic book nerd some 25 years ago. The first few films, and even shows were pretty exciting. It was great to see the characters you read about for so long actually appearing in the flesh (well, film-flesh anyways), but within a very few short years, the storylines are beginning to get as complicated and tangled as they are in the comics, and it took Marvel and DC decades to get their characters as tangled as they currently are. Add to that that so many of these films/shows have been given the extreme PC makeover that's so prevalent in comics today. It's frustrating to see an ancient female Celtic in a Tibetan monastery (why would an ancient Celt be hanging out in Tibet?) rather than an old Tibetan male in Dr. Strange. Why change such a central aspect of a main character of the books? This idea that everything might hint at racism, so you have to do a 180 at every turn is so tired. To add to the frustration, we have Marvel Disney, and we have Marvel Sony, and most people don't know the difference between DC and Marvel as it is, I'm afraid a show like Legion might simply confuse people further. Is this guy in the same universe as Agents of SHIELD and DareDevil? No? Why not? Ok, then he must belong to the same universe as Green Arrow, and The Flash. He isn't?
Okay, sorry. Had to rant. I haven't seen a preview of the show yet, but I know the character from the early 90s. If I remember correctly, his storyline is pretty confusing as is. He was the secret son of Prof. X that absolutely no one knew about for like 30 years. He's completely schizophrenic (or, more accurately, suffers from multiple personality disorder, which I think has since been rebranded like they do...), and was a major villain for the X-Men, well unknowingly anyways. I remember the storyline being really confusing back in the day. I'm interested in the show just to see how they make sense of it all. I'm also curious to see if they give the show a horror theme, which I think would work out well for the character.
