Check It Out: Fox Debuts New X-men Gifted Trailer

By

After years in the shadows Marvel has finally allowed FOX to let the X-men come out to play.  Following in the foot steps of FX's critically acclaimed Legion series, the success of the new X-men Resurrection comics line, and now the X-men series: Gifted is set to debut on FOX this Fall.  Enjoy the trailer above, and find our thoughts on it after the break...

Any skepticism I had about a network television series revolving around the X-men were at least partially resolved over the course of this nearly 3 minute trailer.  The characters look somewhat generic, however the setup does not.  Having what looks like the main mutant characters having a Father who works for a anti-mutant task force who faces a tough decision between his career and family.  This looks to make for a fresh mutant premise.  I also love the direct mention of the X-men, as well as the Brotherhood of Mutants in the trailer confirming to the audience that this takes place in an X-men universe that you are familiar with.

The only question I have is which X-men universe is that? Is it the same as the original Bryan Singer X-men films? Is it the reset timeline post Days of Future Past? Is it the same as Legion? Or is this a completely new X-men universe? I guess we will have to wait for Fall 2017 when the show premieres to start getting these answers.

*Updated: FOX has announced Gifted will replace Gotham in the 9 p.m time slot, with Gotham moving down an hour to 8 p.m there still hasn't been any news on a premiere date.

Let us know what you think about the trailer, and if you will be watching the show in the comments below or tweet me @thereelbradbell

The Night He Came Home Again! - A 'Halloween 2018' Review

When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best.  How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
