Topic	The Gifted was a live action X-Men show that nobody watched.

Blink and Thunderbird were in Days of Future Past. Blink was also in cartoons and video games. Thunderbird was in one of the X-Mens very first cartoon appearances. Polaris was Magnetos daughter and she had appeared in several cartoons dating back to the 90s animated series where she was Icemans girlfriend. She had a pretty significant role in Wolverine and the X-Men, as did the Stepford Cuckoos. Its not like the show dug the bottom of the barrel for characters. Its more of a sign of what Marvel has done to the X-Men universe. Theyve destroyed the franchise to the point where people think the whole series is Wolverine and Jean Grey. The very fact that it had lesser characters is why I liked the show so much. MCU proves that it's actually better to take less established characters than the well known "Spiderman!" types and make something of that character. And alternatively, it's why DC sucks so much when it goes straight off into the heavy hitters, Batman and Superman, and disappoints fans. The expectation is too high. I honestly don't get how some fans simply can't understand that point. It's always more fun to see the supporting players when the main character has been so idealized to the point of being godlike, eg watching a story of the batfamily like nightwing and batgirl and robin where Batman is out of town, which opens up a lot more dynamic relationships and possibilities. --- https://imgur.com/0UFI0T9 <cite>saspa posted [p:935653306] in The Gifted...
