Only the last name listed is Polaris, the other two have joined the cast as new characters.

It's a poorly worded headline

Well, the movies are pretty much the Wolverine and Mystique show, so that makes sense to use different media to explore the rest of it.

A family of characters not from the comics?

What is it with the shows and being so far from the source material? Haven't the movies shown that using the source material is a successful formula? Do they want the Mutant X audience?

SAM (Blair Redford).

I think of both Enchantresses, then Polaris, then Emerald Empress

It won't be as good as Legion but it has potential

Sounds pretty good.

They're doing the same fucking thing Marvel and DC are doing

They don't want a big name guy like Wolverine or Cyclops on a TV show because then if there's two versions of the same character there's apparently a huge fear that the audience would become so incredibly confused that the movie would then bomb at the box office

Still waiting for my Alpha Flight show so teenage girls can ruin Northstar by shipping him with everything that has a penis.

She's weird, has a big butt, but prefers to hide her with this sad thinness

>>90369462

so, marvel and fox are now the best friends?

>>90369572
Polaris is a qt :3

>>90369611
This guy's basically Sunspot.
>>90369637
Warpath or Thunderbird. Calling it now.

>>90372731
>Warpath
>Sunspot
>Blink

Prequel to DOFP?

>>90372787
The thing is Sunspot is probably going to be in the New Mutants movie. So this is just going to be Sunspot in everything but name. No clue hat they're going to do with actual Sunspot. Maybe play up him being a rich playboy.

>>90372813
>>90372787
not!Sunspot not!Warpath

>>90370426
Also Circe.
What's with all the green sorceress types in comics

They need to make one of them ugly as fuck with makeup otherwise they've kinda missed the point of "mutants".

>>90373076
>They need to make one of them ugly as fuck with makeup otherwise they've kinda missed the point of "mutants".
Not really. Most named mutants are gorgeous super-model-tier. It's the inhumans that are all supposed to be ugly as fuck.

>>90372673
>marvel and fox are now the best friends?
Marvel Television and Fox are. Marvel Studios and Fox still hate each other.

>>90372332
Fox wants to make a movie out of it.

>>90368617
>Bryan Singer will direct the pilot episode of the still not officially titled X-Men family drama series
so this series is gonna get ruined by miscast twinks?
Fuck. I don't want Singer to put everyone in black leather.

Apart from that, Polaris seems like a good character to have on this show. Not in any movies but not a literally-who if you ever actually read an X-Men comic or two. She has quite some history and an established personality if they bother to use it.
I'm hoping they keep her occasional insanity/power tripping streaks in. And I sure as fuck hope they play their cards on the Magneto connection right.

Either way, this show has me intrigued a bit. An emerging Days of Future Past world with Blink and Polaris in it doesn't sound too bad of a premise. I hope the OC story and characters this revolves around isn't godaweful. And I do fear for the budget and direction in the long run.

>>90373076
Morrison, Ellis, Aaron. Kindly leave X-Men alone.

>>90371969
I think it's less a fear of that and more a fear that if they use those characters they would want the same actors from the movies but that might be too expensive

That was part of the justification by the people working on Legion flip flopping on how strong it's connection is so much. At one point someone connected to the show said it would be too expensive to pay Stewart or McAvoy as well regarded movie actors to reprise the role of Xavier. Of course this is total horseshit as Stewart still regularly does television.

>>90372787
>>90372855
Having the Native guy be Thuderbird and either the older brother of Warpath from DoFP would fit logically. It's only the Sunspot guy that's going to be a weird workaround.

So far we have…

>Blink
>Polaris
>Sentinels
>several OC mutant characters
>underground mutant resistance

I'm likely how this is shaping up. So long as the family drama stuff isn't awful or out of place I think it could be good.

A lot of girls these days actually dye their hair green and other crazy colors.
