Sorry, Legion Talkback. I can never participate with you until a few hours after it airs. Hope you enjoy the episode!

>>90753772
I suppose that's one of the benefits of having a cable/interne package, even if I rarely watch anything on TV nowadays.

who's ready for their weekly fill of some X-Kino

>>90753772
sup tv dot org

It begins.

>>90754450
I know the Kino meme gets thrown around a lot, but Legion is legit my favorite comic book show, maybe one of my favorite comic book adaptions in general.

>>90753772
Legion actually has few commercials. Like 3 per hour, instead of the usual 5 on main networks.

Is anyone else extra attracted to Aubrey Plaza now that she's in a turtleneck and glasses?

what is Yellow Eyes getting out of this?

why not just fucking kill them all and be done with it?

>>90754760
honestly just getting rid of her long hair has done wonders for her

>diagnosing the Kerrys

kek

The Eye's eye isn't weird anymore!

you'd figure the Eye's powers would help him figure out the illusion a little bit

>>90754688
if kino was an unironic term of endearment, this would be kino

>>90754770
I'm pretty sure despite how powerful he is that if Yellow Eyes went and just murdered everyone David likes David would respond by burning him out in a psychotic rage.

>repeating the spit scene

hahahahahahahahh

I love this episode already.

>everyone loves dogs
>I don't
HE KNOWS

What if spit man is the REAL David?

time for Plaza rape

Aha, so Amy *is* in this place. Interesting that the DYE lets her not be a patient.

I guess that makes sense, since she probably never doubted her sanity -- not as much as the mutants have.

>>90754925
inb4 David is actually trapping everyone in the illusion and Yellow Eyes is just as much a victim.

those CGI tomatos

What a pie stealing monster.

I'm starting to feel like I'm not smart enough to appreciate this show.

Sudden music video.

oh my

dick = diamonds

I don't know what the fuck is going on but it's making my dick hard.

What did Lenny mean by this?

Holy shit this is "Muh Dick: The Episode"

I love nina simone but I feel she's overused in tv/movies

also, DOES THIS SHOW EXIST TO MAKE ME SUICIDAL OVER THE KNOWLEDGE THAT AUBREY PLAZA WILL NEVER FUCK ME?

>reversing this scene

heh.

NO FEET AGAIN

That Lenny scene made my dick diamonds but I can't help but notice out abrupt and out of place it was. It didn't really serve a purpose other than making people cream their pants.

it's a new dawn
it's a new day
it's a new life

>>90755266
well it worked

>>90755266
It showed what was behind the door and that Lenny (and not David) is in control of this "dream".

>>90755266
It showed how Shadow King has locked away David's memories and trapped him in the mental hospital one.

>>90755276
New day rocks!

Oh God did David absorb them all

>the Kerrys dreamt of Melanie's husband

interesting

Man that transition was clean.

Especially with all the injuries and his old clothes returning.

>>90755469
nah seems like Jermaine realizes Yellow Eyes is stirring up shit and trying to save them

Am I still tripping from last night's acid

Maybe this place, 4chan, is a version of reality and not reality itself.

Uh-oh, someone's looking behind the curtain.

>>90753724
I wasn't even aware there was a season one. Is it any good?

DON'T LISTEN TO HER MUSIC, SYD

>>90755702
We are 40 minutes into the 6th episode of season 1 right now. It is pure kino.

I'm not used to freaking out over something so peaceful.

I wish DYE would tuck me in

kek, this peaceful shit doesn't work on Femkerry because she is only at peace while in conflict

Man The Eye managed to ramp up the creepy factor even more when he started talking.

inb4 dream rape

Is there any chance Ghost in the Shell won't suck?

>>90755847
fuck no, but it might be a pretty mess to watch atleast once, just to see how bad it is

>>90755847
nope

>>90755847
Scarlett johansson can't act or fight so not a snowball's chance in hell

>>90755847
About as good a chance the RoboCop reboot had.

Sad

Why did sister turn into such a bitch?

>>90755957
not her. Lenny's image of her. Lenny doesnt like her.

Lenny is projecting her (and David's) insecurity about Amy onto this version of her.

For whatever reason, even though Lenny/DYE is an all-powerful being, they feel really bad that Amy might have always hated David.

ah, now comes the Plaza rape

>>90756327
I am thinking David's father killed its original body so it attached itself to his son David's mind because of how powerful it would become.

I just love how we all thought it was going to be a crappy "mutant team versus military" show, but that went straight out the window in a single episode.

>>90756327
More like a parasite.

>>90756419
Considering Fargo was anything but conventional and the series promoted the idea that there would be a lot of mindfuckery early on, I didn't really expect anything different.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtGnECt36Ac

Promo for anyone that missed it.

>>90756396

this show is bad, very boring. All of them are psychics too, this has nothing to do with mutants

"All of them are psychics too, this has nothing to do with mutants"

You just contradicted yourself there, dumbass.

>>90757507
Hey, i love the fuck out of this show, but the lack of cable means i have to wait on torrents. I'd love to participate in threads, but there just aren't any by the time i get to watch it.

Great news about season 2! How many more episodes does this season have?

>>90753724
You know what would be a great twist?

If he gets whatever his dad got in LOGAN, but it actually makes him completely sane and lucid with full control of his powers.

>>90757736
the whole mutant X man tie in is just for marketing. If this show was just about esper people it would be exactly the same thing. Not a single one of them has a power that isn't psionic in nature yet

>>90757759
2 more episodes, I think. It's an 8 episode season.

>>90757842
I am so okay with that. Damn, that means we're really going full throttle with it now then, huh?

>>90758148
That's not a psychic power. You are retarded.

Explain how. That's like saying Multiple Man is has psychic power. Just because they haven't showed powers you want doesn't everything is psychic.

>>90756832
Sounds more like Shadow King. That's SK's whole schtick. Psychic parasite that gets into pissing matches with Xavier.

Even though it was obvious, this alternate promo confirms that it's the Shadow King.

>>90760219
>>90760249
We need some webms of her dancing.

>>90757806
You do know it's based on the marvel comic right?

I missed the first eight minutes, before Phyllis slaps Syd's butt. What happened?

>>90761250
Wonder what Mojo fans think now.

>>90762715

I was a backer of the Mojo theory after the first ep but it being Shadow King works better given the direction the show has gone in.

>>90762474
>Everyone has a 1-on-1 session with Lenny (2-on-1 in the Kerrys' case)
>Each one talks about vulnerable points
>Miss Bird talks about how she believes her husband will come back and she hasn't changed anything ever while Lenny retorts she's frozen not just her husband but herself as well
>Ptonomy talks about how he was 5 and his mother just randomly dies and how he constantly revisits this memory, just watching because he can't interact with it
>The Kerrys talk about how they love being together despite having literally nothing in common besides only having the same body and finishing each other's sentences
>The Eye was the last boy to mature through puberty in his age group but he doesn't care, he only cares about the results.
>Syd talks about how she doesn't feel like this world is real, as if it's a dream.
>Lenny tells Syd how it's time for her meds
>On the way to get her meds, Syd finds an odd out-of-place door that has a beating coming from it

>>90762715
>>90762841
I'll be frank: I never understood why anyone would have thought Mojo. To me, it was damn obvious from the beginning it was going to be the Shadow King. And yes, I know that adaptations don't have to strictly adhere to the comics but it would've been stupid to do anything other.

>>90762918
Thanks.

>>90763145
People kept on saying "the TVs."

The real question is, are they all effected by a shrink ray?

>>90763322
I knew it was sk when the dog was named king.

So what exactly -is- Walter/eye dude's power? Does he just have a suite of perception-themed abilities, like making people think he's someone else (without actually changing form) and having a better chance at sensing other abilities/illusions?

>>90763322
oh god the shrink ray again

>>90763779
Is that a meme from Westworld? Jesus. Next we'll be snekposting.

>>90762474
Man, I really need a webm of that.

>>90759930
The writer/director is a lot better and he's given a fair amount of leeway to do crazy shit. The Netflix shows are good to ok, but at the end of the day it's mostly just average action.

>>90763822
What about shrink rays and Westworld?

Fucking loved it.

All they have to do is make sure there's alternate personalities somewhere along the line and we're golden. Maybe a mindscape journey for him learning about his non-psi powers or something? Maybe with 'his' mind locked away the others are revealed? I don't care. The parasite is only compelling for one season, though. Once it's dead things get tricky writting wise unless there's another personal adversity to his powers.

>>90757806

You don't want to know. It was a /tv/ meme for like two months.

>>90754846
Maybe he has, but doesn't have the juice to beat it, which is why he's gone all rapey. He's imprisoned anyway and it wouldn't technically leave evidence.

>>90755266

In Westworld the control center looks down upon the dark using a miniature hologram type thing that they can zoom in on people to see whats going on.
It makes the people in the dark look like miniatures so the meme started that they shrink you on the train and put you in that miniature in the control room.

>>90764151
Remember that first scene, when it goes from the train, zooms out, and goes to the table in the control room? Everyone just assumed that it was a hologram, right?
Well, some retards on tv were talking about the shrink ray like if the entire Westworld park was on the fucking table. Like they shrunk guests and put them there.

The real question is why the demon keeps that form instead of changing his self image forever. Who would want to be ugly amiright

It's whatever remains of Farouk's rotting mind.

They have already hinted this by showing a group full of strangers circling David and screaming at him multiple times

they are just stretching 3 episodes worth of plot on 8 episodes

>>90765422

SHIIIIIEEEEEEIEETTT

So how much of this is still in his head? I thought the girl and everyone was still a different personality of his. They better not say IT WAS ALL A DREAM kinda bull in the end.

>>90769838
In that case, it'd be really neat if the season ends with Shadow King getting BTFO...and then David finding out how many powers and personalities he has when they're not being drained by SK.

>>90769000

>So how much of this is still in his head?
None of it, really. They're in the Astral Plane.

>I thought the girl and everyone was still a different personality of his
At this point, there's nothing to imply that the show's version of David is actually schizophrenic like his comic version. There's just David and Shadow King, and Shadow King manifests himself is a number of different personalities/beings, but they're all just SK.

Syd, Cary/Karey, Melanie, they're all real people. Their psyches are just trapped in the astral plane being manipulated by Farouk through David's powers.

>>90769955
This is probably going to be it.

I mean, the majority of the season has run on everyone not being sure whether David is crazy or not. Up to even dismissing the idea that he could actually have MPD of some sort.

Also, a good theory is that Shadow King escapes in Oliver Bird's body

>>90770031

who the fuck is behind david in the garden?

>>90769922

better than most of television spreading 1 episode of plot over 22 episodes

>>90770128
Wall Dude had a hidey-hole in the first episode. He could've been an early shape of DYE since he shows up in the final shot of the first episode in a similar hiding space outside of the pool.

Or it's just a crazy dude with issues. Or he's the camouflage power.

>when Lenny brushed all of David's hair upward

I knew they would reference his hairstyle somehow

I wonder if this is taking a point from the recent Legion book and Xavier is dead, which freed DYE and broke the latch on David's powers. Or Division 3 showed up on his doorstep and The Eye provoked him, unintentionally breaking Xavier's barrier on David and Shadow King, who Chuck pulled a Naruto on because why not

>>90770281
Wait is that actually why Xavier was a deadbeat

>>90770495
>actually why Xavier was a deadbeat

no it's because he's an asshole and he chose his "children" Scott, Jean, etc over David because he saw potential in them whereas he saw David as nothing but a helpless mess

Charles is a pretentious piece of shit, real picky over who he chooses to help because it's not really about helping people but more about his war with Magneto

>>90770567
In this show they seem to hint that he was trying to protect him from DYW by giving him up

>>90770495
in the last comic run, Xavier's death made Legion unintentionally blow up a refuge for all levels of psychics and mystics. It also blew up the "mind prison" Legion was using to keep everything under control and at some point a version of Xavier appeared in Legion's mind prison. Didn't read past it during the storytime so idk if that was Legion's creation, Xavier or someone else.

>>90770607

Shadow King claims to have been with David all his life, from birth. This goes right along with David's story of his dog "King" who David said was always by his side when he was younger

Xavier couldn't have kept Shadow King away if he was already in David's head. Charles just pussied out and pushed David away. If Charles knew about it, then he should have known that keeping a distance from David wouldn't change anything

Dammit. I knew Charles was a shitty person but I thought he at least had some good qualities. Funny imagining how Legion and Logan paint different pictures of Xaxier, like what we see in the comics.

According to the Shadow King it seems like Charles had no idea David was already infected by him.
Don't think Charles did it out of malice, he was probably trying to protect David and SK just hid himself very well.

Speaking of Charles, I wonder what the X-Men are up to right now.

Maybe he detected him before birth, separated him and gave David away to hide him from DYE

Why else would DYE say

>He thouht he could hide you from me, but he was wrong I found you

I don't disagree. I'm still right and he scene serve a purpose way beyond muh dick.

>Who knew Aubrey Plaza could play such a good villain.

Parks and Rec was basically her audition to be a villain. April was basically a Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain -- goofy and silly sometimes but ultimately a bit amoral, albeit with a touch of goodness in her.
