>Subject is one of more obscure antagonists of the Marvel

i just finished it today, it really was a nice gem. bummed i didnt catch it when it was airing

Season finale was lackluster considering the build up. What the fuck even is flight of the conchords power?

Yeah that's the case, but the climax really was the second to last episode.

Oliver is a highly-skilled telepath. Like a low-level Xavier with a lot more subtlety and inventiveness. When he constructs the shield to block the bullets he's using David's telekinesis to do it.

generic uber psychic. he's not canon to Legion i the comics so who knows. pretty damn good tho, I actually like his character.

This show was genetically engineered to appeal to a very niche species of gen-x viewer. I honestly had no idea there were enough of us to ever warrant this kind of expenditure.

>>85425102
what did you mean by this?

tell me more about this niche

>>85422732
So are you one of those paid disney posters i hear so much about?

>>85425576
Legion is X-Men m8, Fox gets all the money not Disney. The Disney shills would be shilling against it, unless this is actually a reverse psychology shill job.

Is that guy supposed to be the Beyonder?

>>85422732
He's an antagonist? How?
Seems like a moron who got himself stuck. I stopped watching this show when they went in that house where they were all deaf. Good television, admittedly, to make the whole fucking scene rely on actors and their physical abilities, but I just ran out of steam. Worth finishing?
I also have the feeling that this show ruined season 3 of Fargo, which was absolute trash aside from Varga who clearly deserved better.

Comic nerds who read the original X-men Legion story arc in 1985, which occupied only three issues. But who also liked Jane's Addiction and some of the other 90s-era music in the show not typically enjoyed by comic fans. And the subset of these fans who grew up around the remains of their parent's Danish-modern furniture and accouterments; which also hearkens back to the x-men debut era of the 1960s which we knew we missed out on. So there's a couple layers of nostalgia for us.

Admittedly, that's not an infinitesimal demographic. But it's not a lot of people, and this show put a hell of a lot of production value into pandering to us.

Not everything is cynical shilling, anon. I'm sorry they hurt you.

>>85425827
He's sort of in a position of being a very limited Byeonder.

>>85425916
I was referring to the comics, in which he's an antagonist. While not really malevolent, he's always a problem the heroes have to fix. He never overcomes anything or helps anyone.

actually it goes straight to that aesthetic since it looks original if you look at every other thing ever made in media that isn't comics. X-men for way too much people are the X-men from the animated series.

Yeah. The show contains an enormous quantity of perfectly-preserved antiques, and probably a lot of bespoke fabrications too. Sets like this cost money. Lots of money.

That mod style wasn't even in the comics that I recall, and I collected for years, including back issues. It was included just so it would be a sort of nostalgic touchstone from the real childhoods of gen xers. This entire first season was all about childhood and memory, so there's another layer that adds to its appeal.

The more i think about it the more impressed I am. And the more unlikely it seems.
