History YMMV / TheGifted2017

* HypocriticalFandom: Back when [[Series/{{Inhumans}} Inhumans]] was first released, the general setiment was spite towards that show simply because it wasn't an X-Men show. ''The Gifted'' was met with mostly apathy from everyone.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some fans have this attitude with the reveal that ''Gifted'' is set in another alternate timeline like ''Legion'' pointing out that the show existing in the film universe was one of its selling points and made it unique from Legion.

* {{Narm}}: Andy being bullied in the trailer is difficult to take seriously when all they're shown is dragging him into a locker room and dousing him with water. Having a psychic tantrum is pretty much overkill. Although that might be because he's not in full control of his powers.

* HilariousInHindsight: Since ComicBook/XMen and by extension the word "mutants" were ExiledFromContinuity from the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' resolved to instead use the word "Gifted" for any people with abilities. Now, this term is embraced by the Fox version of Film/XMen as well.

** Many believe Ahab's appearance means Rachel Summers might appear.

* EpilepticTrees: A few have theorized that Emma Dumont's Polaris will either avert or subvert AdaptationDyeJob whether it'll be shown that she's dying her entirely green hair brunette in order to better blend in among normal people or her hair will become more green as her powers develop.

* NamesTheSame: Marco'''s''' Diaz has very little to do with [[WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil Marco Diaz]].

** Beautiful Dreamer, renamed Dreamer, is a highly obscure character, debuting in ComicBook/PowerPack of all things. No one expected her to be in this series.
** Despite being an [[ComicBooks/DaysOfFuturePast as an evil mutant hunter]], no one expected Ahab considering he is more closely associated with Rachel Summers rather than Fenris.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Seeing how this looks canon to [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast X-Men: Days of Future Past's]] new timeline, the pendulum has swung from a time where mutants were being persecuted left and right ... to a time where mutants are being persecuted left and right.

* TearJerker: The fact that even in the alternate timeline Mutants seem to be facing the same prosecution they experienced in the original films even worse when it seems like the X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants have disappeared at this point in the timeline.

* BrokenBase: The revelation at 2017's San Diego Comic-Con That the series is set in a universe separate not only from both film timelines, but also ''Series/{{Legion}}'', (which remains ambiguous as to whether it's part of the film universe or not) has proven divisive. Some liken it to the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse, in which its television series occupy separate universes from both each other, as well as the films, and don't see a problem with the idea of ''The Gifted'' standing on its own. Others are criticizing Fox for establishing yet ''another'' new universe given the franchise's already shaky continuity.

* HeartwarmingMoments: The lengths Reed no Caitlin are willing to go to protect their children. After previous installments of seeing parents outright disown their children for being Mutants it's nice to see parents who love their children unconditionally.

* OlderThanTheyThink: X-Men canon has been using the term "gifted" ever since they called that academy Xavier's School for ''Gifted'' Youngsters.
