That's pretty surprising.
I mean the apparent produced by Marvel thing.
Maybe some deals were worked out.
One Strip! One Strip!Another Marvel adaptation? BOOOO!
So, I'll just echo the sentiment that the only reason I have any optimism for this project is that the X-men are such a diverse group with such an open premise that nothing really needs to be rehashed, at the very least they need not play to anything already in popular imaginarium. But the realist in me says this is going to be another Wolverine show.

New promo along with a premiere date of Wednesday February 8th at 10:00 PM!
I'll be watching the first four episodes and then decide from there. I'm not really a fan of the FOX's interpretation of the X-Men but this looks interesting.
However, (and I may seem like the dumbest person on the internet for this) I have no idea what this show is about. I mean, if it's not the main default X-Men cast then...I don't know. I mean is this a prequel or...a sequel...or a midquel, maybe?
Anyone know?
It's about Xavier's son (who the Professor may or may not know about), the most powerful mutant alive. Except he's also a schizophrenic, or thinks he is. I suspect it takes place in '80s or '90s based on the overall aesthetic, but that could just be a design choice.
Really liking the visual style on this, whether or not it's faithful to the comics. Most of the comics aren't faithful to the comics for that matter, by which I mean the tone and style changes through the years.

Just finished watching the pilot. It's trippy as hell and sometimes the plot left me wondering whether certain characters and events were solely in David's head. Still, I really, really enjoyed the pilot and I really appreciated the fact that things were revealed to the viewers as they're revealed to David.
Overall, I'm interested to see where things go from here. If only it was on Netflix so I can binge the whole season...

I just finished watching the first episode. So far I like it better than the other Marvel shows.

Yes, the Netflix shows are good but I don't feel I have to watch them.
I still haven't finished Daredevil Season 2 and I haven't started Luke Cage yet.
Legion just fits the type of show I find interesting.
Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre Adventure

Interesting. I love Si Spurrior's X-Men Legacy, so if that's what the show is based on, that would be awesome. And Fargo is an awesome show, so all the better.
Both are being produced by Marvel as well, so that should stamp down any "Marvel hates Fox and is deliberately killing the X-Men" rumors.
