The Gifted
The cast ofThe Giftedsays even more nods to previousX - Menmedia and characters are on their means as the show continues . With the shadow ofLegion ’s achiever hang over it and the failure ofInhumans , The Giftedcould have fail either agency when it premier last week . as luck would have it , the show is off to a strong beginning , with fans and critic gibe that it ’s a sport show with voltage . It ’s also establish to have plenty of tie to the source material — even if it does n’t connect to the movies — and that likely wo n’t be changing .
The first installment ofThe Giftedfeatureda number of Easter eggs and referencesto the comedian , movies , andX - Mencartoons . Since then , even more nods have make out to light . For one , a character we met was a mutant from the comics thatwe did n’t even lie with about . Then there were graphic symbol like Polaris , Blink , Thunderbird , andShatterwho were all tear right from the page . And of course , Stan Lee made an appearance . As the show moves forward , it looks like these connections will bear on .
The cast ofThe Giftedopened up at New York Comic Con this weekend about the show ’s future consumption of Easter eggs . In reaction to a question about Stan Lee ’s cameo , doer Sean Teale ( Eclipse ) had this to say :
" Yeah , I mean , this show ’s going to adhere to it a lot . You ’ve already generate the Texas Lounge and we have a lot of fun piddling bits - there was a wolverine in the setting . That ’s what this show is about is those short thingumabob and those fun niggling nods to other matter . That - not appeases the fans , but we want to know that we ’re think about them . "
The wolverine picture behind Eclipse ’s head in the measure is one of many nods to the character seed throughout . Like the return of the letter ' x ' in the pilot , there are plenty of nods that suggest the show may take place in the same timeline asLogan . After all , something terrible has happened to the go - Men and mutant - kind . Coby Bell , who plays Agent Turner in the serial , also noted that showrunner Matt Nix is including all of these nods thanks to his love of the informant material .
" And Matt [ Nix ] has such respect for the mythology and he ’s done some serious life - long research and he ’s bring it all to the show now . "
With Polaris said to beflyingandlearning she ’s Magneto ’s daughteras the season carry on , it ’s clear that Nix and the mind behind the show are n’t afraid to pull heavily from the comics . And if they ’re that well-fixed with the traits of the main characters , it ’s not arduous to think more little nods and Easter eggs popping up in each novel episode .
