Alchopwn Posted May 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I don't know if anyone else is interested but I have been concerned that since the big Disney buy-out of Marvel and the 2 year moratorium that killed all the Marvel shows on Netflix that the excellent show "Legion" was also getting chopped. Apparently not. Legion is returning on FX Networks on June 24th 2019. I am a huge fan of the show and this news has made my day. I am actually more excited about this than GoT's last episode next week. While I have enjoyed other superhero shows, Legion is the best of them imo. If you haven't watched it, I recommend it highly.

Piney Posted May 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The X-Men series suffered so many paradigm shifts that I see any movie or series as just another alternate universe. I liked what they did with Legion here. If I remember right in the comic his father just wheeled him around as a anti-mutant weapon after Professor X cooked his brain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TV show hasn't even touched on Professor X yet. I am sure it isn't Marvel canon, but I am no expert. I spent my teens reading Vertigo and Dark Horse. I fully admit my ignorance of the better part of the Marvel universe, but my friends think this has helped me enjoy the movies more as I have no preconceptions. Needless to say they have loads of preconceptions and frequently get a bit annoyed by the movies. So who knows? Perhaps this is the season where Prof X cooks poor David's brain? If so, you just spoilered me Piney, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a X-Men fan mainly because of Forge. The only Native superhero that wasn't a stereotypical joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked Forge up. I can see the appeal; he really isn't a stereotype at all. Not too often you see a Native American superhero without a bow and a tomahawk (mores the pity), let alone one who is a supergenius level technologist. Hats off to Marvel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am impressed. If you hadn't have told me I wouldn't have known, and I normally clue into things like that pretty quickly even in writing style. So... let's apply the best diagnostic methodology presently available... how many hours a day do you play minecraft? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love working on farm or sawmill machinery, building "hot rodded" chainsaws and rather be outdoors. My writing style comes from a private English Quaker education so I'm a "hard read". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, if I ever need a high powered chainsaw I'll definitely ask you about it. As to getting a Quaker education, should I read that as tho you were educated in England? I don't know much about the Quaker education system, so this is something of a first for me. How was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Wearer of Hats Posted May 16, 2019 #11 Share Posted May 16, 2019 That Aubrey Plaza woman's very easy on the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is also one of the more gifted comedians I have come across recently. She has a gift for awkward humor. I recommend watching some of her interviews, as the way she takes seemingly innocuous comments from interviewers and turns them into bizarre episodes that leave you laughing hard, well, I'm a fan. Aubrey's a lot more than a pretty face. Here is a sampler: AP Colbert Interview - Catwoman AP Conan - Traumatic Musical number More Aubrey being awkward.

Alchopwn Posted August 27, 2019 Author #13 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) So, who has finished watching Legion? Ep 10 of Season 3 is all we get, and to be fair, it did a very respectable job of wrapping up the show imo. I would like to hear what people thought tho. Feel free to disagree with me. There's no discussion if there is no difference of opinion. I would ask that you employ the spoiler icon (eye icon) if you want to discuss specifics, as there are bound to be readers who don't want surprises spoiled for them.
