Jemaine Clement is from New Zealand, and the X-Men have a long history with Australia, so it could be one of those.

According to this http://www.atlasofwonders.com/2017/01/legion-filming-locations.html "Legion was also shot on location at the BlueShore Financial Environmental Learning Centre from the Cheakamus Centre. This amazing eco-friendly high-tech building is a rural campus of the North Vancouver Outdoor School." I'm guessing it isn't a Wright House, but, it is pretty sweet. The retro future 60s era X-Men is pretty sexy.

She stars as herself which is really all that needs to be said. Actually liked that show, had a sweet tone (not too sweet) that you don't see often. Didn't get around to watching the whole season tho.

The entire point of the show is to confuse you in terms of time and place. There's a 70s aesthetic but then you see tablets, they are driving on the right side of the car but also the right side of the road. I assumed they are in the US but you can't really even assume that, the whole point is to just make you feel displaced, like David is.

Out of curiosity I looked up the Legion entry on Wikipedia to learn more about the character and the second sentence in the intro paragraph covers this. I won't say more than that but I don't think it ruined anything for me after completing the first season without previously knowing anything about the character. It'll be interesting where things go in the second season

Is it possible that Aubrey Plaza and Jemaine Clement just rode off into the sunset? Or is the next season going to be the team going after Oliver in addition to dealing with the ball thingie?

Further confusing things, he took off in a Nissan President, a luxury sedan generally only available in Japan and SE Asia from 1965-2010. So much geo-chronological confusion in one little sequence, it's amazing.

At the very least Melanie is going to want to look for Oliver and you assume David would feel some responsibility for SK being out there in him. Plus I assume the show runners want to keep Plaza on board after the strong response to her performance. My guess is they won't be a main part of the show all season but will pop back up mid way through the season or so. You know, after they deal with that whole Pokemon thing.

McSpanky posted:I thought that was an intentional subversion, the Eye was an amoral attack dog and the fact that he had powers was kinda immaterial to that, that just made him more useful to his superiors. Meanwhile his working partner who doesn't have powers is a family man who believes in the cause and can be swayed by reason, despite being flash-fried by his enemies. Just finished the season and I have to say the 10 minutes of his origin story was perhaps the greatest entrance for a baddy\gray-character I have ever seen. It humanized him completely.

Stop me if this conversation happened already but what year do you think this show takes place in? Every time I ask or search, the answer is either "it's supposed to be ambiguous," "it doesn't matter, we're just seeing it through David's crazy eyes," or "the 80s." Yet David's sister asks if she can e-mail her husband, which places it in the late 90s at a minimum. What do you folks think?

I forgot Apocalypse was set a bit in the past, I just meant I think it's near future, definitely before Logan where all the mutants are extinct or whatever. I'm not sure how much the Marvel TV series tie into the canon of the movies, traditionally they haven't linked them too much, remember agents of whatever being dismissed as a dead man's dream. Longbaugh01 posted:None of them connect because everything X-Men related is not in the MCU. Oh yeah gently caress, completely forgot. I mean at least the Logan movie is sorta based on the Marvel comic, so it might have relevance? They have so many alternate futures though, it probably doesn't matter. Either way, it still seems pretty near-future to me, but the points everyone else raised about it just supposed to make you feel lost etc are all very probably true also. curse of flubber fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Apr 12, 2017 |

Yeah, the X-Men franchise is a weird thing because it started back during the last "era" of comic films before "continuity" and "shared universes" became a thing but they've kept it going where the movies are all connected but none of their continuity makes sense because that was never the plan. So my take on whether Legion connects to the films and where is basically "I don't know, who loving cares?" And I kind of wonder if the ambiguity in the show's time or place is at least meant to tell you not to give a gently caress.

Don't get me wrong, the movies generally have enough to worry about without tying in the shows, but they're not completely written off.

The Hydra flip was timed to Cap 2's release, Fury supposedly gets the extra hover carrier for the Ultron ending from events in the show. At least one character (Sif) has been in the movies, in the show, then back in the movies. One of the backdrops for a MCU Netflix show is a greedy developer taking advantage of the parts of NYC leveled during Avengers 1. I think I may have read an article a while ago that could have misinterpreted Joss Whedon joking about Agents of Shield being a fever dream right before the captain dude's death.

It's not uncommon, someone higher than Joss (I wanna say Kevin Feig?) is super-opposed to Coulson coming back into the movies. To tie it back to the show, I made the mistake of looking at imdb after the first episode, and I'm really glad that it lied to me about episode counts. I was trying to remember what other marvel property the Interrogator was in (Fantastic 4, Dr. Doom's assistant), it had episode counts for several major characters. He was listed in 1, so I was certain he was dead. Aubrey Plaza was listed in 3 episodes, so I genuinely thought she'd fade away after her death at Clockwerks.

Just for the record, I'm not asking where Legion lies in the "universe" of X-Men or MCU or whatever. It's already been stated that the show is its own standalone thing, unrelated to what anyone else is doing, even if Patty Stew wants to get in on it. I just merely wanted to know what year it's supposed to take place in so I could set my expectations as to what kinds of technology are supposed to exist. The last thing a story as good as Legion needs is an accidental deus ex machina by literal machina that we didn't know existed because we were being hidden from what year it is. That said, apparently the whole thing was written for modern day 2017, while the aesthetic choices came later, so I think I'll just stick with that. Which means Gemaine's actually been iced for 50 years, not 20. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Apr 13, 2017 |

Bit of a tangent, but the show Leverage did a DB Cooper episode. I was reading the show runner's blog, apparently the costume department found photos from the event and made the flight attendant's uniforms from scratch based on them, down to the white boots.

Word on the street is that it's entirely Ike Perlmutter being a petty douche. Keep in mind, though, that Perlmutter makes a convenient fall guy for anyone and anything because if you're even halfway familiar with what goes on behind the scenes at Marvel, your reflexive response to hearing that name is most likely "gently caress IKE PERLMUTTER."

The producers are deliberately skewing through a few aesthetics, like it's a deliberate choice to muddle up the "when" based on those sort of context clues. Someone posted an article upthread. Would it be massively different if they'd said "Can't use normie cell phones only spacephones, or D3 will track them" versus just never bringing one up? Yeah, the "when" or "where" don't really matter at all outside of some vague similarities. What matters is that it worked to make a really cool, visually satisfying setting for this show to take place in.
