Gobbeldygook posted:I still have faith that they are going to explicitly explain the cow. The season is building towards a huge denunciation and possibly a revelation that reality has been fundamentally not as it seems. My pet theory remains that David unconsciously put the cow there, created the delusion birds, and more of this season's weirdness. I wonder if Farouk was right that he was a "gift" since he inevitably goes insane anyway according to the comic backstory. He was keeping him sane for 30 years then he starts to lose it with the personalities right after he leaves, indicated by him talking to himself at Divison 3.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:He's the only person on Earth who might be able to stand up to David. They spent almost the entire season establishing that. I don't get why the shadow king is so scary if he got brutally owned by Professor X in like 2 seconds and fell into his dinner. Maybe they should go get Professor X instead.

The show seems to have gotten itself into trouble trying to frame ethical dilemmas using fake ill-defined superpowers. He spent like 2 hours doing some fake mental drill thing to a guy and he's Eichmann? I just don't find it that interesting or convincing. Also last season there's a scene where Syd saw all those dead soldiers in the ground at division 3 and nodded her head approvingly. Now she's supposed to be concerned about it. It's like they're writing a different show now.

What was the Persian word Farouk kept calling David? Sounded like "juneim" if that helps. From the context I'm guessing it was just like when a southerner calls you "son" or "boy" so not that important but still curious.

Barreft posted:Did anyone go back and watch the full ending? I haven't but I just felt like Farouk wasn't really there, just a projection. But if they mentioned him being there guess there goes that. He physically reacts to the explosion but doesn't get blown back, just sort of braces himself. The weird thing about Farouk making the comment about David being "undone by revenge" is that he spent 30 years hoping to get back at his enemy (Professor X) by loving with his kid's head. Kind of hard to take the stated motivations in the show seriously. night slime fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Jun 15, 2018 |

Doorknob Slobber posted:the more i think about it the more it seems that david also put the delusion birds in other peoples' head as well considering he was working with farouk against fukuyama for the first part of the season, so david killed ptonomy also After seeing the finale, it seems like David and Syd see their dead bodies in the desert tent to signify their relationship dying in the desert. David even says "nothing good" when Syd asks what happened to "them/us" in the desert. My guess for the rewind entering the tent is that both timelines are being shown, i.e. the first and second trips to the desert.

Emerson Cod posted:Am I the only person who heard Vermilion at the end of the credits song saying that none of this is real? We never got any resolution to Amy dreaming that she was Vermilion, I think that a big chunk of this season or possibly all of it is part of some sort of simulation. Plus we had that flashback at the beginning saying that this was Chapter 10 again, 3 years later. I'm not saying that none of the events count, but there is a lot of evidence that what we've seen isn't what's actually happened. The only voice I'm hearing in the credits is male.

Second time travel scene of David leading Switch through the hallway kinda reminded me of the first season with the escape from Division 3. Kind of messed up that David takes like 30 seconds to kill the Division 3 guy capturing Switch. https://twitter.com/legionfx/status/1143354499957850113 I won one.

I don't think Fukyama can die but he did seem to not enjoy what he was doing from what I can remember of his dialogue from last season. They seem to find David on the monitor as soon as Ptonomy takes over so maybe he was made the successor, if his brain can do something Fukyama's can't. David's last memory of Division 3 would be about the creepy basket head guys trying to kill him so it makes sense he would make the pamphlet stuff about that.

Didn'y Cary say "wait I built this"; which makes me think it was built by the Cary that's at David's cult, sent back in time by switch to, change David somehow? Or maybe bring past David to meet with current David. Isn't Professor X involved with the Shi'iar or something? They could still bring it up.

Navid Negahban (Farouk) was in Aladdin so maybe he'll be getting bigger roles soon. He also seems like a down to earth guy on Instagram. I kinda wish the DVDs has Hawley commentary cause there seems to be a lot of stuff he could explain away about the series.

ShakeZula posted:The big house is all a mental construct/inside Gabrielle's mind, right? That was the distinct impression I got, but baby David actually being there for Farouk to possess complicates that. In the real world did she have a baby in the mental hospital and then go catatonic again after the events of this episode, leading Xavier to give David up? Xavier usually has a big house or mansion or whatever in his depictions. The strange door she saw out front was the time travel door. My guess is Farouk started loving with the bedroom walls and the baby's face to make her catatonic, since it's red when she screams, the same red recurrent throughout the series and also the red Xavier sees. David stepped in and finished his work for him by accident. Then she's probably dead/catatonic and I'm guessing he gives David up from depression or something. Pretty sure that was Switch's dad on the TV. Maybe he has time travel powers too. If you listen to what he's saying he sounds like he's giving some sort of warning about something coming.

hatelull posted:It's been a minute, but don't we get a glimpse of an older "Charles" in the first season complete with wheelchair as seen from young David's perspective? At that point he's already been hijacked by Farouk and dealing with World's Angriest Boy trauma. Is that the point where Charles turns him over to foster parents? No, I think you just see the wheelchair in that scene with David talking to himself while stuck in a box. I thought the rippling for Professor X's telepathy was interesting because he's obviously more powerful than both Farouk and David in that respect, and that visual effect being from just his mind seems cool in that context. The episode seems to imply David caused himself to be put up for adoption, and also showed the way time travel works for the show. Those seem like story progression/reveals. night slime fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Jul 9, 2019 |

I think the idea of toying with character origins is cool but I do remember always being more interested in New X-Men at the time. I remember thinking the Ultimate Millar comics were supposed to be satire because Captain America was such an rear end in a top hat, then I read about Mark Millar as an adult and apparently it was sincere.

I liked the hospital episode a lot. I rewatched the first episode to look for parallels and noticed some interesting ones. There were obvious ones like cherry pie, sketching, etc, but there was this scene I didn't even remember where David is wheeled around in a catatonic state after taking his medicine. The audio begins distorting and his eyes are slits, then Syd comes into view and he jumps out of his chair, mirroring how Gabrielle suddenly is at the window after being "healed" by Charles. Some other subtle ones are the scene with Charles and Gabrielle looking out the window, similar to the one where Syd and David do the kissing illusion thing. They both use their powers to get out of the hospital, with David's "escape" being accidental and tragic from killing someone, while Xavier's is intentional and relatively benign. David is in the mental hospital because he attempted suicide, while Xavier is in it because he made a person commit suicide, and I think "kill yourself" is thought by both characters in dialogue. Gabrielle is in the hospital and has "no one" because of the concentration camps, while Syd is loosely in a similar predicament because of her isolating mutant power. By the end of each episode, someone else's powers have assisted David "kill" someone by accident. Lenny is killed by the Syd body switch and only continues to exist as a consciousness, and Gabrielle is catatonic now from Switch traveling in time. Both Charles and David are arguably better off before they decide to go off to meet other mutants, maybe David less clearly so.

In the time travel episode a guy appears on the TV that looks similar to Switch's dad but younger and he says "bedtime is here" in between a bunch of ominious foreboding stuff about doors and something (Farouk?) being underneath a pillow.

scary ghost dog posted:for what its worth i cant think of any examples of toxic masculinity displayed by david......hes very sensitive and emotional. not a lot of alpha posturing from this broken boy. i dont think hes worried at all about his perceived manliness I don't know that it's toxic masculinity per se, but when he goes into the spiels about "fixing" everything it's somewhat reminiscent of a domestic abuser saying they'll change after an assault and essentially forgoing responsibility. Maybe that is what people are homing in on.

rapeface posted:Those "exceptional conditions" don't exist in a vacuum, you cannot look at them outside of a deliberate construction. And there's nothing that suggests that David believes his actions aren't affecting a real world. Even If he did think that, what's the purpose behind such a construction? He tells both Syd and Switch that it doesn't matter he killed people since he gets a do-over. Kinda more than "nothing to suggest" I think.

I don't know what the point of David's sister was. Also it's kinda weird since if that weapon can reproduce someone from their DNA (he takes a piece of the Lenny corpse from the grave to do it) that why doesn't Farouk just sacrifice some random stranger and clone himself so he can stop David. I take the cave to be some sort of place that they trapped evil mutants in, like the crazy Legion version of the Raft since it's some desolate place that makes everyone (the monks) go insane from being near it and has other weird properties. The monk makes a reference to agreeing to take the body of Farouk and it being a mistake. The Minotaur had some sort of power-dampening thing that Melanie Farouk removes. I'm guessing the Minotaur did some bad poo poo and Professor X or someone alley-ooped him into the cave next to Farouk. Melanie Farouk also addresses him in Farsi, so it's possible the two even knew each other in their previous lives. DaveKap posted:In a way, it's brilliant. The show has exploited the viewer in the same way David may have exploited Syd. That's some solid immersion! In another way, that's how you lose enough viewers to have to cut your show down to a 3-season stint. (Was it always supposed to be 3 seasons? I actually don't know.) I don't think FX really cares about ratings that much. They have stuff like The Americans that never gets many people watching it and it goes on for multiple seasons because they know it's good. I think I read an interview with Hawley where he said it was more a nice creative sandbox place than working at the parent network with Bones. I guess that's how you get Chris Rock for something like Fargo where the audience hovers around 1 million.
