This show won a lot of good will with me when they introduced the Cuckoos and other stuff from the end of last season, but this season is just losing me. Cool Lorna made her headdress, but I don't care about Jace starting his Friekorps, the Inner Circle "big plan" is just dragging on, and I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Mutant Cure plots. Also Reeve just thinks everyone is just going to do what she says becuase, uh reasons? Like what did she think Rebecca was going to do after she locked her in a rave cell? And Andy was just gonna go "yep, this girl i have a boner for, I'm not going to be upset at that at all". God I hope she is killed this season. Though still, I hope this ends with Human genocide, because gently caress them in this world. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Jan 13, 2019 |

 Mutant underground. I was hoping they would finally merge the remainder with the Morlocks so they could condense the plotlines a bit, but I guess that isn't happening.I'm glad Bubbles beat up Wobbles in their dream battle.

Lauren is going full Von Strucker now and her mom is accidently encouraging it.

I know that most people are not going to notice or care, but Carsten Norgaard keeps getting cast as a german, and now he is one on this show too. Danish and german accents do not sound the same hollywood

I can't believe we're actually at the end of the season now. Felt like almost nothing happened in the back half of this season. Killing off all the leaders of the Mutant Underground off scene? I feel like a broken record complaining about the lack of budget on this show but seriously you couldn't show that. Give us a scene of these new mutants using their powers to do more than charge up a bat. Also, did we really need to blow a bunch of the effects budget on a getaway scene from the cops? Finally, it's revealed the Morlock Leader is essentially being blackmailed into attending...WHAT? Why are you making the protagonist faction into assholes? Also the bad guys are now a government conspiracy? Please stop loving around, show.

The season is 15 episodes, so there are still 3 unaired. Not quite the end of the season yet.

I would say that's likely, but then again it's also a marvel show now owned by Disney, so it's probably not quite as cut and dry as the ratings.

Oh that's true, I totally spaced on the fact Disney will own it soon. They've forced ABC to renew SHIELD with even worse ratings. They might not own it in time to step in though. Edit: Also they might not want a show set in the continuity they're likely destroying. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Jan 16, 2019 |

It was reported yesterday that the deal is likely to close in March. What it DID do was kill a bunch of film projects. https://www.google.com/amp/s/comicbook.com/marvel/amp/2019/01/14/disney-fox-merger-all-marvel-projects-scrapped-xmen-fantastic-four/ But I'm not sure if TV will end up following the same thought processes or not.

Something that struck me about this episode is how this show must make the actors feel real stupid when filming. Lots of characters just kind of waving their arms around and poor Skyler Samuels having to constantly pretend to be reacting to herself.

There's a gif floating around somewhere with the Avengers pre blue screen and it makes me laugh every single time. Skyler does a pretty decent job of showing which one is Esme when they're all together. One part when they were talking, two were standing confidently and the third was fidgeting looking uncomfortable.

We'll find out later it was all a ruse for the Inner Circle to think it destroyed the Underground and really those were cadavers they blew up. Also, I'm sure they're saving up their budget for the final episode where Dad Von Strucker finally loses control and melts a skyscraper or something.

I'm usually the last person to notice when a show starts to cheap out on special effects because they ran out of budget, but I'm kinda pissed that they had a mutant who could turn into a dragon and instead of getting about to see a loving dragon!! they just had the cast drop half a dozen lines about all her sweet af dragon powers and then killed her off screen.

I think I missed an episode but I certainly don't care enough to find the one i'm missing. This one wasn't bad though, Mom not bitching at bubbles for clearly trying to kill the SS was pretty refreshing. Though I still think they need to kill Reeva and combine the inner circle and mutant underground and just have the antagonists be Purifiers. Though I doubt this show gets a 3rd season. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Jan 22, 2019 |

Lots of characters just kind of waving their arms around and poor Skyler Samuels having to constantly pretend to be reacting to herself. To me the worst part of acting in it must be the actual dialogues, everyone is always angry at each other and is like feeling offended that they didn't get told the minute details of things. -My friends, we need to fill our 'We need to fill our quota of "Why didn't you tell me?" "I'm telling you now" for this episode'. -I know, let's make another flashback to someone's childhood and how it's an anecdote to something that can escalate to the biggest war possible. Every two individuals in this show are constantly threatening or arguing with each other regardless of their position. This only hasn't been true with Lauren and her mother in the past few episodes because they decided to pull a 180 with Amy Acker's character so she isn't literally just "constantly worried on-screen person" and is now cool mom bonding with daughter which is a downright upgrade. Stephen Moyer has been groaning in pain for 12 episodes now.

Imagine being 49, having had an entire career behind you (whether you consider it a good one or not, although now that I think about it I guess "not" makes this even sadder) and then the sum total of your role in a season two of a show is groaning in pain, looking weary, and then in the rare moments where you get to talk, complaining about anyone who's doing anything to help you. "Be grateful we're spending our budget in your glowy useless rear end arm or else you'd be axed, human."

My favorite thing about the last episode was John's "generic gritty superhero attack against all odds and grind out a way to win" thing getting so soundly rejected by everyone else since it's pretty much the default way everything ends in the entire genre. qirex fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Jan 22, 2019 |

qirex posted:I actually laughed out loud at this part because the sum totality of her character is "MUST PROTECT FAMILY" so then her daughter protects the family, even if it's attempted murder of police via throwing glowy bubble discs, so she approves without thinking about the implications. She's probably the most consistently written character on the show since she's so one note. Blink is going to end up as an uber driver for a bunch of agoraphobics.

So why doesn't Bubbles just sleep during the day? Wobbles can't be sleeping 24/7 waiting for her. I'm still enjoying that having a gun is the best mutant power. Kaitlyn and Not-Gambit certainly seem to agree.

Very running in place episode. For groups that are supposed to be very separate we're seeing way too much going back and forth while has undermined the whole idea of a split in the first place. Looking back a year ago, when they announced Season two we were teased that we'd get the story behind 7/15 and why the X-Men are absent but so far we haven't really had anything moving towards that direction and at this point it's probably too little too late to get people to care about the show. There isn't even really a clear direction for what the show is doing right now. It felt like season one was following the Strucker family in order to introduce the Underground and establish them and then later the Inner Circle. This season has been spinning it's wheels as the Inner Circle does stuff that the audience doesn't even get to see, while the focus seems to be on the characters dealing with things that as an audience member I just don't care about. There was some good character arcs for Polaris and Wobbles but otherwise we've devoted a lot of time to things that feel like they're never going to pay off or by the time they do will just be glossed over for something else. The dynamic between John and the Dragon Lawyer was a good example of this, as it felt like there was going to be more to the story between them but then nope she's dead.

So right now my current pet theory is that Bubbles and Wobbles are actually clones of their ancestors because there was that bundle of hair in the music box and also this show is stupid enough to do something like that.
