FX/Marvel: Legion

[B]

From Wikipedia:

He takes the role of an antihero and has a severe mental illness, including a form of dissociative identity disorder, with each of his personas controlling one of his many superpowers.

Ability to absorb a person's psyche into his as an alternate personality and manifest their superhuman abilities when they are dominant.

I'm cautiously excited about this as Legion (as portrayed in his X-Men Legacy run) is one of my absolute favourite characters. I am very dis appointed that they did not retain his scottish-ness. I always read his dialogue in my head with a hearty brogue.

This bit here, sounds more like Rogue's powers.

So is this part of the MCU? Part of the X-Men Movie Universe? What's going on here?

FX is doing it, so not part of MCU. But I don't think they plan on him being Xavier's son either.

Are you sure? It DOES have the big "X" in the logo.

[doone]

Nope, not sure at all, just passing on what I've read.

[stip]

I read it will be part of the XCU

[VinylGuy]

fuck cinematic universes...like real hard. I hate them.

[stip]

Comc books are one of the places where they make sense - coming as they are from massively serialized source material

[doone]

Tonight! I hope they don't fuck it up too bad.

Bad enough he's not Scottish.

[bada]

I assumed this would be a pass but the commercials have me curious. I'll give it a shot.

[Monkey_Driven]

This is getting rave reviews. I loved what this guy did with Fargo so I am very interested in this.

[jwfocker]

Definitely going to give this a chance. Fargo is about as good as it gets.

[doone]

I've got to watch episode 1 again but I'm intrigued. thoughts?

[bodysnatcher]

so is this basically the x-men version of Freaky Friday?

[doone]

I don't think so. I'm not sure what was with the body switching but hopefully that's done with.

[wease]

Does he have pyrokinetic powers in this?

[Peeps]

holy fuckballs....

[doone]

Does he have pyrokinetic powers in this?

He should. Comic book Legion has lots of various powers he can call on.

Spoiler: show

depending on which personality he's using

[wease]

That's why I asked.
