Greetings, movie and series lovers! 🎥 *¡Saludos, amantes del cine y las series! 🎥* Created with Canva Pro. Image source Hello everyone, I hope you're doing great. On this occasion, I want to share a new review with you. I'm going to talk a bit about an awesome series I saw a while ago, and which I absolutely loved, called: The Gifted. I know what you're thinking: "Ugh, another superhero series!"... it's a show tha…More
No soy muy fanática de las series de superhéroes porque a diferencia de las películas los efectos visuales tienden a ser deprimentes y la verdad es que no importa lo que vea, siempre quiero que al menos esté bien hecho, sin embargo de vez en cuando les doy una oportunidad esperando que me sorprendan, y aunque no suelen hacerlo The Gifted lo hizo, me gusta aunque a veces pierde ritmo y audacia en su trama. The Gifted…More
I knew from the moment that Disney acquired Fox that this show will be cancelled. It was inevitable. The mutants are leaving the Underground and going to the MCU. I have a feeling that the showrunners also new this as this episode brings closer to our story. Sure, it leaves an opening for another season, but it also feels like you don't really need it. We already know how it is going to go and what will happen. It d…More
Well this episode was great. I guess I am more into emotional plots rather than action, because this episode was pretty great in my opinion. The Strucker family arc really got to me. Lauren, Reed and Andy all had difficult choices to make. To face their powers, to face their inner demons and who are they afraid to be. The episode did a great job moving their arc forward. Except Kate. She still feels like the mom wit…More
Well, I thought that the episode should have great, but it just ok. Sure, the stakes are higher, but not for most of the characters I care about. I just don't know the Morlocks enough to care about what happens to them. Or about the concept of their society. We got to know them a little, but I just don't feel invested in them like I do in the Mutant Underground. The back story of the Inner Circle and the Purifiers w…More
[!Spoiler Alert! Beware!] The Gifted Kills Off Two Major Characters Now wasn't this quite the shock? Things are definitely heating up in the war between the Inner Circle and the remnants of the Mutant Underground. Or perhaps I should say slaughter, because as far as the conflict is concerned, the Mutant Underground hasn't struck a single blow. Everything is going wrong. Worse still, no one knows the exact details of…More
The plot just keeps getting more and more interesting. Lauren and Andy's bond seems fascinating. How interlinked are they? How does it work? What will happen? For how long Reed and Lauren can resist the temptation of great power that runs in their family? How can the past influence the future? Andy is just boring. He is a pawn that is easily manipulated by the Frost triplets. But Lauren and Reed are interesting. Thi…More
This was a great episode. Really. Where was this all season long? The plot thickens doesn't even cover it. The underground is facing worse odds than ever, as the inner circle only grows in strength. We learn more about Blink's tragic childhood and upbringing. These memories influence her decisions now. Decisions that are really brave in the face of the fact that John can't seem to let go of the flight no matter the…More
Best episode of the season and probably the show by far. Not because the action was amazing, but because the script is actually good – meaning the plot is great in this episode and also promises more great episodes. So many new mysteries that would have been great even if the show was not about mutants. I don't want to give anything away, but the ending of the episode left me with my mouth hanging open, so many twis…More
Ok, I liked this episode. Mainly because the action was really good. I love good mutant action that doesn't seem like it suffers from a low budget. Also, it was fun seeing all of the group together, even if it is just temporary. Mutants working together is fun to watch and not all of them fighting each other. When it comes to characters I actually liked Andy in this episode. It's so easy to fall into your old self,…More
[Spoilers Ahead!] With another great episode, The Gifted seems to be finally getting better. This is probably due to the fact that the stretched out storylines are now getting to a head, and that the current conflicts between the characters make us care about them more. Even Ugg got more depth when we realised that his entire beef with humans only got to the current level after he was betrayed by his human girlfrien…More
[Spoiler Alert!!! Beware!] So far, this has been the most interesting episode this season. I'm not entirely sure why, but somehow, the tensions and conflict between characters was much more relatable. I found I actually cared. Or maybe it's the growing mystery of the music box. Really, what is it??? Why does it call to persons with the Von Strucker blood, and what does it do to them? What did Lauren mean about not b…More
This episode is something special. By that I mean that everyone in it are acting like special idiots. How stupid can Andy be? What did he think was going to happen? What did Thunderbird think was going to happened? Seriously, by now he should have realized that there are too few mutants left in the Underground and in his little group to make any difference. Also, what did he think he was going to accomplish by actin…More
Well, that escalated quickly. I knew this was coming, I totally saw it coming, but it did not make any less shocking. By "it" I am referring to the ending of this episode that makes you forget about anything else. Sure it had some interesting moments. Reed dealing or failing to deal with his new powers. Blink slowly coming to the realization that perhaps the Mutant Underground has lost its purpose, its goal, its peo…More
After this episode I just don't know how I feel about the show. It should have been an interesting episode, but I found myself pausing a lot during the episode just to do other stuff because it wasn't interesting enough to hold my attention for about 45 minutes. In theory there were interesting moments in this episode. We got to learn about the harsh upbringing of the Frost sisters, and their story should be heartbr…More
Ok, so this was a filler episode. It don't mean that it was a bad episode, but at the end of the day when you think about it. Nothing actually happened in this episode, it just dealt with the consequences of the previous episode. The Mutant Underground has to deal with the problem that the Inner Circle has created in the previous episode. Blink is the one who steps up and I have a feeling that her role will become b…More
This episode is served as evidence that this show can be good when it wants to be. I mean really good. I got some feels in this episode. The moment you take the baby out of the equation, things really look up. Except for Kate Strucker, I still don't like her character. All of her actions are focused around being a mom and a wife. We have no idea who she is outside of these roles and that makes her character boring a…More
The show continues to move between pretty good and pretty bad. At times it’s so bad it’s literally funny. You know what I’m talking about, the baby plot line vs. the inner circle grand plan. The baby plot line is awful. Seriously, why is it even necessary? Giving us Eclipse’s family history doesn’t make this plot line any better or any more interesting. Polaris’ cold behavior makes no sense, but this is where I blam…More
This episode was definitely an improvement from the season premier. I think that was weighing down the show is everything that has to do with Dawn, Polaris’s baby. First of all, it is so clearly a doll every time Polaris holds it up. And a cheap one. Second of all, the actress who plays Polaris, Emma Dumont, seems to lack in the acting department. She just fails to convey the motherly emotions or the physical exhaus…More
Everyone is in a bad place. And following the killing of the Doctor and the Senator by Polaris in last season's finale, things are worse than ever not just for the underground, but for mutants everywhere. Enter Reeva Paige. The episode begins with the usual flashback scene with the leaders of the Hellfire club in a meeting. Except they're _not_ the Hellfire Club as we'd previously thought, but something founded by i…More
What a not great start for a season. I had high hopes after the ending of the previous season which promised so many great conflicts, script and personal issues. However, the plot just feels so incoherent and ridicules at times in this episode, that I couldn’t help but feel a sharp contrast. Even though we can see that it’s been months since the end of the previous season, not everyone is acting like it. I could hav…More
Season finale episode. What an ending it is. It seems that it is mostly setting up the next season, so it’s really good that there will be a next season. Otherwise this would have been a very disappointing episode. It is by no means a bad episode, but it surly doesn’t feel like a complete resolution for the plot of the season. Still, it is the climax of all of the season with a showdown between the mutant undergroun…More
Nothing like a brush with death to make people change their mind. There are now three players on the board: Sentinel services, the mutant underground and the hellfire club. Despite the fact that the mutant underground and the hellfire club may have some overlapping needs, it is an overlap that will probably not last in the long run. In the end, I think they will end up on a collision course. A pretty serious collisi…More
Well, that escalated quickly. In this episode things have pretty much reached a tipping point with Trask industries, sentinel services and the mutant underground. Trask industries finally got what they wanted, and that will probably show up later on in some horrific way. We still don’t know how, or what was their goal all along, but I guess we will find out. Probably in season 2. Sentinel services in a way, finally…More
Talk about a cliffhanger. Well, actually the entire episode was super tense. Apparently, the new addition to the team is not necessarily a good one. As the season progress, it really does become all about the Strucker family. Their bad and good side. This is not about with great power comes great responsibility, this is about with great power you can do a lot of harm to others, and maybe you just shouldn’t use your…More
Oh boy. What an episode. I just had my mind blown. I really don't want to spoiler anything, but this just hit Game of Thrones level of WTF. And now to a more solid review hopefully. In this episode the Mutant Underground tries to find a solution for a new threat that sentinel services has created along with Trask Industries. The threat is significant and has the entire mutant underground worried. In this episode Ecl…More
Every time I have some spare time, this is the show that I come back to. Even though some of the characters are annoying and act like teenagers when they don’t look like it, I still really enjoy the universe that the show has built. Also, this show is all about consequences and this episode was full of them. Mainly, for Eclipse and Jace Turner. Both Eclipse and Turner made some pretty hard decisions in the last few…More
Yes, I am officially onboard “the gifted” train. I really like it. This episode we got to see Thunderbird’s background story. Well, we got a glimpse of it and it was really interesting. We also got to see him use his powers in cool new ways, so awesome. It was fascinating to see how slowly the world escalated. You also can’t help but feel that some of things we see are totally relevant to our own world. As is usuall…More
This show has really grown on me. Despite clearly being low budget, the vey x-men themes that it brings up are really interesting. The interesting conflicts are shown best in this episode. How far is too far when it comes to defending yourself. Is what Polaris and Dreamer wrong? Or a necessary evil? Is there such thing as a necessary evil? These conflicts are what make mutants so interesting. That and their cool pow…More
This episode was full of action and flashbacks. It was so fun that it passed in a heartbeat. We learned more about the background stories of Eclipse and Polaris, and even Thunderbird. So, Eclipse and Polaris got the cheesy part, which was only good because it was nice to see them use their powers for fun. Thunderbird got the more touching and hard backstory. The saga with Sage, Thunderbird and Blink feels really unn…More
The Gifted is another one in line of Marvel's superhero shows that follows an alternate reality where X-Men disappeared. In a world without X-Men, the mutants are left fighting against stronger and stronger government anti-mutant agencies meant to eradicate them. Story in this TV Shows follows a Strucker family whose kids, once they revealed they are mutants were very soon discovered by the anti mutant organization…More
This episode was a good one. Yet somehow this show doesn’t really make we want to binge watch all the episodes I missed. It touches on difficult themes very effectively, but also in a way that curbed my enthusiasm about the next episode. The beginning of the episode provided the only fun scene of the episode. Polaris and Eclipse discussing what they did with their powers when they first discovered them. Obviously, y…More
Things are blowing up! (Late Review: this episode aired on 11th December) The last mission was a fiasco. Four mutants of the Underground (Andy, Lauren, Clarice and Sonya) have been captured by Sentinel Services. The rest are visibly upset. Tempers are blown. And no one knows what to do. With her best friend captured, Lorna is all for attacking the lab at once, backed by Esme the psychic, who's still clamoring for he…More
Hello guys ready for another series review? off we go then Today it's time to bring light into Marvel's shows. A couple of days ago we went for a trip into the Dark side with Inhumans a series that was a complete failure for both Marvel and for us. Don't worry i think with The Gifted they balanced it somehow. The Gifted is undoubtedly one of the best series Marvel made this far and below i will explain why. General…More
The mutants of the underground deal with the fallout of last episode, as the Strucker children come into their new abilities. After the death of Arthur Strucker, Pulse, and the unnamed, but brethren, heart breaking speedster used as a spy, the leaders of the underground are riled. Nevertheless, they try to retain a level head in determining the next step to take. Esme, on the ther hand, being the telepath who got th…More
And the Stakes Just Got Higher...! .jpg) It's a very emotional episode typical of The Gifted, but this time, we get to see exactly what Dr. Campbell and his team are capable of up close, and it's all downright horrifying. And Reed makes an important discovery, which might just be the key to everything about his family and Dr. Campbell's relentless efforts to find them. .jpg) After Reed discovers Trask Industries' in…More
.jpg) After weeks of direct confrontation with Sentinel Services, this week focuses more on personal convictions, and how far people will go to get what they really want. Following last week's cliffhanger, Marcos is called by Carmen, his old flame and current leader of the Cartel to collect on their deal. Although reluctant, he agrees and leaves the mutant underground headquarters on the guise of going to get suppli…More
This episode was directed by Len Wiseman. He also directed Underworld and Total Recall . Not the best movies, but movies none the less and it shows. Despite some claims that I’ve heard that the show looks like it was made on a small budget I certainly don’t so. It may not be Game of Thrones production level, but it’s still pretty impressive and doesn’t make me think – cheap. Especially the special effects on Blink.…More
A Battle is all about Relationships .jpg) The excitement continues. As more and more refugees come to the Mutant Underground, the focus moves to finding out how exactly Sentinel services has managed to turn mutants against each other, especially John's friend, Pulse, while exploring the theme of relationships. Still rankled about Dreamer's memory implant, Clairce confronts John, apparently now deeply in love with hi…More
Hoje a Fox vai exibir o quarto episodio intitulado “ Exit Strategy – Saída estratégica ” da nova série para tv, “ The Gifted ”, baseada no universo mutante da Marvel Comics . Eu sempre vou agradecer a Fox e Brian Singer por, de certa forma, ter iniciado a era dos super heróis nos cinemas com o filme X-Men de 2000 . No entanto, eu nunca me senti satisfeito com os mutantes no cinema, e eu prometi para mim mesmo que nã…More
Battle, battle, battle! .jpg) This week, The Gifted went into full blown action mode! No exploring of social themes, no sending of subtle messages, nothing! Just a continuous show of abilities and incredibly tense action sequences, between the Mutant Underground and Sentinel Services. Exciting from the first second to the very last! Most impressively, The Gifted is doing a great job of being well-balanced in all its…More
Today Fox will release the fourth episode of the new mutants TV show “ The Gifted ”, called “ Exit Strategy ”. I always will thanks Fox and Brian Singer for “ in a way ” start the super heroes era back in 2000 with X-Men the movie . However I never felt pleased with the mutants at theaters, and I promised myself not to talk about Fantastic Four anymore. So… after point set my thoughts, maybe, and just maybe, F…More
con los primeros dos caps de esta nueva serie de marvel/fox podemos ver que en fox se están tomando mas enserio a los mutantes , tendencia que viene en aumento desde deadpool y logan , sabemos que la historia se desarrolla en l linea de días del futuro pasado , pero aquí los centinelas aun no comienzan su masacre contra mutantes he humanos , sin embargo la tensión entre mutantes y humanos esta en un punto álgido y n…More
One of our heroes might just be a supervillain. This week’s episode of The Gifted rode on a theme of ‘doing stupid things for the ones you love’, as characters made decisions with long-lasting ramifications to protect their families, friends, and lovers. Beginning with a heart-touching scene in which Lorna/Polaris and Marcus/Eclipse fell in love and created an aurora borealis around themselves through the interactio…More
At last a comic book TV series that delivered on its promise. Although it is very hard to go wrong with mutants. IMDB’s synopsis states: “A suburban family is forced to go on the run when the children are discovered to possess mutant powers.” Unlike Marvel’s Inhuman’s , The Gifted doesn’t look cheap. At least in their premiere episode. This episode did have a semi-movie quality to it, helped by the fact that it was…More
