He still posts on CBR.

I'm not really surprised by the poll. I may love Polaris, I may be glad she has a live action depiction and that she's the popular break-out star from it, but Gifted has a lot of problems. Both in terms of marketing and writing. It basically feels like Heroes only with a greatly accelerated decline from its initial promise.

I don't really expect it to last past one more season. It'd take people on the show having learned a great deal from first season mistakes that I don't think they care to learn.

I wonder if Pheggy refuses to join bc I stole his username?

Also the complaints abt this show seem a lil baseless like didn't it enjoy good ratings? My understanding was critics and general public thought it was good enough but comics nerds hate it bc theyre little bitches.

I'd like to believe that, but I haven't seen anything out of what they've put online to suggest they're putting effort into seeing what worked, what caused problems, and how to move forward from there. I expect Polaris/Emma Dumont will get more story and screen time, but that alone wouldn't be enough.

I expect it'll have very high ratings, probably its best, in the first one or two episodes of season 2. Then I expect it to drop. Summer will spread more word which will lead to new viewers, and it'll also have people expecting big positive changes because the show had a whole summer to sort itself. But then when people see it hasn't changed in positive ways and it actually slips further, viewership will drop.

That's all speculation of course. I could be very wrong.

You finally said something I agreed with and then you ruined it.

whats the cut
