Today, let's talk about the American drama "The Talented Season 1".
Title The Gifted Season 1 / Gifted / X-men: The Gifted / Marvel Action-Adventure Series (2017), alias Talented Bingyi / X-Men: Godsend.
According to the main plot of the "X-Men" movie, the mutants were wiped out by the Sentinel robots of Tasker Industries, and the mutants seemed to be brought to a pot.
The story of the American TV series "The Talented" takes place after the disappearance of the X-Men, and the remaining mutants are like mice crossing the street. They need to live under people's strange vision and discrimination, and they will be taught to behave by the weapons of Tasker Industries if they are not careful.
Mutants can only constantly suppress their superpowers and try to find a living space in the cracks.
The main reason I watch this show is to watch "Sister Root" Amy Acker.
Sister Gen is full of beauty in the whole drama in "Suspect Tracking". Joining "The Talented" this time has greatly improved the appearance of the show.
And "The Talented" is a group drama, with a large group of characters each taking on a part of their own role, and there is no particularly obvious protagonist. Sister Gen's role is also limited to a human wife and human mother.
The show is inspired by the comic book "X-Factor" by Peter David. In the comics, mutants form an agency to investigate mutant-related incidents.
Like their forebears, the mutants in The Gifted are divided into moderates and radicals.
Since he has unparalleled superpowers, why should he be coerced by weak chickens and human beings, looking at people's faces everywhere. Some mutants began to fight violently with their superpowers, while others began to help their own kind.
The attitude of the human side is similar to the previous one. Some humans sympathize with mutants, while others fear and hate mutants. Tasker Industries regards this as an opportunity to make a fortune.
The mutants were created to speak for minority groups. When Western political correctness became the mainstream, it seems that the ideas of mutants won.
As long as the genes mutate, there will always be new human beings who are different from ordinary people.
Accepting new things and building a harmonious home together is the right way. Blindly suppressing emerging forces will only hurt both sides.
The first season of "The Talented" is like boiling a frog in warm water, slowly heating up the contradiction between humans and mutants until the contradiction is intensified and irreconcilable.
The biggest development of this season's plot is the complete division within the mutants, with the moderates and the radicals going their separate ways. They were like Dr. X and Magneto back then, but their superpowers were weakened a lot, so they couldn't make waves. Of course, it is mainly a matter of production costs. It is too expensive to produce large-scale special effects...
There are 13 episodes in the first season of "The Talented". In order to push the plot to the division of the mutant camp, a lot of tearing plots that are common in American TV dramas are added in the middle.
Common family conflicts, misunderstandings and contradictions between fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, stumblings between lovers, and villains from time to time make trouble, constitute the main content of the entire first season.
The screenwriter uses a convenient way to tell the story, and sometimes I even think that it is no problem to replace the mutant elements in the play and turn it into a passionate tear on American campuses.
Therefore, what supports me after watching is not the plot nor the performance, but the appearance.
Check out some tidbits from this season.
Every episode of "The Gifted" has a capital X in the title of season one, and a capital M in the title of season two.
The original plan for this series was to shoot four seasons, and the titles of the third and fourth seasons would capitalize E and N to form "XMEN".
It's just that the show is gone for two seasons...
The popular character Polaris in the play has been confirmed to be the daughter of Magneto, and this play is also the first live-action appearance of Polaris.
Polaris is the third child of Magneto in the X-Men after Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.
But we won't see Polaris appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe right now, because Polaris' copyright belongs to 20th Century Fox.
The show also mentions that Polaris' father was the "king" in the Hellfire Club. It can be imagined that Magneto used to manage the Hellfire Club, which was later changed to the Brotherhood of Mutants.
In the first episode, the ringtone of the glowing black Eclipse was the theme song for the TV series X-Men.
Eclipse is an original character on the show who shares the same name as Sunspot from Age X. Both of them use solar energy as their own energy source.
John Proudstar/Thunderbird, another stalwart on the show, first appeared in Big Mac X-Men #1 in 1975, and died shortly after.
His younger brother James Proudstar inherited his legacy.
In the comics, Andreas Von Strucker and Andrea Von Strucker are Hydra leader Wolfgang von Strucker (Baron Von Strucker) a pair of children.
Wolfgang von Strucker has worked in Captain America: The Winter Soldie (2014) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) appeared in.
This is a small linkage between the show and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the comics, Dreamer is referred to as the "Beautiful Dreamer", she is the leader of the Morlock Group and is able to influence people's memories through their dreams.
This is the second live-action appearance of Blink, who was last played by Fan BB in X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).
Stepford Cuckoos is an important character in this play, and I will introduce it in detail here.
The shadowy cuckoo is a mutant, also known as the cuckoo sisters, cuckoo five sisters, cuckoo three sisters, formerly known as Celeste, Esme, Sophie, Phoebe in the comics (Phoebe), McGrady (Mindee), alias Three-in-One, formerly Five-in-One, of which Esme and Sophie are deceased.
The Cuckoo Sisters are egg cell clones of Emma Frost/White Queen, their creators trying to use their super psychic energy to kill all mutants.
Cuckoo sisters can create unique psychic energy-sensing connections, and can combine their respective telepathic abilities to form a powerful super brain in an instant; they can use their telepathic abilities to read other people's thoughts, change other people's cognition, manipulate The mind and body of others, protecting the target from telepathic attacks, etc.; the closer the cuckoo sisters are, the stronger their ability to bond. They can also use other superpowers to enhance their abilities.
The five sisters in the comics can be spelled SPICE (Sophie, Phoebe, Irma, Celeste and Esme), which means "spice".
This is the first live-action starring of the cuckoo sisters. In the first season, three appeared. Celeste and Tracy were arranged to be absent. The remaining three can be spelled ESP (Esme, Sophie and Phoebe), which means "super Sensory perception", which corresponds to the superpowers of the three sisters.
The old man made a cameo in the play.
Producer Matt Nix said the cameo by X-Men creator Stan Lee was purely accidental. At that time, the old man was attending a comic convention in Dallas, and he stopped by for a cameo scene. This shot took only 20 minutes to complete.
In this shot, Stan Lee plays a customer leaving the X Bar, his first appearance on an X-Men TV series.
The drug used by Tasker Industries to control mutants in the play is called "Kick".
In the comics, the drug can greatly increase the strength and aggression of mutants.
Seeing the fate of the race on the surface,
In fact, parents are short.
