Beautiful is that Emma Frost by her? Or... Esme..?

[Soulsword323]

Pretty sure that's Esme.

I'm here for their team-up if it is what happens

[Havok83]

Honestly that looks more like teen Jean to me

He must be doing a new piece for Gifted's S2:

That was not lost on me, either.

I like how Lorna's eyes are smaller or more like "animalistic" and Esme's are more wide and almost like, "suave"

They have such a cool contrast in terms of Lorna the more like aggressive dark one Esme the more sociable light

Even if in some ways their moral cores are the opposite

Fandomverse store getting set up. They consider Lorna's second appearance noteworthy among their collection to highlight for social media. May be just cause of the cover, but the owner actively labeled it as second appearance.

Polaris 💚 @emmadumont Gifted Season 2 (tomorrow)... night! 👊 by Marcio Hum

As some already know, Polaris got 11 votes in the informal, for fun Twitter reply poll done by JDW.



That's a better performance than I expected for Lorna given constraints I've noted before (need to have a Twitter account, need to know about it within time frame, can only choose one, hope it's not lost in replies, etc). Hence why it's fun rather than some kind of serious guide for policy. If it were treated like a guide though, I think it would be making a strong case for a Lorna solo, mini, oneshot or at least leading a team. She beat Longshot, Legion, Bishop, Mystique, Domino, Shatterstar and many others, and she tied with Havok who's been given endless leader roles.

I had a brief moment of concern with "Havok before Polaris," but then I looked closer at the list and saw it's alphabetical when two characters have the same number of votes.

EDIT: One thing worth noting though is that with this list, ties end up ranked numerically by who comes first in the alphabet. If going the route of people who tied sharing a number, Lorna would be tied for #23.

Emma interview by Fox 5 Atlanta.

The interviewer says a comment about her character being crazy popular a certain place. Emma says towards the end of the interview "in China of all places people love Lorna" referencing the million plus fans there.



Obviously, they are not comic book buyers, but these things do matter in regards to the character in the MCU and the decisions that are made as it is a global market place now as they are potential movie watchers. That her comic book buying fan base on her 50th anniversary isn't what it was even 12 years ago can't be changed without the kind of effort she hasn't gotten consistently since pre-HoM.

Polaris in episode 3 with dying baby.

And, now episode 4 picture



It looks like she isn't having fun with this crisis.

Anyway, interview on timelines, universes and comics.

Another possibility is Alex Summers/Havok (Lucas Till), who has a relationship with Lorna Dane/Polaris in the comics, with Redford revealing: "They shoot MacGyver [starring Lucas Till] here in the same city, so we don't have time…"

"Yeah, we really just can't have them," Dumont said. "Also, Alex and Lorna were a horrible couple. They were very bad for each other!

"I mean, if it were up to us, and if we didn't have contractual things and legal whatever blah blah blah franchise nonsense? I'd want Magneto in the show. We want the X-Men."

As for where The Gifted may fit in the X-Men timeline, Dumont mused: "Well, I will say… yeah. I mean, the movies don't even align – let's be honest.

"Sometimes, the comics don't align at all. It's totally different. What I will say, we could fit… well, we have many Sentinels. Obviously it'd be before the future part of Days [of Future Past]."

Lmao at her comment on [RETRACTED]/Lorna. She really sees them for what they are.
