The Gifted, Season 2

[Immortal Weapon]

Can't believe Lauren still gave the scientists the sample when the scientist told her they were actually working on a 'cure' for all Mutants! As far as I'm concerned she's more evil than the supposed bad guys of the Hellfire Club now.

She conflicted now. She obviously doesn't want to be apart of the mutant "cure" but she does want to help her father. Saying she evil is unfair.

The Polaris flashbacks were cool.

[Sammael]

Just saw the latest, such a good show.

The Gifted > Supergirl > Black Lightning > Flash

Pretty much. The great thing about The Gifted is that as much as it would seem like things are black-and-white --- mutants against humans, humans against mutants --- the reality, such as it is, is that there are many shades of gray to this conflict, some darker than others. Of course, that doesn't mean there isn't such a thing as objective good or objective bad, just that it's harder to discern sometimes, especially when none of the choices you have are necessarily good choices.

I'm really hoping to see Magneto at some point in the show

[Kirby101]

So the M Underground is going to overlook killing 35 people if she can help.

Makes them no better.

[The Cool Thatguy]

So the M Underground is going to overlook killing 5 people if she can help.

Makes them no better.

She killed a lot more than 5, but in fairness, they weren't in any position to really stop her.

Dropped the 3. 35. They aren't just not stopping her, they are asking her to join with them.

As a means to an end. She's the only significant progress they made on the inner circle since going to DC.

Another episode of not saying "Magneto" but using a bazillion other pronouns and I might check out.

[Iron Fist]

This was a brilliant episode, it really pushed consequences from twisty crazy's behaviour and did such a great job of character studying Lorna and Magneto by proxy.

The downside with this episode, as is with every episode is that the Struckers and the mutant underground are god damn boring. If you're going to tease Fenris then don't do it and then keep them seperate the entire time. I feel like they need to give thunderbird and blink some interesting things to do because they're just doing nothing, or they're only do reactive stuff and never being proactive and it makes them such a bore to watch.

At this point I'd be happy if Gifted just because a Inner Circle show, that's where all the cool interesting stuff is going down. Getting to watch them set up and build Genosha would be a great show direction, not watching the same 4 mutants react to every mutant hate crime.

Awww, she's conflicted about her support of literal genocide. Guess that makes it all ok!

It's not that black and white. Reed could potentially die if he doesn't get his treatment. What we seen from the University there are several mutants with destructive powers they can't control. It's important to note that the "cure" isn't designed to kill anyone so genocide is way off. There's is swimming in grey and curious where it leads.

In a way, it's still genocide because you're taking a distinguishing trait that identifies a specific grouping or subgrouping of people and targeting everyone who has that trait to be forcibly assimilated into regular human society by having that trait removed or suppressed. Fits the UN (United Nations) definition of genocide, from what I remember of it. It's not just outright systematic mass murder of a particular group or subgroup of people that counts as genocide, but also forced assimilation, and what else do you call it when your apparent solution to the problems mutants face in society is to simply make them not mutants anymore? Granted, there are a lot of mutants who would either be happier or at least safer without their powers, though in light of what that guy said to Lauren about eventually "offering" this so-called treatment to all mutants, who wants to bet that "offer" won't exactly be something mutants can just turn down if they feel fine as they are?

[Elden]

Oh it is.

Reed could potentially die if he doesn't get his treatment.

And the entire mutant race will die if he does.

The 'cure' being forced on all mutants the second the bigoted government forces get their hands on it is inevitable.
