The Mistress of Magnetism: LORNA DANE POLARIS Appreciation

[Magnetic]

I like it too, did a great rendition of the actors! Interesting to see artwork popping up already for this shows actors and it isn't even airing yet.

Plenty of clips today and parallels to real world issues. Mutant control in full force by an aggressively intrusive and tyrannical government, stripping away liberties in the name of keeping normal people safe.

I'm also liking what I'm hearing from the actors, especially Emma Dumont on Polaris. She surprises me with her description of the character, almost sounds like a Polaris fan.

It will be interesting once the dust settles to see how the leaders move forward, assuming Polaris and Thunderbird are the thought leaders of the movement.

I would say she qualifies as a fan, she has certainly gotten into the character and her background and her enthusiasm is infectious. I just hope she has gotten in her comic reading out of Lorna's middle years and into the better ones.

That's nice to see!! Who knows, she may have stumbled upon this thread in her online research!

Perhaps you never know. One of the best interviews of the cast SDCC I felt was the one below with important questions asked and answered. For Lorna it starts around 3:35.

Emma giving a little scoop there about Magneto was good. I had that question if he would feature, so she answered that by saying she doesn't know who her father is. It's a little weird to hear her name Polaris spoken out loud in these interviews. Makes it real and truly incredible Polaris character gets to be featured on this show.

I never thought I would see this day. It's almost surreal. All the House Of M on film and in LIVE ACTION.

Just got around to reading the description of the footage shown at Comic Con, and continue to love what I'm seeing. I think the writers have done a fabulous job at understanding Lorna's character. Can't wait to see how she evolves and what direction they take her.

This is such a great situation for Princess Lorna..the exposure..a nice upcoming actress who is very ingrained into the character and the obvious progression of just how far she may have to go

Hah! Thank you! I will say from direct personal experience, she was the most excited person of the cast. I said, "I see you rocking the green!" And she got so excited and into it. Everyone else was just sitting there signing.

The more I see, hear and learn about Emma Dumont, the more impressed I am by her. Lorna-specific, I feel like Emma's the first person doing anything official that actually GETS her. Everyone else seems to only grasp her from limited, often outdated angles. Outside Lorna, Emma seems like one of the most dynamic, multifaceted and curious celebrities I'm aware of. I feel a little apprehensive about saying this when I haven't even seen the full pilot yet, but I think we're incredibly lucky to have her playing Lorna.

Thanks for sharing your experience with her, and I'm glad you got the chance to have it.

YES - she's one of us! Well, ya know... in some of our more idiosyncratic ways, I would say, lol. And I agree wholeheartedly, with EVERYthing Salarta muses about her. Thank you VERY much for sharing, Gifted, it was MUCH appreciated & I think you did X-fans REAL proud - you made us look good!

Just wanted to add quickly, I think the WHOLE cast is X-cellent, and the more I see of ALL of them... the more engaging I find each of them! Feel TRULY blessed, that Polaris was picked to be part of it. 💚

6 Exciting Announcements You May Have Missed at Comic-Con 2017

I can totally understand if you're not fully onboard with Bryan Singer's The Gifted, the Fox series that's linked to the X-Men Cinematic Universe. While no actual X-Men appear in the clip, we get a deep story about a family, one where the father is a mutant hunter who finds out his children are mutants. The battle to keep his kids safe, while also dealing with a rogue batch of mutants, looks intense. Polaris is one to watch, although truth be told, the effects on the powers definitely stand out here. This looks like it'll end up being more about the relationship with the family than anything, but maybe that's what the sometime-y X-Men series needs.

I am loving everything I see so far besides the lack of full green hair. Like Psylocke and Blink, I don't know why they are only giving minor highlights. Lorna's full green colored hair is crucial to her mutation and character.

Maybe it's still fully developing and she'll have full green hair by the end but still. Otherwise I am thrilled and hope she gets more exposure after this show.

Her hair has over double the green of a month ago and they are just starting filming episode 2 now.



I am giving them a some time to to build up to full green hair which I fully expect will come and dealing with the parentage issue which I expect to be developed though it won't be as easy logistically as slowly dyeing her hair.

As long as they are taking steps moving towards things I don't have much an issue and they are making ones very quickly at least in the hair department.

Some other areas I don't know we will have to see over the first few episodes. Anyway SDCC recaps keep coming in from big comic and genre sites.

I also do have to admit that this extended trailer that dropped at SDCC this year has piqued my interest a lot more than before. Most of the main characters are made specifically for the show.

There are three known characters from the actual comics and Polaris or Lorna Dane is a very well-known X-Men character. I'm not sure if the show is going to go the route of the Magneto connection as Lorna is Magneto's daughter in the comics.

The character first appeared in X-Men #49 and fully revealed her powers in X-Men #50. She has the same powers of magnetism as her infamous father, and Lorna long suspected that she was the biological daughter of Master of Magnetism.

That was finally confirmed in Uncanny X-Men #431. A definite recurring hitch about the character is that she struggles with mental instability, and I wonder if actor Emma Dumont as Polaris in The Gifted will depict any of that.
