Just Watched Legion

Despite only one episode everyone is praising the hell out of this show and saying that this could be the best Marvel series ever. Personally I think it's good, not great. I mean I don't usually go for thought provoking shows like this but because it's Marvel so I obviously had to give it a try and it does get a little hard to grasp onto. For me I'm more into the Basic type of superhero shows in which the character dresses up or and goes out to fight bad guys. Clearly this one doesn't do that and that's OK. I get that this is one of those thought provoking shows with a lot of talking and stuff I don't understand and I usually avoid those but I liked what I watched but not loved and I will probably tune into the next episode but it's not like I'm gonna be counting down the days and while people are saying this maybe the best Marvel series I'm still thinking the Netflix shows are better. At least just Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Luke Cage is good too. Heck despite being a little tongue in cheek The Flash tv series is probably better though time will tell when more episodes arrive. I don't know if some people might think I'm dumb for saying all that because I know people would rather watch tv shows that have a lot of talking and not much action but I prefer an even balance though I do like a little action but I can't expect this show to go as far as the movies did and to be fair most of the time I was watching it I was looking out for a reference to Professor X but there wasn't any. I guess that'll come later. I gotta say I wasn't really that excited to see this show because despite my love of the X-Men movies (mostly First Class & Days of Future Past & technically Deadpool) why would I be excited about a show centered a Marvel character that anyone hardly knows. Like I said before I'm more into the Marvel Series' from the MCU especially with How their building up to the Defenders with their shows the same way they built up to The Avengers with their movies.

I've watched the first two episodes and I'm enjoying it so far. I think I know what's going to happen but mostly because I'm already aware of David's place in the X-Men continuity. I also think it's a good idea for him to have his own series as incorporating him in to the movies effectively would be absolutely impossible.

Iron Fist is out soon too so that'll certainly satisfy cravings for more action-orientated TV!
