The mutants of The Gifted are on their own, free to chose a path toward peace or vengeance, or find something messier in between.Marvel Entertainment and FOX have released four The Gifted character posters, highlighting the four characters from Marvel comics that appear in the series. One of the most interesting things about The Gifted is that it takes place in a world where, for some reason, the X-Men are gone, and so are their enemies.

There's no telling which way things will go over the next few episodes, but it'll likely surprise, much like the first season did. The series stars an ensemble cast featuring Korapat Kirdpan (Nanon), Wachirawit Ruangwiwat (Chimon), Harit Cheewagaroon (Sing), Ramida Jiranorraphat (Jane), Atthaphan Phunsawat (Gun), Pattadon Janngeon (Fiat), and Napasorn Weerayuttvilai (Puimek) reprising their roles, joined by Nattawat. Each faction redraws its boundaries, and the rosters shift in drastic ways. The Gifted: Graduation is a 2020 Thai television series which serves as a sequel to The Gifted (2018). In its second season premiere, The Gifted moves on to portray people who have made up their mind and hardened their positions for better and for worse, as the world becomes more dangerous around them. It's a sci-fi thriller, with twists and betrayals and characters just compelling enough to care about. The Gifted is not a terribly subtle show, but the comics that inspire it aren't either-and despite laying out its politics plainly, it isn't preachy. Because it's hard to conduct yourself unimpeachably in the face of hatred, and yet the world expects no less. What The Gifted does is update that slightly, using its framing of a white upper middle-class family suddenly finding itself forced to give a shit about brown people mutants to tell stories about how inaction fuels bigotry, and the difficulties marginalized people have when their right to their very existence is a subject of debate. It was a bit clumsy then and it's clumsy now, but that loose metaphor was powerful enough to endure and connect with all manner of marginalized people. Stephen Moyer and Amy Acker star as Reed and Caitlin Strucker, ordinary parents who take their family on the run after they discover their children's mutant abilities.

When they were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the '60s, it was easy to ascribe the central premise of the comic-mutants born with strange abilities fighting to protect those who hate and fear them-as a shorthand for the civil rights struggles. This is a breakdown detailing how one of a total of 9 character pieces were created for Foxs new show The Gifted. The first season, consisting of thirteen episodes, began airing on October 2, 2017. The elevator pitch for the X-Men is that they are all, very openly, a metaphor.

The show followed the Stryker family, a comfortable, WASPy family of four where the dad had a good government job tracking down dangerous mutants and the mom was a nurse, but then oh no, their kids are mutants! And now they must go on the run! But it was all a ruse and a trick: that vanilla-as-hell premise was just there to lure the unsuspecting and naive into watching a show that is extremely into X-Men stuff, but more importantly, is into figuring out how X-Men stuff works today, in 2018. The Gifted was one of last year's best bait-and-switches: A show based on X-Men comics that seemed kind of embarrassed by X-Men comics, diluting them to craft a family drama that seemed indistinguishable from any number of network shows.
