The teaser was lukewarm, but the trailer is all fire. Fox's The Gifted official trailer is here!

Hello friends. I think we might have jumped the proverbial gun with our initial reaction to the teaser for the latest addition to the X-Men Singerverse, The Gifted, because the full trailer has got some wow factor. OK. More than some. 

Wow, I tell ya. Intrigue, mutant abilities and actual references to both the X-Men and the brotherhood! There's no doubt this is set in the Singerverse and it's not necesraaily a bad thing. I quite like when shows connect to the films and work to build a larger and richer universe. That is unlike some other mutant shows, and you know the one I mean. I'm looking at you, Legion. All in all, I'm definitely going to give The Gifted a watch. How about you?
