It’s easy for superhero TV shows to fall by the wayside due to their flashier, more expensive movie cousins. That doesn’t sound like the case with The Gifted, though. The X-Men spin-off has hit the ground running and, you guessed it, it’s better than *shudder* The Inhumans.
The internet love being negative Nellies when it comes to fresh, new properties so it’s nice to see the vast majority share in their love for a new show. Here are the best reactions – all caps or otherwise – to Fox’s The Gifted.
The Gifted vs. The Inhumans: who wins?
THE GIFTED IS FUCKING AMAZING WOW ENDED EVERY SUPERHERO SHOW3 October 2017
So far, I'm totally enjoying #TheGifted premiere tonight way more than the #Inhumans premiere last week. 📺 #fox #abc #marvel pic.twitter.com/xRx0ysGf163 October 2017
#TheInhumans Bad #TheGifted Good...3 October 2017
It even brought the feels *sniff*
I cannot believe how good this is, the uncontrollable emotion is bringing me back to Erik's origin in the first X-Men movie. #TheGifted pic.twitter.com/wpZWTJTPbz3 October 2017
#TheGifted So that was pretty good. Strong debut. Performances were sometimes a mixed bag, but mostly good. Characters had emotions.3 October 2017
And a couple of neat Easter eggs (including Stan Lee!)
#TheGifted love that X-men ring tone , you just scored a lot of points in my book pic.twitter.com/3p5voOWabM3 October 2017
And we have a Stan Lee sighting. #TheGifted3 October 2017
Ready for next week?
Wow. Not bad at all. Cant wait till next week. #TheGifted pic.twitter.com/TMgmPCDomj3 October 2017
I have a new super hero show to binge watch now #TheGifted ! Love the premiere tonight 😀3 October 2017
In fact, everyone was pretty impressed...
Yeah a lot of story was packed into one episode but it was still a hella awesome debut episode. #TheGifted3 October 2017
#TheGifted , Legion, Deadpool, Logan and one recent film with a mixed response. But keep acting like Fox is doing a bad job with franchise.3 October 2017
The fact that #TheGifted is a pretty great X-Men show without any actual X-Men is a huge win all by itself.3 October 2017
...though there's ALWAYS one
#TheGifted is so boring 1/5 at most3 October 2017
Oh, and Amy Acker is in it. As if you needed another reason to watch.
I have the best tv family:) So lucky to get to act with @stephenmoyer. He's funny, super intelligent, kind, and just an all around great guy. #thegifted @TheGiftedonFOX3 October 2017
A Stan Lee cameo, an all-round great ensemble (though not as many characters as the new Twitter update), and an engaging story in the X-Men-verse. What are you waiting for? Go watch!
