Sorry, FX's Legion Won't Feature Your Favorite X-Men Characters (Yet)
By Kaitlin Thomas

From horror and espionage to Westerns and biker dramas, FX has nearly done it all as a network, but there are still a few genres the network has yet to explore. In February, the network will check off at least one more box when it moves into the comic book arena with Legion, a new drama series based in the world of the X-Men.
Created by Fargo's Noah Hawley, the eight-episode series focuses on the Marvel character David Haller (Dan Stevens), who in comic lore is the son of Professor Charles Xavier and Gabrielle Haller. When we first meet David, he's been institutionalized and told he has a mental illness, but by the end of the first episode, he discovers that he isn't schizophrenic but actually has powers. The show will use this reveal to play into the familiar themes of the X-Men, which have traditionally focused on the same issues plaguing minority groups or those labeled outsiders by their peers.
The series is also a chance to bring the X-Men to television and mine some of the characters the film franchise hasn't and will not be using. But the series will also not be directly adapting anything from the Legion comic books, which are not particularly well known.
"I wanted to approach [the show] the way I approached Fargo, which is to say with nothing but respect, but also understanding there were stories that readers and fans were familiar with," said creator Noah Hawley at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. "I'm a fan of all the comics and the story lines in them, but for my purposes, there was a story I wanted to tell that I thought would be great using this template."
"One approach would be to take issues 113 through 120 and say that's Season 1," he continued. "I felt what was more interesting to me was to take the concept of this character on some level and then use his subjective reality ... to create something that is a little more of a fable or a parable ... in order to create something unexpected."
One thing that fans can expect, however, is for Legion to dig deep into the battle of perception versus reality as David attempts to reconcile this world-shattering news with everything he thought he knew about his life.
"The stories [of the X-Men] are always about them finding their power both literally and as people, and so if you have these characters who have all been defined one way by society, then it felt interesting to me to make the show about that transition," said Hawley. "It's the same for all the characters: this idea that their power was metaphorical to what their issues were."
Although the development of the series has largely been cloaked in secrecy (come on, it's a Marvel project), Hawley promised that everything will be revealed in time. And to that effect, the cast is already dropping exciting tidbits about their characters.
For instance, Jean Smart, who plays a character named Melanie Bird, revealed that her husband will be played by Flight of the Conchords' Jemaine Clement. Meanwhile, Bill Irwin and Amber Midthunder's characters combine as a being, but separate when there is a job to be done.

THE OATH AGAINST MODERNISM
Given by His Holiness St. Pius X September 1, 1910.
To be sworn to by all clergy, pastors, confessors, preachers, religious superiors, and professors in philosophical-theological seminaries.
I . . . . firmly embrace and accept each and every definition that has been set forth and declared by the unerring teaching authority of the Church, especially those principal truths which are directly opposed to the errors of this day. And first of all, I profess that God, the origin and end of all things, can be known with certainty by the natural light of reason from the created world (see Rom. 1:19), that is, from the visible works of creation, as a cause from its effects, and that, therefore, his existence can also be demonstrated: Secondly, I accept and acknowledge the external proofs of revelation, that is, divine acts and especially miracles and prophecies as the surest signs of the divine origin of the Christian religion and I hold that these same proofs are well adapted to the understanding of all eras and all men, even of this time. Thirdly, I believe with equally firm faith that the Church, the guardian and teacher of the revealed word, was personally instituted by the real and historical Christ when he lived among us, and that the Church was built upon Peter, the prince of the apostolic hierarchy, and his successors for the duration of time. Fourthly, I sincerely hold that the doctrine of faith was handed down to us from the apostles through the orthodox Fathers in exactly the same meaning and always in the same purport. Therefore, I entirely reject the heretical' misrepresentation that dogmas evolve and change from one meaning to another different from the one which the Church held previously. I also condemn every error according to which, in place of the divine deposit which has been given to the spouse of Christ to be carefully guarded by her, there is put a philosophical figment or product of a human conscience that has gradually been developed by human effort and will continue to develop indefinitely. Fifthly, I hold with certainty and sincerely confess that faith is not a blind sentiment of religion welling up from the depths of the subconscious under the impulse of the heart and the motion of a will trained to morality; but faith is a genuine assent of the intellect to truth received by hearing from an external source. By this assent, because of the authority of the supremely truthful God, we believe to be true that which has been revealed and attested to by a personal God, our creator and lord.
Furthermore, with due reverence, I submit and adhere with my whole heart to the condemnations, declarations, and all the prescripts contained in the encyclical Pascendi and in the decree Lamentabili, especially those concerning what is known as the history of dogmas. I also reject the error of those who say that the faith held by the Church can contradict history, and that Catholic dogmas, in the sense in which they are now understood, are irreconcilable with a more realistic view of the origins of the Christian religion. I also condemn and reject the opinion of those who say that a well-educated Christian assumes a dual personality-that of a believer and at the same time of a historian, as if it were permissible for a historian to hold things that contradict the faith of the believer, or to establish premises which, provided there be no direct denial of dogmas, would lead to the conclusion that dogmas are either false or doubtful. Likewise, I reject that method of judging and interpreting Sacred Scripture which, departing from the tradition of the Church, the analogy of faith, and the norms of the Apostolic See, embraces the misrepresentations of the rationalists and with no prudence or restraint adopts textual criticism as the one and supreme norm. Furthermore, I reject the opinion of those who hold that a professor lecturing or writing on a historico-theological subject should first put aside any preconceived opinion about the supernatural origin of Catholic tradition or about the divine promise of help to preserve all revealed truth forever; and that they should then interpret the writings of each of the Fathers solely by scientific principles, excluding all sacred authority, and with the same liberty of judgment that is common in the investigation of all ordinary historical documents.
Finally, I declare that I am completely opposed to the error of the modernists who hold that there is nothing divine in sacred tradition; or what is far worse, say that there is, but in a pantheistic sense, with the result that there would remain nothing but this plain simple fact-one to be put on a par with the ordinary facts of history-the fact, namely, that a group of men by their own labor, skill, and talent have continued through subsequent ages a school begun by Christ and his apostles. I firmly hold, then, and shall hold to my dying breath the belief of the Fathers in the charism of truth, which certainly is, was, and always will be in the succession of the episcopacy from the apostles. The purpose of this is, then, not that dogma may be tailored according to what seems better and more suited to the culture of each age; rather, that the absolute and immutable truth preached by the apostles from the beginning may never be believed to be different, may never be understood in any other way.
I promise that I shall keep all these articles faithfully, entirely, and sincerely, and guard them inviolate, in no way deviating from them in teaching or in any way in word or in writing. Thus I promise, this I swear, so help me God. . .
