Agree with you on the former point, though I really like the actor they did end up going with. Disagree on power though, the live action stuff is consistently lower scale than comics, and generally I'd say this is a good thing, for a lot of reasons, but when it comes to his character specifically it brings a lot to it if he can actually be hurt and potentially killed by people like the Purifiers, but still puts himself at the front anyways because he can take more than anyone else. It also puts him in the position where his decision not to kill people is meaningful, and his conflict on it makes sense, because he's not powerful enough sometimes win the day without killing. The more reasonably scaled takes we can get on comic characters the better IMO, as long as they're still strong enough to serve their narrative role (like Superman should be strong enough normal militaries can't threaten him), I think the weakest you can make them while fulfilling that the better, it creates so much more room for doing more with them.

Yes, but there is more to it then that, not all enhanced humans have the same abilities, some dont have enhanced senses. Thats like saying superman and martian manhunter are aliens, but they have complety diffrent powers or power level
The amazing way they showed him in the gifted was what got me into reading any comic with warpath in it. I hope the mcu incorporates Warpath or thunderbird . I really miss this show though😟
@@stopthecap3768 that was before man. Warpath used to be stronger like the thing and huge as fuck like colossus or juggernaut, he was a heavyweight and faster than them.

A main character in this series, John Proudstar/Thunderbird died shortly after his first appearance in "Giant-Size X-Men" #1 in 1975. His legacy continued with his younger brother X-Men James Proudstar/Warpath whom John more strongly resembles on the show.
I can accept that super strong characters may have trained to hold back against puny humans, or get matched against other super tough characters so fights can fill air time. But if you're in a rage, a get-the-knife-out-and-almost-kill-him rage like @11:05, the first punch shoulda rendered the other guy uncurious and possibly brain damaged even in a low gore setting where he can't just be constantly pulling his hands out of ribcages and skulls.

Plain and simple Hollywood cast too many German, french or copper skinned look alikes and tries to pass them off as indian rather than go out there and find the true Native sons of this country that have been able to escape the torment and become actors
Yeah, that's his power set from the comics. It's a combo of super strength and durability, and an exagerration of the legendary tracking skills of Native Americans. I think his brother Warpath has the same skillset.

The only issue I have with his durability is that the show had buckshot be as damaging as it was when 5.56 Nato was bouncing off him. 5.56 is greater at penetration than buckshot.
I really love this movie alot ❤ how I wish they can release another episode,thunder bird did a great job in this movie I so much love all of them alot please bring season 3 soon😢😢

He's completely irrelevant in the comic books (died after two missions with the X-Men), but he somehow is the protagonist of this series. Kinda like Mystique (a 3rd tier villain in the comics) is the main hero in the X-Men movies
This is the original Thunderbird. John Proudstar was the first and the one that died after only two missions with the X-Men. His younger brother (James) went on to become the second Thunderbird but eventually changed his name to Warpath later on when he joined X-Force.
It's like trained fighters can destroy normal guys in a fight but actively choose not to because they know the damage they can do. Superman walks around every day fully conscious that even a momentary loss of control could create devastation. They knowingly hold back because their intent is not to kill
Not big into X-Men, so I don't know much about the rather unknown X-Men. Is Thunderbird somehow related to Warpath? Also an Indian character with fairly similar powers? Warpath was also super strong, durable, had enhanced senses and stuff like that. Edit: Oh, they're brothers.

Not only did they do every character right in this show. They didn't compromise the characters. Thunderbird is very underrated

Thunderbird was probably my favorite character on the show.
Most underrated charachter in the X-Men continuity, for sure.
I had the opportunity to rewatch the series recently. Absolutely great series. Wish it had gotten another season.
This is the only show where I loved every single character
Agents of SHIELD though!
I hate blink (DOFP was way better) and I hate Caitlyn she's so selfish
ThunderBird was a badass, I have always liked him in the comics and in the show.
Gifted was such a good show
He was the best character in the show.
A main character in this series, John Proudstar/Thunderbird died shortly after his first appearance in "Giant-Size X-Men" #1 in 1975. His legacy continued with his younger brother X-Men James Proudstar/Warpath whom John more strongly resembles on the show.
He actually dies on his second mission
he dies in the first x-men comic right?
Thunderbird the Best of the show. Freaking awesome
you forgot to mention one more power: handsome
True🤤
What?
Yeah he is quite attractive.
He seems to be the only person who knows how to get through a portal fast
This was the closest thing to a live action X Men show
Thunderbird was one of Storms most favorite children/students. She even gave him his notorious knives used in the comics.
That was Warpath, his younger brother. He did use his brother's codename for a little though

Without him the underground wouldn't last long

He can easily kill agent Turner , but he didn't , because of him lots of innocent mutants died , he is useless
