Just have the mutants accepted and have the heroes fight the supervillians trying to destroy the world like other superhero movies, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Thor, etc.That's what

Originally posted by NorrinRadd View PostIt's not clear (after one ep.) where things are in the timeline, and the extent to which the show is part of the goobered up "continuity" of the movies. The "Sentinels" at this point seem to be small spidery things, and it's not at all clear that they can actually "detect" mutants and distinguish them from regular people. So the mutant-detecting Trask Sentinels that would have come online during the Nixon Administration but for Wolverine's efforts in DoFP never came to pass.
