New Mind-Blowing Poster for FX's X-Men Spinoff LEGION

I'm really hoping this doesn't suck, but am not getting good vibes.
 
That pretty much sums up the mind of David in one image.
 
I'll probably end up watching this just because it's X-Men-related, but I'm just not feeling the choice for the main character. Legion is the best character they could decide on? Really?

LEGION Producer Says the Show is Separate from X-Men Movie Universe

IGN: What are the challenges in having this other, larger X-Men franchise? Will this be within that universe, or are you making it separate?

Lauren Shuler Donner: "No, we're making it separate. We're our own world."

IGN: So even if it touches upon Xavier later, it's not the Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy versions?

Donner: "Yes, we're in a different world. Exactly."

IGN: Why go that route? Particularly because Matt Nix said his FOX X-Men project is a part of that world?

Donner: "Matt's is much more a part of just the world in terms of there are mutants, mutants are hated and there are Sentinels -- though very different from what we've seen before. You feel like you're here in the X-Men world. With Legion, we're our own universe. It gives Noah the freedom to do what he wants to do. Because we play with so many different timelines, and we rebooted and not really rebooted and all that, we felt like, OK, we're going to throw it out there and hope the fans accept it."

IGN: More in a creative sense, are you moving forward leaning more into the idea of having standalone story versus connecting everything in a larger cinematic universe?

Donner: "The cinematic universe will not worry about Legion. They will not worry about these TV worlds as all. They will just continue in the way that they have been continuing, and there is some great stuff that we are developing. I can just say it's going to be new and different, and yet Legion and our other show, we're not going to get in each other's way."

Just saw a promo for this during the Packers/Falcons game and, seeing it was X-Men related looked some more into it.

If (and it is a big if, I know) they can find a balance between showing the mental health issues in a non-demonising light, whilst also not being super-preachy, this could be interesting.

But I also have a bad feeling it is gonna go for "I'm so crazy look at me, look at me.... aww, now I am sad and brooding!" rather than anything actually clever.

Prove me wrong, FX, prove me wrong.
