New X-MEN TV Series (Not LEGION) Will Have Sentinels

In case you weren't aware, Legion is not the only X-Men television show Fox is developing at the moment. There's actually another series coming that apparently could get the green light in a couple weeks according to Comicbook. What it is about, who is in it, or where in the confusing timeline it takes place is unknown...but we do know there are Sentinels in it. Producer Lauren Donner shares some additional interviews below...

“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.”

So basically she's saying Fox is going with the "f*** you, accept it" strategy when it comes to continuity and X-Men! While I'm not going to turn my nose up at yet another hero show on television, I have to wonder at what point does the X-Men franchise become just as convoluted as the comics? Isn't this exactly why comic sales declined? 

I guess if anyone had the freedom for multiple franchises for characters in their roster it's definitely the X-Men, but is it too much? I for one am completely fine with Legion being the only X-Men show on television for the time being.
