bring back old gbs posted:Ya it was when she went thru the door to Farouk. I'm. Guessing bigger jump, you lose more of yourself well thats grim because no way she isn't doing 30 year jumps by the end. interested to see what the monster is if she goes too far down that corridor which absolutely will happen I thought she wiggling her tooth because the tape was going on about the feeling of a time not because it was actually loose

Latest issue of EW had this episode rated a D so I was concerned but what a load of poo poo. This episode ruled.

night slime posted:I'm guessing the blue robot-like things at the end of the episode are the monsters. Since Switch associates robots with cold inhumanity (she calls Faroukh a robot) I'm certain that the monster at the end will have prominent robotic attributes. wether the Monster shaped her fears or was shaped by them is yet to be seen.

This show is pure art and it's no surprise that the media at large can't figure out how to digest that.

So if Switch can only safely go back a couple of hours at most, I guess David wanting to go way back and change past mistakes isn't gonna happen. Unless she like, levels up or defeats the time monster or something. I feel that trying to predict this show is pretty pointless though, pretty much anything is on the cards when you have god-level psychic wizards and time travelers in the mix. I should probably just sit back and enjoy the ride. The only thing I feel safeish guessing is that David will get a redemption arc and/or a tragic ending. Most likely both, he's a pretty tragic figure and between what he is and what he's been through I don't know how he could ever become a well-adjusted person who can properly empathise with normal people.

I liked his little argument with Scottish Dave and whoever else in the back room, I gather that's what the comc character was all about like his counterpart in Doom Patrol?

^Comic book Legion absorbs the personalities of the people he kills. I don't even usually like surreal shows like this, but the latest episode was great. It also seems like they realized they went a bit too far with season 2.

the episode also works well to show us that while David has GODLIKE powers he is still only human, blind to his own limitations and critically vulnerable in many ways. whereas dear old Farukh might be lagging behind on the power scale (and a total monster) he always knows who to placate and who to make alliances with in order to survive.

Yeah the setup in the show is pretty clearly that David has more raw power while Farouk is better at using the power that he has. Discipline vs Talent

So, the final scene where the time traveller is represented by a toy robot, in front of all the other toy robots, means she's mind controlled, right? Also, there was that musical number at the start, which usually mean mind control is going on. EDIT: also, they had a 66.7% chance of success  Yes, they did.

did admiral fukuyama die at the end of last season? I expected their presence given the suggestions david implanted re:baskethead or whatever but ptonomy seems to be the controller of the mustache ladies now.

I don't think Fukyama can die but he did seem to not enjoy what he was doing from what I can remember of his dialogue from last season. They seem to find David on the monitor as soon as Ptonomy takes over so maybe he was made the successor, if his brain can do something Fukyama's can't. David's last memory of Division 3 would be about the creepy basket head guys trying to kill him so it makes sense he would make the pamphlet stuff about that.

Megillah Gorilla posted:So, the final scene where the time traveller is represented by a toy robot, in front of all the other toy robots, means she's mind controlled, right? The point about the windup toys is interesting. The Switch-bot being superficially different than the other robots, but still nevertheless being a robot, implies that Switch appears to be free in ways that others aren't, but that that appearance is false. Specifically, I'd say that she's unstuck in time, being able to switch between different possible futures, but maybe not able to actually alter destiny in the way that she imagines. The predicted 2/3 success rate for the attack was only accurate because of Switch, after all. ... I've really missed this show. Edit: the more I think about it, the more I like that interpretation of the windup toys. I think that the show is driving in the Oedipal direction of David becoming a world killer specifically because his friends became aware of the fact that he would eventually kill the world. Time travel doesn't offer any escape from fate, but instead plays a role in the chain of causation. Ersatz fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Jun 26, 2019 |

Love the show, glad it's back. Great musical number! I think Switch is a great addition and introduces new possibilities which is exciting. I thought having David throw Farouk in that room was a nice touch, did a good job of showing the power level difference.

Yes the Magic Man's true believers assisted in pushing him into the room but you can see the door shut on its own and I think it's implied David is able to contain Farouk until he bursts out.

IShallRiseAgain posted:^Comic book Legion absorbs the personalities of the people he kills. Nah, in the comics Legion has dissociative personality disorder (aka multiple personalities), and each one has its own power to go with it. Early comics see him being taken over by the personalities whenever it suited them. The most recent series that was longer 6 issues had him have control over the different personalities. His mind was shown as a prison with him as the warden. He would let personalities out of their cells so he could use their powers.

The only person I remember who absorbed the memories of those who died was an alternate universe Rouge (who was called Legacy in that mini-series). In that title she was called "Legacy" instead of Rouge. She could potentially do this with her current power set, but she doesn't. Legion was in this, but it turns out he created this reality in his head, and pulled everyone in on it? It's been a while since I read this. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Age_of_X To confuse things more, that 20-something miniseries that starred Legion was called "X-Men Legacy". This is one of my favorite X-Men runs, and why I liked Legion as a character, and why I watched this show (although, it has nothing to do with the show of course). https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/X-Men:_Legacy_Vol_2

This very easily could be like a Grant Morrison X-men, he loves doing weird surreal poo poo like this, though he'd have David be bald, because he only writes characters that are self inserts. Only things I did not like about this episode was seeing Kerri get killed a bunch of times and one of the hippies in the musical number was really, really out of time with the music and it was distracting. But everything else, oh man, I wanna see more. Gimme this weird rear end show straight into my veins.
