Flesh Forge posted:I enjoyed this quite a lot. It was corny but what are you gonna do, it's a comic book show about comic book characters doing comic book things. No complaints, as always Wentworth Miller alone is worth the time watching but everybody else was fun and likable. Brandon Routh looked so genuinely crestfallen when Hunter tells them all the truth, Victor Garber was great, Arthur Darvill was great, Caity Loitz was great Yeah I really liked this, it was so much like a comic book story that managed to pack in both character introductions and a beginner mission. Some great lines too like "I thought we were supposed to be a team". And Dominic Purcell shouting "I love the 70s" almost right into the camera during the bar fight was great. One thing I can't figure out though - if Captain Cold just wants money why doesn't he license the technology used in his Freeze-O-Ray gun?! It could be worth tens of millions of dollars just from food & beverage industry applications. Maybe he simply likes being a big bad guy, which is fine by me.

The Hawkcouple keep being killed not because of a curse but simply because their relationship creeps everyone out so much they have to be gotten rid of. And Hawk"girl" seems like a weird appellation for someone who is 4000 years old. Her partner is not Hawkboy. But seriously, if they are immortal through soul resurrection or whatever, and they are traveling through time, they could meet themselves during their adventures and ask for or give themselves advice and remember that meeting when they return to the 'current' timeline :paradox:

Canary is also able to knock bad guys down with a sword without cutting them. Must've learned that from the League of Assassins. Really. she is great, already better than the sob sister she was on Arrow, and I look forward to her being a give-no-fucks badass in period costume every week.  Legends could have Sara and the team meeting John Constantine in the 80s in England. Oh the possibilities..

X-O posted:The action scenes suffer because most of the team's powers overlap and are visually boring. Hawkgirl flies. Captain Cold shoots an ice gun with no discernible effect. Heat Wave shoots a fire gun with no discernible effect. Firestorm flies AND shoots fire with no discernible effect. Rip Hunter shoots a laser gun with no discernible effect. Atom flies AND shoots lasers with no discernible effect. And sometimes does it while tiny. It's all very samey and kind of boring looking. Canary is the only one that does any actual action stuff. I watched the nuclear auction fight scene again and maybe there's so much going on you aren't seeing it all. The ice and fire guns do have effects - and also double as close-combat concussive weapons. But this is not a team of psychopaths so they're trying to stun/neutralize/knock out the henchmen, not commit mass murder. The real mystery is how they got past security with those huge guns hidden under their coats LOL. And The Atom in flight is awesome. He's more effective than the Hawkcouple, in the first miniaturized sweep across the room he takes down 6 people in about 2 seconds, grows back to full size and immediately knocks out 2 more.

Could be a dumb theory, but it was just a random thought I had The Flash exists in this universe, and the Flash is going to meet Supergirl. BTW whatever happened to the Temporal Bounty Hunter sent by the Time Masters Club? I think he was called Chronos but that seems way too on-the-nose even for this show.

XboxPants posted:As much as I complained about the larger narrative stuff, I really like the way they're structuring the individual episodes with little C-plots between just 2 characters. It's a great opportunity to flesh out the relationship dynamics between the cast quickly - Stein/Ray, Sara/Kendra, etc. Reminds me a bit of what they did in the old Justice League cartoon. And like you said, they're actually building good chemistry between these people, too. Even Jackson the Natural Athlete. Yes, it's great that this group really only operates as a team occasionally, and is mostly a collection of strong individuals each with their own motivations and morals often operating at cross purposes. And at any time, any one of them can say "You guys wait here Imma go try something" and zoom off (and then mess up the situation). And really, Rip Hunter is a time-travelling gently caress-up and a fugitive with a legitimate bounty hunter chasing him,. The Time Masters told him not to do what he's doing but he is trying anyway, even though he knows it's wrong. The essential time paradox Rip refuses to accept: If Savage is not around to kill Rip's family in 2166, Rip does not steal the Waverider, go back in time, assemble the team, and try to stop Savage. IOW to see the events that are taking place on this show, Rip cannot and does not stop Savage from rising to power and killing his wife and son. So now Rip has inculcated these people into helping him and rather than heroes, they're essentially all time criminals. Even though from their own point of view they're trying to save humanity. It's a great conflict within the show. And to conclude: I had no idea who Caity Lotz is other than actress on Arrow and LoT. Then I saw this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACP7Gl8WkPk Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Feb 9, 2016 |

And, as messed up as the Legends teamwork might be, the Time Master's bounty hunter is even worse at his job than they are!

Gideon is such a goofy talking computer it should have been named X-Po 2 for delivering too much exposition whenever necessary.Bad Moon posted:Stein the Time Pirate Space Ranger owns. Who would hate this show? The Rip Hunter backstory seems to be apart and aloof from the other characters' motivations and actions, but it's nice to get more of his past filled in. But the Time Masters are such shitheads. Why do so many organizations have to have the familiar "no love allowed" regulation?! LOL. (Like the Nights Watch in Game of Thrones}. "As a Time Master, you are not allowed close personal relationships" seems like a rule made to be broken. lotus circle posted:It's pretty sad state of affairs that the Mick and Snart partnership is far more compelling than any half-baked romances they create. Why the hell are they hooking Kendra and Ray up when she literally turned him down an episode ago. And in terms of the continuity she rejected him maybe a few hours ago. That's not a sad state of affairs, it's the craft of scriptwriting. And fairly common to build up a character for an episode or two before killing him off (if that's what happened). Gives the scene more emotional impact as you have indicated. Kendra didn't turn down Ray before because she wasn't attracted to him, she explained why she was hesitant previously. And was obviously caught up in the moment this episode. Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Mar 4, 2016 |

Xelkelvos posted:All very important questions. Even Time Pirates are hesitant to go around murdering everyone in their path. The Butterfly Effect stipulates that killing even a seemingly unimportant person could have unforeseen dire consequences to the timeline. OTOH....Gideon had no problem killing them off by blasting all the Time Pirates out into space LOL. Or maybe lasers would harm the structural integrity of the ship's infrastructure and hull. Or maybe the Time Pirates just don't want to be bothered having to clean up all the blood spatter from laser blasts.

Bruceski posted:Well, that was painfully racist. Par for the course, though. Yeah interactions between police and black men are so much better now. I really like this show but we're 8 episodes into 16 episode season and there has been absolutely zero progress in their battle against Savage - in fact they've gone backwards and have actually helped him. Because now he's known about Rip's crew chasing him, and their powers/technology since 1958. Or maybe that's the show's central time paradox - the Legends of Tomorrow are the reason Savage decided to, and was able to rule the world.

I wonder if Samuel Clemens would have been a better reference (some of his siblings died very young) but for some reason they couldn't use him. I know this is incredibly trivial concerning a science fiction program but the conversation should have been: Stein: You're HG Wells? Young Herbert: HG, I like that.

Fat Shat Sings posted:At this point I am rooting for Savage. I completely agree. As I said earlier, we've tried monarchies, democracies, and many other nation-based forms of government and they all eventually get hosed up. Furthermore, HeatWave/Chronos and Snart could easily make a deal with Savage to go around stealing stuff and causing mayhem around his devastation. OR the LoT could ditch Rip and work with Savage as a sort of clean-up and rehab crew. So he goes in, demolishes an area and takes it over, then they come along and help people on a local scale, re-building infrastructure for the survivors and helping them crawl from the wreckage. So Vandal gains 'political' power and they can still be do-gooders.
