Outside of Sarah, the writers of Arrow, Flash and LoT really don't know how to write female characters that aren't massive killjoys/damsels in distress.
Kendra's the worst of the bunch. I want HAWKGIRL, not this hateful coffee obsessed cretin. Last edited by Tom4784; 29-04-2016 at 01:11 PM. |

So I just read that Matt Letscher and John Barrowman are gonna be in Season 2 as regulars, and Neal McDonough is gonna appear on a recurring basis, they're having Thawne, Darhk and Merlyn be part of the "Legion of Doom". I'm here for Thawne as I've always loved him on The Flash (and I've wanted us to see more of Letscher as the character), I liked Darhk too (even though I hated Season 4 of Arrow).
I've been bored of Merlyn for a while though. He was great in Season 1 of Arrow but they made him repetitive and irritating when they decided to bring him back beyond that first season arc. Hopefully Merlyn in Legends is an interesting villain again. Maisie Richardson-Sellers is also gonna be a regular as another version of Vixen (the grandmother of the one who appeared on Arrow). I loved Maisie on The Originals so I'm down for this too. I still haven't even watched the finale yet |

I've just finished watching this and I have to say I pretty enjoyed it, I did find some episodes boring but it didn't put me off. The characters on this I didn't even hate/dislike or find anyone meh which is quite rare for me but If I had to pick a favourite then it has to be Sara. It's nice to see the Prison Break brothers and someone who played superman on this show too. Looking forward to season 2.

Ahh I still like Legends, it's totally embraced being daft and over-the-top at some point in the way that they other DC shows don't, and just goes with it now. It's usually a fun watch

anyone else still following this
season 6 is current season, to sum it up quickly, this time its all about aliens current legends are Spoiler: so far, we've had a younger david bowie, John F Kennedy/Fidel Castro historical characters, we even went to animated scene Spoiler: we had music feature of The Buzzcocks ''ever fallen in love with someone'' all in all, this is still good fun to watch, but very comical the new Zari, lets say she was a real stereotype of a spoiled rich social media influencer/businesswoman/self made woman at first, but becomes more and more likeable, and now we got the whole Zari/John romance, he also makes her become a better person |

Legends is fun; definitely to be taken tongue-in-cheek. They even break the 4th wall occasionally; e.g. one of them telling the new crewmate "this is last year's season finale" when they travel back to try to stop Sarah being abducted (and Nate saying something like "season finales are great, except that one where I died...").
It's always a good light-hearted watch though. |

They're still not great in Flash though. I wonder if the writing teams diverged significantly? Although that said, a LOT of the characters in The Flash are pretty annoying. |

On the topic of the DC shows - the new Superman is also actually surprisingly decent. I think bolstered by the fact that it seems to have a (much??) higher effects budget than most of the CW-DC shows? They're consistently movie-quality. Even the teen characters aren't too annoying. I mean... a little bit. But not that much and the focus is on them less than I initially thought it was going to be, it does mainly stick with the title and focus on Superman and Lois.
It seemed totally unrelated to the other shows at one point though, to the point where I thought it might actually be, but the most recent ep FINALLY confirmed it's still in the same universe with a John Diggle/Argus appearance (and Oliver Queen name drop). Still no Kara though . Perhaps not surprising as I think she's recently had a baby (in real life). |

I like that Steel is in the show, he's been fairly overlooked these days. If the rumoured "Black Superman" film comes to pass, Irons would be a good candidate for the lead role instead of blackwashing Clark Kent. There are a few black Supermen in DC canon, he's probably the best choice. edit - has Bart Allen been in Flash yet? I like that he and Tim Drake are finally getting the live action treatment.

Spoiler: is slightly irritating at times but he's not too bad. It's otherwise been good and one of the few shows I actually watch on release day rather than letting it stack up until I can be bothered. As for Bart Allen... I don't THINK he's been in it but there have been so many speedsters . I think the only iterations of THE "actual" Flash have been Barry Allen and Jay Garrick. Obviously there's been Wally West as well but only ever under the title Kid Flash, he's never been a full red-suited Flash. [edit] In a bizarre twist I was literally watching the second-to-most recent episode and he's only gone and just turned up . Spoiler: Last edited by Toy Soldier; 20-07-2021 at 01:55 PM. |

Comics!Bart is Barry's grandson from the future. Both of their fully names are Bartholomew!
As for XS, she's Bart's cousin in the comics rather than sister. As far as I know, no version of XS has been called Nora, she's usually (always?) Jenny. Both she and Bart are the kids of Tornado Twins, Barry and Iris' kids. But I guess they're the Tornado Twins in the Arrowverse! I've not really "seen" much of XS, as she's in the Legion, which I don't really care about but I think characterisation is more important than familial relations - is Bart a bit annoying, cringey, huggy, but well-read with an eidetic memory? |

I dunno what he’s like he literally just turned up at the end of that episode, in an odd coincidence. He didn’t exist before, it was just XS who appeared from the future previously, but obviously someone dun ****ed with the timeline (again) because she turned up after being gone (back in the future…) for ages but with a brother this time.
I’d never heard of the Tornado Twins but yes it definitely sounds like they’ve streamlined those characters into two for telly purposes. They’re also (quite overtly) hinting that John Diggle from Arrow will soon be becoming Green Lantern. Dunno if it’s getting a show or if he’ll just feature in guest stints across all the shows - he’s recently been in Flash and also Superman, and apparently Batwoman, but I don’t watch that. It was so bad when it started… I dunno if it improved but I’d have to be really lacking in things to watch to give it another shot. |
