Yellow eyed man is too silly looking to be that scary, especially with his goofy laugh that accompanies him. The fingers coming around the wall were a nice touch though.

I dunno, the yellow eyed demon was pretty creepy skulking about in the background when David was going to hang himself in the premiere. Same for when Syd was trying to crawl away with kid-David in the vents and you just see his scary-rear end crawling faster towards her.

Yellow Eyed Man is your general purpose malevolent presence which frightens you in your dreams simply by existing. The World's Angriest Boy in The World is the one which hunts you from dream to dream and wants to hurt you.

Serf posted:Legion is kinda low key the best horror show I've seen in a long time. The yellow eyed devil and the world's angriest boy are both pretty creepy. I've never been scared in the seasons of American Horror Story I've seen (1, 2, some of three, scattered eps after it). But everytime I see the Boy turned around, I start glancing around my darkened room. It's that off-putting.

An element of mystery. But now that we're starting to get hints as to its nature, he's becoming pretty creepy. He's not just manifested fear, he's a literal psychic invader that has taken control of and locked away parts of David's mind, and controls David through irrational fear.

I kind of believe we're jumping to conclusions on the yellow eyed man. We think he's evil because he looks kinda hosed up and a little unsettling, but this is the X-Men universe, that has nothing to do with a character being good or evil. It could be some manifestation of his mind that's protecting him or something. Angriest boy in the world is loving horrifying by comparison. I doubt there will be much good in him. Chokes McGee posted:David's major trigger seems to be intense, Hulk-style emotion. Lenny leveraged it for good (astral projection to find his sister), whereas Fat Guy does Very Bad Things™ with it (horizontally bisecting Lenny). I don't know, I don't think that's it entirely. Remember Lenny was hosed when his powers were in the hands of someone more sane. I think emotions falling out of control is only one half of the puzzle.

Lenny is actually The Demon With the Yellow Eyes (I'm not calling him/her Shadow King until the show does), or at least how David projects the rational version of it on top of Benny, who appeared to Syd as Lenny because Syd inherited David's mental dysfunction along with his powers when they swapped bodies JESUS loving CHRIST I LOVE THIS SHOW

This show's awesome, hope it sticks around a while.Dmitri-9 posted:What is Kerry's superpower, abuse magnet? Seriously what was that fight scene? I was waiting to see her do some serious beatdown stuff and for like 1 minute she was pulling off a River from Serenity. Then she proceeded to just get rear end whooped and nobody stayed down. Why the hell would you ever send her into a combat situation? What's more, why would you do that when the person she's tethered to takes all the beating at the same time? Why not just send both at that point? Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 09:29 on Mar 2, 2017 |

What the heck is Eye's power? It looked like he shape-shifted, avoided getting shot a million times, and just knocked out that dude by touching him.

Blazing Ownager posted:This show's awesome, hope it sticks around a while. She did manage to beat up four armed soldiers with her bare hands. The trouble came when more of them arrived. You don't send both because one is an old man who can't fight at all, and presumably the connection works both ways so if he gets his rear end beat it hurts her as well.

He is probably a telepath who can project illusions into other peoples minds and could subdue the memory guy with psychic combat. Dodging bullets is probably from telekinesis.

Big Mouth Billy Basshole posted:What the heck is Eye's power? It looked like he shape-shifted, avoided getting shot a million times, and just knocked out that dude by touching him. I think it's some kind of illusion power. So he didn't physically shapeshift, he just used illusions to look different. He didn't dodge or negate bullets, he just tricked someone into shooting in the wrong spot. And illusion powers would explain the name The Eye. He could also see David's astral projection when Division 3 was interogatting Amy, which again you can tie into illusion powers because it involves seeing what others can't. Knocking a guy out is a bit more of a stretch, but I think it's still kind of reasonable. I mean there's two ways you can think of illusion powers - a) changing the information that you emit (by bending the light and bending sound waves) or b) changing the information that others recieve (by influencing other people's minds). So if The Eye's powers are an instance of the latter and he influences people's minds then rendering them unconcious doesn't seem unreasonable because that's a more powerful example of influencing someone's mind. Or alternatively it's possible that he has multiple powers, I mean David seems to have many many powers so "one mutant, one power" isn't a rule characters have to obey here. That might be a bit spergy, but good episode anyway.

The eye was also unharmed as the goons in black outside started shooting up the lighthouse. His bullet invincibility has to be something else.

I thought he was controlling them or could sense where they were firing somehow, but he can't be exerting control if Syd was able to verbally trick them. For the comically inclined, how close is Legion stuff to Push? It seems like a lot of similar powers, but that might just be coincidence since nobody's screamed yet. Also this aged well: Gravy Jones posted:I read somewhere that Lenny was written as a middle aged guy and Aubrey Plaza only agreed todo the role if they didn't change any of the character's dialogue for her. This amuses me.

Well it's the X-Men universe, and David's one trick lends itself to crazy poo poo in there. Some of his crazier powers are the ability to answer any three questions someone asks, the ability to siphon love, and being a centaur. I don't see them carrying any of those over to the tv show.

The first few times they showed the Angriest Boy from far away, I mistook his open mouth for a pushbroom mustache. Now whenever they show him, I can't shake the idea that people in David's subconscious mind are being chased around by Bighead Hitler.

Henchman of Santa posted:I am so confused by the Cary/Kerry situation Think of it as the opposite of 2 characters fusing together. So say in Legends of Tomorrow, Professor Stein and Jax Jackson are 2 separate characters but they can fuse together to become Firestorm (2 separate egos contained within one body). Many other examples of this. Cary/Kerry is naturally 2 different egos inhabiting the same body, but they can separate out to become 2 different egos in 2 different bodies. When they're combined Kerry is dormant most of the time, but she must still be there because Cary can have conversations with her without her physically needing to surface.

I don't know, she's definitely "gone" in some way when not out considering she doesn't age and doesn't know what it is people do in bathrooms.
