New Zari had grown on me, but having Old Zari back was very good. I hope they find a way to keep both, somehow. Normally, it would jank up a show's works, but Legends seems like it could make it work.

She better get paid for double time.


Edit: Caity Lotz is WAY too good at Kirkisms.

When I read the headline, I thought it meant the tech company Cisco, the actually guest star is much cooler.

They could always have Zari 1.0 (as she was referred to in the Fates' script) be a Legend while influencer Zari goes back to her time and lives her normal life.

Yeah but if Zari 2.0 leaves, I'm worried that Behrad might go with her and I can't abide that.

I don’t think she can go back. Her entire character arc has been about realizing how shallow and meaningless her old life and friends were and that saving the world through time travel was more important than “likes” and would never require marrying a DJ wearing a giant s’more with dollar sign eyes on his head.

I feel like they needed another episode that touched on this.

This season needed more episodes generally.

Really liked this Truman Show / High Castle / Gilliam / Friends mashup. Also loving brutal with their Star Trek "it's some sort of scripting algorithm!" joke.

The actress playing Astropos is having a lot of fun. They should depower her and keep her around as a joke villain. Team her up with Gary in a b-plot.

"Why didn't we just dogpile Savage and have the... Chicken hawks or whatever just stab him when we had the magic dagger?"
"Mick's right, the first thing you need to know is we had no idea what we were doing back then."

Edit: it would be neat to have the show runners remember that Mick was a time traveling bounty hunter for basically a thousand years and accidentally encounter Chronos while doing another job.

All of the people who joined after season 2 encounter Chronos and somehow get his mask off and think it's Mick doing a bit or something. Mick's daughter may or may not also be with them.

In more depressing news, I decided (foolishl) to look at YouTube comments on Legends videos.

Some of them acutally think S1 was better than Dionysus getting beat in ping pong.

I know it’s been said, but still, gently caress YouTube comments.

I can see this show driving a certain kind of person absolutely insane. The kind of person who wants comic books and related media to be "taken seriously" and treated as "real art" and all that nonsense. The fact that Legends swerved hard into the absurdity would stick in their craw something awful.

I'm perpetually fascinated by these kind of people who allegedly live and breath nerd pop culture and yet every new drop of nerd pop culture seems to piss them off to the point of ripping out what little non-facial hair they have left. Sometimes I wonder what happened to these poor saps to mess them up so hard that they seem to want to live in their angry nerd purgatory rather than just move on to something else.

This is mind boggling. Legend's high concept absurdity (and big, very wholesome, heart) is literally the main reason it's worthwhile.

The Flash / Arrow / Supergirl aren't serious shows, they're just not capable of perspective.

Flash and Supergirl dabble in it from time to time, but it never sticks like Legends does. The one show that these types of ur-comic book nerds consistently really seem to hate is Batwoman for some reason I can't quite put my finger on :thunk:
