It was a good, fun hour of TV. And I think it's weird if you don't agree with me.

It looks like a revolver because they thought it looks cool with his space-duster. FFS.

I guess the thing that sticks out to me as something they did really well- aside from just making an episode fun and charming and move along at a brisk pace and all that- is they managed to do a pretty good job establishing unique motivations for everyone in 40 minutes. Captain Cold and Heat Wave want to be time burglars- sure, why not. Atom is worried he won't be remembered for anything. One half of firestorm is a science nerd and the other cares about camaraderie. Etc etc etc. For a show that is meant to be a campy action-adventure for everyone, I thank that's pretty impressive*. Most shows would have struggled to put 3 characters in the ensemble in focus for 1 episode. Yeah they got a nice head-start by introducing these characters and getting a feel for them in Arrow and Flash, but still it's impressive that they were able to get all of them re-introduced and clearly explained while still having a story to get the ball rolling in one episode. *yeah Fargo and True Detective and shows like that pull it off, but I wouldn't have expected to put Legends of Tomorrow in the same sentence with shows like that ever.

SalTheBard posted:That episode was great. I loved it. This show is stupid and fun and I can't ask for much more than that in a TV show. This show is the kind of campy poo poo I loved as a kid, and appreciate more as a grownup.

Any time you or one of the characters asks 'wait why don't we just do something cool with the timeline to solve this problem or avoid this obviously contrived situation" you should just mentally edit in Rip Hunter saying "because of time reasons, nigga."

Binary Logic posted:First rule of time travel is, don't think too hard about time travel. I wonder if (either in LoT or maybe in future seasons of The Flash) we'll ever see them explore Firestorm's weirder powers. I really only remember him from the 80s Justice League cartoons, but he can like transform matter on the atomic level, which is a neat power IMO. boom boom boom posted:The problem is that he was established as a dude who only wants to kill two people every 25 years. And was very murdered by four superheroes working together. Now he's taken over the world and half a dozen superheroes can't get him. To be fair, he was beaten by somewhere between 4 and 7 heroes (in the do-over the rest of the Arrow gang shows up to fight, right?), the key 2 heroes of Green Arrow and Flash (who for all intents and purposes are the Batman and Superman of the CW universe) did a lot of heavy lifting, and even then the good guys needed a do-over because the first time they tried to stop him they screwed up and got like all of Central City nuked. I'm not in love w/ Savage because so far we haven't seen anywhere near the charisma of Barrowman or Cavanaugh here....but luckily the show is plenty loaded with fun and charming heroes, so a de-emphasized villain is alright by me.

Scyantific posted:There was a deleted scene from the season 1 finale that shows Ronnie/Stein Firestorm turning a thermometer into a flower for Caitlin, so they can't say they wouldn't be able to. Oh then I have to imagine they'll definitely do it at some point. Maybe they're just waiting for an appropriately dramatic moment for a Prof. Stein voiceover to explain that "maybe we can do this but WE MIGHT FAIL??" (then they don't fail).

While I'm not in love with the action scenes, I'm not really sure who/what to compare them to- in terms of producing these things for TV I think they're perfectly acceptable? The 'Atom flys across the warehoues as we get a brief glimpse of everyone doing their thing' was a pretty well executed shot, IMO. I mean it doesn't help that CW is pretty much the only place they're trying to do TV superheroes aside from Supergirl? And from the pilot I wasn't overly impressed with their action scenes either. I do feel it's meant to be something of an homage to big team fight scenes like Binary Logic said.

This show remains good and if you have problems with it it's probably due to your overexposure to this website.
