The 20's to 40's were a special time. I liked it to.
Super Hero TV shows
I used to want super speed or invulnerability, probably because I was a slow, fat kid who got bullied a lot.
Now, I just want a power ring...’cause I like rings.
For me it was flight, until I realised that flight without an accompanying invulnerability was a death sentence. One mistake...

Alas, that's very much my own take.
When I was a kid my favorite superhero comics were the ones about the 'Legion of Superheroes' in the 30th century, especially if they featured Wildfire prominently.
A TV show would likely look really cheesy and thematically be turned into an angsty teenage soap, similar to the CW shows. So, it's probably best if there's never a tv show about it, allowing me to preserve my fond childhood memories.
I think the SFX would be fine...in the right hands. Especially as an animated show, of course.
The Achilles heel would indeed be the writing. The LoSH could legitimately feature some angstsy stuff- just like the Teen Titans- depending on the particular era. After all, it was founded by teens & twenty-somethings.
But also like the TT, they grew up and the storylines and dynamics changed.
Which reminds me...
I’d get a kick out of a good take on the Legion of SUBSTITUTE Heroes, Inferior Five, Great Lakes Avengers, Dist H For Hero or one of the other less serious super groups.
No Power Pack, though. Powderpuff Girls was better than any conceivable version of Marvel’s youngest superheroes.
Hawk & Dove could be interesting.
And of course, smaller companies’ ideas would be cool, too. Archer & Armstrong. Astro City. Powers.
Again, all assuming you could get good writers...and the right networks to host such shows.
I don’t subscribe to Hulu- or any other channel, for that matter- but...

Hulu, don’t screw this up. This SHOULD be ideal for TV. Like Thieves’ World, there’s a goodly number of central characters, plus a lot of potential for one-shots & short story arcs.

I learned nerd for this.
Elseworlds crossover event starts Sunday December 9 on The CW.*
Probably will go thusly Supergirl --> Arrow --> Legends of Tomorrow --> Flash
Black Lightning is not part of the Arrowverse despite being from the same production company, it will not be part of this.

Arrow and Flash both had a dip in quality, but are doing much better. Supergirl, too, from what I've heard. I didn't love the second season, especially after the first, but Ive been told repeatedly that it's really good again.
