Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tonguez" data-source="post: 6806743" data-attributes="member: 1125">So Legends of Tomorrow has premiered to much hype and fanfare and it was fun but largely mediocre<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />That may be because it spent the whole time on exposition despite the fact that the show already hijacked last years run of the Flash and Arrow to do the set up and even introduced the villain and delivered him to the future in powered form. It was a bit annoying really, and despite each character getting a personality vignette before being MIB'ed by Rory, it failed to deliver any real action or epic moments (compare how well Agent Carter did in establishing the new relationships and leaping right into the action.)The problem could be the huge size of the team - 9 characters, a C-grade Justice League, who do luckily split nicely into two groups (the do-gooders and the brawlers) with Time travelling Rip (Rory) Hunter in the middle - except tha Darvill hasn't actually claimed that position in the show yet and that leaves things wanting, or perhaps Canary will fill this role instead or maybe even Atom (nice Batman v Superman links there lol). Of course The Brawler team of Canary, Captain Cold and Heatwave were the best part of the show and had the best scene in the bar room brawl, they are going to be the team to save the show from boredom especially as the Hawks drama is still a bit meh (although the reveal about their son was nice and gooey) and the Firestorm duo are equally shakey (and the notion of a college professor drugging and kidnapping a young student just a bit dodgy!). The Atom was the only member of the do-gooders who seemed like he might add something interesting to the team dynamic.Oh and Vandal Hath-Set is still naff. Vandal Savage should have an overwhelming impact comparable to Darth Vader or less ambitiously Damien Darhk, I'm not seeing it.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/yawn.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yawn:" title="Yawn    :yawn:" data-shortname=":yawn:" />So  what did you all think of this latest development in the DC Arrowverse? Did it live up to the hype or is it a disappointment? Are you going to keep watching or has Comicbook television reached saturation point?I think Legends does fit nicely into the Arrowverse and has potential, but it does need work. Maybe next week will put it onto a better trajectory</blockquote>
