but shouldn't tv shows (and films) be made so that audiences don't have to go see other shows(/films) beforehand to understand?? maybe to get more depth, sure, but not to actually follow the plot. like the difference between a movie and book. directors shouldn't create a film where it's required to read a book beforehand to understand what's going on (just allow room for book lovers/admirers to have their moments) - and this is coming from a bookworm!
Mickey Moo Then think of it as starting Harry Potter by reading the Deathly Hallows first. All the characters and even the villain of Legends of Tomorrow were introduced in Arrow and the Flash and to truly enjoy the stories and understand their motivations, it's important to watch the other shows. That's the beauty of having a shared universe between shows.
oh, well, i haven't read or seen the HP series so I have no idea what you're implying by that but I think I can understand what you mean by sharing universes between shows. Although, I've never really really experienced that kind of "beauty" as I don't really watch TV shows myself but each to their own d:
sara: - survives 5 years on lian-yu - survived lost at sea/drowning, twice -was a trained assassin - was a kickass vigilante - whole body covered in scars - was dead - slept with about half the world alex: "a soccermom..."
Sara spent only half a year on Lian Yu, not 5. And for most of those 6 months she was with Oliver's group with Slade & Shado to protect her, not all alone surviving by herself. (like how on the AMAZO she spent a year and a half in security and relative comfort in Ivo's quarters, and not half-starving in a cage losing body parts and getting shot to prove she was tough like the others)
They explain later why Rip Hunter didn't just save his family. He tried dozens of times, but every time he failed. He had to watch his family die over, and over again.
@@noemirodriguez8307 I don't think he is all of that altruistic of a character. Some of his motivation is probably to stop other people from suffering, but if he could have gotten out with just his family, I think that he would have
@@arsoz1 For the team, Rip's present was their future. Sara once said "The future's an open road." Since Flashpoint was caused by Barry changing fixed *past* events I doubt stopping Vandal Savage would've had a ripple effect as big.
He needs to watch all of Arrow and The Flash before judging this. DC's Legends of Tomorrow is so intertwined with Arrow and The Flash that you have to watch them first to really appreciate the characters.
True, I just mean its hard to get an accurate picture of how good the show is when it seems like character are coming out of nowhere and your not getting a back story.
actually rip hunter was mentioned in an episode before the legends, I rewatched arrow and I caught someone mention "their friend rip hunter" Edit: Nvm it was flash
I get how the show can be confusing if you just watch Legends of Tomorrow because they come from the Flash and Arrow universe and if you don't watch those shows you won't know anything about the characters in this one. Like how Sara Lance would murder you without you even realizing it for calling her a soccer mom.
well just of villains has the idea that human are dancer for earth, and that true. We are killing earth. To kill cancer we need to kill the bad cell. but humans want power, money, and control.
Maybe if vandal was loved sure maybe he wouldn't be a meanie? But because one girl rejected him (which isn't on her at all.) He goes all bat crap crazy. He coukd have been an actual good guy and once rejected MOVED THE FUCK ON. He was in a great position of power. He could have easily found any other female that would love to give him a chance. But no. Crazyflakes had to kill the heir to the throne and his priestess. Plunged ancient egypt into death and choas and death.
Am I the only one who has a problem with the original group being dead because the of group was killed by reverse flash and then the show continued like that never happened
She and Ava would be like the most aggressive soccer moms. Their child would be literally amazing at soccer and they would scream on the sidelines. Also coach.
@@jirahjashmiermacalino7556 not really. Like you can watch the flash without watching arrow or supergirl but something like LOT thats literally made with characters from the entire arrowverse combined makes it that way
Jacob Morris I mean it in a way that when a cross over happens, for me I never really intended to watch any show other than the flash but then the cross over happened and before I knew it I was binging the whole arrowverse
Immortal Jellyfish I call bullshit. Hard to believe Batwoman saves ppls lives after she constantly tears down men while killing people and letting her murderous sister go free multiple times. That’s a terrible role model. KLAUS from Umbrella academy and The woman from Mandalorian are exceptional characters
Okay but in season 3, when they stepped out of the seriousness of the show and embraced the fact that they could just do whatever they want, it got so much better!
basically season 1 and 2 were ok, but then they just stopped trying. I get embracing the cheesiness(although it does mean that you are appealing to 7 year olds now) but they could have spent some time making the cgi a bit better. Legends of tomorrow was just too much everything, and it in no way matched the down-to-earth Arrow, which was still not good but much better than the other shows
All these characters have been fleshed out to some extent on different arrowverse shows if you aren’t caught up you’ll be confused. They also explain that rip tried to save his family but couldn’t change time. Season 1 gets off to a rocky start but season 2 and 3 makes it easily the best show in the arrowverse Also I feel like you should watch the 1st season of these shows, it’s hard to judge a show on by the first episode Also batwoman’s getting a show
the whole sara-snart romance thing is the most bullshit thing ever. they have chemistry, then snart just dies, and dara just act like nothing happened????? She and Ava honestly don't match. And I know that makes me sound homophobic but they are just too different. Sara and Snart match and it lasted literally 2 seconds
You wouldn't have 'just met these characters 5 minutes ago' if you had watched all the episodes of the Arrowverse shows up to this point. The Atom and White Canary are seen in Arrow. Captain Cold, Heat Wave and Firestorm were in the Flash. And Hawkman and Hawkgirl are in the crossover of Flash and Arrow when Vandal Savage is the villain. Even Gideon was seen on the Flash. The only new character is Rip Hunter.
Eh.. that's a lot of tv shows to watch just to find out about one show's characters. Plus, this show doesn't need it. Every single character is simple enough that all you really need to know about them is in the first episode of Legends.
What I really dislike about this show is that they can travel trough time and without chancing too much, but when the Flash goes back a day and farts, somebody dies.
Lonly Wanderer Yes, nearly, but they turn it back to fairly normal, even after fighting a black market and causing a nuclear blast. Also Hunter went back to ancient Egypt and he in the future was still married to the same woman and had a kid so he didn't change the timeline all that much
This is a really fun show to watch. I highly recommend DC's Legends of Tomorrow to anyone who really wants to get into time travelling in the DC Arrowverse franchise.
While he was fighting there was a rap song about him in the backround! that's so cringy. "Black lightning is awsome and cool blah blah blah he is back and he fights the bad guys" ok I exaggerated the lyrics a little bit but that's basically how it went down hahaha
Legends of Tomorrow is my favourite of the CW DC shows, It just goes off the walls and the more insane it gets the more I love it! Voltron Bebo and Magical Theme Parks included!!!
@@VersaucerCoff _Alex Meyers_ . When he said "for no reason", I'm pretty sure he meant that it was a pointless action sequence that didn't affect the characters, plot, had no tension, and didn't have any consequences.
You should change all your video titles to weird "pilot" coz you can't judge an entire "show" by watching just an episode. It's like saying this book sucks coz i didn't like the first line.
Guide to Street Magic actually... TV shows have a structure that each episode follow. And the first paragraph of a book tells you if a book is good or not. Change my mind.
Nega-Venom But if it only has 8 episodes you would be judging it by its whole first series. Seems like a waste of time if the first 2 episodes didn't catch you (including the pilot)
This show gets SO MUCH BETTER in season 2! Then in season 3 they truly find their own vibe that sets them apart from the other, darker DC shows, and makes it one of my favourite TV shows ever! Season 3 is really funny and just-the-right-amount-of-weird, and looks deeper into each character's individuality and their relationships (and the finale is one of the best things I have ever seen, if you've seen it you know what I mean lol) Also there's lot of queer and racial diversity! :D
Question: *Will I be confused if I watch this show without having seen Arrow?* I don't plan on watching Arrow but I wonder if I should watch this one becauss people say it gets better (instead of worss, which a lot of shows do) and because people say it gets weird and that's so my thing, lol. Question 2: Do you think I'll miss out if I watch the show in a different language? I.e. *is there something really notable about a character's voice or something like that?* I'm currently watching Supernatural in German because my German is rusty. XD I have no problem with comprehention. Thank you in advance! ^^
Essenagerry Question 1: You can watch Legends without watching Arrow. I don’t think you will be confused. There are some references in the show and crossovers that requires you to watch the rest of the arrowverse shows to get, but the overall plot of the show is still easy to understand without knowing these. Question 2: I don’t think you’ll miss out if you watch it in another language but I’m not sure as I’ve never set it to another language lol. There’s nothing really notable about any characters voice, I just am not sure as I have never heard Legends in a different language.
Season 3 of LoT was the best out of the all CWDC show that year in my opinion. It is the one I enjoyed the most and S3 was the best season on LoT. Let's see what season 4 brings :)
Actually, this show is AWESOME. “It’s basically a Saturday morning cartoon come to life.” YES and it’s so much fun! To be fair, the first season is not great, but the past two seasons have been absolute joy. Also Sara Lance is the best character in all of the Arrow/Flash shows.
When he asked why the bar fight was happening......I REALLY wanted to comment something like "Wait until you finish watching the show. You'll know exactly WHY it's happening." This show RELISHES in the fact that it's just balls-to-the-wall nonsense! And it's all the better for it! IT GAVE US BEEBO!!!!
She is a good lead, i am devided on the best character there is rory, snart was great, Amaya, Stein, Ray Palmer, Damien Darkh, Rip is good too, after he isnt takes so seriosly anymore, and he can sing Karaoke
There's actually a Prison Break reference in the show in one episode where they have to break some members of the crew and Wentworth Miller says "relax this isn't my first Prison Break"
there are so many inside jokes and references you could make with Rory being the "not Doctor Who" guy and that might be the only reason for me to watch this show
5:26 I fell in love with a Scottish woman with ginger hair and then we had a baby girl who then grew up to be my wife's friend's wife and it was super awkward for all of us and ever since that day I decided I will time travel alone with an AI so I won't be able to have any romantic feelings for it and bang it. It didn't work.
kibert135 Yeah I think the writers gave up on taking the show seriously....they were like....we've been struggling with consistency and logic since day one so fck it....here's giant beebo and that's a WRAP on season 3!
+91claire What exactly is your problem? Just because it is ridicoulus doesn't mean it isn't consitent. If you are looking for a brooding show like season 1 was, you should stop watching. Legends found its niche and a lot of people (including me) love the show for it. There are many shows out there for your taste but acting like the type of show Legends wants to be makes it a bad show doesn't seem fair to me.
I say watch Arrow and The Flash first , Because those are the characters from those shows , So basically...We didn't just meet them from episode 1 of Legends of tommorow
Nobody who watches this show or LIKES this show will disagree with you on that title, Alex :p This show is one of my favorite shows ever, especially after Season Three, and even I will freely admit that this show goes batshit insane later in S1, S2, and S3 in the best possible way.
Rip did try to save his family using the time ship many times but the thing is the result stays the same they die same manner everytime. he also tried to kill Savage before he was immortal but failed. Since he avoids going to same place in time at same time which will create a paradox , and Savage is always in hiding so he kinda needed help. this show has its plot holes but you should really do your research.
yes, rip can't go back to the same time as before, so why not one day earlier, or two. Doesn't really make sense to try and say go to 1979, not get it right and proclaim that 1979 is off limits to ever try again. These shows can't be based of realistic realities because they wouldn't last long. Can't beat him as a adult, easy, go back and kill the baby, or the parents, or their parent's parent's. Don't wanna kill them? That's easy as well, kidnap them, put them in a random time. Salvage becomes what he is because he loved a girl from one civilization that didn't love him back, snatch him up as a baby and give him to another family in another civilization. Different upbringing, different person.
Gummie Bear but fucking with Vandal before he was immortal (thousands of years ago) would fuck the entire timeline and might lead to Rip never even meeting his family. He’s trying to keep the timeline before Vandals takeover in the future un messed up.
I've only seen the first episode and it was too cringy for me to continue. Im sure it probably gets better. Similar to The 100 (another show Alex didnt watch too far into before making his video), it probably starts off really weird and stiff, but gets interesting later on. But both are equally fun to make jokes about in good fun.
Oddly enough,(big spoilers for season two or so of this show) the "save your family from Vandal Savage" point WAS addressed later in the show; he tried that first, a hundred times, and failed every time.
There is a reason you watch the entire series… if you watch the entire series you’ll learn that Rip Hunter has tried to save his family MULTIPLE TIMES but, every time they DIE!
Everyone needs to start watching this show from the 2nd season. It is legit one of the best shows on air right now, it rolls with the cheesy nature so well it's unbelievable. The improvement in quality from season 1 to 2 is incredible.
May have been weird but by far the best finale across all dc hero shows. I love supergirl, flash, and arrow but this show has skyrocketed since the very first episode.
I love how they made a show out of the extra actors that didnt die yet
Same. He’s a bit behind.
Or in Sara's case have died
and then they just kill them. Like Snart, Stein, Rip. Or they just go off the show when it was their chance to get big. Like Jax, Ray, Nora.
@@carsonshutts3599 Do Ray and Nora really leave? :(
Gergő Deés yeah in season 5.
Alex: "Wow this is really something"
Me: Just wait until Bebo comes along
Honestly the best moment of the show yet
Lol I think it’s spelled beebo
BEEBO LOVES YOUUU

Watching legends of tomorrow pilot without watching Arrow and the Flash is like watching Infinity War without seeing any Marvel film.

Excluding Hawkwoman and Hawkman who showed up in a 2 episode crossover 2 months before the shows premier

This is a really fun show to watch. I highly recommend DC's Legends of Tomorrow to anyone who really wants to get into time travelling in the DC Arrowverse franchise.
Fisher Theo, well excuse you,but I think you need to watch your mouth! The show is very interesting and I do recommend watching it.
the mancho kids Mancho Well excuse me, but you should respect other people's opinions and stop forcing your opinions on other people, kthx.
Neo-Xgray87 the show had an amazing season 3,I’m not even a huge LoT fan but it’s getting great
zProdigy™, I wasn't forcing my opinion and sorry if it sound like I did. I just said watch your language and then stated my own opinion.
Idc what other people say but Legends of Tomorrow is really my favorite from Arrowverse.
Now do Black Lightning.
Space Jew and marvels cloak and dagger
He'll have to. Just give it some time.
omg yes! lol
While he was fighting there was a rap song about him in the backround! that's so cringy. "Black lightning is awsome and cool blah blah blah he is back and he fights the bad guys" ok I exaggerated the lyrics a little bit but that's basically how it went down hahaha
SilverMoon459 oh please stop your making me cringe
Did you just call my sweet bi baby Sara a soccer mom?!?
do u wanna go attack him with me
Diana Kazakova yes
Azure Godess she’s a lesbian
Mattea MUA No she’s not...
Mattea MUA she's a bisexual😚
You DID NOT just call SARA FRICKIN LANCE A SOCCER MOM.
Why
srsly like W H Y
Ya know "not Doctor Who" was actually on Doctor Who. His actor was the 11th Doctor's aquaintence's husband. So yeah.
Floppy Potter He's also the Doctor's father in law.
Arthur Darvill's done better roles, to be fair. Like the priest in Torchwood.
Acquaintance? Really?
AnymousScreams
Wasn't torchwood like a Dr Who spinoff or some shit? That's weird.
You mean from Broadchurch.
"Like, why is this scene even here?"
That one scene is basically what the show becomes and why it becomes such a better show after this season.
sara is anything but a “soccer mom” i don’t even know what to say to that😂 she’s a badass
She is the time mom tho 😂
@@maya_htrabkcah now she is
Alex: sorry I misspoke, I meant to say "Homewrecker"
@@ericstorm6582 lol
Legends of Tomorrow is my favourite of the CW DC shows, It just goes off the walls and the more insane it gets the more I love it! Voltron Bebo and Magical Theme Parks included!!!
Just a normal league of assassins trained soccer mom.😂
Nikki Kitty If her and Nyssa had a baby Sara would definitely be a "Soccer Mom" but until then time travelling badass will have to do.
See them too often
from season 2 on it's such an amazing show, meaning as soon as the Hawks are gone xD. just you wait until Beebo arrives
Squiiplepaii yep, the one and only huge, cuddly, blue norse god and plushie Beebo 😂 only Legends of Tomorrow would do such a thing
Beebo is hungry ... for blood.
This is great! I find Legends to be the most fun of the DC shows!
The more out there the more fun. We've got enough grounded hero shows, let's just have fun.
LoT fans know the Real pilot is actually halfway through season 3, when the show actually starts
A soccer mom... 😂
he just completely ignored the fact that she's a trained assasin and just labeled her a soccer mom i'm laughing so hard
I must be getting old if she’s now considered a soccer mum....
rose novel she drives her kids around?
a badass one at that
Sexiest soccer mum alive tho
Caity Lotz is THICCC! !
actually they got into a bar fight because that guy was harrsing Sara
But it had no reason plot-wise. Whatsoever.
@@nadiamozerhusain4259 Who cares...
@@VersaucerCoff _Alex Meyers_ . When he said "for no reason", I'm pretty sure he meant that it was a pointless action sequence that didn't affect the characters, plot, had no tension, and didn't have any consequences.
aye
@kemuael men have no buisness existing.
Sarah Lance is probably not the character you would describe as being a "soccer mum".
Callum Hadden exactly , when he said I was hold the fuck up
I wouldn’t want Season 1 Sara near any kid.
She is female jack harkness in ost characteristics, but an assasin.
Back in season one this show tried to be serious, but once they embraced the cheesiness, it got so much better (around season three)
It’s Rory!! Guess he really liked time travel
Dammit Rory, go get the real Doctor!
I need to know, is this a My Babysitter's a Vampire reference..?
I haven't watched a lot of shows/movies, nor this show, so.......
Edit: The actor who plays Rip Hunter(the captain) also plays Rory,one of the doctor's companions on Doctor Who.
Rip*
Oh my gosh thats what l thought rory is time traveling now lol
Sara Lance is the most bad ass person in the arrowverse and he reduced her to “Soccer mom” smh
Lmfao most badass.. yeah sure whatever you say.
Badass? Why cuz she kisses girls? This show is straight garbage lol
Lol... you haven’t seen season 3 yet... “BEEBO LOVES YOU!!”
Hahaha indeed. Btw beebo hungry too
Beebo 4 Peresident
Stevieland 420 beebo 4 king
Beebo is the best thing evrr
am i the only one that was disappointed by the beebo thing
Sarah's the Multiverse's soccer mom now, I'm so proud tbh
Its her life now
Dc legends is underrated...
yeah but there isn't much going for the first season the hwkgirl stuff kind of ruined the first season but aside from her stuff the show is grate
SupernaturalCupcake Grate...
How bout agents of shield instead
jessica hunter never tried it, is it good?
Maya Roumie yesl if you watch it, the first few episodes are kiiinda dumb, but jus keep watching 😮
You should change all your video titles to weird "pilot" coz you can't judge an entire "show" by watching just an episode. It's like saying this book sucks coz i didn't like the first line.
Guide to Street Magic actually... TV shows have a structure that each episode follow. And the first paragraph of a book tells you if a book is good or not. Change my mind.
Personally, I would judge a show just by watching the first 10 episodes because I think it's enough to determine its quality.
Nega-Venom what if there's only 8 episodes in the series?
Crazy Rogue
Eh it's only 2 numbers less but I think it's still enough to judge it.
Nega-Venom But if it only has 8 episodes you would be judging it by its whole first series. Seems like a waste of time if the first 2 episodes didn't catch you (including the pilot)
3:40
I know this ain’t a good excuse but they did set up all of these characters in advance on Arrow and The Flash.
Alex:Sara is a soccer mom
*TARGET AQQUIRED*
The soccer mom is Sara ( laurels sister aka the woman Oliver Queen took on the boat with him) she allegedly “died”
Sara has been considered dead on three separate occasions.
CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CALLED SARA LANCE A SOCCER MOM 😂😂😂👌
Anzy right she is literally anything but a soccermom
She moves on with everything(typically female), she is a lot like jack harkness from dr who, including coming back from the dead.
basically the arrow companion version of dick grayson just like he was batman sidekick
Ya, but lets face it, she ends up being the "time mom"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
IKR
This show gets SO MUCH BETTER in season 2! Then in season 3 they truly find their own vibe that sets them apart from the other, darker DC shows, and makes it one of my favourite TV shows ever! Season 3 is really funny and just-the-right-amount-of-weird, and looks deeper into each character's individuality and their relationships (and the finale is one of the best things I have ever seen, if you've seen it you know what I mean lol) Also there's lot of queer and racial diversity! :D
Zoe B beebo wants hugie!!
Zoe B Exactly it's like the writers don't even pretend anymore to take anything seriously 😂😂😂
Question: *Will I be confused if I watch this show without having seen Arrow?* I don't plan on watching Arrow but I wonder if I should watch this one becauss people say it gets better (instead of worss, which a lot of shows do) and because people say it gets weird and that's so my thing, lol.
Question 2: Do you think I'll miss out if I watch the show in a different language? I.e. *is there something really notable about a character's voice or something like that?* I'm currently watching Supernatural in German because my German is rusty. XD I have no problem with comprehention.
Thank you in advance! ^^
Essenagerry
Question 1: You can watch Legends without watching Arrow. I don’t think you will be confused. There are some references in the show and crossovers that requires you to watch the rest of the arrowverse shows to get, but the overall plot of the show is still easy to understand without knowing these.
Question 2: I don’t think you’ll miss out if you watch it in another language but I’m not sure as I’ve never set it to another language lol. There’s nothing really notable about any characters voice, I just am not sure as I have never heard Legends in a different language.
essennagerry no and no
I 100% agree with you. This is the weirdest show I've ever seen and I love it lmao, they can do the craziest things and actually get away with it.
White canary is any thing but a soccer mom
I thought Barry invented Gideon? Or Am i like going crazy
Blake Fletcher it’s complicated but yah
Blake Fletcher nah Barry did
He did, well he will in the future but you know bc of all this time traveling thing idk what gonna happend
Yess he did! But the ship and rip hunter are both from the future FUTURE. therefor gideon has existed for awhile!
EOBARD THWANE INVENTED THIS KNOCK OFF VERAION IF SIRI
Season 1 had some drama but was good. My Season 3 was hilarious. I was laughing so loud at the humor.
Yes AVALANCE! They are the cutest thing I have ever seen. 🤗🤗
Yh i think lot just keeps getting better
Nah season 2 was a master piece
Season 3 dropped the ball
Season 3 of LoT was the best out of the all CWDC show that year in my opinion. It is the one I enjoyed the most and S3 was the best season on LoT. Let's see what season 4 brings :)
Season 3 was AWESOME with great characters and development. I am definitely looking forward to season 4!
The fact that he calls Sara a soccer mom is hilarious 😂
She would probably impale him with her bo staff if he said that to her.
@@supportedlivingnetwork2481 true she hilarious
@@supportedlivingnetwork2481 true it is hilarious
1:00
Maybe, but the actor who plays Rip Hunter also played a companion of the doctor named Rory for two and a half season.
Thats why he calls rory the pyromantic Mr rory.
Captain cold :'(
Hell Nawww MY BABY BOY DESERVED BETTER 😭
Actually, this show is AWESOME. “It’s basically a Saturday morning cartoon come to life.” YES and it’s so much fun! To be fair, the first season is not great, but the past two seasons have been absolute joy. Also Sara Lance is the best character in all of the Arrow/Flash shows.
That's not saying much.
When he asked why the bar fight was happening......I REALLY wanted to comment something like "Wait until you finish watching the show. You'll know exactly WHY it's happening." This show RELISHES in the fact that it's just balls-to-the-wall nonsense! And it's all the better for it! IT GAVE US BEEBO!!!!
Tariq Thomas meg I wouldn’t say season 1 sucked I liked it a little more then season 3 but season 2 was my favorite
I completely agree with everything you just said
She is a good lead, i am devided on the best character there is rory, snart was great, Amaya, Stein, Ray Palmer, Damien Darkh, Rip is good too, after he isnt takes so seriosly anymore, and he can sing Karaoke
There's actually a Prison Break reference in the show in one episode where they have to break some members of the crew and Wentworth Miller says "relax this isn't my first Prison Break"
There's another one in season 3. Dominic Purcell says "Prison break...... I'm in."
there are so many inside jokes and references you could make with Rory being the "not Doctor Who" guy and that might be the only reason for me to watch this show
*Rip
@@Shoe_with_no_laceYes but the same actor played "Rory" on Doctor Who before he played "Rip" on LoT.
5:26 I fell in love with a Scottish woman with ginger hair and then we had a baby girl who then grew up to be my wife's friend's wife and it was super awkward for all of us and ever since that day I decided I will time travel alone with an AI so I won't be able to have any romantic feelings for it and bang it. It didn't work.
Season 3 of Legends is AMAZING, like I hope you get to that sometime
Mr. Books it really is the best so far
Mr. Books Lol what I thought it was the most ridiculous 😂 I mean that giant Beebo though 😂😂
+91claire This is kind of the point...Legends after its rocky start embraced its weirdness and that is why so many people love it.
kibert135 Yeah I think the writers gave up on taking the show seriously....they were like....we've been struggling with consistency and logic since day one so fck it....here's giant beebo and that's a WRAP on season 3!
+91claire What exactly is your problem? Just because it is ridicoulus doesn't mean it isn't consitent. If you are looking for a brooding show like season 1 was, you should stop watching. Legends found its niche and a lot of people (including me) love the show for it. There are many shows out there for your taste but acting like the type of show Legends wants to be makes it a bad show doesn't seem fair to me.
2:35 You can obviously tell they wanted Morgan Freeman to play this role, but could not afford Morgan Freeman
I love this show but I'm still mad because Leonard Snart died😢
Fuck you Bitch for spoiling
I mean you could have easily put spoiler and then said that what a dick move
Chill guys, we don’t know *how* he dies right?
@@shsltrash6685 he sacrificed himself

This show is a one big reference with time travel. And our fandom just fall in that.
You have forgot black lightning
Coldboy33 it's doodoo
No it isn’t
no it's not doodoo
I actually happen to like it a lot
"Not doctor who"'s actor actually played a companion
i don’t even watch the show, i just love his humour and animation
Hailey Alice Watch the show. But be warned, Seasons 2 and 3 are soooo much better
Hailey Alice You should it's good
same
I say watch Arrow and The Flash first , Because those are the characters from those shows , So basically...We didn't just meet them from episode 1 of Legends of tommorow
Same, I don’t like any of DC’s movies so I won’t be watching this like ever, marvel is so much better
There's Black Lightning you haven't watched, it's pretty new so you mabye haven't heard of it.
When you realize rip was in doctor who traveling with Matt aka 11th doctor.
I'm just imagining a "what if" scenario where Rip dated Karen Gillan's Nebula from the Guardian movies
And funnier when you realize he stole the 10th doctor's coat look
6:05 they actually solve this problem by saying you can travel back to a time where you already have been without imploding the timeline and whatnot.
Tbh, season 1 is utter crap, but seasons 2 and 3 embrace it’s ridiculousness and it’s just great
Jodiejg76 Yeah I pretty much agree with that
Jodiejg76 eh one is pretty good
Nobody who watches this show or LIKES this show will disagree with you on that title, Alex :p
This show is one of my favorite shows ever, especially after Season Three, and even I will freely admit that this show goes batshit insane later in S1, S2, and S3 in the best possible way.
Well, just because someone calls a show weird doesn't mean they don't like it.
Oh I'm well aware. As I mentioned, I think the show has gone completely insane and I love it.
Oh I'm well ware of that.
*cough* season 3 finale *cough*
Santi Ramirez that's the main example I was thinking of.
Calling Sarah a soccer mom is like calling a pterodactyl a bird. First of all no. While potentially you could call it that....it is not
Tori-Jay Yes!!
I could do a looooong video about the bad writing of this show, but for some stupid reason I am hooked and I keep watching it.
Rip did try to save his family using the time ship many times but the thing is the result stays the same they die same manner everytime. he also tried to kill Savage before he was immortal but failed. Since he avoids going to same place in time at same time which will create a paradox , and Savage is always in hiding so he kinda needed help. this show has its plot holes but you should really do your research.
yes, rip can't go back to the same time as before, so why not one day earlier, or two. Doesn't really make sense to try and say go to 1979, not get it right and proclaim that 1979 is off limits to ever try again. These shows can't be based of realistic realities because they wouldn't last long. Can't beat him as a adult, easy, go back and kill the baby, or the parents, or their parent's parent's. Don't wanna kill them? That's easy as well, kidnap them, put them in a random time. Salvage becomes what he is because he loved a girl from one civilization that didn't love him back, snatch him up as a baby and give him to another family in another civilization. Different upbringing, different person.
I scrolled through just to find this comment...Thank You
Gummie Bear but fucking with Vandal before he was immortal (thousands of years ago) would fuck the entire timeline and might lead to Rip never even meeting his family. He’s trying to keep the timeline before Vandals takeover in the future un messed up.
i don't get this paradox thing, the flash has interacted with his past self on more than one occasion and there was no paradox.
@@helldatrev there actually was. Just 2 seasons later.
So you didn't actually watch the show, just the pilot episode,then nitpicked elements that are explained later...
Scott Reacher He always only watches the pilot. Take his stuff with a grain of salt. Think of it like a cinemasins but tv shows and animations.
I've only seen the first episode and it was too cringy for me to continue. Im sure it probably gets better. Similar to The 100 (another show Alex didnt watch too far into before making his video), it probably starts off really weird and stiff, but gets interesting later on. But both are equally fun to make jokes about in good fun.
It's not that deep
I LOVE the 100 low-key my 3rd favorite show. (I have to go with the Office and Friends, nothing I can do.)
Thomas White it got a little wild for me after the whole AI business and i got exhausted. But the first two seasons were amazing
Little did Alex know... By the 3rd season Legends of Tomorrow would be the only good Arrowverse show.
"The soccer mom" What the actually?!?:D
To be fair, Sara DOES end up keeping everyone on a leash. So the title is accurate
Ben Wasserman yeah but shes hot and kicks ass so... yeah “soccer mom” makes sense
Oddly enough,(big spoilers for season two or so of this show) the "save your family from Vandal Savage" point WAS addressed later in the show; he tried that first, a hundred times, and failed every time.
5:42 he tried that and it didn't work he literally said those things but they still die. You can't judge a tv show by the first episode
There is a reason you watch the entire series… if you watch the entire series you’ll learn that Rip Hunter has tried to save his family MULTIPLE TIMES but, every time they DIE!
Everyone needs to start watching this show from the 2nd season. It is legit one of the best shows on air right now, it rolls with the cheesy nature so well it's unbelievable. The improvement in quality from season 1 to 2 is incredible.
Legends is definitely the best out of the Arrowverse shows.
ITs Baird definitely the most fun 😅
I mean my personal fave is Black Lightning but I respect your opinion
ill be honest, thats not saying much
The only one that's really good currently is Arrow, the rest of them fell off
Some Crazed Nerd they're not in the arrowverse
6:09 wrong there are no plotholes, because all the have to say is ''flashpoint'' and all is forgiven, kinda
That’s just lazy writing
😂
Gavin Allerton he doesnt have lazy writing you ass
Well it's kinda genius though. It's give them a free pass for everything.
rip wants to save the world in the process aswell
Season One was strange, but once they quit being serious, it got so much funnier
You think the first episode is weird? wait until you reach the season 3 finale.
Julio Cabrera BEEBO
May have been weird but by far the best finale across all dc hero shows. I love supergirl, flash, and arrow but this show has skyrocketed since the very first episode.
So true
Tunxh No it’s not the best is the Season 5 finale of Arrow.
