So, the toys will be based on the first season, but several of the looks will be different on the show when they actually come out. Isn't that potentially confusing, especially to kids who didn't see the first season?
I understand the need for change and growth, but there have only been 13 episodes so far. I think there was still plenty to establish before going off in a new direction.
This is like OYL in the comics, and seeing as how that was a huge creative failure in the books I buy (or have stopped buying or got canceled because of said failure), in my opinion, I'm quite leery about it for the cartoon.

Rebooted 'toon?!? Well at least they're keeping with Legion tradition...
Wait so are there gonna be 2 different Superman-boys? The one from the past and the clone one? Garth's new look is cool. Timberwolf's looks bleh.

Actually, to me, it makes sense. This way they can keep releasing newer figures of the same characters. Its how you make money in the toy biz.

I think they are trying for an older demographic, which is fine with me, but I HATE clones!

I think that just might be an animation mistake.
Anyway, I've been on some other forums, and quite a lot of the reactions have been surprisingly positive. This doesn't mean I'm still not skeptical on what effect these changes will have on the series, though.

CONTAINING MULTITUDES Alex Serra and J Torres will be the regular team on the Johnny DC "Legion" book from issue #10. As the cartoon has been revamped for the second season for an older audience, the comic will follow. It's the Legion anniversary next year, and there's quite a lot riding on Legion as a franchise.

You realize what this is going to do for the 10 year old fans of season 1, don't you?
They're just indoctrinating into the club each generation of LSH fandom comes to (though rarely this quick). Just imagine a veritable army of 6th graders saying,
"THOSE GUYS ARE NOT MY LEGION!!
I Demand TBTB Re-Un-Semi-Revert-Boot the toon."

Gotta start those Legion factions up young. None of us are getting any younger and we need the next generations to carry on.
