AT LAST-- a thread for us anal complainey, never-satisfied 'toon fans to lament over missed opportunities in the LSH cartoon!


Others have mentioned the missed chance to have the space-monster Supes fought in the T-Wolf ep be the Super-Moby Dick of Space.

Also missed was a chance to have planet Rhal be Zoon.

In the Legacy ep, the Scavengers should have been either the Resource Raiders, the Sklarian Pirates or the Starburst Bandits.

Quis, Esq noted that the "Cort" Alexis disses should have been "Lester"!

What Legion-related chances are missed from the first ep, which I haven't seen yet?

And we can post further crushing disappointments here as more episodes are aired. Fun! [Big Grin]

They threw quite a few Easter Eggs in the first episode. I am not sure they could have had more.

They could have had cameos of Pete Ross and Lana Lang at the fair scene. Maybe even have Lana looking at an insect exhibit.

^^I think that dumb jock and his girlfreind in the fair scene of "Man of Tomorrow" were the cameos of Pete and Lana, but I'm not sure. I don't really have any complaints about the series yet, since it's impressed me so far, but youre right, MLLASH, they shouldn't have changed Zuun to Rhal.

How Timber Wolf get along with Ultra Boy while he's on Rimbor.

They could've worked in a runaway Gorpo at the fair in the first episode!

The Scavengers should've been led by that Scavenger guy who was a Kon-El villain!

LASH, you should have called this thread "Legion of Missed OpporTOONities"... [Smile]

In the most recent episode, when the Scavengers were fighting Superman, I dearly wished one of them said something like "What is this guy? A sprocking Daxamite?"

So far, I believe that ALL of the unnamed background characters should have been someones from the nearly 50 years of Legion comics. I mean, yeah, sometimes background extras are just extras, but it'd be more fun if the extras were someones.

I haven't seen the first ep yet, but I *know* this is inexcusable! [Gorpo]

Heh-- looks like I had a missed opportunity of my own, Omni!

Dean, I tend to agree with you. There's really no reason why even the most piddling background character couldn't have been SOMEone from the Lore.
