DC's Legends of Tomorrow - 08/24/19 12:30 AM
You know, for kind of being the red-headed step-child of the Arrowverse, Legends has evolved into what I feel has become the funnest, most entertaining and most inventive of the increasingly otherwise dour Arrowverse shows.
I mean, you can watch an average episode and check off a lot of things about the show has going against it: pretty terrible CGI, cheesy B-movie plots and villains, spotty acting, the heroes rarely use their super-powers, and so on and so on and so on.
But, damn, if every episode of the past couple of seasons hasn't been an absolute hoot to watch! There are LOL moments every hour and just a fun, "anything goes" kind of vibe to it.
It was a show that struggled to find its identity its first couple of season. Then, things started to click in season 3 as the show began to find its madcap identity. The recently-finished season 4 solidified this tone and absolutely nailed it, while still peppering in moments of true feeling and loss.
I really like what LoT has grown into, and I hope it keeps on this course. The Arrowverse really needs this show to be what it is now, and I hope some of you will either give it a chance or share your thoughts about it if you've been watching. I see it as representing what comics were to me as a kid and what I often wish they would be more often: fun, imaginative and wildly entertaining!
