DC's Legends of Tomorrow (2016–2022)
Season 01, Season 02: Went from Bad to Really Good
10 April 2017
#Season01

The show had potential, then lost it and now it ends with new potential. Still better than #Arrow's Season 04 by a wide margin.

Basically, an entire season where very little happened in terms of the chronological events in the time-line. And very little good was done. The show was slow, filled with cheesy dialogues and a constant splitting of team which led to more trouble for the team.

Then, there was this #AncientEgypt mythology which was the centre for the show. Which caused huge discomfort for the #ComicBook origins. Instead of #Hawkgirl and #Hawkman being aliens who are never in love as in comics and don't get reborn, and instead #VandalSavage being a #Caveman gained #Immortality from #Meteor. It was all the wrong way, which led to a weak character portrayal of #Hawkgirl being the centre and key piece.

In the end, it was relieving to see that the show has distanced themselves from this wrong #Mythology as even the ending episodes had contradicted their earlier established story arcs. But, as the ending was near, the show got good, focusing on wrapping up this wrong path of start and now there is potential once again for #Season02, if there is one.

One of the key gems of the show, was the lush costumes and set designing and visual effects for a TV show, which led to the show being helped in being held on just long enough to establish itself properly.

#Season02

After a very confused and mangled #Season01, the show has risen from the ashes to deliver a very fun, exciting and humor-filled season, that turned out to be the best of the #DC #TVshows on air, even better than #TheFlash.

One of the reasons of its #Success, was simply the use of the best charismatic characters of the #ArrowVerse to deliver a dynamic team of villains that really put a whole other level of #Beat on the show, that the other #DCshows are missing (#excluding #Flash's 1st #Season).

The show maintained a really good balance of Dark characters and the theme of the show, which is that of a cheerful adventure. But the show never forgot that in the end, the story is dark and the stakes are very much fatal for the #Protagonists.

Even the #VisualEffects were pretty good this season, and they had to be, as #ReverseFlash's involvement and his grand scheme demanded them to be. The most memorable things this season, were the blurring of lines between different #Genres in reality, involving the use of #StarWars and #TheHobbit.

Overall, the show was fun and had enough cheesiness in it, to be always being able to deliver #Entertainment, but the show did employ the use of #CommutativeLaw a lot, especially in the end, but it never became too #Goofy. One more amazing thing, was the proper build-up of the story, character arcs and their ends, which only enhanced the story. The most styled character, this show made us realise, was #WhiteCanary, with impressively #Choreographed fight sequences and #BattlePoses, that slayed many #Hearts.

In the end, a very much recommended show, because of a very entertaining season 02.
