not to be too harsh on the (already) naysayers up in this piece but: give the fucking thing a chance. yikes. 2 episodes in, people. TWO. i know y'all are discerning as fuck and know ur own tastes and what not but...TWO episodes.
the action set pieces alone are miles above both Flash and Arrow, and executed pretty darn nicely. reminds me of how much Arrow's action scenes used to kick as much ass before we started getting this highly-telegraphed lacking-in-any-ferocity piss-poor fights over the last two seasons. LoT already has that on lock. got White Canary & a young Prof. Stein "smoking doobies", which i didn't think the show would even touch, let alone devote so much time to. lotsa fun. yknow, i was into the whole Hawkman/Hawkgirl thing, but they've made them such shitty warriors that it's no fucking wonder Savage has killed em so many damn times already. aren't the Hawk peeps sposed to be furious wrecking balls when it comes to fighting? Carter went out like a chump, and Kendra wasn't far behind. out of the ensemble they're the least i care about. Rip is a great misfit type hero and captain for what is essentially another 'ragtag group' dynamic which, when done right, works a treat.
and again, going against majority opinion (on here anyways), i LOVE Miller and Purcell as Snart and Mick. actually Snart in general has been hecka fun to watch. just the way he SPEAKS is frign hilarity, whilst having that old school villain tone to it. and it's gonna be cool to flesh Mick out a bit more so he's not just a lunkhead.
this iteration of Firestorm has been great. Jax kicks ass. one of the best sfx they've done from Flash and here has been Firestorm, w/out a doubt. and i been a fan of Brandon's version of Ray since jump. dude's too likable not to like.
i def agree that Arrow has taken huge dips in quality over the last two seasons, the reasons for which are numerous and pointless in discussing in a LoT thread. Flash has remained consistent. Legends is a different animal: epic and potentially endless scope, mostly done with a light-hearted non-chalance cos hey, they're no heroes. and just cos the premise was sort of a lie (as told to us by CW and as told to the characters by Rip), doesn't mean these guys don't have what it takes to BE legends (before the 'cement hardens', as per Rip's time metaphor).
i'd give the shit at least half the season before making ur mind's up so damn quick, but that's just me.
(end note: Caity Lotz is the shit).
