Gideon licking her fingers after snacking as they were rushing out the door was so precious.

I always think they should send all the women to Themyscira. It would be funny if that’s how the island replenished its supply of women-warriors: they wait for The Legends to drop off new recruits every so often.

And my favorite low-key hilarious moment was how, after Sara and Ava kissed, Ava immediately knew what was bothering the crowd: “We’re not sisters.” She knew that fake news was going to come back to haunt them!

They literally broke time at the end of S2. That’s what they do, break the timeline and then fix it, and in fixing, break it again. 

The Legends DO have an album!

Yeah, making Gary integral to the Legends and not just the perennial butt monkey really did wonders for his character. Also the show needed another guy for Nate to riff off of for this scene, and it might’ve felt awkward if Behrad was talking about his alt-timeline sister.

It was a fun outing. I do wonder if Eddie will have more consequences. He can afford to rent a place that isn’t mob owned now, but he still has to get booze from somewhere. On the other hand, Capone’s a business man. As long as Eddie toes the line in future, he may be find selling him liquor.

Here’s the thing, and critics never ever seem to get this.

The MCU is a TV show with episodes that come out every six months or so instead of every week.

Think of Star Trek: TNG/DS9. Different episodes featured different characters and there’d be a few “big” events around sweeps or season finales.

Because nobody wants another Fan4stic or Solo: A Star Wars Story, or Star Wars: The Last Jedi, where they hire a director for cachet their name brings but then the whole thing turns into a shit show where the tone of the movie is at complete odds with the viewer expectations and general franchise image. Nobody wants

Edgar Wright (who is awesome, and I really liked Last Night in Soho) has basically said that he didn’t give a shit about fitting Ant-Man into the larger MCU story. Which, that sounds nice and all, but you don’t hire a director to direct episode 17 of a TV series if they aren’t going to give a shit about what happened

I think the MCU trusts their directors if they happen to fit in with the house style tonally already. James Gunn and Taika came in being known for fun and irreverent films. So those movies fit in with the directors’ filmographies, but they were also hardly doing anything that Marvel wouldn’t normally do.

A series of monocles popped from my eyes upon reading that sentence.

One thing nobody has mentioned is there were no scenes with John Constantine. So that is a bit strange.

Dahrk’s best line, talking on the phone to a younger version of himself (who doesn’t know that the guy on the other end is an older version):

I’m sure that Janeway will teach them important lessons about Starfleet. Such as if two of your officers merge into a single, independent, gestalt being; said being has absolutely no rights and can be murdered for literally any reason.

“I always hoped I’d get to go on a Legends mission in real life. Always hoped it’d be one of the Westerns. But this is fun, too.”

(Can I please please pleeezzzee get out of the greys? Thank you.)

Man, this was a great trip down ole Legends lane. It was really great seeing Grey, Snart, and Rip again, especially with their heartbreaking sacrifices, each of which has heavily contributed to the reasons why the Legends are still going.
