Do you have any opinion on the Legion of super heroes?
on any presentation, from that cartoon that I forgot existed until recently, or the comics from any era?
>>
I remember the triple girl being really cute.
>>
>>155777972
I like the concept of super heroism making a comeback as a teen fad in the future and reestablishing itself. The cartoon had some cool designs, but the production was a shit show and I think the suits demanded more superman so they added another superman from the even further future.

That one straight to DVD Super Girl/Legion movie cartoon was pretty good, the artstyle was one of my favourites from that time.
>>
>>155777972
I barely remember anything about this show but I remember really liking it and that Braniac 5 was my favorite character. I had a toy of him and was heartbroken by his evil arc
>>
>>155777972
I have a fondness for the Reboot Legion.

They're dorky and boring. Glad they haven't been apart of Superman's backstory for 40 years. L.E.G.I.O.N. should've been their post-crisis replacement.

Ah, yes. The Legion of Smilers. Thank god they got replaced.

It had a cool intro, it's unfortunate that they were not able to use "Superboy" due to legal disputes

The one-two punch of Byrne's MoS removing them of the main continuity and the Bierbaum's terrible writing choices killed the franchise for good.

"Brainiac" is a title given to the smartest Coluan. Brainiac 5 is Querl Dox, the great-grandson of Brainiac 2, Vril Dox. Last time I checked Vril Dox was a clone of the original Brainiac but I don't know if that's been changed post-N52

>OG Legion
Introduced in the 50s, continues until the 90s, gets erased from existence during the Zero Hour event
>Reboot/Archie Legion
Entirely new timeline after Zero Hour, starts from the beginning all over again. Has some changes from the original but doesn't stray hugely away from "classic" Legion style stuff. Eventually gets cancelled
>Threeboot
Another new timeline, another new start. This version of the Legion has them and the United Planets government much more openly antagonistic towards each other. Eventually also gets cancelled
>Retroboot/Post-Crisis Legion
In a shocking turn of events, Geoff Johns reverts characters back to how they were when he was a kid. Johns' Legion is basically the exact same as the OG Legion for all intents and purposes, they're just from separate timelines. Continues into the New 52, eventually cancelled
>Rebirth
Bendis takes a run at the Legion, new timeline, new start. It is steaming garbage
>This Current Shit
New timeline, new start. Looks like it'll be pulling from Threeboot in that the Legion are going to be actively against the current social order. Seems cool so far. Seen "Legacyboot" as a potential name but that sucks

My opinion is a positive one. LOSH was set in the gee whilikers era of science fiction, and managed to not insult the reader's intelligence, mostly. Comic books were for children, but had a higher reading level. (that has kept up with the decline of civilization... and the lack of time we're allowed to enjoy things.) Mike Grell made the series fantastic.
The cartoon was as perfect as it could be. The after 2000 comics didn't lose the plot either. The LOSH was a young adult's support group, trying to put people where they could do good, in a world that hated them for being teenagers.

>>155788210
I like him, I actually had the idea if Superman X were ever brought into the comics he should be the reborn form of Conner or something

>Comic books were for children, but had a higher reading level. (that has kept up with the decline of civilization.
No, normalfag
>>
She wants that twink.

I think LOSH could actually have been a better starting point for a new DC movie universe. Supes being a teen and the Legion already knowing all about him makes them easier to get invested in when they have the same level of information the audience has and the fact it is an uncharted movie area of adaptation that could also tackle other Superman stuff in a new context. Sure you would eventually have to reconcile young Superman's time with the eventual time that comes where he's part of the Justice League but I think that would only increase interest for audiences. Also DC has always been more about concepts and ideas rather than characters. Later years had characters catch up and make use of these ideas in new realistic contexts like Marvel. But DC's overall wild umiverse with far out Sci-fi and magic is what I think is the main draw.
>>
Hey total Legion newbie here, why do they not go to a time where he's older and get a powerful Superman instead? Is the excuse is that the Legion getting Superboy is pre-ordained by history/time to take place because his time with the Legion molds him into being the Superman we know? Is that reason something retconned after the fact in some kino story I just made up in my head?
>>
>>155786219
They forgot that she isn't telekinetic
>>
>>155836427
Well, I assume they can pick Superman on a time they won't ruin the time line, and also, they kind of did that at the start of season 2.
They get Superman back, but they get a slightly older and stronger one.

If they don't do it, let's just assume it is because they can't

>>155808363
