>gets into a relationship with a mentally ill man because his mental illness makes him interesting + he has super powers>gets chubby 1 year into the relationship>blames her man for being kidnapped by her future self>"yeah i know an evil guy was controlling your body but your body was smiling while killing people so you're evil too!">accuses him of rape outta nowhere because he took away the evil guy's implanted delusion from her mind then they had consensual sex>season 3 has everyone acting as if the main character is a rapist and evil because of this>ending has her acting smug and as if she's a good personIs this the most accurate portrayal of a woman in media?
he didn't take away any implanted delusion, he literally erased her memories so she didn't hate him anymore
>>220361357Syd fell into the pit (presumably created by Farouk) and Melanie (controlled by Farouk) started feeding her stuff about how Farouk is actually a gift while showing David torturing Farouk in Oliver's body, that the monster in David's head wasn't a bad thing, how David cheated on Syd with her future self, etc.
>>220361520but david did torture oliver. he did end the world in the alt timeline. it all happened, it wasn't a delusion. the show is called Legion, not David Haller the misunderstood telepath
>>220361279she got fat fat
>>220361600He tortured a possessed Oliver, once Farouk left the body he stopped torturing him.What happened in Chapter 18 with Farouk-possessed Melanie showing Syd stuff is basically this. Of course David would be happy torturing Farouk-possessed Oliver because Farouk would be in pain and Farouk tormented him for his entire life.
>>220361357farouk had melanie mindfuck syd.
>>220361632yeah
Season 1 was absolutely amazing, what the fuck happened in Season 2 and 3? I liked parts of Season 2 and time travel stuff with time demons were fun, but David's story went to shit so quickly at the end of Season 2. What were they thinking. They were hunting Farouk all Season 2 and then instantly forgiven him and allied with him in the last episode, I remember thinking he's manipulating them all, but no, Season 3 shows being a good guy for some reason. Did I miss something? Why was he suddenly became good at the end of Season 2?
>>220362046I'm a little high, sorry for mistypes.
>>220362046david erased farouk from time after he realized he'd jammed lenny into his sister's body. The "what if" episode is him reordering causality to try to prevent his sister from suffering or dying horribly. the rat singing fool for love in the office is farouk trying to get back into existing again. That was the "before" when farouk said he'd been between realities before.
>>220362046I didn't understand Farouk doing a 180 at all. There was zero character development between "I want to kill you because I don't need your body anymore, I have mine" and "my beautiful baby boy".I remember one scene in S2 where he infected people with the delusion-tar-creatures but I think that was solved? I gotta rewatch.Maybe Farouk was being utilitarian? He knows he can't possibly defeat David because he has Switch, "To answer, I must ask how do you surprise someone who can go back in time and warn himself?" so the best answer is to convince the enemy not to fight?It has a lot of flaws.
>>220362306david's goal is to kill farouk, farouk's goal is to survive at any cost. this gives farouk a huge advantage because his goal is much simpler and has more ways it can be accomplished.
It's really interesting how she looks very similar to Cailee Spaeny, except more milfy.It's like they're sisters or they are playing the same person but in two different time periods.
>>220362363Yeah, I can get the motivation behind Farouk wanting to stop the fight because he knows he can't win but the series makes it so Farouk has an actual change of heart and starts caring about David as if he was his own kid.Which didn't happen in the 30+ years he was inside David's head tormenting and torturing him and killing millions of people, but... suddenly he has an actual change of heart that isn't shown to be fake at all?I get that his goal is to survive no matter what, but the actual change of heart played as sincere comes outta nowhere.
>>220362409its interesting how you're completely faceblind
>>220361279I don't know who that is. I have no idea what you're talking about.
>>220362409I can somewhat see on the top right of the thumbnail if I view it with my phone, but not much.
>>220362475it isn't sincere as much is its what he actually has to do. he learns in season 2 that if he actually pushes david, david will just erase him from existing. So he turns everyone against david and then turns david against himself.
>>220362563It is sincere thought, in Season 3 we see current time Farouk scolding past Farouk, calling him bitter and then shows him his future. which, for some reason, makes past Farouk turn good as well.Also I just remember another stupid plot point. When David goes back in time, hoping to change the past so he would never go insane, Syd and Kerry think their timeline gets erased and they'll "die", but once they reach the past and find baby David, Syd for some reason wants to stay there and raise David so he doesn't turn evil, which would still erase their timeline. Shit made no sense
>>220362748>which, for some reason, makes past Farouk turn good as well.the reason is "this nigger can and will just erase you from existence."
>>220362789Really didn't seem that way, I just rewatched that scene, Farouk was literally crying after seeing his future, he's not changing just to not die, it genienly seems like he experienced change of heart for better. If it really is just because he wants to survive they should've showed it better and it still doesn't explain why Division 3 insantly trusted Farouk at the end of Season 2
>>220362563It seemed sincere to me as the other anon said. The whole "my beautiful boy" thing with Farouk holding baby David on his lap trying to retroactively seem as if Farouk ever gave a shit about baby David.Past Farouk actually weeping a tear outta nowhere when seeing what present-Farouk did.That's the main issue for me. This feeling that Farouk feels for David in S3 is played as an actual paternal feeling, not just survival.
>>220363486Well, your opponent is an omnipotent time traveling mind reader who wants you dead. You kinda don’t have a choice, it has to be genuine or he’ll erase you from existence, again.
>>220361279>Couple gets together>Hollywood panics as that is the classic "jump the shark" moment>Breaks them up because they can't think of anything that might involve them staying together, except as a lob for the idiot fans at the very last second.Bravo, Hollywood!
>>220364359I think Noah Hawley just became retarded after 2017 or something because Legion in 2018 was shit, Fargo S4 onwards was meh and Alien Earth is pure garbage.
>>220364359The entire show quickly devolves into theater drama kid bullshit with characters just "playing off" each other over and over with nothing going on.>>220364501Same shit happened in Alien:Earth. Just a bunch of "I'm acting!" moments that were borderline idiotic.
>>220361279>>220362409Jeez, I thought that was Victoria Pedretti, and I thought VP in Forbidden Fruits was Jane Levy...
>>220361279I still hate how fucking quickly they all turned on David on the word of his ARCHNEMESIS WHO MINDFUCKED THEM ALL EPISODES EARLIER>>220361520>>220361600Did you watch a recap video or the actual episode? Farouk set David up and it fucking worked, and I can't believe it just stuck
>>220362483you fuckers always say this shit buts its you people who are faceblind. you can never see any similarities between anyone.
>>220365271that's fair i guess, but i still think she looks way closer to rebecca ferguson than spaeny
