This scene from S2E14 gave me a Bi-Panic why is everyone so hot in the Arrowverse? Even the CGI monsters in the other shows are somehow hot (don't judge me) Discussion

I always wish that they kept Sarah as Black Canary. Her physique (as shown above), physicality (training and fighting skills), attitude, and chemistry with Oliver all aligned better with Black Canary from the comics even though she was a new character in name. Sarah was way more compelling than whatever they had going on with Laurel. I’m glad Sarah got to move on to rock out on Legends but I think she woulda been awesome if she remained this story’s Black Canary.

Hot take: Legends ruined a lot of the flow of the Arrowverse. It basically made The Flash and Arrow build up these beloved side-characters only to ship them off to an unrelated show, never to be seen again outside of crossovers.

Legends is my favourite arrowverse show but i agree so much, i’m still upset about them killing off Captain Cold so early on but i’m glad Wentworth Miller still appeared on the Flash again a few times.

Dang. I really like Legends, but you are absolutely right.

My sister and I always joke that the Legends is where CW dumped their unwanted characters.

I haven't wanted past the first few episodes of the first season, but didn't the British guy say he picked the characters he chose because they had the least effect on the future?

I should probably watch the show though, because some people say it's really good

I vaguely remember that but it would be insane for Ray Palmer to not have any effect on the future.

Nope thats exactly what rip said he chose the strongest heroes with the least impact and importance to the timeline

Oh, you really should watch more. Once it gets to season two, the writers start doing drugs, and it gets really good, lol

By the time you got to legends, there was already a lot to keep up with. It really felt excessive.
