Season One

I hated Lenny in season 2 and 3, they should have dumped her in season 1. I love Aubrey Plaza, but her role has been done for two seasons.

as much as i like the new seasons, i don't think anything will top the asylum episodes

Speaking of season 2, what the fuck were those tar chicken things supposed to be? Didn't they act like it was Farouk's doing but it turned out they were unrelated or something?

The delusion chickens? They were Farouk's doing, did you miss the fact he infected one guy, who then infected others, and they all went crazy until David cured them?

Has Xavier showed up in the show at all?

Yeah. S1> S3> S2, although S2 has peak moments that equal S1 and S3, like most of Farouk's scenes.

I think that I'm comparing LEGION to other cape-shows and not actual good television.
But season 2 is really great throughout IMO. Farouk's charisma is so powerful that it carried me through scenes that he wasn't in.
Farouk is Poochie done right

Yeah, it's like Hannibal where even the lows shit on most other shows. Though Legion at least was always meant for 3 seasons instead of being cut short.

"Pretentious" is the most brainlet-tier meaningless buzzword.

>Pretentious
This is important. Language, the meaning of things.

We got a whole episode of him in WW2

Might as well describe every piece of media in last 20 years

Go away Farouk.

>pretentious scenes that actually lead nowhere
That's basically 95% of the most recent episode, senpai.

Farouk on his own makes S2 worth watching, like Lenny did for S1.
S3 feels like they don't know what to do with both now. But it's fun, and visually stunning, at least.

S2 really ffitted the definition, with the "delusion" speeches each episode.

It kind of shows, but at least they're entertaining. I'm still wondering if S3 is going anywhere or not, though.

Season one was perfect mix of capeshit and psychological horror. Essentially a personal journey in forming yourself an identity. In this case, David going from being a medicated child to being a mutant with a gift. His romance also plays a part in this process. It's a metaphor about growing up and stopping to be a small child.

Season two got a bit pretentious but in the end it worked because a lot of the season was actually stylistically establishing that David was going through a further metamorphosis by slowly turning into a bad guy and how appearances can be deceptive, as how vice versa, Farouk goes from being the big bad guy to an anti-hero. It's about being a teenager and how your perception of the world starts to flip and distort, going away from naïveté of adolescence to having a much more nuanced and grey understanding of the world,

Season three has been a weirdly compelling story of how destructive arrogant narcissism is, and I'm fascinated to see how the hell the show is going to end. So far it seems to be about further spiritual growth to adulthood and how in order to do that we have to let go of our childish habits and juvenile desires, something that David currently is showing of being incapable to do as a selfish mama's boy, where as Lenny was able to evolve past her nearsighted hedonistic lifestyle through a brief experience in parenthood.

This is the last season, it's clearly going somewhere, it's just hard to predict where due to how stylized and unconventional the storytelling is. There's a clear theme about trying to fix the past and making bad decisions. I wonder if the ending is about David having to come terms with his actions and guilt in all the horrible things he's done to serve his bloated ego and deluded sense of righteousness and ultimately killing himself as penance/fixing everything.

Im pretty sure that his goal is to stop himself from getting born - fucking Farouk and unfucking everything else.

See, atm I can't really imagine David doing that intentionally, not just yet. He's still way too self-centered about "fixing" everything, getting his revenge and getting together with Syd. It's most likely going to end with David dying/erasing himself, but we're missing some integral piece of the puzzle.

>David tries to go back to kill himself
>Syd tries to stop him
>Syd doesn't realize that she is Legion that stole her face like Shadow King did Lenny

I love the running gag about Debussy's life turning progressively more and more shitty thanks to David. He gets crippled, his face gets fucked up, his husband's mind is erased, he gets shot to space and becomes an icicle...

He was sort of the Rickety Cricket of the show yeah.

Using only the word pretentious as criticism without explaining why is completely worthless in discussion. Just using subjective adjectives in general when discussing something's quality is worthless.
