Did anyone else like Vandal Savage? I was very fond of him, but his connection to the Hawks really dragged him down. Some of his scenes were really good, like the one where he was locked up in the waverider.

I actually liked him as a villain. The crossover episode with Flash/Arrow was good stuff.

Yeah, I kinda liked him. Not the best, but liked him. The Hawks dragged him down badly. Thank God the Hawks are gone.

Savage was a lame. I thought that storyline was dumb from top to bottom.

Savage had the problem that they used him too much so he lost all the time. They should have put him more into the background. And have him reveal he didn't want to fuck Barrista Girl.

It also made it contrived because they had keep having Cold not just freeze him and bring him to the ship or firestorm to incinerate him.

Yep, that's the main reason Savage never worked for me. It was just a constant barrage of the show telling me he was so dangerous and unstoppable, but his impact on the Legends was minimal. You can't have your heroes constantly facing off against the same villain and both sides walking away clean.

Flash Season 3 is having a similar problem with Savitar. If he's so badass, why hasn't he done something that hasn't been reversed the bext episode? Two villains that break the cardinal writing rule of "Show. Don't tell."

And it would have been easy to write around with some sort of regeneration effect away from his death place.

The worst part about Savage is the rather lame origin the writers chose.

Caveman Savage > All.

A super intelligent Caveman has so much potential in a time travel show.
 
Savage, Hawks, they completely failed hard with them. I kind of feel bad for all three cast members. Never mind all the dumbing down of the "Legends" they did to excuse Savage getting away and everything. At least in season two they were self aware. Oh and Kendra's role was basically being in the middle of lover triangle after love triangle and "destiny", like WTF? It was some shitty writing in an out of touch attempt at appealing to the shippers.

The Hawks are the ultimate writing challenge

"I can do it! I can make them not suck!"

But nobody ever has

Kendra deciding not to kill Savage when she had the chance is a Top 10 Worst CW Show Moment. I don't think I've ever groaned so loud at the TV.

The Hawks deal should have been that they've been working together for so long that they function on instinct. They're an amazing team as a duo. But since they've spent lifetimes just as a duo, getting them to call audibles and do anything else that makes them work within a team is almost impossible. Make that their arc- learning to expand their circle of trust beyond just each other.

Instead, they're part of a love triangle. Because CW.
 
No, her role was being an ex-baritsa.

AKA, the good old days when she had free will and wasn't cursed with a damn "destiny".


How old are the characters now? Ray (with Kendra) and Sara were left in the 50s for a couple years and with much of the team left in various time periods how long were they stuck where they were? I don't remember.

They got left behind for two years (1958-60)

Sara has a canonical date of birth of Dec 25th, 1987 - So right now she would be 29 before adding in the two stranded years, making her 31.

Ray was born sometime in 1981, so he'd be 36 + 2 stranded years, making him 38.

There doesn't seem to be a DOB for Kendra, since she hasn't been assumed dead by the public in order to have a view-able memorial or gravestone.

When they announced that Hawk Girl was going to be in this years ago, I was excited. Cause my only reference was the awesome Thanagar Shayera Hol. Instead we got this crappy version.. (She was better then Hawk Man, by a lot.)

Actor who played Savage was amazing but severely hampered by that shitty Hawk Girl love-triangle Egyptian storyline.

It would've been awesome to have him be a part of the Legion in this season.

so s2 is good? i tuned out of s1 after awhile...

I enjoyed it throughly. And I hated most of Season 1. Character work is stronger, better threat, and it embraces the ridiculous.
