    why angriest boy in the world?

    maybe I'm missing something but I still don't get why that story and doll and just general thing exists...

    was it one of farouks tricks/David's hallucinations? just confused because we see angry boy in David's crib as the house is deteriorating from the time goblins. I thought that was before farouk got into David so how could have the doll been a hallucination?

    and if it's not, why read your kid such a thing, and why was it never explained why they read it to him or even introduced it to him. shit even I'm scared of that thing now.

    idk, it kinda looks like Hitler but idk if that the point or not.

    Why does Lenny have a cane near the end of the series?

    You can see it in season 3 I think. Did they ever explain why? It’s not super important/prominent, but I’m just wondering if I missed something

    i can tell you exactly when i bailed

    Generally speaking.... when I start a series I watch the whole thing. I can count on one hand how many times i stopped watching a show before it ended.

    That said. with Season 2 Episode 7 i am officially done. I have been putting off watching another episode for the last several now. everytime go to watch the next one, i find a reason not to.

    I got about 3/4 thru ep 7. this is some nonsense about multiple time lines and different versions of David.

    Season 1 was watchable. despite it's many flaws. But this...... I'm sorry to rant like this, i know this is a fan portal.

    I really wish they would have worked on character development, but they didn't . most of the characters were completely unlikeable and/or unconvincing in their roles. I know it has been mentioned several times on here but the whole Carry as some kind of fighter. it is literally laugh out loud bad. not sure if it is the actress herself, the super unconvincing scenes, or just poor writing.

    anyway, those who stuck it out, i hope you enjoy(ed) it.

    Confused watching season 3

    I get that David is a killer but so is devision 3 and the rest of the mutants like when the y rescue David that one guy is just flinging soldiers miles into the horizon and they literally burn people alive but David going to save his sister he crossed a line? Right like syd is appalled with David wich understandably right like he messed with her mind and tortured Oliver but foruk and division 3 has done those things to like they want to kill David because he might end the world for all they know hunting him down like this is how he becomes a killer. I know I already said this but like foruk has done some awful shit like what he did to marry Lenny the list goes on and takes joy in all of it but he's fine to work with and can live but David must die?

    Did I miss an important scene?

    So I'm currently watching Legion season three and I don't understand why the whole gang wants David dead. Sure, Syd has reasons to be mad at him but the rest? They don't really hear David out during his trial and don't give him a chance to prove himself. And the beginning of season three for me is basically David trying to undo his mistakes and the other ones trying to kill him the whole time.

    Did I miss some important scenes or am I just not seeing the whole picture??

    Today I heard "Something for your M.I.N.D." by Superorganism in the wild and that made me way happier than it should

    In my little town in Switzerland, there is a construction site on my way to work since a few weeks. This morning, while I was walking in the alley next to it, I heard notes of Something for your MIND coming from the site. Construction workers where working with it as a background ! I don't know if it was the radio or if they deliberately choose it. The song doesn't seem to be very famous so I guess it is the second option. Maybe there is a fan of Legion here !

    Anyway I just wanted to tell you that it made me very happy and contributed to making me have a good day. I thought about Legion all day.

    New to the show I have a specific question about s1e6

    Main character (I'm bad at names and haven't slept) dude that has the female/younger alter. When they are in the mental place and Aubrey Plaza? Is the therapist...what is the relationship supposed to be between those two?

    His inner child? His actual child? Niece? They seem to be actual people in there, or are being lead to think they are and I'm just confused.

    Also, who is the guy with the drool? I know he's been in the other episodes, remember him driving. But does he have an alter/split?

    Sorry I dozed on some of the prior episodes but too into it to start over now.

    Nearly finished the show

    Do you think the creator(s?) of the show like Pink Floyd? I get the impression they may like Pink Floyd. Not entirely sure though. But I think they like Pink Floyd.

    Significance of the episode?

    I’m on chapter 14 on my first watch of legion and I was wondering what was the significance of the episode? I just finished it and my take was that no matter what his sister was always there for him and in this universe her dying means that he feels like he failed her. I was wondering if I am at least a bit close but I was also wondering if anyone else had other takes? Otherwise amazing episode and very interesting to see.

    S1E6 - The Clockworks Book

    In S1E6, Syd finds a book in the Clockworks dream on a couch next to Cary, reading it later while David is painting. I think the title is "A Cosmic Unfolding" but I'm not sure. Is there a book that references what she said? From the wiki...

    She then finds a book on couch about alternate realities, dream states, and memory palaces.

    Syd sucks

    I'm admittedly a little late to the game here but I just finished the series.

    Did anyone else have a very hard time identifying with Syd after she turned against David? She loves this guy and after ten minutes looking through magic TV pools with a Farouk-infested Melanie she does a complete 180 because... he left her to go do something very important (after he gives her a psychic compass to find him wherever he is)?! WTF?

    It hadn't occurred to me until the 3rd rewatch of *Legion*

    David was assumed to be clinically schizophrenic, only to discover that he was, in fact, psychically schizophrenic (Shadow King, etc.)

    Did I Imagine It Uncensored?

    I can't find my blu-ray of season 1, but the digital version I'm watching censors stuff in season 1, which I don't remember happening on the blu-ray (I never watched season 1 live). Is this like The Magicians, where they aired a censored version and then released the uncensored or is my brain just broken?

    I'm streaming on Vudu/Fandango at home/ whatever the fuck they call it now

    Was it always blue theory. (SPOILERS.)

    TLDR: A role switch in the always blue question makes us see how david went from being manipulated to becoming the manipulator.

    This contains heavy spoilers for Legion btw.

    I just feel like with David's memories being affected by Farouk - we know that nothing was reliable in his mind- But nothing really is even in normal people. I've been studying half a semester of psychology and up until now, David has been such a great thing for me to reference to due to how the series explores his disorders and all.

    Since we know that in some ways, Lenny was never lenny - since we learn that was merely a projection from Farouk and the actual lenny not being lenny but actually benny- therefore I can say that the ones who are in clarity when this question is asked is the villain.

    First, Farouk as lenny got asked "Was it always blue" when it came to those drugs. To which the figure who was the manipulator responded "Its always blue"
    Now, we cue season 3, and Lenny who was being kind of manipulated by david is the one who asks this question to david - who responds in the exact same way.. Thus, showing how David had really become like the very villain he had hated and continued hating.
    I feel like the writing in the show was immaculate..

    now I need to rewatch it bro.

    about Oliver and Melanie

    I dont know if this has already been answered, but because they are currently in the astral plane at the time of the timeline reset, were they safe and still together? I’d assume because time and space is null and void within the plane that they’d continue to remain together despite everyone else probably never meeting in the new timeline. Or did things go back to Oliver and Melanie being together pre-summerland if they were together before David’s possession? I just love them so much I want to believe they’re still together at the end of it all

    Marvel Rivals with Legion in it

    So i want to make a post to the new Marvel Rivals game reddit and discord for a suggestion to put David in the game but im worried that its an obscure enough character that if i dont give some extra suggestions for how he works and everything that theres very little chance that people would actually see the appeal of having him in there and therefore not add him to the roster, so my idea is that id turn to yall for some ideas on how his kit would work based on either/or the comics or the show, or even both? if we do make up a good kit for him maybe a few of us could go into the same places and repost or also just suggest him also to make sure that its not just a single fella trinna get him into the game.

    SO, yall got any good ideas for my post to there?

    Looking for Switch's coat

    Looking for something close to Switch's coat here. I have been obsessed with this coat since I first saw the third season. Something about Switch's style aligns with my own and I would love to have a coat that looks like this!

    Cinematography differences between Season 1 and Season 2.

    I lack the technical knowledge to describe it, but there's definitely a difference between the cinematography of the first season to the second, right? The colors look more...saturated? Vibrant? What do you guys think?

    Legion Merch

    Hey, quick question. Does anyone know where to get good Legion merch? I was looking for something but can't really find anything except for David's shirts. But to be honest they are kinda boring, just these ones with shapes or some posters. I would like some cool stuff. The shadowkings glasses, Davids lunchbox, some legion branded mugs or a record of the soundtrack and so on. Does anybody know where to get something. (Europe?)
