I actually liked him as a villain. The crossover episode with Flash/Arrow was good stuff.
I loved Neil Druckmann.
Yeah, I kinda liked him. Not the best, but liked him. The Hawks dragged him down badly. Thank God the Hawks are gone.

I enjoyed Druckmann. He was fun for a bit.

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

Savage is not Druckmann. For one thing, he couldn't keep getting away with it.
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.

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.
Justice League would like a word.
Putting the Hawks in a great show doesn't make them good

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.
No, her role was being an ex-baritsa.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
And that depiction leaned into the Hawks being the fucking worst to work.
Shayera is a legitimately a great character. Not so much Carter, but he was a minor character anyway.

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.

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.
What a radical and unpopular opinion. Falk Hentschel is without a doubt the Sam Worthington of our generation.

Justice League is literally the only time a Hawk has been a remotely good character.
I can't stand them in the comics either.

Ah man you're in for a treat.
The CW app is on most streaming devices tho. And it's free.
That feels like quite some terrible stuff. Very little on that list that would excite me.

Honestly the Multiverse is probably the main thing i'd like to see next season.
More interesting than just more time travel.

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

s2 is way better than s1. Only 17 episodes. They should do that for the rest of DC CW shows.

It's up there with Arrow as the best of the CW/DC shows this year.

I do think you miss some good stuff by skipping the first season, but if it's a barrier of entry for you then don't worry about it.
Only 17 episodes, up one from last year. If the length mattered, last year should have been better.
Why complain when there is a new izombie? We got something just as good.Legends is back toni...
Oh, wait. Yeah.

Good point.
