I don't want to miss the opportunity to thank you two guys for doing these analyzes, it was really a pleasure to see Legion with you!

[@ryanerikpeterson]

BRANDON MANRIQUE thank you so much! Appreciate you watching along with us.

[@thiagoparry]

agreed

[@cjscala87]

Hands down the best series on television at the moment.. and it didn’t drag out like some shows ( Walking Dead) and it didn’t disappoint like others ( Game of Thrones). Such a unique piece of entertainment. I will never stop recommending Legion to people.

[@Firexspartan]

lets hope legion becomes a cult classic

[@RichardRingo1]

AMEN! And I'm already having withdrawal symptoms. :-)

[@Dhieen]

i was disappointed but the season 2 and 3 but i liked them too... so i dont know what to think haha; the first season was so goood

[@Vsxe]

Stop with the comparison and the GOT crying. (It was good for many despite the haters). Legion is too cool to compare.

[@Dreaus616]

If they ever bring Legion back David better be played by Dan I can’t see anyone else as or better then him

[@jacquelinearsene6528]

The finale wasn't as dark or tragic instead it was happier. I totally did not expect that. David finally got his happy ending but its bittersweet because the David we know is erased. I'm gonna miss watching Legion every week.

[@hollycarter725]

I was so happy for David. And for Switch too. I thought she was a goner for sure.

[@MatthewFutrell]

Shadow King and Charles came out on top. Provided Present Day Shadow King, and David gave Past Shadow King (with the glasses) and Charles (The Cake) contained more than just what happened to them. If it contained everything that happened in their respective lives then Charles and Past Shadow King will live on with that knowledge. They made this point in the video, but I felt they missed out on the possibility that Charles benefitted from it as well.

[@jacquelinearsene6528]

There's alot to unpack from the series finale. But yeah Charles too benefited from David's knowledge. Hopefully he'll seek out the mutants David met before to join his school if he ever made one. Maybe Sydney and David will meet again this way.

[@davis.fourohfour]

David died, Farouk won in every way.

[@MatthewFutrell]

@@davis.fourohfour well past Shadow King won. Because all present iterations of everybody disappeared.

[@katrinaheller7664]

Farouk redeemed himself with David. I love the part when he shared his feeling for David with Charles and past Farouk (nah guys, he wasn’t lying). Farouk admitting to himself and to Charles that he couldn’t raise David was huge, imo. It helps to interpret season 2 as Farouk’s misguided attempt to raise David. He wants to see David realize his potential, and the only way he knows how to do this is by isolating him from everyone he loves. After all, that seemed to be Farouk’s entire existence: isolation and misery. Then, at the end of season 2, he realized he failed. He raised a boy consumed by hatred. Farouk is fully aware of the damage done by his time with David, and he genuinely wants to stop it from ever happening.

[@legion4268]

He's the best character with David.

[@SubstancedD]

Katrina Heller amazing right

[@YuKheThai]

Exactly. It really makes the final moments of season 2 greater. Farouk's expressions of love for David and disappointment in who he had become make so much sense now.

[@IloveGorgeousGeorge]

I thought it was a very mature, very sweet way to end the series.

[@durapoker]

So he tried to raise the boy by being a demon that terrorized him?

[@KennySanzYT]

David pulled a Captain America quote after Amal told him to visit him: "No, I don't think i will".

David pulling the goldfish out of his ear reminded me of a Hitchhiker's Guide babble fish.

[@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396]

David probably needed one of those for himself. :) Also for the Mi-Go monk.

[@philipfabiani9325]

I think every main character did something awful on the show or had some moral shortcoming: -- Amy lied to David and told him he'd only be in clockworks for three weeks. She was also willing to cooperate with division to capture and "turn off" David. Also, remember how she inconsiderately ate David's birthday cupcake in front of him in the first episode? --- Kerry was willing to kill baby David! She's willing to kill anything, it seems. -- Cary was going to gas and kill David, just because he wouldnt accept treatment. -- Melanie wanted to use David and his godly power to fight a war against humanity. -- While Syd was only a teenager when she used her mom to have sex with her mom's boyfriend, resulting in his arrest, and beat up the bullies at school, she never showed remorse. She was also willing to murder David just because Melanie/Farouk showed her images of David's bad side and that he might destroy the world. -- Oliver selfishly didnt care for Melanie's wants or needs and left her to live in the astral plane.

[@fridun007]

I guess Ptomony is the only good guy?

[@jordynbyers6053]

Actually, I recall Ptonomy threatening to kill Clarke at the end of season 1, not to mention that in the same episode when the shadow king was passing through everyone’s bodies, he runs into the room and just starts shooting at Kerry when the shadow king inhabits her

[@nytelyte3979]

Syds virtue signaling and hypocrisy really irked me at the end of season 2 and in season 3. She's mad at him for basically being a "murdering" psycho who altered her memory and used her but she's literally no better. Really wish they didn't make her blame basically everything on david when shes just as guilty.

Yep thank you for being actually fair and not just demonizing David like the tools making this video did.

[@Doremon95]

Thankfully it wasn't like GOT !!

[@madduckling2071]

Same

[@phillbt]

I believe that the reference to "Mother", by Pink Floyd, as sung by David and his mother, implies that her anxieties and traumas got transferred to him as a baby, and then solidified with the abandonment first by father and then by his already broken mother - which then manifested his mental health issues, with or without the Shadow King.

[@jparker71]

excellent call

[@Spiffybean09]

Kerry was aging quicker than everyone else because she got up close and personal with the time demons in hand-to-hand combat. Another person would have succumbed to the aging much earlier in that situation, but having the other Cary inside slowed the process.

[@fgtypezero0684]

Spiffybean09 Exactly how I interpreted her advanced aging.

[@tensixtag9265]

the carrie was making direct contact with the time demons. the overlaping time steams made her skip less and more aware of skips. why sid didnt age i have no idea.

[@spacedoginnebraska]

Meh...

[@Knarki]

@@tensixtag9265 Because the time demons needed to touch her to eat her time. Kerry kept most of them away from syd and the few that got through were dealt with a shotgun blast before any time-eating could begin

[@WigantX]

But I remember Kerry aging a bit some episodes before, just right after accidentally carrying Carry within her. I think it's a mix of time demons and a bit of transfer of the "oldness-ish" of Carry. You see, every time Kerry gets beaten, the injuries are transfered to Carry when she goes inside. So maybe, Carry transfered his "age issues" to Kerry while being inside of her.

[@maxhydekyle2425]

The way music was incorporated into Legion was mythical. Either the song seems like it was specifically written for Legion or the musical number completely changes how I view the song. I'm gonna really miss the weekly recaps from you guys. At least I can rest easy knowing it's always blue.

[@zoape6157]

I don't think they can

[@Dreaus616]

Honestly I will never see anyone else as Legion/David Haller except for Dan

[@DaveTh3Ninja]

Benny doesn't need to be in David Haller's life. Lenny was a real person at Clockworks. She died in that whole psychic blast that happened because two mutants switched bodies. We say the body. Now whether or not the character in the new (and actual Original Timelines(Comics)) timeline bears any resemblance to the identity that took David's foster sister's body is anyone's guess. Great series and of course, it resets the X-Men timeline again because what else is new.

[@LanceVanceDance84]

Yup. Lenny was real but died in the very first episode. The rest of that season she's just a mask used by Farouk. Season two is when she becomes a real person again, albeit in Amy's body. There's nothing to indicate that she won't exist in the new timeline, but considering how Amy was David's adoptive sister and how Charles and Gabrielle will be sticking around this time, David will never meet her. That's a huge change from David's previous life, so he'll probably never meet Benny or wind up at Clockworks to meet Lenny and Syd. If he does still wind up in a mental hospital (since it's hinted that his mental illness runs in his mother's family), it'd probably be something else.

[@lewistrombly4088]

David created lenny to replace his actual friend Benny memory,or the shadow king did?

[@davyjones5079]

He also appears to have freed himself from the hall of time and to have made it to Charles when him and Switch got separated. He recalled Farouk saying something like reality is what you make it just before doing so. He seems to be better able to utilize his powers over time. I don't think he realized just how powerful he really was. If he had a bit more patience, he might have been able to actually achieve all that he had hoped to. His powers really seemed to be godlike.

Ending made me cry so hard cause I been with this characters for 3 season and I really loved that Xavier speech to David so much. Plus David temper tantrum is every kid. My mom really recognized the artist of that song which was done amazingly

[@stevenburton7725]

I do believe Lenny does exist, and Farouk simply rewrote David’s memories to put Lenny into Benny’s place. She was physically killed when Syd took over David’s body in season one. Farouk was likely changing David’s memories to try to stop him from killing himself, or for fun, or any number of other reasons. It is why she gets trapped in Farouk’s mind throughout most of season two. She had been real, because the drug dealer remembers her once she regained a physical form. There’s other instances, but Farouk uses the loss of Lenny throughout season one to torture David because David was her friend and he could use the guilt to further destroy David’s mind.

[@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396]

Benny and Lenny were two different people. Benny was a drug addict friend of David’s before he went to Clockworks. Lenny was friends with David in Clockworks and Syd accidentally killed her by putting her in a wall. This is why Division One was there. After that, Lenny’s spirit was sucked up by the SK and used. It was implied that David’s mind mixed up the two characters. Also, I thought there was a lot of talk about David’s mental illness via his mom this season too.

[@renx81]

Bingo. I was surprised to hear that Ryan and Greg thought Lenny was just a figment of David's imagination. She was clearly a real person. As for the mixup in David's mind, I always thought it was Farouk who changed these memories of David, like with other fictional memories he planted in his mind. But you may be right, perhaps it was just a result of David's mental illness.

[@ryanjackson2243]

Theory: One-armed-future-Syd from season 2 is from another reset timeline where David turns evil and Syd finds Switch. Then ultimately uses switch to go back and tells Charles Xavier about how David becomes a monster and that is why he gave him up for adoption in the "current" (show) timeline.

David finally got what he wanted. He is a good person and deserves love. That love is that of his mother and father that he didn't get get because he was given away. This was a hole that was never filled till the end of this episode. If farouk and Xavier didn't hash things out David would of been the catalyst for the time eaters to destroy the world and reality. Since the were the guardians of the tributaries of time. Also traveling through time too much doesn't change your future but destroys reality itself.

I feel like this show needed at least one more season to fully paint the picture that noah hawley and the other writers were going for. So much stuff was left unexplained and left to assumption. Open-endedness can be good, but in this case I feel the lack of episodes/runtime got in the way of telling the story. I love this show regardless, and I feel like it will be much more appreciated later down the road.

Syd got to be one of the most jerked around characters on this show. She used to be consistent up until the latter half of s2 when the writers decided to make Syd ooc for the sake of plot (you know, the David is evil crap). In her final moments, she’s back to bitter snark, borderline defeating the whole empathy episode. I loved the bit about saving baby David, but loathed the “i am” in response to David saying she’ll be extraordinary without him around. WTF? Do you hate this character, Noah? Why? suddenly will be a “better” person w/o having known David? It's ALL David's fault? Syd is a jerk and the writing of this character is terrible.

The Farouk from the past/rebooted timeline isn't the one who went through the redemption arc, he just understands that David is more or less his future son and sees the toll the path he and Xavier set in motion took on David and the world and decides to not do that. The Farouk who is getting erased with David is the one who went through that arc. And that Farouk doesn't survive. The emotional heft of the arc is that Farouk completely reverses course from season 2. The old Farouk possessed David because taking over the mind of a baby was, in his mind, a better alternative to oblivion. In season 2, Farouk cites that for his justification for what he did to David. In the finale, Farouk decides to choose oblivion over life to save David and the world.

[@dammagrilla]

@@Cuchulainn1984 I'm saying, IMO, Farouk knows how to manipulate people and put himself in a winning position and once he realized fighting David wouldn't work he decided to try something else. Back in Season 1 Farouk literally says "I don't care what happens to you, I just need your body" before locking David away in his own mind to be lost forever. By Season 2 he's "always loved him like a son" He's just a liar that will say whatever gets him what he wants, IMO

[@Cuchulainn1984]

@@dammagrilla I think the story problem you are identifying--which is very real and I actually 100% agree with--is the storylines of seasons 2 and 3 don't really fit together well and they absolutely clash with the story of season 1. I think the arc works the way I described it but I 100% agree with you that it clashes with how the Shadow King is portrayed in season 1 and is inconsistent with how he is portrayed in most of seasons 2 and 3. And not in a "this is a cool twist" way but in a "we make big story decisions late in the seasons of our show that don't really fit with the established story in that season or the series overall but commit to them anyway" way.

[@philipfabiani9325]

I don't think this was the only ending to the show. There's video from FX showing unaired material from what looks like the final episode. It shows David, in his cult clothing, screaming in agony and seemingly losing his mind. It's haunting video. It seems to show him turning into the devil with the yellow eyes. A flash of the same video was shown when David was choking Farouk. Also, there's behind the scenes video of a skinny version of the devil with yellow eyes calling out to David's mom saying mommy. I'm thinking David's original fate was much darker. Perhaps he ended up losing his body like Farouk and turning into the new Shadow King.

Can we talk about Farouk for a second? If he grew to love David like a son, why was he so antagonizing during the first 2 seasons? He haunted him with demonic masks and killed his sister.

[@Cuchulainn1984]

Season 1 is the season that directly clashes w9th this ending. Season 2--especially the finale--does establish that Farouk has a twisted, narcissistic "love" for David--he sees David as an extension of himself---and it's apparent that he is helping David in season 3 for some reason. What we don't see onscreen is Farouk make the transition from a narcissistic view of "love" to the real thing. The intended arc here was for Farouk to basically go from selfishly obsessed with David to selflessly sacrificing himself out of love for David. But we don't see the most dramatically interesting part of that, which is the the transition. It feels like either they were bullshitting about the show being 3 seasons in length by design and the character who got the shortest end of the stick was Farouk or they came up with that ending late the game and committed to it despite not really doing the necessary groundwork.

[@Malthizar]

Because the show is terrible in terms of character arcs. All the main characters do unrealistic things in the season for "reasons". Syd is the hero, Farouk is redeemed, Carie can fight at all, David is actually the bad guy whose "too far gone". The acting is great as are the story beats. Character development, however, was God awful

[@Dominic-Decoco]

Daniel Roche But in season 2 Farouk killed David’s sister. How does that set him up as someone who loves him?

[@Cuchulainn1984]

@@Dominic-Decoco The show is sometimes too clever for its own good, i.e. it sometimes assumes knowledge of the story you don't have while thinking it is giving you 2 + 2 and letting you figure out 4 for yourself. The best theory I've read is that season 2 is Farouk's attempt to be a father to David, it's just he and Sebastian Shaw from X-Men: First Class have similar ideas of what a father figure looks like. Farouk thought cutting David free of all his attachments would allow him to realize his potential. In reality, all it did was turn him into an Omega level mutant so monomaniacally focused on revenge that he destroys the world. In that reading, season 3 is Farouk being honestly contrite and trying to help David fix it.

[@Dominic-Decoco]

Malthizar I disagree. I think most of the characters arcs are executed well. Syd goes from young and naive in season 1, to more hardened in season 2 (“Love makes us soft”, “This isn’t a fairy tale”), to narcissistic and delusional in season 2 finale and season 3 (“Me [I’m the hero]” and trying to hunt and kill David”) and then finally a new, mature, and wise version of herself after getting wiped and growing up in the astral plane. I do wish they let Carrie (female) gradually start to mature over the last 2 seasons. But she’s always been op and able to fight everyone, so that’s not really out of character. Lennie goes from a junky, to a scared and suicidal prisoner used by Farouk as a mask, to a confident leader of a cult, and then finally to a more wise and regretful version of herself after the time demons reveal to her that her past life was meaningless. Ptonomy is useless. And then Farouk has a descent story arc that has certain moments that contradict where he ends up. Hence my original comment.

Evolution is a big part of mutation. Omega level mutants may often times appear God-like when manifesting their powers. ---- this "creative team" would be great to move to an actual narrative spin off into a late 60's / early 70's Original Class (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel and Beast) X-Men tv series.

I wanted to remember the face first before googling his name and checking his filmography. Was so surprised!

Between Sids flakey motivations you go against David and so openly welcome the shadow king. Also the hard left turn at the end with the shadow king loving David like a father considering SK was doing a ton of fucked up things just days prior. It was hard to believe that he had changed. On the other hand, boy do I love this shows vibe. From it’s genre to the type of story their tackling to the cinematography to the sound design to... everything. It’s so refreshing.

If Farouk had such a change of heart, why the hell did he shove Lenny in to David's sister's body just last season???

[@H2Obsession]

Farouk didn't have a change of heart -- he is LYING! He gave the story "David is like my son" and fed Xavier that who-knows-what drink to manipulate Xavier... so that Xavier would stop David from killing Farouk's younger self. Clever strategy. He did essentially the same trick to Division 3 and Syd to make them turn on David at end of Season 2... this time he only had to manipulate Xavier who was pretty naive about his powers (i.e., not hard to do). Farouk was not *totally* lying (a good lie contains a kernel of truth)... I believe that Farouk thinks of David as a pet or maybe a doll/toy... something you may have emotional attachment to, but you also don't mind manipulating (perhaps abusing) them if need be... In other words, there is some evil/twisted version of "love" in Farouk's heart for David, but it isn't the type of love that a normal human would give their son. Having said that, it is easy to see why David has evil/dark impulses (well that and the mental disease he inherited from mommy). And the older Farouk showing his younger self all the stuff he learned should help him from being tricked by David and time travel should history repeat itself. Shadow King wins!
