LEGION Episode 2 Full Breakdown & Analysis (Devil with the Yellow Eyes Explained)

[@anthonyclausing7872]

Legion is the only show that has compelled me to rewatch episodes and look up random people's reviews

[@DexPeck]

Anthony Clausing OK so it's not just me lol

[@Natsumi666]

I did it with Daredevil.

[@kevinmason2512]

Me too, I'm really hoping the show is as deep as it seems.

[@YoungMasterpiece]

same here

[@DTower1970]

Westworld was the last for myself

[@rickgrimes3246]

Keep doing these analyses, the show is so captivating but with it's complexity I feel like the analysis is like a necessary companion series.

[@justanotherdude4168]

Keep making Legion vids!!!

[@aurora_skies_]

Yes please!

[@SAM_PIKET]

Justanotherdude yessssss

[@michaellancina667]

more please!

[@1LIFEtoWIN]

I don't think hes going to keep doing them as much more, his Legion videos aren't getting near as enough views compared to his other videos, he's probably going to do more star wars vids instead.

[@Nugg99]

YES

[@coriamber]

keep doing this, the show needs explanations

[@logansmith2703]

coriamber no kidding though I am luckily getting a sense of the plot structure

[@vanesarizvic236]

Hes mental issues are just to anoying.

[@coriamber]

Actually, I know alot of Legions backstory from being a comic book collector long ago. The interesting things are the visual clues hidden, and I spot a good many but its fun to see and hear of others that I missed initially.

[@Paragons_Delight]

how so?

[@mlehook4859]

Your #LegionFX episode analyses are validating my own "sensory experience" of the show. Thanks for your insights and enthusiasm!

[@NecroGami2498]

The devil with the yellow eyes is terrifying as hell xD

[@nooaleikkola483]

Kido Tsubomi i watched episode two last night and i didnt get sleep becouse on demon with the yellow eyes

[@sam8404]

Ive been watching legion on lsd and it doesnt scare me

[@alittlecreepywhenyou]

Look again.

[@ltrt6975]

Kido Tsubomi I don't think he's scary. He just really ugly

[@alanguy1132]

+sam8404 because u already know how powerful u are as a spiritual being :)

[@supernaturalawesome1]

I have so many theories but here's the best one I have. None of the childhood memories we are seeing with Davids parents are his. They belong to someone else. Legion in the comics has an issue with absorbing the minds of others, aquiring there personality, memories and powers. As seen when Lenny appeared to David after she died (David absorbed her personality). Maybe he absorbed the childhood trauma from someone else. It would call into question everything david knows about himself and add a whole new layer to this questioning reality narrative.

[@999across]

These breakdowns should be played after each Legion episode airs.

[@TreyNewman.]

This Is The Best Hero Show Out In My Opinion Marvel Or DC Tv Shows Please Keep Making Videos

[@zakeronwilliams9576]

Ell Sev without a doubt. never been into the shows that are more literal adaptations of the comics

[@TokyoBlue587]

Legion is turning out to be one of the best comic book adaptations of all -- and it doesn't really follow the comic books too much, which is a good thing.

[@DEathNAGOtho999]

Please don't stop this legion breakdown, it helps me see what I miss from the episodes, great work

[@oluwafunmiwosholola7108]

In the first episode, the guards had a domino symbol with the line dividing two dots and one dot. Also, the camera perspective from the interrogation scene had the same symbol in the top left. I am guessing that is meant to signify the name, "Division Three."

[@jvrbwn6232]

or division 21. two and one.

[@alexsilva28]

Wow that's smart

[@fernandorivas8608]

These vids are awesome!! Keep up with the good work.

[@ericmee70]

There's so much going on in this show, I love all the symbolism and thematic elements. I had watched it twice but still missed most of the "eyes." Please keep making these.

[@NativeSpartacus]

PLEASE keep breaking down these episodes, (Please?) if anything show needs it it's this one.

[@christopherhoeppner7990]

I love these videos, there is so much symbolism in this show that I miss each episode and I love the Lost vibe this show gives off, keep up the great work

[@jaycerda6762]

this is a TV show it looks like a movie

[@aryajonathan3733]

uniform arc2 even the casts are from Box Office materials (maybe not all but Dan Stevens is in Beauty and the Beast film)

[@shhs1227]

uniform arc2 most shows look like movies now. they have already begun to overtake movies in quality

[@TWN-nw4jd]

To your question, YES! The mystery in the story telling is one of the best things about the series - I think the reason some superhero series (no names mentioned but I'm sure we're all thinking along the same lines) fall down is that they spoon feed the audience the narrative, making it borderline unwatchable and definitely unenjoyable.

[@jfbowers369]

Show more! plus I like the fan service comic book adaptations as well as going down a different path. as long as the story is good and true to the heart of the character or book that is the source. I am really enjoying this show.

[@Allexstrasza]

Love this series, thanks for doing the breakdowns! Pretty sure "The Eye" can track anyone who's powers he's seen, which is why he acted so weirdly when David used his powers in the interrogation room

[@rashby69]

The part where he says his dad is an astronomer he also say the stars talk to him and his dad say they talk to me too. That's what me think of professor x and cerebro

[@jamelbrewster7667]

rashby69 no deal. also pro x wasnt in his lofe at all as a child

[@philipptanzer1572]

wow, this was an amazing analysis! I always said that good stories are more important than being accurate to the comic books or having a perfect timeline

[@mooseinthemorning335]

That was actually Syd singing when you watch with subtitles it says SYD: referring to get singing

[@rakaschneider]

I really like these weekly episode breakdowns! I don't really have too many friends watching this show, and these breakdowns are everything I need and more in order to meet this new addiction of mine!

[@solidsnake497]

I love these keep them coming. ❤️

[@luisabreu6943]

These videos are the only reason I understand the show. Thanks for the dope analysis

[@sagemyruss]

On Hulu, the subtitles say that Sydney is singing the song

[@anothermarvelfan5142]

Watching this analysis after finishing season 1, and I just want to say how impressive your predictions ended up being. I was definitely quick to rush to this channel once I finished to refresh myself on the comic connections and see what I missed. Nice job!

[@jenniferkenny2405]

I love the way this show is made. My partner hates "the artsy stuff" - but I live for it. It makes the show unique to watch and so opposite to how most of tv is filmed. I thought that the older woman changed his memory. When they first see him as a child in bad - there is a glitch and she makes a movement and then her father is revealed to us as this shadow. I think he might have been ready to say Xavier but she shut it down before he could reveal it. That information could be dangerous for others to know.

[@evijamedvedeva1332]

One thing I have noticed is: everytime they show us a new location like Clockworks or Summerland, the image is never fully focused.

[@timcrone9577]

I'll come back every week for a breakdown of Legion. This is very informative.

[@blindmanai6957]

Great series so far. As much as I want to have a connected universe of xmen and marvel, I'm ok with it not being connected at all. Many great comic hero stories are one offs, and have no need to "fit in" to an overall story arc. Keep up the great vids as always.

[@kirkmanley5748]

Outstanding! Love your vids but especially enjoying the Legion vids. So much great detail and analysis, fantastic! Keep up the great work.

[@jubileemitchell4872]

Love all your breakdowns, but especially the ones for Legion! Keep up the great work!

[@SandraZ227]

Please keep doing these breakdowns. I missed so much information while watching.

[@MysticMavi]

Love your detailed reviews! It is really helpful for me to understand the show better. It is crazy how many things I miss everytime. Please keep making them 👍

[@Cheekymonkeytoday]

Love what a trip this show is great to have a breakdown on each episode. Please keep it up 👍

[@gustavocurielmendiola8103]

Keep making Legion videos, episode 6 is a huge must do video

[@johngrife4124]

Please keep making the legion videos! They are greatly helpful!

[@kaitlin2012c]

Currently binge watching the entire season! I need these breakdowns!!!!!

[@YoungMasterpiece]

3rd episode was mad! last night... hope these guys continue explaining they're perception of the show.

[@TheRushDJava]

Great breakdowns of the episodes, keep them coming!

[@p3nguinstyle]

please keep doing this!!! this is a show that needs explanation like this

[@jethrosketch]

aw shoot..... now I gotta watch the whole episode again cuz these easter eggs were so awesome.. thanks a lot guys...

[@mjw1111]

super duper. I watch your breakdown and then watch the episode. keep it up!

[@christos2474]

Yes! Please do a breakdown of every Legion episode!

[@pcysneros]

I never comment or like videos... I need these breakdowns for the show... I love it!

[@graysonhieb919]

Keep doing these. Really enjoying them

[@anthonysimms7519]

The Talking Heads cover was sung by Rachel Keller (Syd Barrett) not Audrey Plaza

[@YoungMasterpiece]

3rd episode was mad! hope these guys continue explaining through their perception of thr show. wanna see what details i've missed, or they did.

[@Yaboycg47]

do these for every episode plzzz, this helps a lot

[@kate15099]

Didn't notice the eyes above the alleyway or hear the announcements at all! Keep up the good work!

[@michaelsharpe5112]

Just started watching on Hulu. The story really fucks with your mind.

[@yassineferchichi6627]

In this episode we can notice the ' Enceladus' painting in young david's room, Enceladus is renowned for possessing several amazing features just like David.

[@mikep4633]

We need your weekly breakdown! :)

[@christophertorres8225]

ive been checking everyday for this review

[@cursedmortal6]

I'm watching this show not as a comic fan, but as a fan that's into psychologic, surreal, symbolic stories that Lynch makes or even as a fan of Mr. Robot. I enjoyed your analysis videos.

[@ynnavoig3398]

Holy sheet,this is Trippy.... I like it!

[@JeroenWijnholds]

I love Legion so much! Please keep making these awesome vids :)

[@MikeHawk1969]

yes more more more breakdowns ... i watch the episode then watch the breakdown to get all the shit I missed after watching it twice

[@theverywell-informedfanboy6068]

Also, in regards to both the parents theories, and who the "Devil" might be, don't forget that David absorbs consciousnesses. I think that's what the eyes symbolize, that he's never truly alone because of the other people in his head, along with the strange imagery we got in the first episode, like the person that was painted into the wall. There's a chance the "Devil" might be a character that he absorbed the consciousness of, and that may even connect to why he doesn't know who the parents are, or even why he has gaps in his memory. Because some of the memories are truly his... I also think this relates back, somehow, to that clip from the first episode where David's being yelled at and attacked by a group of people surrounding him. I think they may be the moment right before he absorbs those people's consciousnesses.

[@cdraico]

There is nothing worse than a "re-imagining" of comic media. People watch this show because they are comic fans, and want to see the comic played out. I don't mind the "how" of the storytelling, as long as it abides by what the story is about.

[@montell19]

Great analysis! LOVE THE VIDS. KEEP THEM COMING!

[@MissNMars]

Great find about the eyes following David!

[@AntonioHernandez-oq1jv]

The "angriest boy in the world" part scared the shit out of me. This show is so good.

[@vibsawasthi]

Please do episode 3 fast.

[@mackenzieflores8847]

Love the Legion breakdowns!!!

[@jackbutler3036]

Yes do weekly episodes on legion!!!

[@ashleysamaniego1975]

So far I have watched 3 episodes, AND I LOVED THE CRAP OUTTA THEM! I dont give a damn if they dont make series the way we want it. Let the producers have the freedom to do what they want with the series.

[@88RJMG]

Please do episode 3!!

[@Stoiky14]

Favourite new show, Period.

[@leekatpants9879]

KEEP MAKING THEM PLEASE.

[@randomcurrypuff6237]

I think the rod they were holding in the memory thing look more like Sebastian Shaw's reactor thing

[@cha0tykharm0nye]

love the videos on legion! please keep them coming. lol but me personally think it's the shadow king trying to take over his body....making sure he doesn't die but goes off kilter enough to bury him in his own mind 😅 but we shall see everything is so trippy

[@josetorres8789]

I love this show! Please keep making legion videos!

[@harrydaynes5563]

Please keep doing the legion videos!!

[@DrewPat17]

Please keep these videos coming!

[@cent1130]

I like the breakdown videos of Legion. keep it up

[@lanatranter54]

pls keep doing these!!

[@AshReed42]

Yes! More legion breakdowns!!!

[@ramata1962]

I like the show and like your reviews. I would feel more secure in the story if just a few things were tighted up in the odyssey style screen play

[@HedelTorres]

New to your site, awesome breakdown... really looking forward to seeing more... :) i've already subscribed :) I sure hope this show survives. It might get confusing for some but really hope it gets enough fan base to make it... Love the Wes Anderson/Kubrick feel of the show... love superhero content, especially X-Men so this has it all... even the dive into mental illness, obviously it's not a scientific study of mental illness but it gives us a glimpse of it, giving us an opportunity to connect to it.

[@chrish6001]

I believe there are many references to Summerland being like the institution in "The Prisoner", the original and the reboot, like the pajamas, the announcements, the isolation, the possible use of a girlfriend to draw out compliance and information...

[@ottboyz-3631]

I watch these recaps since I don't have Fx 😓. But this is just as good 😊

[@titaamac]

Love this show! Keep making videos please.

[@patrickwhaley1026]

I love the mystery of the show and I believe a little bit a both of adding his comics background and new origin would be just right

[@robertodelossantoscuellar7622]

Please do not stop making videos lol I look forward to your vids than actually watching the tv show lol

[@iMykie]

Question 1) yes, I love the mystery but I also need these vids to explain further 2) as a comic book watcher (didn't read any) I don't have an opinion, all these stories are fresh and brand new to me

[@rorschach001]

Cerebro is not explicitly described as a telescope, however the analogy they’re making has some merit. In a way, Cerebro serves as a psychic "telescope" that allows Professor X to reach out across vast distances and "observe" the minds of mutants around the world, similar to how a telescope lets astronomers observe distant stars. Just as a telescope extends human vision beyond the limitations of our eyes, Cerebro extends Professor X's telepathic abilities, enabling him to connect with and understand mutants on a global scale.

[@sgorman25]

Excellent job! Love the "Talking Legion" content

[@alexruthbone6358]

I loved the show. Keep making videos for it.

[@greenghost7907]

Very well done, sir!

[@intendedexpression6609]

this is dope keep them coming👍

[@FlavioLanfranconi]

Love the Show and then realy enjoy watching your breakdown!!

[@VTPPGLVR]

LOL That moment when he misses it in the first episode recap but nails it in the second episode recap.

[@Siv3001]

Weekly breakdowns pls

[@moondustmix1682]

Great review! I love Legion so far. It reminds me of the Netflix Marvel shows.

[@jarkody]

I'm interested to see where the show goes but I didn't know much of anything about Legion before and I wish they would have explained more in these first episodes.

[@SandraRed]

Good job on this review! But to me at least it seems very clear that "father figure" is actually David himself... Also fear that he feels is coming from the inside, because the real danger is not others, it's in him - he is the real danger, he is one of the strongest and most powerful mutants, and he can become very dangerous weapon for other people.

[@ladypeyton]

Love your Legion vids!
