Star Trek: We’re in a weird reboot/prequel Legion of superheroes: ... You don’t even wanna compare to how many reboots WE got!

[@Gaia_BentosZX5]

Dimension hopping was a perfect catalyst, comparing notes to the ultimate conclusion that there's hundreds, if not thousands of potential tomorrows. Focusing too much on the past leads to resentment, and focusing too much on the present can lead to paranoia. What holds this particular story back is the character dynamic, because they are 1:1 to a fault, they constantly bicker. Kirk was the most inconsistent and McCoy was weirdly enough, the MvP of this story since he was the one that called out the bullcrap.

[@ianfontanet4230]

Not sounding like a brony, but do you know how many reboots that Mlp got? 3. Except Gen 5, which it'll be a direct sequel to the Gen 4 series. Speaking of that, why do I get the feelings if DC and Idw teamed up to do a My Little Pony/Legion of Superheroes crossover? It should be called, "My Little Legionnaire: Future Friendship".

[@astrocitizen]

A quick personal note: I feel that, well, STAR TREK is DC Comics while STAR WARS is Marvel Comics (and yes, I know MC has done both). STAR TREK is all quasi-idealistic visions of the future just as DC has the United Planets and Legion of Super-Heroes, while STAR WARS is all ancient space empires that keep falling under the thrall of bad guys all the time, which is Marvel Comics with the Shi’ar Empire, the Kree, etc., as well as borderline Warhammer 40k futures that nevertheless link back to heroic adventurous families with Kang the Conqueror and Apocalypse. 3:40 - Huh, I read this series, and don’t think I noticed the Starfleet “paratroopers” were DC’s Space Rangers. Thanks! 6:10 - I was going to suggest the Dominion was a reference to the Dominators, which I think also went by that name, but then realized the reference to shape-shifting… my bad. Would have helped if the mob had said “The Founders” instead, but still… 7:25 - Based on how everywhere they go, they get into some clusterf### with the locals and need their gear to escape and settle matters, I suppose it’s entirely logical that Kirk’s team would bring their phasers and whatnot even when visiting Earth. It certainly doesn’t seem like a bad idea at the moment, now does it? 8:10 - Tyr… oh, yeah, the Mohawk guy with the cyber-rocket arm from the Super Powers toy line. It’s weird what you miss from when you’re a kid, isn’t it? 10:30 - Glad to see this franchise crossover didn’t have the crazy out of sync body proportions like we saw with the X-Men characters. 11:27 - Yeah, that was pure Zap Brannigan attitude. Picard - actually, Sisko, to be honest - would have kicked him in the nuts for that move. 13:00 - Er, okay, Ruk’s neat and everything (after all, that’s Ted freakin’ Cassidy from ADDAMS FAMILY), but who and what is the alternate Mano? 17:55 - The skimpy outfits the female Legionnaires keep getting squeezed into aren’t much different than some of the costumes they actually wore from time to time. Honestly surprised that Saturn Girl isn’t in her ‘70s pink bikini costume for this. 19:45 - Hands up anyone else who noticed the Flash’s cosmic treadmill! 20:30 - Personally, I think STAR TREK TNG meets the Nicktoon-era Ninja Turtles with the Fugitoid would be more fun, but hey, to each his own. 21:30 - I remember being of a similar attitude about this. Also, it’s shown that Q was captured by Vandal Savage - who’s been retconned in the past as having a bunch of super-powers when he first became immortal but I doubt anyone worked on this remembered that and it doesn’t feel like it would allow him to imprison Q anyway so never mind - which might be more convincing if rather than our regular Q, it was a less-experienced Q. This could be the female Q or her and Q’s son, the suicidal Q, or maybe even Amanda Rogers (heck, the first and last one would explain why that cavegirl was chosen as a puppet), then it would feel less weird. A little. A crazy idea I’ve had is that, instead of using Q, an alternative that would have played up the DC side of things by having Vandar’s secret be a fifth-dimensional imp a la Mr. Mxyptlk or Johnny Thunder’s genie-bolt (the weird, lavender-colored globe that Q was kept it actually puts me in the mind for the Thunderbolt’s pen-container). The LSH have faced Mxy before, plus the entire team started off as just another part of Superman/Superboy’s mythos after all. Considering that Q is suddenly influenced by word game-constructed contracts, which is totally the 5D imps’ thing, that doesn’t sound as stupid as it probably does at first. Probably. 25:15 - Had to do a Google search to figure that one joke out. A MARVILLE reference… that explains it 28:30 - Awesome!!! 30:20 - Awwwwwww!!!

[@johnschou2172]

@@MarkCalise You are correct. Though to be a bit more accurate, it is a bit after the saga. Chameleon Boy was in his black and yellow costume here, which came after he got his powers back. He’s pretty good here, and his depiction of the Legion is great. I always love seeing the Legion, especially from the Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen era.

Glad to see the Trek train still going at the moment especially with those announcements last week. I recall seeing this crossover at a store some time back and being curious by its premise. Ultimately decided to not get it because I don’t have a big enough connection to Legion of Superheroes.

Also amused at how this continues the trend of Star Trek crossing over with freaking everything.

In fact it is always those sorts of artistic shuffles that I love the most about these kinds of crossovers, borg-cybermen, yellow lantern klingons, and transformer enterprise, that stuff is always so fun to me. I am just picturing a Ghostbusters/Star Trek crossover that involves turning the warp core into a giant trap and them having to capture a planet sized ghost. Maybe make it the source of the Red Jack entity? Just picturing Ray and Scotty working out the mechanics of it, while Spock and Egon do the math, you have Peter and Kirk trying to fast talk the entities to buy time. And have Winston and Louis Tully possessed by Red Jacks trying to stalk down Uhura in the bowels of the ship.

Whether it gets half the views of a Batman video or not, I honestly don't mind you looking at stuff like this Linkara. For one, it's Star Trek so it's probably still gonna have its share of people looking into it, as fans themselves and knowing what a fan you are, but personally, I find it really enjoyable whenever we look at the lesser stuff. The one-offs, the stuff not from the Big 2, and in regards to the Big 2 themselves, the lesser-known stuff. You might not be as much of an expert as some people purport you to be, as you admit, but that just means we all get to experience this stuff together, and anything that highlights lesser-used characters rather than the omnipresent main heroes is cool. Give a little more spotlight to the B-, C-, and D-listers, y'know? (Gonna be cool to see next week's, too; after all these years and all the clips, I was beginning to wonder if there was never any sort of comic-related material to MST3K!)

[@Boffo97]

What generation of the Legion is this? Going by the costumes (Saturn Girl's in particular), facial appearances and Lightning Lad embracing Saturn Girl when we first see them, I'd put this as the first generation of Legion, some time around the Great Darkness Saga. As for the random comment about the Dominion, I've always taken that as referring to the Dominion that DC's Dominators came from who would both be current and close by. Though I imagine in a combined universe, it would have been quite confusing when the Gamma Quadrant Dominion turned up.

[@Snake4985]

Well, the Legion are wearing the costumes they had during The Great Darkness Saga. That and the mention of recent events with Darkseid point towards this being the same version of that team
