I stopped caring about the differences from reboot to reboot long ago. This time around, the characters are clearly inexperienced and being written more like children than teams of the past. Still, I find them to be earnest and likable. I understand why Bendis has detractors, but his take makes it seem fun and exciting to be a Legionnaire. I'm OK with that for the time being.NOCNORGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141460260776319521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-33340001359302823832020-01-22T18:13:39.984-05:002020-01-22T18:13:39.984-05:00I just don't know who they are trying to marke...I just don't know who they are trying to market this series to. <br /><br />Old-Schoolers? Definately not. Since there is a huge disconnect with the original Legion. <br /><br />New Readers? Definately not. How can they capture the attention span of this generation with the hap-hazard, muddled, "WTF" is going on and "WhoTF" are these people? I guess adding Robin is supposed to bridge this? Dumb. <br /><br />Intermediate readers of the Legion? Maybe. But, what kind of sustainable audience is that?

Though I'd prefer no Lanterns, and we already have White (or Black, though that was Earth 2, if I recall) Witch.<br /><br />Heck, while we are at it, if new members are key, just give us Lamprey, Nightwind and Power Boy already!Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14267403631542001938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-59355591260205631772020-01-22T10:16:15.034-05:002020-01-22T10:16:15.034-05:00I totally agree with you.

Maybe if it was set in the 32nd century and they were descendants or legacy carachters so that the OLD stories could still be 'true'... This feels like meeting an old friend who suddenly has personality disorder - the same feeling every time I read a rebooted Legion book Kinofreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925596842605783593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-86348531151423714612020-01-20T22:46:33.533-05:002020-01-20T22:46:33.533-05:00*sigh* Instead of focusing on the many, many membe...*sigh* Instead of focusing on the many, many members we have yet to learn ANYTHING about, we get yet another character who has NOTHING to do with LOSH history canon become the focus instead. Someone please get Bendis off the book because this is just more of the self-indulgent wankery he's known for.Ray Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092999455029142915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-47700572931160223442020-01-20T15:03:49.089-05:002020-01-20T15:03:49.089-05:00I'm guessing that Mon-el is a descendant of so...I'm guessing that Mon-el is a descendant of some type based on Triplicate Girls's interrupted comment and his expectation that Jon should recognize him.
