So I noticed legion was avialable on one of my freebie things and I don’t rewatch stuff much but I was like. Yeah I liked that and gonna watch it again. Am liking it on a second rewatch and love the trippy way its done so I wonder how other people felt and looked at its rotten tomatoes rating. Wow. So realizing how unpopular it is I decided I would post my opinion here. I love it. My only issue with it is the body swap power seems to work inconsistantly.

EDITED - Figure I should edit this. So it turns out I was looking at the rotten tomatoes for the legion movie. Which I actually saw and feel is better than the 20% its rated I don’t have the strong feelings of how good it is as I am for the legion marvel series. So I now see the marvel series has great reviews and based on feedback here I realize it is not an unpopular opinion.

      There was definitely at least one Legion comic book series. That’s where the character came from.

      Yes, it’s a great show. Noah Hawley made it, who also made the Fargo series and stuff

          You’re correct, he came out of a new mutants arc, back about 40 years ago. He did also eventually get a solo series, as well as sort of a team series, but those were much later, and certainly not where the character came from. He was just a character that would occasionally pop up in X books for many years before actually having a book. Unless the other person was more just saying the character came from A comic book series, not specifically a Legion one.

          But anyway, X-Men Legacy (Vol. 2, 2012) was basically a Legion solo book. Si Spurrier wrote it, had 25 issues, and was a lot of fun.

          Then Si Spurrier returned to write Legion of X, well into the Krakoan era. Was basically a team book of Legion, Nightcrawler, Juggernaut, Pixie, and maybe someone else? Legion and Nightcrawler were definitely the main character focuses though.

          Neither resemble the tv show in any way.
