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.
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.
my comic days were win the eighties and nineties with the majority of that being in the middle 85-95 span.
