This show is confusing. Idk what's real or their hallucination 😭

0 Upvotes

I mean the cinematography and film effects are amazing but it seems they went overboard on season 2 onwards. I don't get it anymore. So I paused watching and took a break. Everything is confusing. It's not explained or no one is even trying to make sense of what is happening anymore. I feel like it takes out the mystery or thrill to watch because everything is happening either in just someone's head or a hallucination.

Why Does the Mother Duet Work? Spoiler

9 Upvotes

Cause the set piece in the series finale where David and Gabrielle sing the whole song does, somehow. But it occupies the spot of an ā€œaffirmation beatā€ and the song itself recounts a toxic relationship. One-sidedly against the mom too. And Noah Hawley isn’t dumb. He hasn’t somehow missed this nuance. (If you can call the song nuanced.) He’s a music head. He made a choice. And during the duet, part of me is thinking, ā€œThis is all wrong. This song is not about a resolution toward healthy commitment to one’s offspring.ā€ But, somehow it’s not all wrong? I mean it helps that Mother is almost ridiculously beautiful as a piece of music. But maybe it’s that even the dysfunction described in the lyrics would count as a Major Upgrade in David and Gabrielle’s family lives? Maybe the two are so damaged neither can imagine anything healthier? I dunno. What do people think?

Rewatching, again lol, was Sydney always this obnoxious?

Just started my 4th or 5th rewatch, its obviously amazing and one of my favorite shows. But I forgot how insufferable Sydney is! There are only a few moments where I take her side on any decision, but good lord she bugs me.

The Shadow King Family Portrait (WIP) Spoiler

I started off with a portrait of Lenny, but I wanted more. After adding Farouk I knew I had to add the other forms of the Shadow King in a ā€˜family portrait’ style painting. I’m very new to painting, so I’m practicing on the side as I complete the sketch portion.

Am I the only one who thinks the show could be brought back?

0 Upvotes

Even after the show ended, there’s SO much they could explore! New mutants, new enemies, or maybe even a kind of slice of life story where Charles raises David and teaches him to use his powers, but David grows beyond what Charles thought him to be capable of! Is there anyone else who agrees the show should be brought back in some way?

Played a game "Happy Game" that made me think of young David

14 Upvotes

I must have got "Happy Game" from a giveaway or bundle. I have been combing through my library for new stuff recently and stumbles across this. Here's a short description. A little boy falls asleep to a horrible nightmare. Can you make him happy again? Happy Game is a point and click psychedelic horror adventure game.

I was playing last night and I just kept imagining the boy as David dealing being messed with by the devil with yellow eyes. There's a full walkthrough on youtube without commentary, but I think the best experience is trying to solve the puzzles. I checked the price and it's currently $3.28 in Steam through Sep. 9th.

Like every minute of Legion I've watched, I was playing in the dark with the volume up (but with headphones).

I see shades of Legion in Alien: Earth

165 Upvotes

I'm loving Alien: Earth and I hope you're watching it, too. I loved Legion when it came out and still re-watch it from time to time. I've also watched some Fargo and will finish the series at some point.

In Alien: Earth, I am reminded of the camera work from Legion with long trailing shots and watching the camera start out wide and continually pull at tighter focus onto a single character. I also like several of the dissolves in S1:E4.

Alien: Earth lacks the surrealism that I loved in Legion, but I still see Noah Hawley's fingerprints on it. If you're not watching this show, you ought to be!

Legion Season 1 (Confused)

Post image
165 Upvotes

I just finished episode 2 of Season 1, and I still feel like I don’t really understand what’s going on, especially with what’s real and what’s just David’s delusions. Should I keep watching, or consider other options? I’m thinking of dropping the show and coming back to it later, but I also feel like it might get easier to follow as the story progresses. What do you think? At which episode does the plot start to become clearer?

David's split personalities Spoiler

0 Upvotes

So i genuinely think this show was going for the idea that his split personalities are other David's in the multiverse. It adds to his "flawed narrator " idea. He doesn't know which world is his.

Since the season episode about the multiverse and the inclusion of time travel, I think it's all connected. However im sure it's having a negative effect on his mental health.

Literally other decisions he'd make arguing with him.

It goes with the idea of him creating other worlds in the astral plain, syd growing up a second time in the astral plain and being able to Literally create pocket realms real people can enter.

And season 2 makes it seem he's actually been moved to a separate timeline to replace evil future David. So he goes from 10005 earth to 17040.


r/LegionFX 22d ago

Are David's other personalities from the multiverse in the show? Spoiler

7 Upvotes

So it's not until after he looks into the multiverse i believe that he gets more than just the British personality right? So could all the other selves be his multiverse selves?


r/LegionFX 22d ago

I think it's figured it out... Spoiler

1 Upvotes

I think the DID David has is incorporated into his powers, so through the astral plane he sees other multiverses. Why else involve that?

In season 1 when we see Oliver awake again, he swears his wife was Chinese. Maybe they grabbed a similar but different Oliver from the astral plain.

In that case, I think David's story does start in the 10005 universe and ends in the 17040. How? When David us grabbed by the orb after season 1. He wasn't taken to his own future, he was swapped with another david. His British sounding David.

They wanted to stop him from turning evil so they not only hatched a plan to help Shadow king, but switch David's for a potentially better one.

When Syd sees him in season 2 or who ever sees him first they comment that he looks the same... but it's only been a year!!

The show originally intended to link with the films but changed their direction. So in universe they literally change timelines...

David's original origins is in the 10005. That's why Faruk saw the apocalypse wheelchair in David's memory but Xavier in season 3 doesn't get paralyzed. David was sent forward in time and that WAS him in deadpool 2. And xavier and the xmen look young in deadpool 2 because they are coming back to get him.

Essex is the voice in his narration of season 2. So season 1 is in 10005, season 2 and 3 are in 17040.

Sending me into psychosis

33 Upvotes

I've been binging this show for two days now, for hours at a time, to the point where I will avoid sleeping just to watch. My brain is like picking up on things the narrator and Farouk and etc is saying and trying to make it bigger than what it is. Like it's making me question every single thing. I was in bed and genuinely started tweaking thinking i could melt glass with my touch. I couldn't. But am I just not powerful enough? Like wtf this show is making me crazy i had to turn it off and touch grass. What is real? It's like existential dread

"Alien: Earth"(FX, 2025) Legion Showrunner Noah Hawley's new series

76 Upvotes

I loath Sci-fi Horror. "Event Horizon"(1997) <spit>

"Alien: Earth"(FX, 2025) Ep1&2 F@CKING Awesome!!!

Full-on Hawley experience. "Legion's" descending musical flourishes into commercial breaks. It's there :)

So, what if, psychologically, twelve year-old 1980's child "you's" was put in an android body power fantasy vs. Xenomorphs

Highly recommend. Check it out

I have a weird question... Spoiler

0 Upvotes

So i theorized that David is originally the kid from deadpool 2 eating cereal. Switches father moves him to the 60s when he becomes evil in the future. Now if he is that kid, then he'd be created similar to x23 fir the timeline to line up.

But after going to the past, time is eaten by the time eaters and his origins change to what we see in season 3.

But the weird question is, when he changes the past in season 3 and remains with his parents, would the damage caused by the time eaters be undone? If so, does xavier return to his age in the films and how does the new family dynamic stay in play?

Because Xavier in legion is a ww2 soldier but not in the films. The past tech and future tech mingle together in legion.

Just for fun, a hypothetical.

My Legion theory to connect to the films Spoiler

10 Upvotes

The show legion appears to be mostly in the 60s or 70s but has futuristic tech and songs. One theory fans have was because time is crunched from David's time travel in season 3. But why would the future be crunched into it if David is from the 60s?

But what if David is from the future? In Deadpool 2, we see cereal kid in Essex house and he's the same kid who plays young David. Essex created a kid using Xaviers DNA like they did X23. He becomes a threat in the future like we see in season 2.

Then Switches father sends David back in time to live with the Hallers. Because of this, time is massively crunched, creating a new timeline with Xavier in ww2 and time corrects itself, making xavier and Gabriel actually give birth to David. Then the show plays out as we see and Switch fixes her father's mistake or finishes his work.

The narrator in season 2 is John Hamm who was originally asked to be sinister.

Recently finished the show! Have some things on my mind Spoiler

22 Upvotes

So recently (I want to say about a week or a week and a half ago), I finished Legion and I have to say this is my new favorite show! But there are some things on my mind. Apologies if this is too much, btw!

Firstly, why does Farouk have a change of heart at the end of the series? He’s tormented David for over thirty years and just suddenly decides he wants to help David? I read somewhere that it was because him losing both Charles and David could have affected his views and stuff like that and I also read that it was just because he knew that David had grown too powerful for him to stop but it’s not really explained well. And I don’t personally buy the ā€œhe’s like a son to me nowā€ thing

Secondly, season 2 was good but it felt covuluted. There was a lot happening like the insanity side plot that i feel like brought it down.

Thirdly, why does everyone just suddenly trust Farouk after he shows Syd what David MIGHT do in the future? I mean I know he disguised himself as Melanie but Syd really didnt find it weird that she was there at that time just suddenly started telling her that David would destroy the world and that she has to help Farouk? I don’t know but it’s a bit irritating

Hi! Just started watching

I was looking for an answer to a question i had, i found another question while looking.

What does ā€œDYEā€ or ā€œYEDā€ mean in the context of the Shepard dog in the first season. I see ALOT of people saying it but no explanation. Couldn’t find one on google either.

In the future can you guys spell out these little well known acronyms? Appreciate any answers!
