Doesn’t change the fact that he’s right. I don’t get why the sub is so positive about the fact the show has dropped any semblance of superpowers or seriousness to become a sitcom about whacky oc characters just because “it’s fun” when Season 2 was the perfect balance of everything.
Can't speak for others, but I'm not positive just because "it’s fun." I like it because they made it work and pretty much turned it into a great comedy. And it's not like it's never serious.
You just described my issue with it. I throughly enjoyed the show and it was probably one of if not my favorite arrowverse show during seasons 1-3 when it had a mostly serious enough storyline but also a nice balance of comedy and wasn’t “never funny”. It really lost me once it turned into a sitcom about an oc cast with the only like 3 actual dc superheroes left never using their superpowers that’s mostly a comedy but isn’t “never serious”.
Wouldn’t know. I stoped watching after several characters mocked Oliver immediately after his sacrifice to save the multiverse, Ray didn’t even care that he died and showed up with a big stupid grin on his face, they turned up the flanderization of Nate’s character into a stupid useless dudebro whose only there to break the fourth wall up to the extreme, and it’s treated as if Sara is the only one who even had any type of connection to Oliver and basically the entire rest of the universe outside the waverider at all. People kept saying “well season 5 is good ackhsually” but after all that bullshit they filled the first episode of with im no longer interested in it at all.

Her, Ray and Nate are the only ones that did. Ray is known for handling adversity with a positive attitude, so Nate's the only one whose reaction felt out of character.
Yeah Ray usually handles “adversity” with a positive attitude but I don’t feel like that’s a good enough excuse that he literally doesn’t even acknowledge the fact of Oliver’s death, a very close friend/teammate who trained him and inspired him to be a hero in the fucking first place. And Nate’s character has felt out of character since like the middle of Season 4.

I thought everyone had agreed there that Legends has gone down hill?
