The "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" Season 1 thread

[Ms. Elaine]

Um, I think you need to read this.... and there afterwards toss out the issue about ratings forever out the window.

The CW’s Chief Doesn’t Care When or Where Audiences Watch His Shows

You believe that if you want.

 

[Ms. Elaine]

So arrow dead too then?

No, Arrow is safe.

 

[Ain't That Something]

You believe that if you want.

It's ok to say you don't know what your talking bout

The budget will more likely get cut before they cancel a show that is third in ratings

Legends Of Tomorrow Is So Expensive It Probably Won't Get A Second Season

I can post links too.

And this article came out long before the show's struggle <1.0 ratings.


I'm not not quite sure what you expect a man whose network has 99.9% shytty ratings to say other than some bullshyt about not caring about ratings. Ratings matter because shows need to be cancelled to make room for new ones. And this isn't cable, regardless of their bullshyt Netflix deal, The CW is still heavily reliant on advertising.

Anyways...I've come to terms with the fact sarah gon' be fighting her demons forever.

CW in its own 10 years of its existence NEVER cared about ratings... their ratings always been historically low. They can get away with it because they are owned by both CBS and WB.... they get their success through other methods such as Netflix and Hulu and word of mouth. The whole reason DCTV even exist is due to Arrow and people catching it on Netflix.

I mean read this FORBES article. Ratings to them are irrelevant.

Believe a website blog of speculation, brehs!

Plain and simple... that network don't base their shows on ratings alone. If it was the case iZombie would of been long gone and it's about to get greenlit for a 3rd season due to the cult following. This is 2016, people got the benefit of DVR, internet streaming and not just catching it live on prime time. So prime time numbers for a network that hardly ever relied on those numbers is pointless. Also, what that BS old ass article failed to mention, CW is owned by CBS & WB which means a budget for Legends of Tomorrow can be backed by TWO mega-parent companies rather than one. Had this been just one studio, then it would of been a concern, but the production cost is directly SPLIT and even then it is low budgeted, so no money isn't lost.

LOL, wut? The CW routinely borrows from its owners, CBS and WB because it is constantly in the red. It can't support itself.

And rumor has it, they are about to remove all their shows from Netflix so good bye to that revenue.

I don't know why you think a network with shytty ratings saying they don't care about ratings means anything. It's like a guy dogging a girl's looks once she rejects him. It's sour grapes.

And if they don't care about ratings, then why do they hype up The Flash's numbers?

Right...

Don't worry. It's getting cancelled this year.

 

[Ironman]

Are they going to have firestorm do anything except throw fireballs?

He's one of DCs most powerful yet he's nerfed like crazyHe is way more than a human torch

 

[Ironman]

Well he is

Next Episode

Spoiler

This won't be the first prison I've broken out of

...........................I need that crossover I don't care dammnit

Firestorm has the ability to rearrange the atomic and subatomic structure of inorganic matter, rearranging subatomic particles to create objects of different atomic characteristics of equal mass. He can not only change and transmute the atomic composition of an object (e.g., transmuting lead into gold of equal mass) but he can also change its shape. He initially could not, however, affect organic matter without painful, even lethal, feedback. As Jason Rusch became Firestorm however, that weakness had all but dissipated. With old and new variations the organic limitation does not extend to his person as he can change himself at will, allowing him to regenerate lost and damaged tissue, boost his immune system, shapeshift, and survive indefinitely without food, water and air. Much like a Green Lantern's limitations, Firestorm can only create items whose workings are understood by the "driver" of the Firestorm matrix. Unlike a Green Lantern's creations, Firestorm's alterations are permanent unless he reverses them.[1] Following Raymond's resurrection duringBrightest Day, Firestorm gained the ability to switch "drivers" between Ronnie and Jason at will; before that only the active driver was in control, with the dormant consciousness only able to advise the other on what action to take rather than do anything themselves.

Firestorm has also demonstrated the ability to fly at fantastic (but unmeasured) speeds, to render himself intangible and thereby pass through solid objects harmlessly, to generate destructive and concussive blasts of fusion energy from his hands, to absorb radiation harmlessly, and superhuman levels of strength and resistance to injury.

heavy hitter like the molecule man....

I thought his molecular abilities would be nerfed not ignored straight up

 

[Optimus Prime]

CW will bring it back but they don't need this for 22 episodes. Give it 10 -13, have it come back in January. "The 100" and "Supernatural" probably cost just as much to produce and get half the ratings and they are both getting renewed.

Also, "Legends" need to bring in another B/C list hero that's got some name recognition. I don't care about any of the current ones especially the Scofields...

He doesnt have them.... Yet.... we see he can absorb energy and fly, but the transmutation ability hasnt happened yet. Although that shyt is godlike so if they gonna put it into the story they should start it with some one off shyt he can only do at a time.
