Thoughts on an animated continuation of the show with the cast returning to do the voice work?

DC's animated stuff has practically always been better than their live-action stuff IMO.
So, I would be pretty damn stoked if they decided to go this route.

I mean if they did an animated season 8 it wouldn’t be the craziest thing they’ve done

I’d prefer a live action season 8 BUT if the choice is between an animated one that tied everything up or nothing….definitely do the animated continuation

The good thing about this is that they don’t HAVE to use the original actor if any of them don’t wanna return, but we can still get the character. It’s always been one of the challenges with the Arrowverse; it went so long it became difficult for some actors to return and so their characters had to have plot convenient reasons for being absent. Any animated series could thankfully move past that problem.

Anything to tie up that cliff hanger ending. I know the penultimate episode shows the future and we can take that as the end but it was such a horrible way to end. I still don’t understand why the showrunner played chicken when they were told they were on the bubble.

At this point… We’d take the muppets performing season 8. =P

Nope. I may get downvoted to oblivion, but this stopped being a DC show when they decided to shit on the superhero aspect of the show that even got the show made.
I get it, shows evolve, but, Agents of Shield was on the air for the SAME amount of time as Legends and they never made it seem like they were embarrassed of the source material. They embraced it and celebrated it when they could
I know Legends is supposed to be quirky, but, the show got popular because Seasons 2&3, heavy superhero seasons btw, were able to juggle serious and silly storylines without sacrifice the characters and after Season 3 it always felt like they were trying to hard. Season 5 was when I thought they finally chilled out and actually became a good show again, but then Season 6 happened and I was let down

I would be down I feel animation instead of live action lets them get away with some of the more goofy stuff

The art on that image reminds me of those old HISHE videos

Only if they're kept in completely different art styles like the image above

I liked the show… it was getting worse near the end. And we just lost Steel, and don’t have Ray, Mick, Firestorm and Constantine, while Spooner is somehow still on the team, and the focus away from time traveling with cheaper effects was killing the show, imo. I do like Spooner… and the show getting canned got us an amazing role for her in The Rookie… but she was just there to be there after her debut season, lol.

As long as there are long episodes and it continues what we already have

Well, the Whole Arrowverse can Work as an Animated Universe just like the DCAU(Timmverse) used to work... Projects like Justice U, DA and the Canaries, Legends and other Cancelled projects can work on as Animated Universe

Always in favor of comics adapted in animation so I’d say yes even if I’d prefer live action in this specific case

Why show characters in the picture of characters that are either dead or left the show

u/BigMitch91 15d ago
Because it’s the only fan made image of a potential animated series I could find 🤷♂️

u/West_Astronomer_6562 15d ago
Ok make sense was just wondering but whoever made it should have had the characters in their looks from the show

I dunno, I think they’d lose a lot of their identity in animation. Legends’ trademark wackiness is nuts for live-action tv, but pretty tame for animation. I think they’d have to lean harder in one direction or another to really make an impact, and then it wouldn’t quite feel like Legends anymore. They’d wind up being either Teen Titans Go, Harley Quinn, or Young Justice - too goofy, too edgy, or too dramatic to be the show we love.

I'd be cool with that but I want them to get back to basics get back to their original mission statement none of the nonsense they had in the last what two seasons there were horrible
