I didn't even realise how much I needed this. This all makes so much more sense now
i know right lmao
Was the mental hospital massacre Legion's fault, Shadow King's fault, or Syd losing control? Who massacred them all?
This entire episode was so aesthetically and cinematically jaw dropping. Every second I was in complete and utter awe.
I think they were trying too hard
@@loujawz you trippin
There was a scene where Syd visits David's room to sleep together. The shot from under the bed shows the door opening and then closing with no feet walking through the doorway. She just appears all of a sudden. So far, absolutely everything is suspect.
no, i think it was intentional. thats a tricky shot to make. i'm not even sure they could make that mistake. it might have been a subtle nod that things just aren't as they seem in terms of Davids story telling.. like whether or not Syd was ever actually in the psych ward.
Keith Montreuil but in episode 2 she talks about having met David there and being trapped in his body there so she had to have actually been there maybe her going to David's room was just in David's head considering he was already dreaming about her and she was actually just in her room?
POssible or syd and all the others don't exists and are just the manifestation of his musltiple personnalities.
This is a strong-ass theory, and it'd fit right in with something from a Marvel story.
There is also an Aesop Fable involving Veritas (Truth) and Falsehood, which were two sculptures (one sculpted by the potter Prometheus, and the other by the apprentice "Trickery") when Falsehood was sculpted, the likeness was uncanny, but the sculptor ran out of clay, and so Falsehood has no feet. This could be digging a bit too deep, but based on what the show has thrown at us so far, it is not unreasonable.
The villian is clearly the Shadow King from the comics. Telepathy antagonist with yellow eyes, heralded by any moment seen under red lighting. Shadow King for season 1 villian.
John Flemings I'd argue he's mojo
I agree. I read the original comics when they came out.
Logan smith session one villain legion
Farouk....
and didn't Farouk try to control Legion on Muir Island around issue 279?
Domino symbol on uniforms: 3 dots and division symbol, i.e. Division Three.
An ester Egg everyone has missed. The girl called her self Syd Barrett right, well when he calls the Hospital looking for her, he tells the person on the phone that he's her father "Max". Well, in real life Syd Barrett the musician was the son of Max Barrett, a famous doctor and writer back in his days.
More Legion PLEASE! I love this show, its new, weird and trippy but keeps u invested enough to want more. I'd love a breakdown of each episode
I just wish it was a Netflix show so we don't have to wait a week for the next episode!!!
Statera Sim yeah but you'd have to wait longer than just a week considering Netflix update by seasons not episode
Statera Sim I'll rather wait a week for a good episode
12 year old me would be terrified by the yellow eyed demon

Tyrion Lannister I'm twelve. I was terrified of the yellow eyed demon. 😈🔫😨
At the opening shots, where he's a kid, and there are toys on the ground next to him, one of the toys is the yellow eyed demon, and it slowly turns as it changes into the next shot.
I'm 12, I was watching this show on rabbit with my friend. It was night, and my friend got too scared to watch the show anymore after the devil with yellow eyes appeared in the corner in the kitchen scene. I ended up watching the show because I love the plot, the twists, and the character Lenny is awesome.
The devil with the yellow eyes may be The Shadow King of the comics.
Please do this to all episodes!
The devil with the Yellow Eyes reminds me of a more grotesque version of the Violator from Spawn. Am I the only one who see this?
That was the first thing I thought of too. I was expecting him to list him with the others.
I saw the Violator too.
Zach Gamemaster he reminds me of the goblin king from the hobbit, with his testicle chin
animalparty reminds me of glutony from 7
Reminds me of a Boomer from Left 4 Dead!
The yellow eyed demon reminds me of the fat well walker from season 2 of TWD
reminds me of the ORIGINAL yellow eyed demon from season 3 of Supernatural
“Original”
Keep it up!!! This was an EXCELLENT breakdown of what is now my favorite show on TV. Episode 2 was even better than the premiere IMO.
i was so tripped out on what was real and what wasn't. Loved this breakdown of legion.
Just finished watching the final episode of season 3.
What a masterpiece.
His disorder is not like schizophrenia, the correct term is actually Dissociative Identity Disorder (formally known as Multiple Personality Disorder). Schizophrenia has to do with seeing and hearing things that are not there whereas DID has to do with having several identities or personalities. At any rate good break down :)
Except that he does see and hear things that aren't there. So it's both :p
No, my point is that schizophrenia is the term for someone who sees and hears things that are not there. The fact that he sees and hears things is due to one of his mutant abilities being psychic, like his father Charles Xavier. His various abilities manifest with each personality/identities thus he has DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) ;)
Indeed, again I am not talking about a doctor in the show. I was simply correcting the person who did the breakdown in the video.
NPX7 Even if he even actually had any of those disorders, it is possible to have both of them, and David clearly shows symptoms of schizophrenia throughout the episode. he doesn't actually show any other identities throughout the show
Indeed, that, however, is not my original point. The statement "he accesses his other powers through schizophrenia" is incorrect. It is true it is not clear that we have seen any other personalities yet, that we know of, but to be honestly we don't actually even know for sure what is real and what is in his mind ;)
In any event, I think my point is rather moot at this point. The show may, in fact, be taking a vastly different direction than the comics. We just have to watch and find out :)
This video makes me appreciate this show even more. This show is masterpiece so far.
so far it's definitely a hell of allot better than the shit shows on the wb and the regular Fox channel1 episode in
Tyshaun Lewis 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've only got one question, Why doesn't Sydney wear gloves?
MarvelKing 9000 She does; once they go to rescue David.
Black Harbinger yeah, but why not before? its only in the scene we know its real
Helena Almeida Perhaps gloves aren't permitted in the psych ward? Perhaps she had to keep her cover so she couldn't have gloves on? I have no idea. But I do know one thing: the plot required her to have gloves on so she had gloves on.
Black Harbinger I don't know, I probably will question everything about the show even if they confirm it
Helena Almeida Same here
I've come to Legion a bit late, but I loved the first episode. I was watching it while doing other stuff and numerous times I had to stop what I was doing and sit down to give it my full attention. That is a rarity for me.
I love your passion and theories on the show! Please keep up with the videos! They help me understand and love the show even more and fulfills my Legion longing until the next week!!
Can you guys do this series again but with references to the comics instead of film techniques?
I love this CZcams channel and how it breaks down all the things in an episode of a favorite show. I especially love how in-depth the video goes, almost to say I get gitty whenever a new video is released.
I had to restart watching this show 2 times before I got through it...1st I was watching with my mom and we keep talking so we keep missing things...then I fell asleep...more about being tired...but I usually would start where I left off...I had to start from the beginning again...but that fight scene was worth it...and this vid cleared a lot of things up so keep doing them please
I couldn't stop watching this. Amazingly explained.
5 years too late but I'm all in on this series now!
I loved this episode and just told a friend over the weekend that I was anticipating your review and analysis. Woo! Going to be the best new show of the season. And, Dan Stevens is amazing!
Outstanding job!
This channel keeps getting better and better.
I am Kenyan and Swahili is our official language here and when I saw 'KUWAKARIBISHA' I was ALL IN! I was already impressed by the visuals alone which I also thought paid homage to Stanley Kubrik which I was on board for but seeing 'KUWAKARIBISHA" made feel I was invited to be a part of the journey....LOVED THE PILOT!
WOW ! Just wow . Proud to be a subscriber !
Loved the video. Please keep going with Legion. Seen two episodes and I haven't been this excited about a new show since The Walking Dead premiered in 2010.
This series is awesome, keep doing videos on it
Show was surprisingly good. Didn't have any expectations but this show has blown me away how good it is. We have been blessed with some really good tv this past year. Netflix marvel shows are top notch, and Stanger Things was just phenomenal. Then on HBO we got Westworld! Just so giddy to have so many awesome and thought provoking stuff to watch
outstanding breakdown. Please make more of these.
I feel like i've been waiting my whole life for a show like this , ty for explaining these blank points ^^
I love your take on this and love the show.
More of these please!
Legion is a groundbreaking series -- and I can hardly believe how much was packed into ep.1 -- it had to have been broken up. Reminds me very much of BBC long episodes (even the tone and look). I am in love with this series. And Dan Stevens.
Great job!
Please keep making videos on this show. Big fan of your channel!
I'M INTERESTED. Keep making Legion videos!!!
Please continue with the breakdowns of the Legion episodes! How else will we understand everything that's going on?
great stuff guys!!!!!!!!
One of the best-observed analyses of the Legion series I have come across.
YES keep making legion videos!
please keep doing this for every legion 's chapter !!
Pleaae do more, this was one of the most original pilot episodes I have ever seen (and I love Fargo). Keep up tge great breakdown vids guys!
The episode for me was very confusing but thanks for clearing my head a bit. I'm a huge Marvel fan I got hooked on the show!!!
Genius, thanks for explaining everything 👍👍👍 this is very helpful
Good Lord! Way more info than I was looking for.
thx a looot 4 this breakdown
i was watching the show, and thinking abt watching your analysis after, lol
u rock! keep it uup
Awesome show!
You do a decent job nice work
I'm sold, gotta watch this!
I love Legion, more videos please!
I loved the pilot. Keep doing videos on this show please!! It's awesome
We need more of these!
Please make more videos of Legion! The first episode was one of the ballsiest, most amazing things I've seen on TV.
5:04 was a nice touch
It was such a trippy first episode! It completely won me over. I roughly tried to catch all the little details because it was so chaotic and I didn't want to miss anything.
Great recap and also hope this show gets around, it is really amazing from almost avery aspect.
Great analysis. Make more Legion content!
Excellent insights. I knew I liked it, but didn't understand why
I really, really hope this show doesn't get the Arrested Development treatment (where it's too complex and condensed for your average viewer).
I hope the opposite. The "average viewer" can have Big Bang Theory. Give me complexity and ambiguity, like Mr. Robot.
UnashamedlyHentai I agree in prospect but if normal people don't "get" the show then it gets cancelled because of fewer viewers. So sadly I don't think legion would last very long if it was the way we want it :(
Well, the sadness is that not many viewers think like this... and as much as I like a series that are a bit more complex , I hope this wont end up like Hannibal as an example.
makes more sense now!
thanks!
I loved Legion. Keep on reviewing it, por favor!!
please do more on Legion this TV series is epic and I love your guys's breakdowns on all my favorite television shows please include this one as well
4 years ago, wow
Thanks for the recap bc i was lost!!
Waiting for EP 02 recap 😎
Can't wait to watch this in November when it's out for download in Bluray quality
Smart idea to do this series. I am now subscribed to your channel.
Nice vid. I actually thought the circular room called more to the tricycle laps around the hotel, in The Shining. Either way; certainly plenty of references to Kubrick.
Nice video. This show is quite confusing at times. Thanks for detailing the show in a way that I could understand it better.
plz continue dissecting the legion episodes!!
I'm pretty sure they announced somewhere that Legion is connected to the X-Men movies.
Never did
Really like this show!!! I hope they continue with more seasons :)
This is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Very original
Yes do more of these videos
More Legion breakdowns! Best new show hands down!
Definitely my favorite show I'm watching right now.
I really loved this premiere even though I was so confused. I hope it stays
Nisiquiera entiendo del todo el ingles y aun así los reviews que he visto tuyos son de lo mejor que he visto en youtube, por favor sigue haciendo reviews de Legion, PD Ame tus reviews de Logan
OMG there he is The Devil with the Yellow eyes at 5:05- 5:06 right over Eriks left shoulder! AND he grew hair.. PLOT TWIST!
so glad I wasn't the only one who really really liked this. no one I know liked it.
Definitely interested
It's all in his head. In the comics, when one of his personalities show up, they literally take over his body. That might be the reason why the body swapped back to David after his memories came back without having to touch her again. Maybe that's the big reveal at the end of the show. Charles Xavier and another doctor tried to cure Legion of his multiple personalities. Read age of M. Just guessing though..
Age of x. My bad
i still don't think the devil with yellow eyes i think its gonna turn out to be the shadow king who possessed davids body in the comics
Please! Do more videos about Legion!
When you watch this video in the middle of the night and keep hearing weird ass sounds and now you’re scared bc of the devil with the yellow eyes
please do more of these
The Shadow King i believe is the yellow eyed fellow inside davids heads twisting his thoughts and personas up
love this show !
So good
Dan Stevens is incredible in it
i just watched the first ep and im so cnofused. so many questions. so many aesthetics. what even?
keep doing videos on Legion please!!
