I don't mind Sara doing the intro, but I still wish they'd just let Mick do it every time as long as he can take shots at the team and the show.

EDIT: Okay, Ray acknowledging that he's fought someone like Kuasa before. That's a subtle nod to the Vixen series than Oliver's line on Arrow about him and Mari having an animated experience or however that line went.

Metahumans illegal in the future? Interesting!
 
Everyone in that room Gary is a civilian. Stupid line.
 
I hate that Amaya has to waste her time with Nate.
 
Maybe they should find out why ARGUS is like this before jumping in?
Opening all the cells was not a good idea.
 
I never understood why they have them touch their amulets as if its some magic button to activate the magic. Just wearing it should be enough.
 
Now see, Legends can get away with this sort of continuous levity that I don't think works as well on something like The Flash, even though I did like the humor on tonight's episode. Plus, it's Nate tripping.
 
Nates annoying.

Cue classic "believe in yourself" superhero speech.
 
This bickering between the Legends and Time Bureau is getting old now.
 
Gideon saying "What a *****!" did make me laugh, though!
 
Not a bad episode overall. Nate tripping out was a bit goofy though.
 
That scene at the end could've been from almost any 80s movie featuring kids ever. That or the recent IT film or Stranger Things.
 
Zari was kinda bland? But it is her first ep, and they did have a lot to do between setting up the ep's background, squeezing in the Time Bureau and giving each Legend screen time. Mick, Nate and Ray kept this ep rolling with fun. Nate actually wasn't annoying, and Gary is growing on me but he and the Time Bureau outstayed their welcome on this ep. Less is best. Sara is definitely meeting her matches this season or is that just me? Will be interesting if they did a 3-way fight between Sara, Sharpe and Kuasa.
 
I thought Zari was a little underdeveloped in her debut episode, but that could change in future episodes as the Legends get to know her more. I think she could potentially have some great chemistry with Mick in particular.

This episode had some good fight scenes and chase scenes, and I thought the basic concept of a totalitarian future society controlled by ARGUS was interesting, especially with the apparent bans on metahumans and religion. I just wish the episode spent more time on this plot thread, because it seemed like they sort of rushed through it because they needed to focus on other plot threads. Hopefully Zari joining the team will add something new to the team dynamic.

I'm pretty tired of the Nate-Amaya relationship. Their relationship was never very compelling for me to begin with, and it's only getting more tiresome as time goes by.
 
I thought the episode was ok.

Was hoping they would look into why ARGUS was hating on metahumans.

I can barely remember the toon. Ray says he dealt with Kuasa before but he couldn't recognize her?

I never understood why they have them touch their amulets as if its some magic button to activate the magic. Just wearing it should be enough.

Same.
 
I just assume this future period is an anachronism caused by the Legends. It conveniently explains why its utterly nonsensical, with Argus both going mustache-twirling evil, taking over the country(?), and being totally incompetent.
 
I know "Metahuman" is a very general term but at begining of the show when they were called out at Metahumans..

I just can not get behind a moron with a Fire gun is a "Meta Human" what if someone else picks it up, guess they are a metahuman now and Mick is not.

Sarah who is just trained to fight would mean anyone trained to fight is a metahuman, guess that female agent is a metahuman as she fights as well if not better.

Ray I guuuueeessss could be classified as he actually has an entire suit.

BTW has he gotten.. I wont say dumber as he is still smart.. how about less wise.. year after year.. In Arrow he was no where near this goofy and naive, how he manages to not die is surprising. And I mean from his own team not killing him.

Good some one started talking about this; they been pushing this some what in the flash with Julien and other normal human's having fear of meta human's like those with mutant powers in the marvel verse

and what Japanese English voiced dubbed anime's like the science side of the anime called a simple magical index / a Scientific rail gun universe . the they have the same formula as the X-men on the Science side characters and they do call them there mutant's and the rogue half the magic side that like to commit crimes have carrying out
Terrorist attack on both the science side and normal humanity. there's a video game coming out but it's cross over using mech 's for now

have been doing prior to this in the live action flarrow verse.

cause half them turned to crime or were made to like when savitar created some of them and manipulated them. as to the magic user's there only certain type's that are consider meta magic users. and it has to be in their blood to some degree .

it's only been mentioned in three place where Dc's involved the comic's, the animated verse and video game verse's of DC .

Population

[FONT=&quot]The terms "meta" and "metahuman" do not only refer to humans born with biological variants. Superman and Martian Manhunter (aliens) as well as Wonder Woman (a near-goddess) and Aquaman (an Atlantean) are referred to in many instances as "metahumans." It can refer to anyone with extranormal powers, no matter the origins and including those not born with such power. There are roughly 1.3 million metahumans on Earth, 99.5% of which are considered "nuisance-level" (such as kids who can bend spoons with their mind and the old lady "who keeps hitting at Powerball").[1] The other 0.5% are what Checkmate and the O.M.A.C.s consider Alpha- and Beta-level threats. For example, Superman and Wonder Woman were categorized as Alpha-level, while Metamorpho was considered a Beta.[/FONT]
Homo Magi

Main article: Homo MagiSome humans have inherent ability to utilize magic, and these humans are part of a branch, or offshoot, of humanity referred to as the "Homo Magi", who have interbred with normal humans. As with aliens and mutants with superhuman powers, Homo Magi are also often classed together as Metas by the general public.

here's the vidoe game part froma gamecalled Dc univers on line

Meta heroes gain their powers from their unique genetic heritage and are mentored by Superman.

Meta








Meta refers to subjects that are beyond modern standards of reality. Such an example can be found in the term "Metahuman"; a term used to describe any being on planet Earth with abilities beyond human limits.
Following the release of the Exobytes by Future Lex Luthor, Superman took on the role of mentoring the new Meta-based heroes while Lex Luthor took to mentoring the new Meta-based villains.
The terms "Meta Science" and "Meta Technology" are used in a similar way to "Metahuman" to refer to sciences and technology "beyond Earth-based standards"; usually the terms are used to refer to any Extraterrestrial/Extradimensional technology or Earth-based technology that exceeds what is considered "standard" to a considerable degree.
Metagene

During their attempted invasion of Earth, the Dominators discovered that some humans had a "biological variant" they called the "Metagene". Scientifically defined as the genetic source of an Earth-born metahuman's "super abilities", this gene often lies dormant within an individual until a moment of extraordinary physiological stress activated it, and upon activation it would use the source of the biostress as a catalyst for "genetic change," resulting in metahuman abilities. However, examples have also arisen where individuals are born with their metagene already active or their metagene suddenly becomes active later in life with no apparent instigation.
It is possible for individuals skilled in science and biology to manipulate, dampen or modify the activities of the metagene: while the Dominators were able to devise a "Gene Bomb" able to accelerate the metagene activity to the point of cellular and physical instabilities, Earth scientists have been able to create devices that can also repress the metagene; enabling a metahuman to be incarcerated in a prison facility.


The origin of the metagene can be traced back to the alien overlord Lord Vimana of the Vimanian alien race who, over 3 million years ago, in an effort to create a race of super powered slaves for their empire, forced their worker drones to mate with humanity's ancestors Australopithecus afarensis (3 million years ago), and later Homo erectus (1.5 million years ago). While it is unknown what became of the Vimanians, the genetic potential of the metagene was discovered in Homo sapiens (500,000 - 250,000 years ago) by the White Martian race. The White Martians performed experiments on these primitive humans and changed how the metahuman phenotype was expressed by the metageneTrivia


  • "Metahuman" is a term used to describe superhumans in the DC Universe and is roughly synonymous with the way the term "Mutant" is used in the Marvel Universe and "Posthuman" in the Wildstorm and Ultimate Marvel Universes.
  • Use of the term "Metahuman" in reference to superheroes was coined in 1986 by author George R. R. Martin, first in the Superworld role playing system, and then later in his Wild Cards series of novels.
  • The Dominators speculate that the location of the Metagene is somewhere near the brain.
  • There are roughly 1.3 million metahumans on Earth, 99.5% of which are considered "nuisance-level" (such as kids who can bend spoons with their mind and the old lady "who keeps hitting at Powerball"). The other 0.5% are what Checkmate and the OMACs consider alpha, beta and gamma level threats. For example, Superman and Wonder Woman were categorized as alpha level, while Metamorpho was considered a beta level and Ratcatcher was considered a gamma level.
  • The People's Republic of China Metahuman Program focuses on the highly controversial and illegal usage of Durlan alien technology. Resulting "Super Functionaries" of the program include August Captain in Iron, Socialist Red Guardsman, Shaolin Robot and Immortal Man in Darkness.

here's the dcAu's
Definitions, Metahumans Metahuman


Metahuman was a term used by Static to describe himself, when he felt that mutant or "Bang Baby" were too derogatory.[1]
It would later be adapted by those in the government, such as General Hardcastle, to refer to all regular-born humans who had their genome mutated to give them extraordinary powers.[2]
It was used by the general public to refer to all those who had superpowers.[3]

where the flarrow verse is involved it hasn't been fully Explained or Explored /Defined properly yet. yet.


I just can not get behind a moron with a Fire gun is a "Meta Human" what if someone else picks it up, guess they are a metahuman now and Mick is not.
yes both my youngest sister and that watch both this show and the flash


came to the conclusion that this may have to do with what ever the tim,e maters did to hm as chronos they both mentally reprogrammed him , trained him , gave him high tech weapon and may given him abilties like the pilgram one of the time masters bounty hunters assasin's of the time master body. as rip said some of their members were given abilities where he was cause they were using him and they made clear in season 2 end that rip was manipulated from the point they made him a member and gave him a ship that he wasn't bright at all compared to his wife and he didn't show powers. it's possible that Rory likely the pilgram may have some abilitys but hasn't shown it cause it's dorment &some of his memory's are repressed

Sarah who is just trained to fight would mean anyone trained to fight is a metahuman, guess that female agent is a metahuman as she fights as well if not better.


yeah the deal there is in the comic's any that uses the pit is a super human


they gain Enhanced strength which above normal human above average , and peak human strength but not above super human or Enhanced super human strenght. the latter of which is above class 100 tons strenght and they shown Enhance agility and intellect. but since the live action version of the flarrow verse has named the down side of what the pit grant's you the blood lust which doesn't look like that at all in the live action verse. sheand what thea used to have as that just look like snarling weirdow that let people allow them to kill them but other people can hold them down in group. in the comic's and animated series when the persion in in the maddness of just coing out of the pit after supposedly being near death no one , no one could hold them,down alone or in a group un less they are super human or are above normal human strength and they the person going through pit's madess are histerical like they are smiling while they are killing , there have been other portrail's of blood lust people in animated and animes too and the live action version via arrow doesn't look right at all . the blood luster are ether happy laughing people looking like they've lost their minds with happynessand getting pleasure in ki8lling
while in arrow it just them growling/ and snarlaing.

anything good benefit wise like the thing's I mention that would make them meta-human were down played in the live-action version here in this universe where arrow was involved and this show as well and sadly the same was done with vandal savage who was able to smack the hell out of super man cause he had cave man strength added to that of the abilities he got asteroid's radiation that made him both smart and immortal and Ehancely strong.




Ray I gueess could be classified as he actually has an entire suit.

BTW has he gotten.. I wont say dumber as he is still smart.. how about less wise.. year after year.. In Arrow he was no where near this goofy and naive, how he manages to not die is surprising. And I mean from his own team not killing him.


with ray it's possble they may be pushing and this did happen in the comic's that his long term exposer to Dwarf star metal radiation will allow him to have his shrik powers with out the suit cause it got into his bloodstream. an in season one of the show of legends both him and professor stein hypothesised that this may have been the case with the hawks and Vandal Savage.

as too him being dumber his mental acuity went down him since being on this show and it was the same for others too. Sadly the writer like make the character desene

In the scene where four members of the team were attacked by ARGUS agents, only Nate was a genuine metahuman. Sara, Ray, and Mick definitely were not. So the only reason I can think of that ARGUS would try to arrest Sara, Ray, and Mick would be because they were harboring a metahuman (Nate). Since metahumans are illegal in this future world, I assume that it's also illegal for normal humans to shelter metahumans.
 
Eh, trying to make sense of it isn't worth it. Best to just write it off as "stupid dark future is stupid".
 
Maybe having been dead and brought back to life also makes someone a Meta. So with two possible Metas the assumption was Metas hang out with Metas and all of them were Metas.
Just the other two weren't in the data base yet. Arrest them all and let the people in a higher pay grade decide.
