Has Legends gotten too goofy?

[Tim]

This show has strayed way off from it's original premise.  It's gotten so goofy that sometimes I think they should add a laugh track.

Yeah I haven't really been watching this season, I still like the characters but they definitely seem to have lost that serious/comedic balance they had back in seasons 2/3, now it seems mostly comedic which has lost me a bit.

They need to find a way to balance things out. 

Don't get me wrong, I still like this show, but compare it to its earlier seasons and now, and one can see it's gotten way too goofy.  As I said, if they added a laugh track, it would be right at home. 

Perhaps this was in response to some of the other Arrowverse shows, that had gotten downright dark.    However, IMO, Legends might have gone too far the other way.

I'd say, the more new characters were added and old left, then it slowly began to carry away from its original premise. I still love it too but as Tim said, in some episodes there should have been a laugh track added.

This is why I found it odd that they paired it with Batwoman.  That show is downright dark!

I think I've pinpointed when it took a turn shall we say. Season 3 when they gave us the Beebo character - he was very goofy and comedic but it was meant as a short-term thing, but then the response they got from Beebo was so positive the writers must have decided to just go all-in on that more comedic premise, we can see it hugely impact season 4 with the Mona character who was received very negatively by fans. Season 5 got a little darker again only for them to once again go full goof for the current season. Its like the writers have an identity crisis on what they want the show to be.

That might be it, Adam.

I agree Legends has gotten more lighthearted than the earlier seasons which some may not like but I still enjoy watching the show anyway.
