beccaelizabethI have been watching more Legends of Tomorrow.
The entire thing depends on everyone being so emotionally wound up and at the end of their tether that they do things the least sense and most drama.
I mean it provides plenty of reasons for them to feel that way, but still.
Today I watched Mick get captured saving Len after he got captured trying to be nice to a Russian lady who they really should have understood knew very well what she was doing. I mean, I don't get why their behaviour was meant to make sense. She's the bad guy, why was that complicated? A slightly different pitch based around everyone deserving a second chance or aimed more squarely at the thing where Savage backstabs for a living so will certainly start shit here too would have made better sense.
Then I couldn't figure how long it took to make a plan? Or how long Mick and Ray were in that cell? Some scenes it seemed like days, others more like there weren't that long.
So then Len went after Mick who now wanted to save Ray, but next was 2046 and Mick weren't interested in saving anyone, until he was. And Len locked him up but for like the barest minimum time, not even a whole conversation, so then why do it?
Mostly it makes sense if Mick is volatile but burns out fast. And he'll follow Len's lead even immediately after he knocks him out.
Those two are so intense about each other but not in the vague neighbourhood of healthy about it.
I like what fandom does with these parts better than I like rewatching these parts. I mean I like seeing Mick and Len, but I've spent a year since the first season came out wanting to move their story on and make it deeper.
Rewatch first.
