Do people actually call him that or is that of your own creation? :lol:

Believe it or not, I've seen #wenty on Twitter when describing him. :lol:

A decent ending to the Legion of Doom storyline, although I'm sure they'll be back. Seemed a little rushed though. A two hour finale would have been fun.

Is the teaser for season three leading into an adaptation of an existing DC comics storyline?

The season 3 teaser made me think of that Matt Smith episode of Doctor Who that had every period of history happening at once (the clock always showed the same time and Churchill was in it).

How does an arrow hurt Firestorm!?!?!?!

He can take a nuke point blank.

It was the perfect opportunity for them to end up in the far future and meet Kamandi. As far as I can tell this is your typical Butterfly Effect type ending.

Liked seeing the multiple Thawnes. He got erased from time again.

Other than what seemed like the ultimate make it up as they go along script, it was a fun finale. Loved Rip realizing he had been shrunk and Rory messing with him.

The setup for next season looks good. Hopefully they can build on this much improved S2.

Why couldn't a hundred speedsters takeout a few guys in one second? Heck why couldn't one speedster do that. Best to not ask those questions and just enjoy the ride.

:lol: Guys I think we broke time.

A really fun finale. It was also a good re-set for a fresh new storyline next season. But, Dinosaurs in 2017 Los Angeles? So The Legends created a new paradox for them it seems since that obviously won't affect 2017 Star and Central City in the slightest.

Seems like Rip is gone again. I think the way they wrote him this season improved a lot from season 1. I wouldn't mind seeing him come back as a recurring character to help the Legends when they get into trouble.

Glad that Thawne is gone for good. He was getting on my nerves.

I liked it. Some of it did feel somewhat rushed though. I thought them meeting themselves was pretty fun. Mick continued to be the star of the show and I think has easily been the MVP of this season. I'm going to miss Thawne since Reverse Flash has been the best baddie out of all the Arrowverse shows.

Liked the ending but kind of disappointed at the same time. Seems like it would have been a perfect time to introduce Kamandi, or The Lost Land of the Warlord.

Their super speed is all over the place as well.

Kamandi will show up, it's only a matter of time...

I only read a few issues of Kamandi as a kid, but I thought he was supposed to be in the future, not an alternate screwed-up timeline. The Legion of Superheroes referred to World War 6, so I figured Kamandi lived in one of the post World War periods.

So HOURMAN, Dr. MID-NITE, and COMMANDER STEEL are still dead. :(
What a WASTE of those characters. :(

Overall I did like the finale but not what happen to the JSA/All-Star Squadon.

I did like a legion of Reverse-Flashes showing up. This kind of finale is the price LOT pays for being a lighter show that doesn't take itself too seriously. Dramatic developments are harder to accept when they finally happen.

I wonder what the cast will look like next season. Would anyone be upset if they axed Firestorm completely? Since the producers have to constantly sideline him in battles, it's a wasted character.

Not me. Wasted salary IMO, spend it on something else.

I am thinking there was/is a possibility Thawne will somehow take Jay Garrick's place in the speedster prison on The Flash.

Rip Hunter will be back next season, but in a different capacity. Probably means he will only be a recurring guest star.

I like the concept of Firestorm yet that can't seem to do much with him and make him weak far too often. One episode a point blank nuke and in another an Arrow hurts him.

The biggest issue I have with Firestorm is Franz Drameh's terrible job trying to sound and act like a stereotypical, Hollywoodized African-American (he's Gambian-British) -- he comes off like a cartoon character and not in a good way.

It's not a great acting job, agreed. I had no idea he was British but that makes sense with his unplaceable accent on the show.

I like Martin Stein but wouldn't miss the Jax or Firestorm characters if something happened. Hopefully his new daughter has a bigger role next season.

I think Stein is the obstacle for why the showrunners haven't dumped Firestorm from the series.

The producers always rave about Victor Garber in interviews like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
