History NightmareFuel / LegendsOfTomorrow

* 2042 in general. A.R.G.U.S. has becomed a facist organization that rules the world as a PoliceState, who rounds up meta-humans (who've been illegal since 2021) and then subjects them to horrific experiments. Also religion has been banned. Even worse the Time Bureau was fully prepared to turn Zuri over to A.R.G.U.S. despite knowing her awaited fate.

* Savage shows Stein a personal torture tool gifted by [[UsefulNotes/JosefStalin Josef Stalin]]: a hammer designed to break the victim's nose bridge, shoulder blades, and under the chin. The unadulterated painful description made by Savage is terrifying.

-->'''Charlie''': Let me show you what a real monster looks like. ''(turns into Sara'') Like this. ''(turn into Mick)'' Like someone who'd rather do what's easy...''(turns into Zari)'' then figure out what's right. ''(turns into Constantine)'' Someone who'd send an innocent to Hell!

* The Unicorn: A mystical, beautiful, majestic animal of wonder… that kills humans and eats there’s hearts. Even the Legends themselves are aghast when they witness it kill a woman.
** When John cast a spell to send the Unicorn to hell its skin is ripped off in the process showing an EldritchAbomination underneath it’s percevied beauty.

* Professor Boardman revealed that he was orphaned by the age of 10 when Vandal Savage murdered his parents. [[spoiler: His parents turned out to be Kendra and Carter in their previous lives in 1920's.]]

* In a way, the gang when, after being told they're "legends" in the future by Rip, discover that they were chosen because [[spoiler: none of them had any serious effect, negative or positive, on the timeline. Basically being told your entire life doesn't matter and no one will care when you're gone? That's the worst nightmare for many a person.]]

* [[spoiler:Due to interacting with his younger self, Professor Stein realized the consequences after his wedding ring is {{Retgone}}. In a way, Stein has erased his own marriage with his wife Clarissa.]]

** The success was arguably worse. It starts with Vostock essentialloy raping Stein ("Have you ever merged with a woman?"), despite his repeated pleas that it will end in both their deaths. Then, as she attempts to kill his teammates, he's screaming for her to stop, for them all to run away.

* Why was Young!Rory sitting and watching a burning house in the previous episode's stinger? [[spoiler:It's ''his'' house... that he accidentally set on fire. And then ran out of for safety. '''''Without waking up his parents.''''']]

* Although it's justified given his background, the sight of [[spoiler:Young!Rip]] being ''wee'' bit too eager to [[spoiler:stab the Pilgrim]].
* The RaceAgainstTheClock aspect established in the ending: [[spoiler:because the Omega Protocol being placed on the team by the Time Masters is [[RealityEnsues still in effect]], the team's past selves need to stay in hiding instead of being returned to their proper times. Which means that they need to get Savage ''now'', before [[RetGone things reach the point of no return]]...]]
** Meaning? [[spoiler:Their next stop is 2166, [[GodzillaThreshold where Savage is at the height of his power]].]]

* [[spoiler:[[ParanoiaFuel You can't escape the Time Masters. They can control everything that you do.]] No free will for you; it is, as they call it, destiny. And these are people with no moral qualms whatsoever, so... sleep tight.]]
** ...[[spoiler:then I guess it's a good thing that they're dead.]]

* We learn the LegionOfDoom's EvilPlan: [[spoiler: they want to find the [[PublicDomainArtifact Spear of Destiny]] and [[RewritingReality rewrite reality]] itself. That's scary of itself [[FridgeHorror but it's even scarier when you remember who the Legion of Doom consists of (at this point)]]: Damien Darhk, a man who wanted to recreate Noah's flood by using the world's nuclear arsenal; Malcolm Merlyn, a man who went insane after his wife died and tried to destroy an entire neighborhood using ''two'' earthquake machines (and half succeeded); and Eobard Thawne, a man whose goal is to make Barry's life as miserable as possible simply because Eobard blames him for his own destiny as a villain.]]

* After landing Apollo 13, Ray is now trapped on the moon with limited oxygen and the Waverider cannot pick him up.

* The reveal that [[spoiler:Team Flash and Team Arrow are dead.]]
* Snart [[spoiler:freezing and then killing Amaya.]] Right as she was about to fix everything!

** Not only that but Thawne [[spoiler:managing to TRAP the [[Main/GrimReaper Black Flash]]!]]

* Mallus himself is a truly frightening entity his possession of Nora not withstanding he tries to exert control over Sara by lowering her guard and making her scared of him as he literally makes Sara crumble to the floor in fright at one point.

* The Mallus-possessed Nora is immensely disturbing. Of particular note is her repeatedly bashing her face into a table to have Mallus prove she has FeelNoPain as a side effect, including ramping up how fast it goes to a level akin to ''Film/TheExorcist''.
