YMMV / Legends of Tomorrow S2E16 "Doomworld"

Go To

  • Alternate Character Interpretation: After being abandoned by the Legends, did Mick really go back to the Legion for a brief moment, or was he setting up a Batman Gambit to use the Legion to unwittingly help the Legends?
  • Ass Pull: In a moment reminiscent of Oliver leaving an unconscious Roy in an alley, Amaya just seems to spontaneously disappear once Sara's memory is restored. (However, this is due to editing as she can be seen bolting away when Palmer aims what appears to be a gun at her.) Her only explanation later is "We got separated"...in a single room. Damien Darhk sees right through it immediately.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Snart finally crosses it by killing Amaya.
  • Ho Yay: The Doomworld versions Sara and Amaya have a subtle vibe of this.
  • Squick: Felicity injuring her leg after a long jump is especially wince-inducing.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
    • A world ruled by the Legion of Doom is not nearly as dystopian as many would thought. That said, this could be seen as potentially Truth in Television because, if a villain were to find a way to create their own reality, why would they want to create a Crapsack World?
    • Eobard's excuse for villainy is that he wanted to be a hero like the Flash but when he found out he couldn't he decided to become the reverse, while always claiming that Barry is the "true villain". Many assumed that when Eobard got the Spear he would use it to make himself the Flash and Barry the villain; instead he was content to make himself head of S.T.A.R. Labs. And given that Darhk is the one in possession of Barry's mask it's implied he didn't even care what happened to Barry in this world.
    • The fact that all the heroes from Team Flash and Team Arrow are dead instead of being in their own Fates Worse Than Death, especially since the Legion of Doom should hate them just as much as they do the Legends.
      • They do, but remember, the Legends were only left alive to satisfy Mick. Team Arrow and Team Flash had no such advocate.
    • Despite his Faceā€“Heel Turn last episode we unfortunately don't get to see what exactly Mick changed after using the Spear other than the idea of allowing the Legends to live. Especially since it's implied that Mick wanted to use the spear to bring his family back to life.
