History Fridge / LegendsOfTomorrow

* Cassandra's HeelFaceTurn may seem somewhat rushed, but it actually makes sense. Why is Leonard able to get through to her? Because both grew up with abusive fathers whom they still wanted to believe the best in, and it's clear that she honestly believes that her father is doing his best to protect and stabilize the world order. In addition, she actually states that her father made her learn to resist [[IncrediblyLamePun savage torture]], no doubt by subjecting her to it. He taught her how to lie and to fight, but probably never showed her much love. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard In addition, she knows that the Armageddon virus killed her mother...and then she finds out who actually was responsible for unleashing that.]]

* Rip chose the legends as the most badass people he could pluck from the timeline who would never matter to the timeline. He got them all from 2016 because that's when the Arrowverse picked up steam and started throwing incredibly badass individuals into the world. But why did these incredibly badass people not matter? ''Because Rip picked them up and turned them into legends''. By plucking them out of the timeline, he transformed them from people who would shape one place, one time, into time-traveling heroes who would show up wherever, ''whenever'' they were needed. He turned them into Legends.

** Not only that, the towns folks themselves were oppressed. Kind of hard for the town folk to be judgmental and oppressive when they know whats its like to live as second class citizens under the heel of someone else. Someone who decides their worth, keeps them fearful and can decide whether they live or die. That kind of life would naturally lead to a sense of empathy for those normally ostracized and considered less.

* TheTeam not travelling to AncientEgypt, where he got his powers, and kill Savage then and there. Since Savage has BeenThereShapedHistory several times, they want to lessen the paradox they will create by gradually destroying his resources in different points in time so the effects won't be as drastic.

* Nora suddenly being so much older than she was in ''Arrow'' when only two years have passed might just be lazy writing, but consider what happened between her last appearance in ''Arrow'' and her appearance here? ''Flashpoint''. Nora going from a little girl to a teenager is actually another example of Barry's actuals causing a 'ripple effect' that led to Darhk having a child earlier than he did in canon.

* Zari's initial attempts to inform the team they were stuck in a time loop falling on dear ears makes sense when you know it was Gideon's way of railroading her into understanding the team better.

* The technique Savage uses was seen once before, and shown to be a small FantasticNuke, and yet it leaves all the heroes relatively unharmed here. It could look like a nerf or PlotArmor in place, but unlike that time, Savage it's using it in the middle of his power base, wich would be terribly unwise to blow up like that, and in a room fool of EliteMooks to boot, people he considered worthy of sharing Carter's blood with, and who he wouldn't just sacrifice like that. That's why Savage didn't use it to his full power, allowing the heroes to survive.

* TheReveal of who Connor Hawke really is makes sense in a lot of things. First, [[spoiler: Diggle]] most likely was the one who taught him how to fight and shoot arrows. Think about it, [[spoiler: he is the one who covers for Oliver as The Hood the most]] since the beginning of ''Series/{{Arrow}}''. Also, Connor moves very tactical compared to Oliver, which makes sense since [[spoiler: both of his parents were officially trained by the military]]. His angst of [[spoiler: failing his father]] also not only stems from not being able to save him, but because he likely feels that [[spoiler: his father]] died thinking he hasn't learned anything from him.
* Grant Wilson. Slade never mentioned him. Why should he? GRANT WASN'T BORN YET! Slade probably had him between the time of island and season two of Arrow. This explains how young Grant is, why he's so skilled, and why he hates Oliver! He took his father from him, before he could know him.

* Assuming that StableTimeLoop is in play (which happened several times in the show), then it puts new light on why Ra's not wanting Sara for her daughter Nyssa. He knew even before Nyssa is born that Sara is going to leave The League of Assassins.
** Given revelations that [[spoiler:Chronos is actually Mick Rory,]] Chronos' actions up to that point make a lot more sense, as does the fact he was overall ineffective at beating the Legends in previous episodes but here blows straight past all of Gideon's defenses and defeats the team easily during this one. [[spoiler:Before, Chronos was simply holding back so that his former self could survive, get dropped off by Snart wherever he left him, and become Chronos. After the point in the mission this happens he no longer risks getting Retgoned and now can go all out, which he does.]]
* Mick Rory being a CompositeCharacter with Chronos actually fixes a lot of the differences he has with the original Heatwave and Chronos. In the comics Chronos was just a petty criminal who stole the equipment needed to become a super-villain which is exactly how this Mick became Heatwave. Mick was convinced to join the legend's with the idea of stealing things throughout history exactly Chronos's original MO, the only difference is Chronos is a ComicBook/TheAtom villain whereas Mick's relationship with Ray is [[VitriolicBestBuds complicated]], but then consider that Ray is himself a composite character with [[ComicBook/BlueBeetle Ted Kord]] and who was his best friend, [[ComicBook/BoosterGold a nobody from the future who stole time traveling equipment]].

** Not only that, the towns folks themselves where oppressed. Kind of hard for the town folk to be judgmental and oppressive when they know whats its like to live as second class citizens under the heel of someone else. Someone who decides their worth, keeps them fearful and can decide they live or die. That kind of life , would naturally lead to a sense of empathy for those normally ostracized and considered less.

* If you observe carefully, The Pilgrim prefers kidnap the strongest relatives of The Legends such as Jax's father who is/was a soldier and Leonard's ActionGirl sister Lisa. It shows how savvy she is. But of the Lances, The Pilgrim chose to kidnap Quentin instead of Laurel. She actually has valid reasons. First, Quentin is obviously more physically capable than either of his daughters around 2007 as even though Laurel is/was already an ActionSurvivor at the time with few self-defense classes, she has yet to experience real combat and the advanced TrainingFromHell she received in ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' Season 3. The other is it's not a good idea to do it in present day as compared to Lisa who is likely on her own, Laurel is likely around [[BadassCrew Team Arrow]] most of the time.
* TheReveal of Rip's backstory as a sleazy StreetUrchin gives light on him tricking The Legends in the pilot. To survive, he must have also conned several other people in the past.
