Legions finale was just as barmy as weve come to expect.
Here are some questions, and our attempts to answer them.
This feature contains spoilers for the Legion finale.
And then the credits stopped rolling and gave us an extra scene, which simply created more confusion.
Here are all our questions, and some possibly useless attempts to answer them…
But didnt everyone at the swimming pool, except for David, get electrocuted and reduced to smouldering skeletons?
He spent ages recovering from third degree burns after the swimming pool incident.
Maybe Davids big victory from the pilot episode wasnt such a great thing after all.
The reveal that Clark survived is just another example of David remembering things wrong.
When he had the halo on that the start of the episode, David displayed some truly impressive abilities.
Also, we dont really know what his natural mental state is yet either.
Well have to wait and see.
What was that all about?
As with most things in this show, it wasnt explained.
Was David just trying to torment the man that interrogated him back in the pilot?
Or was he actually trying to be nice, but failing to nail the tone?
Or was this The Shadow King trying to break through, making David behave oddly?
Weve no idea… sorry!
She started to sound a lot like Magneto, there.
So is Melanie on a villainous path?
Will her beliefs about mutants turn her against the human race?
We have an actual answer to this one, becauseNerdistasked showrunner Noah Hawley about it.
It was compared this week to a computer virus, one that infiltrates and takes over a system.
Then it got in a car and drove off.
The exact nature of The Shadow Kings powers is yet to be explained.
Theres a possibility that most of abilities it has are ones it has leeched from other people.
Where should we look first?
Oliver asked The Shadow King.
Now fully restored in its Aubrey Plaza form, it told him to travel towards some place warm.
Then T-RexsChildren Of The Revolutionstarted to play and the credits began to roll.
When the mid-credits scene interrupted, David was out on the balcony with Syd.
Exactly what The Shadow King is looking for is yet to be revealed.
Could it be seeking out Davids father, for a rematch of that battle from years ago?
That would depend on the answer to this next question… Deadlinethen asked the question from theDeadpoolmovie: McAvoy or Stewart?
Would they be interested in doing the show?
Would 20th Century Fox?
So, theres a lot of conversations I havent had yet but were willing to be had.
Im not stressed out about it.
Its not a different entity.
Either that, or it came up with the look itself and implanted it into Davids memories.
And when everyone returned to real life, The Eye had bled to death.
Legions Astral Plane isnt aSherlockmind palace where nothing that happens has physical repercussions, then.
Its a place with stakes.
So when The Shadow King was strangling David, it was trying to do some real damage.
It scans him, and then absorbs him with a blue ray thingy.
Hes then trapped inside it, screaming as it flies away.
What on Earth was that all about?
But how much of Oliver is left, and what will being with this mutant parasite do to him?
Hes remembered that the woman hes been flirting with is actually his wife of many years.
In an uncanny way, comedians arent supposed to be like that.
They arent supposed to act like that, and when they do its very unsettling.
I think its gonna be really interesting to see what happens with them.
UnlikeGame Of Thrones,WestworldandAtlanta, we wont be getting a longer-than-a-year gap betweenLegionseasons.
Since season one started in early February, were expecting season two at around the same time in 2018.
Fun fact:Legionseason two will be longer, with ten episodes instead of eight.
This is why David gets given the mutant codename Legion, because of the legion living inside him.
Perhaps, in season two, well get an explanation for the title.
