Overview

edit

The Legends learn that attempting time travel with two versions of themselves aboard the Waverider had more of an impact on time than they thought. Due to this blunder, anachronisms (including objects and people) have popped up along the timeline. Rip Hunter's Time Bureau, a replacement for the Time Masters, forces the Legends to disband and resume normal lives. They are forced back into action as deputized members of the Time Bureau, however, unaware that Rip is planning to use their often-destructive tendencies for a threat bigger than the anachronisms.

In an altered Los Angeles the Legends encounter Rip, who reveals that he has created a Time Bureau to replace the Time Masters' Council. Bureau agents fix anachronisms, and Rip disbands the Legends. Six months later they are living normal lives, nostalgic for their previous adventures. In Aruba, Mick captures Julius Caesar, informs the other Legends, and returns to the bureau. After delivering the wrong man and being dismissed by Rip, the Legends steal the Waverider and capture Caesar. When Rip demands that they deliver Caesar to the bureau and let it fix the anachronism, the Legends return Caesar to 49 BC themselves. During the return, Caesar steals Nate's history book and uses this knowledge to conquer the world. The bureau arrives, seizing control of the operation. Agent Ava Sharpe is captured during an excursion to retrieve the book, forcing Rip to allow the Legends to fix the anachronism; he later tells Sharpe that they could be useful in neutralizing Mallus. Amaya, with significantly-improved powers, attacks a group of poachers in 1942 Zambesi.

Amaya learns about Mari's vigilantism and leaves Nate. The Legends head six months later to an anachronism in an 1870 Wisconsin circus led by P.T. Barnum, who has captured an extinct sabertooth tiger. Ray's shrinking device malfunctions, leading to the enlargement and escape of the tiger. Sara visits Amaya and convinces her to return, to Nate's displeasure. While Nate, Ray, and Jax visit an inn, Amaya and Sara shrink and capture the tiger. Drunk and depressed about his relationship with Amaya, Nate tells Barnum about their powers. Intending to use them for his shows, Barnum captures Ray and Jax. When Nate tells the Legends about his actions, Amaya reveals why she broke up with him in 2017. While Sara engages with Sharpe on the Waverider, the Legends attack the circus and rescue their teammates (removing the anachronism). Nate reconciles with Amaya, who tells the Legends that she has begun to lose control of her animal powers; her behavior has become psychopathic. Sara tells the Legends about Mallus, an ancient archenemy of the Time Masters; he believes that the outlying anachronisms are Mallus' work. They do not take the threat seriously, considering their previous accomplishments. A follower of Mallus summons Kuasa, Mari's sister.

The Legends receive it and find Seattle under martial law imposed by A.R.G.U.S., which is hunting down metahumans. They find Zari, who demands help rescuing her brother from prison in exchange for learning about her powers. Stein and Nate seek a solution, and Nate synthesizes a Zambesi hallucinogen. Zari uses it to have a vision of an ancestor who advises her to trust her increasing strength. Jax initiates an unplanned prison break; Zari retrieves her brother's amulet (indicating his murder by A.R.G.U.S.) and abandons the team. Ray pursues her to a campsite where her family is to meet. Kuasa attacks the two while Sharpe pursues the Waverider in the timestream. The Legends arrive and Amaya (now in control of her powers) defeats Kuasa, who vanishes using a mystical item; this implies that she is a descendant of hers.

NSA agents take the baby Dominator, leading Ray, young Ray, and Zari to rescue it while Sara, Nate, and Amaya learn that the Dominator's mother has returned to retrieve her child. The mother (who killed young Ray) traps Sara in a web. Sara escapes, and the baby uses mind control to distract the agents. The Legends return it to its mother, who leaves in peace. When young Ray is bullied on Halloween, the Legends defend him. Jax and Mick learn that Stein is anxious to be present for the birth of his grandchild and help him, "borrowing" the Waverider.

Nate discovers a pattern in the anachronisms, with two outliers: Kuasa's attack, and a suspected vampire attack in Victorian London.

Zari encounters Nora Darhk, a follower of Mallus who steals her amulet while working with a Victorian occult society. Rip traps the Legends on the Waverider for protection before attending Darhk's resurrection, which Nora achieves with the amulet. Darhk and Nora escape after killing several bureau agents led by Rip.

Stein meets Hedy Lamarr, and the other male Legends fight over Helen. The female Legends confront Helen privately. After she refuses to return to Troy because men die over her, Helen is captured by the female Legends. Stein learns that Lamarr has become a switchboard operator; because she does not invent frequency-hopping spread spectrum, the Waverider breaks down. The Legends go to Lamarr's workplace, resulting in a confrontation with Darhk's forces. Lamarr tells Jax and Stein to merge, which allows them to return to their original bodies. Nora tries to drain Sara's soul but is driven off by Firestorm, leaving Sara comatose. Darhk, Nora and Kuasa retreat. A sympathetic Zari brings Helen to Themyscira, instead of Troy.

Development and filming

edit

In January 2017, before the second season's conclusion, Legends of Tomorrow was renewed by The CW.[67] Later that year, the season was given an 18-episode order.[68][69] Filming began on July 18, 2017,[70][1] and ended in February 2018.[71]

For the episode "Here I Go Again" Amy Pemberton appeared as Gideon, unlike most episodes in which she voiced the character.[72] Sellers called her experience playing the 72-year-old version of Amaya Jiwe "horrible" because of the elements involved in creating the character's look, particularly the makeup. She said, "I was sent to a full head cast [...] I was covered in plaster from my shoulders up with just two breathing holes for two hours. They then created a whole new face and neck for me that was glued on and spray painted over the course of four hours. The end result was freakishly convincing."[73]

Writing

edit

Season three has a genre shift, from science fiction to fantasy,[74] and a change in tone; it is lighter than the previous two seasons.[75][76] Showrunner Phil Klemmer described the season as "more in the world of the occult and monsters".[77] Co-creator Marc Guggenheim explained that part of the motivation for adding the Muslim character Zari Tomaz to the series was the "political climate" in the United States after the 2016 elections.[78]

Klemmer said that he wanted to have the Legends visit new locations, including Golden-Age Hollywood and Victorian London.[79] The character Gorilla Grodd is an antagonist,[80][81][82] although he was written more sympathetically after his defeat in The Flash (as seen in the "Gorilla City" two-part episode).[83][84]

Casting

edit

Returning series regulars from the previous season included Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Amy Pemberton, Nick Zano and Dominic Purcell as Martin Stein, Ray Palmer, Sara Lance, Jefferson Jackson, Amaya Jiwe, Gideon, Nate Heywood and Mick Rory, respectively.[85][86] They were joined by Tala Ashe and Keiynan Lonsdale playing Zari Tomaz and Wally West, respectively.[87][88] Lonsdale had been a regular on The Flash.[88][89]

It was the only season in which Lonsdale was a regular; he left after the season finale, citing a desire for other acting opportunities.[90][91] This was the final season in which Garber and Drameh were regulars;[92] Garber left in "Crisis on Earth X, Part 4", followed by Drameh in the following episode.[93] While Garber wanted to resume his career in Broadway theater;[94] Drameh's exit was a creative decision,[95] and he returned in the season-finale "The Good, the Bad and the Cuddly".[96] Richardson-Sellers's character, Amaya Jiwe, left in the season finale and returned the following season as Charlie.[97][98]

Arthur Darvill, who played Rip Hunter in the main cast during the first two seasons, was a recurring character this season.[31] Several actors returned in their roles from other Arrowvverse series as recurring characters, such as Neal McDonough as Damien Darhk,[31] David Sobolov as the voice of Grodd,[99] and Christina Brucato as Lily Stein.[32] Tracy Ifeachor was cast as Jiwe's granddaughter Kuasa, replacing Anika Noni Rose (who voiced the character in the animated web series Vixen).[36] Courtney Ford replaced Tuesday Hoffman as Damien's daughter, Nora,[38][100] and Ford became a regular the following season.[101] Sellers' mother, Joy Richardson, was a recurring character as Jiwe's vision-quest ancestor.[37]

Matt Ryan played John Constantine after playing the character in the canceled NBC series Constantine.[102] The series was retroactively added to the Arrowverse after he guest-starred in the Arrow season-four episode "Haunted".[103] Ryan became a series regular the following season.[104]

Wentworth Miller (who played Leonard Snart as a regular in season one and a recurring character in season two)[31] returned to play the character's Earth-X doppelganger, Leo Snart / Citizen Cold.[53] Jes Macallan, Adam Tsekhman and Hiro Kanagawa recurred as Time Bureau agents Ava Sharpe, Gary Green and Wilbur Bennett, respectively,[34][33][35] and Macallan became a regular the following season.[105]

John Noble voiced Mallus (the season's main antagonist), but the character's true form is not revealed until the penultimate-episode "Guest Starring John Noble". In that episode, Noble also played a fictionalized version of himself.[106]

Crossover

edit

In May 2017, CW president Mark Pedowitz announced plans for a four-show Arrowverse crossover event consisting of Supergirl, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Arrow.[107] The crossover, Crisis on Earth-X, began with Supergirl and a special airing of Arrow on November 27, 2017, and concluded with back-to-back airings of The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow on November 28.[108]

Release

edit

The third season of Legends of Tomorrow aired on The CW in the U.S. weekly from October 10 through December 5, 2017, when it took a mid-season break.[2][109] It returned on February 12, 2018,[110] and concluded on April 9 of that year.[21][111] The season was made available for streaming on Netflix in late April 2018, soon after the season finale aired.[112] It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on September 25, 2018.[113][114]

Critical response

edit

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an 88-percent approval rating from 36 reviews; the average rating was 7.95/10, based on eight reviews. The website's consensus is, "DC's Legends of Tomorrow lightens up the tone in its third season while spotlighting adventurous plots and a distinct sense of humor."[133] Critics praised the season for its lighter tone and overall cast, with several calling it the best one to date.[75][76][134]

Vox's Sara Ghaleb wrote, "The corner of The CW's Arrowverse became its best self in season three". Ghaleb described the episode as goofy and silly; the premise of the plot seemed ridiculous, but it came together neatly.[76] For Tell-Tale TV, Jennifer Ann rated the season 5/5 and felt that the season finale was a satisfying narrative conclusion.[135]

IGN's Jesse Scheeden said that the season was the best of the series so far, but had the worst episodes overall and rated it 8.1/10. Scheeden criticized the season's main villain, saying that Mallus did not properly pay off the buildup, and called the totem plot line "boring". However, he praised the team dynamic and the overall cast.[136]

Kath Leroy rated season three seventh-best in a ranking of Arrowverse seasons for Screen Rant, ahead of The Flash season five and behind Supergirl season five. It was the second-highest-placed Legends of Tomorrow season, behind season two.[134] Season three placed third in Collider's ranking of all seven seasons by Adam Virgona, ahead of season four and behind season seven. Virgona praised the season's transition from science fiction to fantasy.[74] Richard Fink ranked the season second for MovieWeb, ahead of season four and behind season two.[137]
