I'm generally shocked DC didn't take this idea and make it into an elseworlds miniseries. Infact it sounds like the perfect idea for a crossover with the CW shows.
I'm really happy you're continuing with this series, Erod. Makes me really curious as to what could have been and what may be in the future. It'd be so cool if they did this for an episode on the new shows. Heck, it might even get me to watch them again!
I am really starting to enjoy the Legends of Fandom and Honest Review segments so much more than the actual Blockbuster Buster episodes. Haven't really watched any of them since they turned over to live action. Greatly enjoy these though. Hope to see more in the future. Hope you and your lovely wife are taking care ERod.
Yeah, it was supposed to be about Bruce Growing up and meeting other heroes as he trains to become a detective/crime fighter, and that it would crossover with the Smallville series From what I understand, some similar ideas were used in the Gotham Series
What's with humanity always trying to force the "no powers allowed" concept on the heroes? Without them; villains like Luthor, Joker, Myxysptlk, Vandal Savage and even Darkseid would destroy all human civilization. Even Marvel's guilty of this sin with it's Superhero Registration Act/Sokovia Accords. I imagine the world of the MCU will choose to repeal them. Once Thanos destroys a few hundred thousand capitols and lives
sadlobster1 Maybe it's a metaphor for civilians owning guns or something. You know, "stop these people from using their individual-given power (s) to defend themselves and others and look what happens." Incredibles painted it as "life goes on" (makes sense; The Iron Giant had a pretty overt anti-gun message), this show more accurately paints it as "all the supervillains run wild and take over the world" (in reference to superpowers, not guns; supervillains in real life work a lot slower). Seriously, did supervillains in The Incredibles just decided to retire the moment there was no one around to thwart them? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
sadlobster1 Oh yeah, the Sokovia Accords. Those laws that would've done nothing to prevent the tragedies from occurring, but were passed anyway to make people feel better. ... Are we SURE this isn't a veiled right-wing criticism of draconian gun laws? Reason I ask is because all this stuff was coming out before the debate was fanned into a raging flame war.
Perhaps the reason there were no villains around, after the heroes retired was the lack of a challenge/thrill. Without any strong force taking them on. Where's the fun in terrorizing weak humans? But seriously, do the governments of our world not realize that there are beings out their who could blow up a planet with a snap of their fingers? With such a threat present, why restrict the heroes for a phony idea of safety
Ikrani The Accords weren't to STOP tragedies, it's to have checks and balances for The Avengers. The didn't have any before so the world governments (and the people I think, folks didn't seem too happy to have Iron Man's robots flying around) wanted to implement some so that they can be held accountable.
Let's just be happy they didn't lose their powers for some bizarre, unexplained reason that turned them all into whiny idiots like a certain JLA story.
Intresting. And wow it feels so strange not having seen Arrow or The Flash this last season. I better get some time to watch those seasons or I will be completely lost. I have no idea who that Captain America looking guy was.
Honestly i would have loved to see David Ducoghny(Can't spell his last name) from the X-Files as Doctor Occult. He would be perfect, he basically has to be Mulder lol.
I'd be curious about your thoughts on the Wonder Woman pilot with Cathy Lee Crosby. It got a full pilot that aired on TV but how do you think it would have worked as a series versus the excellent Linda Carter series we ended up with?
Dear ERod. Since Netflix is going to adapt The Witcher series, you could check the very first and very crappy first movie and TV show known as The Hexer (old official translation of Wiedźmin)? In Poland it has the same so-bad-it-is-so-good status as The Room. On TH-cam I found some episodes with English subtitles.
So here's a question. If they did bring the Unlimited Powers idea to the Arrowverse, who would play Block, Dr Occult, and Green Arrow's daughter today?
But didn't they already DO something with a dystopian future in Legends of Tomorrow where villains have taken over and the main protagonists have to help the Green Arrow's next-in-line?
Since E-Rod is busy in RL i wonder will he manage to do Young Justice se 3 video at somepoint..Honest Review About YJ se 1-2 would be cool too BUt E-Rod is prob too busy to do that
Erod, I saw your update video and I feel for you, but you should cheer up. In the past you were the new guy who anted to venture out and be the hero. You got your chance last season, but it wasn't your strength. You are not the Doctor, you are not Iron Man. This video makes it clear, you are destined to be Nick Fury, the man on the wall with the knowledge beyond all the others and the ability to manipulate the situation with the plan. I see it very much like this, you were a researcher and gained incredible amounts of information, but you wanted more. But you saw yourself as the one to put on the suit and do the hero thing, the guy to show up and meddle in things. You got your chance and while it gave you the field experience you need, your place was not in the thick of things. Yes, you can hold your own, but your skills at gathering the right info and the right people made you more than just the man in the fight, it made you the man with the plan, the man on the wall. Yes, you might be scaling back your production now due to work and budget, but this let's you put out the intel the fans need to fight for you. You have the histories of the heroes and shows, you have the casting couch and bios, and you can fill us in on these as the news breaks, preparing up before we need to deal with the films, good or bad. The stage you are entering might be the time you become predictive in a way, by showing us the past. It might be the time to do more crossovers as well, to gather more intel and to make certain other reviewers are prepared (just a suggestion). You are Nick Fury, Amanda Waller, Max Lord, Harry Stein, Rip Hunter. You are bigger than ARGUS, Checkmate, SHIELD, The Time Masters, and so on. Become the reviewer we all know you are to become.
I really like Supergirl and The Flash myself. I don;t really watch the others but trying to get into Arrow and FYI he did do some of his own stunts like the salmon ladder thing that was all him. He proved it was when he was on Celebrity Ninja warrior. Celebrities ran the course and could call on their coach to do some stunts like the wall and they only had to go up to the wall Welo the guy who plays Arrow did the whole course including the warped wall by himself he asked if he could go farther cause he had something ti prove well the Salmon ladder is right after the warped wall. He did it but failed on the following obstacle. Was really cool to watch.
If you ask me, this would be perfect for a "Legends of Tomorrow" episode.

Claudio Leuch I saw that too.
God I miss your Casting Couch E-Rod.
ya I know
Power Rangers: Hexagon (The Planned 11th Power Ranger Season)
Justice League: Mortal
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2001 TV Series)
I'd never heard of this one. Good catch.
I am really starting to enjoy the Legends of Fandom and Honest Review segments so much more than the actual Blockbuster Buster episodes. Haven't really watched any of them since they turned over to live action. Greatly enjoy these though. Hope to see more in the future. Hope you and your lovely wife are taking care ERod.
I remember hearing about a Batman series simply entitled "Bruce Wayne"
Yeah, it was supposed to be about Bruce Growing up and meeting other heroes as he trains to become a detective/crime fighter, and that it would crossover with the Smallville series
From what I understand, some similar ideas were used in the Gotham Series
Jared Ohlstein is that true
The next legends of fandom should be about The Amazing Screw on Head animated series.
Joseph Kopas OMG! YES!
That would have been an awesome dc comics event, cartoon, or use the idea in the DC CW.

Cough Hawkgirl and John Stewart we’re introducing directly in the justice league animated series Cough
Glad your back Erod!
Holy CRAP!! That would've been great! Also....The George A Romero Resident Evil Movie that never happened!
Do legend of fandom on every unmade American Godzilla films
Punlimited Owers
Looking at Bloc, I was thinking Tiny Lister or Ving Rhames for an early 90's tv show
I wished that they made tv shows for the lesser know heroes like swamp thing and The Question.
They did make a Swamp Thing TV series in 1990.
Swamp Thing had two theatrical releases, a TV show and animated show.
The casting couch returns!
Here's my idea e-rod legends of fandom: Lois and clark the new adventures of superman.
Honestly i would have loved to see David Ducoghny(Can't spell his last name) from the X-Files as Doctor Occult. He would be perfect, he basically has to be Mulder lol.
I'd be curious about your thoughts on the Wonder Woman pilot with Cathy Lee Crosby. It got a full pilot that aired on TV but how do you think it would have worked as a series versus the excellent Linda Carter series we ended up with?
Too expensive? They should have gone the animation route instead.
bionicleanime which is expensive as well
Legends of the fandom: justice league mortal please.
Dear ERod.
Since Netflix is going to adapt The Witcher series, you could check the very first and very crappy first movie and TV show known as The Hexer (old official translation of Wiedźmin)?

Wait are you telling me the dude that played the sentinel ( a cop with superhuman senses) was the first flash pick? I could see tbat
Hey Erod, what happened to the update video?
How about that cartoon show Vitor. Four episodes were made but it never aired on TV for some reason.
What about that Batman cartoon that looked like some High School AU with Bruce and his bad guys as teenagers?
Gotham High? There's actually a really good fan made audio drama on youtube.
Dammit Barry
So did you get aother job?
Hey erod do a legend if fandom on james cameron's cancelled spiderman movie
Any chance will ever get an honest review of smallvile outside of its shit?
Can you review the 2016 Max Steel Movie
So this show is a quasi version of Batman Beyond?
Burgi? As the Flash? 👍
How about Saban’s Cybertron?
But didn't they already DO something with a dystopian future in Legends of Tomorrow where villains have taken over and the main protagonists have to help the Green Arrow's next-in-line?
Since E-Rod is busy in RL i wonder will he manage to do Young Justice se 3 video at somepoint..Honest Review About YJ se 1-2 would be cool too BUt E-Rod is prob too busy to do that
He doesn't actually care for Young Justice

Become the reviewer we all know you are to become.
How about Legends of Fandom on James Cameron's Spider-Man!
Wow you still make videos and I think you lost weight!
If only patron existed
Oh Me Oh My
Aliens the Cartoon series
Wait DC actually ripped off Marvel's Thing. I thought it was always the other way around. That is what I am told be DC fans.
let's remove the "-Fandom" word, and replace it as "+Official Only." 'cause "un-made oddities" of the fandom are NOT BB's interests. that is sad. :(
I really like Supergirl and The Flash myself. I don;t really watch the others but trying to get into Arrow and FYI he did do some of his own stunts like the salmon ladder thing that was all him.
