- Anvilicious: Like most Arrowverse shows, Legends has very progressive ideals. And it delivers them without any degree of subtlety. Season 7 is a particular offender in this regard.
- Base Breaker: Sara Lance. While she unanimously well-received in Arrow, or near-enough, the decision to turn her into a Lovable Sex Maniac proved more divisive. Some like her fine, opining that it allows Sara to be a much more unique Action Girl than one of the many Black Widow copies, some think there's room for both personas to co-exist but that the writers have flanderized her a bit too much, and others think it's outright Character Derailment.
- Continuity Lock Out: If you're not up to date with Arrow and The Flash, then good luck keeping up with the early story.
- Die for Our Ship: Oliver/Sara shippers from Arrow are understandably not too fond of Ava, amping her flaws to paint her as an abuser. Some even go far as to subject the whole show to Fanon Discontinuity.
- Friendly Fandoms:
- Arthur Darvill is time travelling again. What did you expect?
- Zig-zagged with Loki. While there are some moments of Friendly Fandoms, there are also accusations of "They Copied It, So It Sucks" from Legends fans.
- Fountain of Memes: Take any episode from Season 2 onwards. Any episode. You'll have enough to last a few months.
- Fully-Absorbed Finale: Season 4 feels more like a second season of Constantine than it does a fourth season of this show.
- He's Just Hiding: Captain Cold and Rip Hunter. It's a show about time travel. It's far too easy to say that they're just lost in time somewhere.
- Growing the Beard: Season 2 and 3 are generally considered to have done this, ditching the seriousness of Season 1 for a more Lighter and Softer, and just overall more fun, premise. Helped by the fact that The Flash suffered a Seasonal Rot in Season 3, allowing Legends to become the "fun" Arrowverse show.
- Just Here for Godzilla: The return of John Constantine drew many fans of his cancelled show to Season 4.
- Memetic Loser: The Legends as a whole. They don't fail that much but they're marketed as a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits who can barely function making their failures much more memorable.
- Reddit lost count of how many times Ray Palmer fucked up.
- Outside of his fanbase, John Constantine can be viewed as such, given that he near-constantly cites Magic A Is Magic A for why he can't use his magic to solve the problem, leading some to question his usefulness.
- Narm Charm: Beebo.
- Never Live It Down: While the Legends do cause a lot of the problems that they end up fixing, they don't cause every one. But the fact that they cause a lot is more than enough for some people to label them as Failure Heroes, if not outright Designated Heroes who should be killed to save the timeline.
- Out of the Ghetto: Unlike most time travel shows, Legends avoids any navel contemplating, You Already Changed the Past or angsting about the laws of time. It just uses time travel to have fun.
- Recycled Script: 99% of scripts go something like this:
- Someone mucks up history.
- The Legends come in and muck it up even further.
- The Legends get their shit together.
- The Legends restore history.
- Seasonal Rot: It really started in Season 4, as Constantine was hyped up at the expense of the Legends, and steadily kept going from there. There were individual upticks across the last three seasons, but never enough for anyone to properly say that the show outgrew this sentiment.
