DC's Legends of Tomorrow is proof a superhero show can still have fun

Entertainment Weekly

"Too many superhero stories are miserable with responsibility," says Darren Franich. "Let ’em have it! Legends of Tomorrow flies high as a kite, and the kite was hit by lightning, so now it’s an omnisexual talking kite firing electric rays at sexy history. Season 5 of The CW’s superteam romp kicks off Tuesday with a mockumentary episode about killing Rasputin. Next week, the gang’s in Old Hollywood cosplaying noir seduction. Then they go to Prom. Some actors play different people than they used to play. One baddie kills victims by partying super hard. Main characters die, but don’t stress! 'Technically, you’ve died more than three times,' Ava tells Sara. Even her girlfriend’s lost count."
