Is the legion of superheroes the greatest and the biggest example of wasted potential in comics/cartoon history?

>no Batman
it would never have worked.

Unironically this. There actually is a 31st century Batman named Brane Taylor. If they integrated him with Legion lore it could've been vaguely relevant but right now it's dead
Quite possibly, yes. They became a thing at all because they were more popular than Superboy, and ended up overtaking Adventure Comics. These fucks are extremely marketable in the same way Transformers are, in that there's a ton of them and you're bound to get attached to at least a few. It's frankly pathetic how badly DC botched their big comeback, and now it's gonna be yet another decade before we'll see them again. Goddammit.
Dc could've literally killed marvel if they utilized the legion of superheroes well in the golden age they're basically the younger and the coolest version of the X-Men but they're in the future and they can travel through space and time
So how the Fuck no one in DC Saw how a gold mine this premise is?
I legit wonder why DC feels it needs to tie all their heroes with the main present when legion works because it's far away from the bullshit. Hell X-men exists in the present world and yet it's able to feel like it own thing from most of Marvel. Also Hickman is not great but I legit wonder if his losh would've saved this team given MOST of his ideas for them was literally re used for current x-men run that has a bunch of ongoing books now.

Right? They took the wrong lesson from Great Darkness Saga.
And ironically that book is the reason why Darkseid is remotely used and remember now
The only interesting looking guy here is the snake, and even then he's just a big snake. Should be more weird looking aliens.
>The snake guy
"he's" a girl lol, princess no less
Gonna be honest
I didn't like them as a kid because I thought that it was dumb that a team of aliens would look like a bunch of normal looking white people
wasted potential is not the way to put it
more like a flawed show that was refined into something good, a la The Batman or both the 90s Fantastic Four and Iron Man shows.
oh, in the comics? Ehhh no not really. they were a goofy silly corny baby joke in the comics, it's astounding we've gotten the few good adaptations we've gotten.
No
Holy shit I didn't even know this show existed but this girl unlocked something in deep inside me
I'll assume the show was great just by the cool male designs and them making the girls this cute
That Tinya is like the few examples of a goth that's a prep valley girl personality

QRD4me: there supposed to be from the future, right?
Yeah, star trek but with teenagers in space kinda deal.
