Usually there are excerpts from relevant works or quotes from experts in these essays, but Legion is so beautifully shot it seemed wrong to draw attention away from any frame. At 15:20 you'll find a list of the research materials related to mental health, psychiatric diagnosis, and time perception. If any of you are interested in seeing more essays on psychology or Legion, put it in the comments.
The thing I love about Syd's power is its uniqueness of mechanism. It activates as a mind swap, and deactivates as a body swap...and the distinction is kinda huge. I think it fits this show perfectly.
Thanks for your fantastic analysis of Legion! It's the best one covering this series by far (at least as of this posting), and made me look at the show and its themes in a different and deeper way, which makes me appreciate the show even more. I would love more videos on Legion for as long as you have something to say about it.
This gave me a lot to think about, but i think you may have overlooked an important aspect. The Shadow King, i believe, represents childhood trauma. He affects David similarly to how trauma affects people. He causes intrusive thoughts, alters David’s memory, and much like trauma his presence is originally misdiagnosed as a mental illness. While David does have schizophrenia I don’t believe he starts showing symptoms of it until SK traps him in the box in his mind and he speaks to his “rational self” with the British accent. Also, I think its worth pointing out that the show’s creator Noah Hawley worked for the Legal Aid Society in New York City, dealing with cases involving child abuse and neglect.
As the show progresses we find that much of what we've been told isn't _exactly_ the whole story. And David isn't as innocent nor as heroic as one might imagine. The theme becomes "are we able to rise above what our environment made us into? Or are we always going to be a certain way, no matter what? And if we have no say in the matter, what is it to be good or evil? And if there IS true evil, how can you fight it? Not with traditional means. I love this show.
Hey man I recently discovered you and love all your videos. I just realized the most recent video you posted was from last year. I hope this channel hasn't been abandoned because it's awesome. Is there any way to support you so you can make more?

Absolutely interested in more videos on psychology and Legion, this was fantastic! Very interesting and well articulated.
There's plenty to discuss when it comes to Legion's second season.

Thank you. I have early onset schizophrenia and this really helped ground me. ❤

Easily became one of my favorite videos of all time.
Just found this video and it’s awesome! Thank you for doing all the hard work and sharing this

one of the most interesting bit of criticism I've seen in while. Loved it, thanks

This is SO underrated! Amazing work 👏
I can't believe the auto subtitles distinguished between "Carey" and "Kerry"
excellent video!
your videos are awesome bro keep making these
Your voice is pretty quiet. Other than that, great video!
Nice
If you really want to see some patterns you should contact me.
Replace "Lenny" with "the Shadow King," and you've got a great video here. She's not exactly herself as seen by David's recollection...
