1. Removal of Superboy as the Legion's inspiration--The cause of most of the Legion's troubles...
2. The ridiculous Garth/Proty retcon--Still never made any sense and needlessly tarnished the ADVENTURE COMICS era...
3. Saturn Girl/Cosmic Boy drunken hook-up--Made Imra look pathetic, and Rokk a sex-crazed sleezy creep who would take advantage of a friend...

Agree/Disagree?

Yes on 1. The writer even agrees.

2 I was okay with. It kept Garth's sacrifice, and didn't get that much in the way of later appearances. It also launched a few plots such as LiveWire's personality, and links with Validus plague.

3 Barely recall that other than a firm bleh. So agree there.

I'd also add

Earth Man
DC editorial fiefdoms allowing the super-office dictates, and sending Mark Waid to fight the corner.
Jan/Erin is going to be up there.
Letting Giffen blow up the Earth

Oh, that's 4...

The animated legion of superheroes film that came out last year. Very disappointing and a big whiff. It was just a Supergirl movie that happened to have a handful of legionnaires.
