This is a defensible position to take, but you have to admit that it's equally defensible to say that the post-CoIE and Glorithverse Legions followed on continuously from the original Legion and should be treated as the original Legion for most purposes.[/b]
I spent the whole 5YL saying "No way that wasn't how it happened" or "No way he/she wouldn't do that" [/b]I had a completely different response. The first four issues, really spoke to me as Legion after a crisis (small c, lol). #5 This was "a" legion, the characters acted as I expected under different circumstances but still very much Legion. I took it as intended, a different reality. After #5 I don't recall ever thinking that those common characters from before and after #5 were different, only that some were missing and replaced by others. To me, it was still the same Legion because they acted the same, aged by their experiences.
Funny I never thought of it any different but post ZH, I did. The most recent I did.
