DC's Legends Of Tomorrow: 18 WTF Moments From 'Star City 2046'

Old Man Oliver Queen comes to the aide of ANOTHER Green Arrow as the Legends find the future Star City in the toilet.

Star City 2046 does exactly as it says on the tin: it picks up the Legends of Tomorrow action in a future Star City landscape, and in turn this gave the show its very best episode to date. Of course, with Star City there comes the Green Arrow. Whilst our ragtag titular team soon discover that the Emerald Archer of this future Star City isn€™t Oliver Queen, it€™s not long before we get reacquainted with an older, bearded, one-armed version of Ollie. A version who is bitter at the world and who is resigned to being helpless when it comes to the chaos and carnage that fills the streets of his city. With the order of the day being to grab some vital Smoak Technologies-created equipment, the Legends have to deal with a Star City that is being ran into the ground by a new Deathstroke. And in addition to that, there€™s further tensions amongst the group, most notably between Sara Lance and Rip Hunter and between BFFs Captain Cold and Heat Wave. As ever, this latest outing was filled with shocking, surprising, and random WTF moments, and here€™s the very best of them.

18. What Are The Chances?!

With Rip€™s Waverider having been shot down following its escape from 1980s Russia, the ship crash-lands in literal space and time. But what are the chances of landing in a future Star City, the home of Green Arrow? I mean, seriously, Rip and his crew could have landed in any time period in the annuls of history and in any country, state or city. Granted, it was absolutely awesome to see what could unfold in the future for Star City, but it was all still far too convenient that a landing that could have took place absolutely anywhere in the breadth of space and time led to 2046€™s Star City.
