TL265 - Jupiter's Legacy - S1E01 - By Dawn's Early Light

Tomorrow's Legends

The Waverider has crossed us over into another universe where another world has its own superheroes and super villains. We are covering the Netflix series Jupiter's Legacy based on the Image Comics of the same name.

The first episode "By Dawn's Early Light" lays the groundwork for this universe. We have a group of heroes The Union of Justice or the Union for short, who seek to serve the world with morals and integrity. Their leader, The Utopian lays out their code. "Service, compassion, mercy, those are the words we live by. That is our Code, and it's the most important thing in the world." But that Code is hard to live by in a changing world.

The Utopian, know also as Sheldon, and his wife Grace, who's alter ego is Lady Liberty, have two kids. The Code and their parents' life as heroes have had dramatic and dividing impacts on them. Brandon, know as Paragon, wants to carry on the Union. He is not his father and even though everyone tells him he can't live up to that legacy, he tries. But even his father is unsure of him. Meanwhile his sister, Chloe, is rebelling against the code, her father and his morality. We have the original heroes who have served the world since the late 1930's and then the next generation who have inherited their powers. All are put to the test when the supervillain Blackstar breaks out of prison.

But that is only part of the story. We also get flashbacks to the 1929 era where we see our heroes before they gained their powers. It shows us the forces and morals that shape them for decades to come.

It was a bold first episode. It raises a lot of questions. It also seeks to examine many of the issues and questions about how superheroes would really work in the real world. Our podcast is ready to examine them all along with you our loyal community.
