Would the reverse be happening if they show was good/successful? Absolutely.

If the show was good you would be constantly hearing how she’s so talented and funny and a genius writer etc….

Doom Patrol feels like someone at WB saw Legion and said “let’s do that but with some of our DC characters instead”

I like both shows and Doom patrol is separating itself more in the later seasons but Legion was so good and criminally undewatched
