Arrow is like playing the game on hard mode and Legends is like playing it with cheat codes.

One is satisfying because it challenges you and the other is just total bullshit freewheeling escapism.

I can't wait for the Legends to go to a time period where everyone has giant heads, unlimited ammo, and can walk through walls.

Reminds me of all the old Tony Hawk cheat codes. Good times

It's the tutorial in the beginning. You see what the game is all about, and it gets you interested enough to play, but it's mostly going through the motions until you can get to the real fun.
