Aubrey Plaza's 'Legion' Twist Had Twitter Shook
Lenny had some impactful scenes.
The highly anticipated Legion premiered to mixed reactions from Twitter last night. Loosely based in the X-Men, Legion follows a young man named David Haller who thinks he’s mentally ill but is actually superpowered. While David (Dan Stevens) himself had many fans talking, his best friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza) stole the show. At least, she did according to Twitter.
Spoilers for the premiere below.
Legion is already messing with people’s minds. Lenny’s accidental death had people shook, and psychic resurrection even more so. Either people loved it or hated the premiere, but the killer cast is definitely what will keep fans coming back for the next episode.

Plaza’s Lenny, though, was the real winner of the night, making a splash in the premiere with, well, her death and blowing fans away with her performance.
@LegionFX was mind bending. Aubrey Plaza is brilliant and its like Orphan Blacks craziness meets Inception meets X Men. Sheer brilliance

Every shot of Aubrey Plaza in Legion is just YES

Legion is like 12 Monkeys sorta trippy. The fact that it's linked to X-Men and Aubrey Plaza is in it makes it even better.
