'Legends of Tomorrow': Zari 1's return has fans jumping with joy but they'd be heartbroken if Zari 2 is gone
Spoilers for 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' Season 5 Episode 14 'The One Where We're Trapped on TV'
After having her personality rewritten after changing the timeline, Zari Tarazi (Tala Ashe) has never quite been the same. From a tech nerd with superpowers to a social media starlet, the change has been a drastic one, and fans have been wondering when the original Zari would return. However, over the course of the series, the new Zari has gained enough appreciation for the fandom to not want to let either of them go.
However, Charlie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) tries to fix this, by splitting Zari's thread of Fate and allowing for both versions to exist at the same time, and the fans are wildly hoping that this is a solution that sticks. "So much on the line next week. The fate of the fates, but the fact that we might get to have our Zari and eat it too?" writes a fan, online. "Gonna be fun seeing Zari 2.0 being disgusted by Zari 1.0's eating habits, lol..." writes a viewer. "Seeing Zari 1.0 again made me so emotional but then I immediately was missing 2.0 and now that we have both back I’m like PERFECT LETS HAVE BOTH but I know it won’t stay this way," writes this less-than-optimistic fan. "Please leave me with both Zari’s so I can watch them be baffled by each other," pleads a tweet.
One fan notes what an emotional journey it's been connecting to two Zaris. "The way my heart would break if we lost Zari 2.0 next episode. I just can't. Please, let her stay. And last year I only wanted original Zari and didn't want a new one at all... Be afraid of your wishes, I guess."
Zari was not the only character that the series brought back, and fans appreciated all the returns featured on the show. "And I'm only beginning to process how great it was to see Mona, Behrad, and ZARI 1.0 all in one episode," writes this viewer. "I’ve never felt happier than watching tonight’s #LegendsOfTomorrow episode. This show is so much fun. It gives me the feels and kicks so much a**. Also... Zari 1.0!?!? I’ve been waiting for her to come back since episode 1," writes another. "'Get in losers, we're looming', 'we're just a bunch of misfits who are trying to make a difference' zari has the best lines," notes this tweet.
This, however, does bring up some interesting questions and theories. "So if Zari remains split by the end of this, could they both survive? It just seems like only one Zari can exist on Earth Prime just like how there could only be one Beth on @CWBatwoman," posits one fan online. Considering the wacky nature of 'Legends of Tomorrow', and all the anomalies that make up the series, having two Zaris on one ship would not be the craziest thing they have ever done. The real question is, will Tala Ashe be picking up two paychecks? Fate knows she deserves it.
The next episode of 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' airs June 2 on The CW.
