As the Legends would have been accused of overturning a fixed point in history, they would’ve also had to prove that wasn’t the case as they swapped Gwyn’s love Alun (Tom Forbes) for his robot clone in Legends of Tomorrow season 7 episode 13, making the time loop go on uninterrupted. Considering the importance of Booster Gold generally in the DC and how his introduction to the Legends was one of the highlights of season 7’s finale, he would have likely had an important role in season 8. As a result, Legends of Tomorrow season 8 would have probably detailed the addition of Gold to the Legends, especially as they would have had to survive jail time together. Legends of Tomorrow season 7 ended with the Waverider’s Legends detained by the Time Police and about to be sent to jail for time crimes while teasing DC time-traveling hero Booster Gold's ( Scrubs’ Donald Faison) wider involvement in the series.

Instead, it’s far more likely that it wouldn’t have been enticing to prospective buyers of The CW to have a glut of interconnected, minimally profitable superhero shows belonging to the same universe still airing, especially as The CW has lost several huge revenue streams in recent years such as the end of its Netflix streaming deal. Even considering Legends of Tomorrow season 6 and 7 ratings in a vacuum, they either stayed the same or were even better than prior seasons, making a cancelation based on Legends of Tomorrow season 7's ratings unlikely.

Based on The CW’s shows’ ratings for the 2021-22 season, Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman ranked respectively 8th and 9th, with a couple of shows such as Riverdale and Nancy Drew ranking far lower than them and still ending up being renewed. The Arrowverse show is equally well-liked by viewers, with an average audience score of 70% and a loyal fanbase tuning in on The CW. Legends of Tomorrow has an impressive average critic score of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, with two seasons reaching 100% and one 98%.
