So I caught the leaked pilots. Spoiler-free thoughts: Constantine was pretty good. It is, as others have mentioned, oddly paced. It feels like it's rushing some of the time. Still, no one should expect a pilot to be perfect, and this one captured the essence of the character and his world. I really enjoyed The Flash. While there's a bit of CW-ness that was annoying, they portray a pretty amusing protagonist. I'm not sure it strictly feels much like comics Barry Allen, but since comics Barry Allen is boring as all hell, the deviations were a good move in my book. They set up some intriguing scenarios in the episode and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. I'll be watching both shows, but of the two, I though The Flash was the better pilot.

Just watched the Flash pilot. Am I wrong but did they Basically say they're doing Crisis on Infinite loving Earth? With the red skies, and flash going bye bye? I would be lying if I said I didn't have wood. bunnyofdoom fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Jul 6, 2014 |

They had to move Daredevil to Washington Heights because Ramsey has tv rights to the words Hells Kitchen.

Captain America and Bruce Banner, you are being sent on daylight, frontal assault on the alien mothership. With a bit of luck you will distract the aliens for a split second for no real gain. And Hawkeye, you have Harlem. And due to budget cutbacks, instead of arrows, you will just have a set of oversized Hulk foam hands...which you will have to pay me back for. All right? Go team!

The Question IRL posted:Iron-man: Alright Avengers, I've drawn up a strategy to deal with this incoming alien invasion of New York. Hawkeye : awe Man. Kate stole all my arrows and my dog! Are Jess and Carol assigned to wash the Quinjet so it shines to deflect lasers? I really hope the Netflix shows do well, so they can make more. I'd love to see other heroes that would work on that level like Moon Knight.

Guggenheim said they asked DC for a guy and they said no, maybe it was him. I wonder if Routh feels bitter when he looks at Cavill and thinks "that could've been me if I was cast five years later and now he's set for life and I'm on the WB".

I'll get over it, but I'm really bummed about the new character being Ray Palmer and not Ted Kord, my all-time favorite superhero. I first read the Ted Kord rumor three weeks ago, and that was the final impetus I needed to binge-watch the first two seasons of Arrow over the last three weeks. I loved it. I was skeptical as all hell for all the obvious reasons (CW show, too much emphasis on the abs, attractive but generic cast, Smallville 2.0), but it was incredible -- a real labor of love, by fans, for fans. I thought Ted was coming due to the repeated mentions of Kord Industries, and I could have sworn they mentioned "a fundraiser for Ted Kord" at one point as well. Plus, with the rumor that the new character would be a love interest for Felicity, that made sense too. Felicity was always like Ollie's Oracle, and in Chuck Dixon's Birds of Prey comics, there was a great, long-standing flirtation between Oracle and Ted. And finally, even though this was a long shot, I was hoping for Donald Glover to get cast as Ted, for multiple reasons. I thought it would be cool to get another actor of color to increase the diversity of the cast, especially a character who was a genius, who ran his own company, and who was a good, hilarious, likeable dude. Plus there was a minor movement a few years ago where fans wanted Glover to play Spider-Man, and Blue Beetle was created by one of Spider-Man's creators four years later, and he's another wisecracking, scientific genius, acrobatic, arthropod-themed hero. But now we have Ray Palmer instead. I'm sure the Arrow showrunners know what they're doing, but I'll be interested to see if we learn from the SDCC Arrow panel if Ted really was in the running and DC vetoed him somehow.

Donald Glover hasn't realised he's a bad rapper and his career is a gimmick yet so I doubt he's auditioning for TV.Kingtheninja posted:Wasn't the Ted Kord they talk about on Arrow as old as Ollie's dad? Or was that just something I assumed? It's implied he's middle aged, yeah.
