King of Solomon posted:My understanding was that they wanted to use a different character (Ted Kord/Blue Beetle) but were not allowed, so they're basically adapting Palmer to fit that role, with some appropriate modifications. I imagine if they gave him his own show they'd eventually let him shrink. Was there ever any explanation why? Is it just because they want to push the Jaime instead? Alien-power based Jaime wouldn't fit this show at all. I hope it wasn't some stupid DC comics reasons. Dorky inventor Ted Kord would fit the show quite well. I assume they would have written him and cast him differently then they have Palmer. Maybe they'll change their minds somewhere along the lines since Kord industries does still exist in the show.

I hope it wasn't some stupid DC comics reasons. My understanding is that relatively last minute DC told them they couldn't use Ted Kord without giving further explanation. Since I doubt they are going to use Kord elsewhere, my guess is they are thinking of using Jaime somewhere(maybe the teen titans show that TNT is developing) and don't want more than one Blue Beetle. But again that's just my speculation. thebardyspoon posted:So that's included in the season pass I got for like, £2 during the steam sale right? Awesome if so. Yeah, but it's only out today for playstation. X-box and PC have to wait.

Maybe they'll change their minds somewhere along the lines since Kord industries does still exist in the show. I'm convinced they would've done very little differently if it actually was Ted Kord. Brandon Routh is a great get, and he's playing an excitable technology-obsessed nerd who wants to use that tech to fight crime. He's more Blue Beetle than Atom by a wide margin, though I'm really only familiar with the former. But seriously: how can they introduce "shrinking powers" in a way that isn't absurd and silly, even if he has his own show? I'd way rather see them come up with some sort of weird meta power that tangentially relates. Like, he can bend and warp space around him, or do some particle-wave duality thing to phase around, or something else theoretical-physics-sounding. Though I guess some of this is Flash stuff. It's mostly that I don't care about fidelity with the original Ray Palmer, so I'd way rather they go off-book and do something cool. "Man fights a giant insect" doesn't sound like a premise for a multi-season show.

I hope it wasn't some stupid DC comics reasons. It is undoubtedly some stupid DC Comics reasons. Probably the fact that Geoff Johns has been trying to get a Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle show off the ground for years (at the very least since that one Smallville episode) which would almost certainly involve Ted Kord in some capacity.

This is a TV universe where they've teased Gorilla Grodd twice and the reaction has been an overwhelming,"yessssssssssssssssssssss" from the audience - I doubt anybody is going to be upset all of a sudden if a guy called Atom can shrink down really small. I remember it used to be one of the more fun powers on Misfits of Science

So did Marvel, by the look of it. Shrinking is a dumb power, just like boxing glove arrows, earthquake machines, and Australian ninjas are all really dumb. There's no reason it can't be the good kind of dumb, like those ended up being.

So over the Christmas break while visiting with family I was catching up on Season 3 and my mom watched bits and pieces of episodes and said she wanted to watch from the beginning. She didn't see anything really spoilery except that oliver and felicity are pseudo-in-love and that roy is arsenal now. ANYWAY, I started rewatching the series with her from season 1 and I have found her critique/opinions of the show hilarious. We are just about done with season 1 and here are a few of her thoughts so far: "How does anybody not realize that it's him under that hood. He's not even wearing a mask!" "Laurel needs to die" "Oliver needs to get his poo poo together and make up his mind" "I want Tommy to become his own man and stop relying on other people."  "The mom is a bitch. I hope she gets what's coming to her." In regards to Felicity: "I just love that girl." Keep in mind she is a conservative lady in her late 50's who watches maybe 8 movies in a whole year and has never seen any marvel/dc movie or read comics. Just goes to show that the average show-watcher's opinions basically echo everything said in this thread.

I'm surprised that someone who has no interest in comic book/superhero media would want to watch this show. Out of curiosity, what interested her about it? "Oliver needs to get his poo poo together and make up his mind" Also, what particularly was she referring to with this? There a lot of different ways Oliver needs to get his poo poo together.
