Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie

Aphrodite posted:

Rise of Arsenal may very well be the worst comic book ever, but they determined it depicted addiction and PTSD well.

I think that title has to go to Identity Crisis for several reasons, including what triggered the creation of BSS.

So BSS is what happened when Something Awful got PTSD?

Okay, just for context though, the "Rise of Arsenal" comic by DC which had Roy Harper beating people up with a dead cat also won a Prism award.

Was the cat the same one from Ollies arrow?

More casting news

We are getting a new hero in Mr Terrific, played by Echo Kellum. Its the Curtis Holt version, a wealthy tech guy who will be working with Felicity.

Really, he's going to be called Curtis? That makes it sound like he's Michael Holt's loser cousin.
Was Marvin Holt already taken or something?

Unless he falls in love with Ollie and does some kind of Fatal Attraction thing...

I would accept him falling in love with Ollie after seeing him on the Ladder.

But then again I want to see the internet lose their minds about it.

Looks like they were seriously considering tossing in some GL stuff into the Arrowverse before the news about the GL Corps movie dropped.

Goddamn it WB. I mean, the budget for Arrow has shrunken so much that it'd be really hard to do a good GL in action, but even just to have him there for a little bit would be great. Something to spice it up. And Ollie and Hal were besties in the comics, weren't they?

Green Lantern is the lamest losah in the DC universe and I'm glad he isn't going to show up.

There are already plenty of characters in the show and it's time to give Thea and Laurel some decent crime-fighting screen time.

John (Stewart) Diggle taking Oliver on a healing roadtrip across America is still on the table at least. He's already the Black Driver!

But yeah, considering how badly they fumbled with Roy introducing more heroes just seems like a bad idea for the rest of the cast. Green Arrow, Black Driver, Speedy/Red Arrow, Black (is she officially Black yet?) Canary, plus guest stars is a lot already. Even Diggle, Oliver's best friend, hasn't really gotten a whole lot of dedicated screen time lately.

Ollie and Hal are sorta besties but with opposing ideologies and it really depends on the writer. As Ollie waned in popularity though, it became more common to have Hal and Barry be besties since they also were the headliners for DC's Silver Age among other common traits as well as easily being in the same weight class compared to Ollie being mostly Street Level with less ability to punch above that superhero class when solo. (It's the Hawkeye with the Avengers dilemma except worse).

Hopefully Thea's costume allows for her stunt double to fit in easier.

On the one hand DC's policy of taking poo poo away from Arrow because it's in the movies is super annoying

on the other hand, now I don't have to have Green Lantern bullshit polluting my teevee

There is no homosexual terrorist Johnny Silverhand
They took out Ted Kord despite there being no being Blue Beetle in any media, anywhere, within any foreseeable timeframe. Not putting Green Lantern into the show is almost reasonable compared to that.

(but still dumb)

Swamp Thing could have taken play 20 years ago and be the same story, Batman and Superman both suck because they didn't get a reboot. Green Arrow is ok now that the horrible art is gone.
