I feel like Flash is going through what Arrow went through last season, trying to introduce a bunch of new characters and find there was into the plot. Hopefully it settles now that we have an idea of where everyone is at.

Yeah the Flash is basically just Smallville with a lot of the dumb sanded off, occasionally replaced with a different kind-of dumb.

BrianWilly posted:My completely speculative theory is everything Eobard Thawne did in the present up to the point Eddie shot himself continues to exist in the timeline, because the timeline simply can't make sense without it. If Eobard Thawne didn't exist to meet Eddie Thawne, then it wouldn't make sense for Eddie to shoot himself. See? So all the things that Eobard "did" has to remain intact -- the characters remember it, the physical evidence remains -- but Eobard himself, his continued existence, becomes nonessential to the integrity of the timeline at the moment Eddie kills himself. My pet theory is that the wormhole reappears after Eddie shoots himself precisely because of the paradox, to destroy the impossible timeline, and Flash/Firestorm fixing it broke reality and caused all this multiversal chaos. It's both the Crisis and Flashpoint! GOOD JOB BARRY.

Well, he has been pretty villainous all-round. Not only has he been murdering people out of convenience but he's been keeping people locked up purely because what they know is inconvenient. Which is kind of lovely really, no matter how you twist it. It's even their fault that the guy had powers in the first place. All they've really been doing so far this season is either cleaning up their own mess, helping their friends or stopping people who targeted Barry personally. The most heroic thing he's done all season is save Iris from some gun thugs, and even then he had to add some un-necessary grand-standing that could have killed her. I hope a hero rises up to stop the tyrannical activities of Team Flash at some point, because Central City is becoming kind of a hosed up place to live.

I didn't realize the amount of PTSD I have from 9 years (never watched 10) of that show. (Someone pointed out to me that Arrow, Flash, and now Supergirl all share that "Hero has/is made to need a support team" aspect. Kinda sucks now that I notice it, and I'm pretty sure we can blame Smallville for this as well. I mean seriously, just as I'm typing this I think about how Felicity/Cisco/Caitlin are Chloe v2.0.)

It's totally believable any of them would need support teams except maybe Supergirl and the jury's still out on her. Most heroes have support teams, even Batman has almost always has at the least Alfred and Gordon and usually a Robin and sometimes a Batgirl. The only one I can think of off the top of my head with no support team at all is Spider-Man.

I don't disagree, but I'm not talking in terms of realism or comic book realism, and there's something specific to the execution of it on all the shows I mentioned that makes it seem...formulaic, I guess is the best way I can put it. I mean, I don't really think of Alfred, Gordon, whichever Robin, or Batgirl as "Team Batman", whereas with these shows it's Team Clark, Team Arrow, Team Flash.

He has at times. The reason all these superhero shows have teams is because on a TV show the hero needs to talk to someone during action scenes. That and occasionally you need an audience surrogate. Also Alfred extensively assists Batman in some versions. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Nov 2, 2015 |

Yeah STAR Labs was originally 100% Superman's thing. I kinda hope they just have a whole different version of STAR Labs in this show, but that's probably unlikely; I'm guessing they're just gonna stick with the DEO for all their science needs. Or they could use Cadmus, I suppose. GET SUPERBOY IN HERE. (edit: frik I thought this was Supergirl's thread. I meant get a different STAR Labs in Supergirl's show) BrianWilly fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Nov 2, 2015 |

I think the difference might be that Batman tends to speak to and work with the various members of the Bat-family (which is pretty big when you start looking at Catwoman, Huntress and so on) in a very ad hoc manner. So if he's having trouble he might stew in the Bat-cave on his own for a while before Aflred drops by with dinner or Dick drops by with his own poo poo to work out and they confer for a while and work together if they think it'll be good but you don't have Alfred, Dick and Selina sitting around in the Bat-cave always there to give him counsel and assistance. Barry does tend to confer with Joe, Henry and to a lesser extent now Iris are characters he does confer with on a more situational basis, which feels more organic I suppose.

Yeah that's definitely a big difference, and I guess I just wish Guggenheim/Berlanti/Kreisberg would move away from the formula. Maybe too late for their 3 current shows, but perhaps with whatever they do next, after these 3 and LOT. (Also, I could've sworn they had had something to do with Smallville at some point, but I guess not!)

I can totally see Cisco working on other shows' tech in the background. "This? It's made to infuse the wearer in yellow sunlight even if they're miles underground. Why? Miners, I suppose. As long as they pay the rent and it's not a gun I don't ask questions."

I'd watch a show about a backup team for hire, where some Cisco/Caitlyn/Felicity types help out a rotating cast of different heroes.
