It's kind of weird that the entire world nuclear arsenal was just disarmed, and seemingly nobody noticed or remarked on it.

I suppose in a world where there's dozens of people running around with the power to fart nuclear explosions, a nation's nuclear stockpile doesn't matter as much, but it'd still be pretty big if a giant portion of every superpower's stockpile just got tossed out.

Sure, season one of Flash had General Eiling going on about how nukes were going to be on the way out anyway once governments realised they could weaponise metahumans.

I really liked the Arrow finale and season as whole as well. I feel like it's in an interesting place going into next year. Mayor Queen should be fun.

I liked it too but man was the Darkness dialogue painful every time they said it. And they threw up massive flags for Laurel not being dead again, which after the other episodes has convinced me they are cruel bastards.

Stephen Amell is saying that next season's Arrow villain won't have any powers.

muscles like this? posted:Stephen Amell is saying that next season's Arrow villain won't have any powers. That's good. I had a long conversation with my brother last week that the problem with this season of Arrow really goes back to the Flash. After Flash season 1 came out with all those fancy metahumans and got great critical and fan buzz, Arrow writers/showrunners felt the need to keep up so they were like "Well poo poo we'll have a superpowered antagonist too!" Only since metahumans are Flash's thing, they had to think of another way to explain his powers so they went "how about magic?" only to find out halfway through that it was actually really hard to write a season with a villain who was immune to all the protagonists' (very limited) methods of attack and had a massive criminal organization backing him. In short:

Speaking of, how the gently caress are they going to raise the stakes for season 5? Can't really outdo "nuclear apocalypse" and Flash already has dibs on "destruction of the multiverse." Maybe more personal stakes?

I thought the first Flash/Arrow fight worked well and given how dumb Barry has been this last season I could see Oliver beating him on tactics and trick arrows. And no one from the "Destroy the Glades to Save the City" crew in flashbacks from season 1 has shown up much except Merlyn.

I just think it would be a nice change of pace if they remembered Merlyn was a villain at the beginning of the season rather than the end like the last two seasons.

Can't really outdo "nuclear apocalypse" and Flash already has dibs on "destruction of the multiverse." I posted this in the Arrow thread as well, but... This article about super hero movie tropes is appropriate: http://uproxx.com/filmdrunk/superhero-movie-cliches-to-retire/ quote:Countless superhero movies, especially in the past decade, have ended with the heroes having to thwart a bad guy pointing a giant laser thingy at Earth: to suck its power, to terraform it (Man of Steel), to plunge it into darkness so that it can be ruled by Dark Elves (Thor: The Dark World), etc. I suspect this came about as a consequence of the fallacy that “bigger stakes = bigger drama!” Superhero movies kept trying to top each other, with evil plans that got bigger and bigger, until it wasn’t just the Earth being threatened, but “the very fabric of reality” (The Dark World again, which, actually, works great as parody).

Tom Cavanagh is confirmed to still be a series regular for season 3 of The Flash. I imagine that he'll still be around because Barry's Flashpoint shenanigans kept him alive.

Also, let's be honest, that's based entirely on Noah Hawley's name. No way in hell is a show about Professor X's mentally ill son getting to series if the guy behind Fargo isn't producing.

I'm still convinced Legion is going to somehow enter development hell at some point. I'll probably continue believing this up to the day it airs. Speaking of development hell, there is still no news on that Hellfire show Fox is allegedly making that was announced at the same time as Legion. I'm even more confident Hellfire will never get made because I can't imagine anyone who'd want to watch an X-Men TV show about a random cop investigating a group of X-Men villains.

I'm watching Arrow, in season 2, and I'm pretty goddamn tired of how most episodes consist of two members of Team Arrow being snipy miserable cunts at each other for 35 minutes. Also extremely tired of the fact that everyone holds endless grudges that never take into account context or severity. Lying about something that ends in somebody else being killed is apparently directly equivalent to actually killing them in the Arrow-verse, even though that doesn't make any goddamn sense.

Wait until you get to later seasons, where killing people isn't even roughly equivalent to killing people. In fact, you could argue that killing more people is less bad than killing less people, unless you kill too many and then it becomes bad again.
