I didn't watch much of Supergirl's first season but I did watch the premiere tonight. And although the episode itself wasn't good, and I probably won't continue watching, but the guy they got to play Superman was really good.

Supergirl had the best premiere of the three CW DC shows that aired so far, imo. I don't recall any moments that made me completely roll my eyes.

One superhero can still only be in one place at a time / looking at / concentrating with one person/problem at a time. Unless their superpower is being in multiple places at once. A team means multiple people in multiple places.

Also, the rumor is that Weaver is playing a gender-bent Mephisto as the villain of The Defenders. You need to be able to punch the devil as hard as you can. Is the Devil fighting the Devil of Hell's Kitchen too on the nose or just the right amount of nose placement?

That's an unlawful arrest. That's a totally different thing. Police acting on incorrect information isn't an unlawful arrest.

Hell this even carries over into the Netflix shows where it seems the entire NYPD is infested with cops on the payroll of criminal organizations that will gladly wage open warfare on the streets. There's nothing any of them can do about the accords passing and superheroes being under government oversight though. The ones who don't sign aren't exempt, they'd be monitored even heavier. The choice isn't government vs. independent, that's long gone. And it's intentional, that way neither of them is truly 100% wrong. Yeah what Cap wants would be the ideal situation, but it's impossible. Stark is trying to make him accept the reality of their situation, but of course Cap's whole thing is that nothing's impossible so he won't. Then at the end even though he wins, it doesn't change poo poo. (Plus now Cap's team would be even more restricted to act than they would be if they had signed, but since the next time they appear is a planetary threat we probably won't see that addressed.)

Just finished watching Luke Cage. I kind of felt at least DD S1 and JJ S1 mostly tied up their season long plots with some side plots left unresolved. But I think a lot of threads are still hanging with the end of Luke Cage S1. Also holy poo poo, Diamondback's costume was really loving bad.

Tony just had to assure Cap that he was looking into the accords, looking into the people behind them, and overall giving a poo poo about what was going on. His reaction was "Yeah, we're all signing it no matter what and if you aren't, Vision will hold you hostage til you change your mind." All Cap (and I) wanted was to question some poo poo. Remember when they didn't and the government was all Nazi?irlZaphod posted:A lot of it just seemed a bit silly. All the stuff with Cutty showing up and the corrupt cops was a bit boring (to be honest I zoned out a little bit), Thea being angsty about not wanting to be a vigilante, Lance on a downward spiral again (I know he just lost another daughter, it just feels very much like a rehash), the whole rescue of the kidnapped Council members seemed dumb with the guy running through the obvious red laser. I don't know, it wasn't as dumb as Flash was, it just wasn't all that great either. After the Darkh stuff last season, I am looking forward to a more street-level criminal story though, so I'll see how things pan out. Fair. I gave a lot of credit to the parachute arrow.

site posted:Tony created ultron who tried to use sokovia to kill everything leading to the sokovia accords Does he really have nothing better to do? Also, Jones himself acknowledged the controversy and seemed to indicate that they totally recognize the difference in time from the original creation of the character and now and that people should wait and see what they are doing with the character because they might be pleasantly surprised. That's good enough for me, but I will be even more disappointed now if that's just hollow PR talk, which it very well could be.

I'm curious how they're going to present Iron Fist origins because it's so far out from the rest of the Netflix shows. Luke Cage: Science experiment gone wrong Jessica Jones: Science experiment gone wrong Daredevil: Splashed with chemicals from a science experiment gone wrong Iron Fist: Travelled to a magic city and punched a dragon in the heart.

Marvel is pivoting to the supernatural with Doctor Strange and Agents of SHIELD. This is part of that pivot. By the time it airs magic will be heavily introduced into the MCU.

I'm sorry if this has already been addressed in the thread, but is the CW Roku app complete and utter garbage for everyone else? When I tried to watch the Flash premiere it would just get hung up during a commercial break, I'd restart from the beginning, and then it would inevitably get hung up again. Not only does it get hung up, but it didn't give me the option to resume the episode. I never had these issues with Hulu. Am I really going to have to wait until all of these are on Netflix and just binge them there?

So I guess the Flash is at a series low for ratings. Can't say I am surprised. Supergirl did very well for a CW show in its time slot, but was still down from the finale last season.

King Burgundy posted:I thought they were accepting magic in the MCU as of Dr Strange? Why did they need to ground Iron Fist in science? My reading of that, which can be completely wrong, was that perhaps they were grounding his use of his powers in science, not the source of the powers themselves. That is, they might limit what he can do to keep things a bit more grounded.
