I like that the translation pill translated all the Japanese but decided to leave gaijan intact. Clearly this is a word with no equivalent in English.

Particularly impressed that this is the word they chose to go with given that the actual word is "gaijin".

They have embraced the fact that it's a stupid show and all the characters aside from Sara are terrible.

It's just a shame they don't have Tyler Hoechlin for the crossover, because the inevitable scene he'd have with Palmer would be the best thing ever.

FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS
I love that they had to destroy the ATOM suit for plot reasons, which will conveniently reduce the budget AND make it easier to explain why Ray doesn't just Iron Man his way through whatever issue they run into in the future.

And stop nearly all the plots of each episode being "oh poo poo, the bad guys have Ray's suit and want to use it/wear it/mass-manufacture it and we have to stop them!"

The Aluminum Man suit was about as effective as the prop it's made out of to be fair.

Both Firestorm and Atom are OP as gently caress, to be honest. The show's had to make them willfully stupid or artificially weak to maintain any kind of stakes.

Especially Firestorm. He's a human-shaped nuclear inferno who apparently exists in some quantum physical superstate, and may or may not have Dr. Manhattan-esque abilities to transform atoms or harness nuclear energy to horrifying effect. Somehow guns or bows and arrows can hurt him, though.

This episode really kind of bit off more than the budget could chew.

Well some ninjas got the jump on him and the next time he shows up he's wearing their clothes. So those guys probably got a surprise rear end kicking.

Plus, Mick was able to just hop in the captain's chair and pilot the Waverider without issue. The only other (non-Rip) person who's been able to do that so far is Sara. So there's probably some residual Kronos in there somewhere.

Mick just went back to the heat gun because, well, he loves roasting people :haw:

Mick has two modes: 1) One-liners disparaging teammates. 2) One-liners about burning things.

He's the most consistently well-written character on the show.

episodes like these where the adventures happen because they are dumbshits and not because they get sucked into the plot of Savage - a man that firestorm and atomsuit can easily incapacitate - are a much much much better way of doing this show tbh
