No, but Bride of Stein drama is cheaper than the Firestorm effect, so maybe we'll get a really kick rear end fight during the crossover to make up for it.

The promos suggest we're gonna be getting some decent Firestorm action for Legend's quarter of the crossover. The synopsis also implies that they're gonna sew up the Bride of Stein drama in that same episode. I really hope it's just a matter of Stein goes back to 87, finds his younger self having an affair, and proceeds to kick his own rear end for being a horndog--bam, timeline restored.

Half a mile of track in the middle of a forest, at ground level, miles away from the pass, that can easily be repaired. Turnbull was gonna blow up an entire mountain. That'd be a little harder to fix.

But yeah, that is really dumb that sealing off one canyon supposedly cut the entire US army off from Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Idaho :doh:

I hope the new Atom suit looks more like the traditional comic book version. Also maybe Ray, formerly the head of a huge high tech corporation, should build in some biometric security measures so that it is not possible for any random person to put it on and operate. Just a thought.

That might be a satisfactory ending to it.

Also, Citizen Steel is such a low rent Colossus. Having to put effort into blocking a train rather than just letting it collide with you.

He just needed to be stronger then the railroad ties, split those and the tracks go wide so the train digs into the dirt when it hops the rail.

It would have been better if the train ran him over, but then that caused it to derail stopping it from exploding in the mountain

but then also taking out a nearby town because that's how the Legends roll. Mission Accomplished!

Why are most of Vixen's animal powers the same. She gets Rhino power but then punches people the same as if she had got Gorilla power, instead of charging into them. I think the only one that is ever different is Bird power, which lets her see in the dark.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I assume rhino is more charging and tough hide because she was just barrelling through a crowd before the dynamite went off while gorilla is more brute strength and throwing people around when you're in a fight situation.

But also, there's probably only so many animal powers that are regularly useful. Once you find what works the rest is probably watching Animal Planet for ideas when you get bored.

But it looked great. And I liked having Brandon Routh watch as Steel:
1. was faster than several speeding bullets
2. was more powerful than a locomotive.

And if you want to get into the physics of stuff, dwarf star material would be far too massive to be used as a bullet with plain old 1870s gunpowder. A teaspoon of white dwarf star is (theoretically) estimated to weigh ~ 5 tons.
And how would Turnbull work dwarf star material to pack it into a cartridge!

There was a brilliant run in Animal Man by (of course) Grant Morrison, that came to involve Rip Hunter and even included breaking the fourth wall. Rory (Dominic Purcell) is a great one to feature in that sort of weirdness.



Edit to add: I found Jonah Hex unintelligible at times. Listened twice and had no one idea the line was
Jonah: “You do a mighty fine job bearing a burden few men could deal with.”
To which Sara smirked: “Good thing I’m a woman then.”

It starts to become a bit racist if she chooses gorilla power every time tho.

Not sure where you get this impression from. He seems to enjoy doing the show and it's very noticeable that they aren't using Firestorm that much this season compared to last, likely to save on their budget.

There are so many useful animals. Trap door spider to create web barriers to hide under. Bombardier beetle to spray people with boiling acid. Blue ringed octopus to paralyze people. Huntsman spider for short bursts of super speed.

Vixen should basically be Flash level "why doesn't she just solve all the problems?" superhero
