Okay, that Krypton trailer doesn't look at all like the poo poo I expected. And if they put that much effort into costumes and sets I guess it's not going to time/space jump to 50's Smallville in the second half of the pilot.

So they won't spend the second half of the season in the caves of smallville?

I didn't see anyone getting hit on the head in a barn, Stride Gum, or HG Wells, so it seems pretty subpar for a Superman show.

I've wasted too many hours of my life watching lovely SHIELD episodes that were recommended to me because "No SHIELD's really good now" to ever watch it again, but even ignoring that, it's not iZombie or Legion or the soon to be released American Gods (yes it was a book first, but they made a comic I never read and the book was written by Neil Gaiman, so it counts) so it's very clearly not the best comic book show on tv.

If you couldn't appreciate the mid-season closer with American Psycho Robot Fitz, then I don't know what to say. Even outside of any comic properties that was just really great genre TV.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
The main characters of "New Warriors" were announced and given a little description each and also a little blurb about the show

Quote in case you don't like links:

quote:

“Doreen Green (Squirrel Girl)
Superpower: “The powers of a squirrel, the powers of a girl” (is acrobatic, strong, can fight, can talk to squirrels)
Doreen is a totally empowered fangirl. She is a natural leader—confident and tough, but not innocent. Doreen is bouncy and energetic and her greatest quality is her optimism… She has faith in others and inspires people to believe in themselves. She also takes her pet squirrel, Tippy Toe, everywhere.

Craig Hollis (Mister Immortal)
Superpower: Cannot die. Ever. Maybe. So he says.
The team troublemaker and lothario… Craig is kind of like “The Most Interesting Man Alive,” except he’s more cocky than confident and at times, charmingly grumpy. Although Craig’s superpower seems amazing, he hasn’t made use of it at all—he’s lazy and figures if he has all the time in the world to learn how to fight, what’s the rush?

Dwayne Taylor (Night Thrasher)
Superpower: None
Dwayne is a local celebrity “hero” with his very own YouTube channel. Brilliant, strong, noble, and maybe a bit full of himself, Dwayne is a shameless self-promoter and entrepreneur. But he also deeply believes in justice — at least his version of it. Dwayne hides the fact that he comes from a really rich family because he’s afraid he’ll lose his street cred.

Robbie Baldwin (Speedball)
Superpower: Can launch kinetic balls of energy
Robbie grew up watching Quinjets take off from Avengers Tower and loves the idea of being a hero. He’s an impulsive and immature people-pleaser with a misplaced sense of confidence. Although you would think throwing kinetic balls of energy would be awesome and effective – his are completely out of control.

Zack Smith (Microbe)
Superpower: Can talk to germs
Zack is a shy hypochondriac whose ability nearly makes him a telepath — the germs tell him where you’ve been, what you ate and who you hung out with. It’s impossible to keep secrets around him. He’s a big sweet guy the team takes under their wing, and they help him find and grow his own confidence.

Deborah Fields (Debrii)
Superpower: Low level telekinetic; trickster
Deborah is proud, funny and quick witted. Confidently out as a lesbian, Deborah has experienced deep loss in her personal life as a direct result of super “heroics.” She can take care of herself, or at least says she can. She’s the one who calls people on their BS and has no fear of putting her opinions out there.”

So they're going with a lineup heavily inspired by the Zeb Wells/Skottie Young miniseries (Speedball/Night Thrasher/Microbe/Debrii), which doesn't surprise me given that this is a comedy and that's the most overtly comedic incarnation of the team thus far.

Squirrels can talk to squirrels. They have several vocalizations to communicate different things, as well as signaling to each other with their tail.

But Doreen just speaks to them. Not the same thing.

Her powers also allow squirrels to understand her. That is vastly more significant than just communicating with them. If she can use her powers for that, a mere psychic tweak should make any life form higher than squirrels able to communicate with her. That's almost Omega level.

Firestar would probably eat their budget alive, there's no way they could do her properly as a regular.
Maybe if Marvel has the rights ('cause who knows) they could bring her in for guest spots. That'd be sweet.

Cloak and Dagger was always one of those properties that I wished was way more successful as I love the premise and the characters quite a bit.

Looks like both New Warriors and Cloak and Dagger will at least exist in the larger Marvel universe. I don't need Iron Man to show up, but at least be consistant with the worlds. Roxxon being in C&D and Quinjets being mentioned in NW helps that.

That Krypton trailer seems to have been taken down at a bunch of places, why would that be? Also, it'll probably suck and I'm getting strong Caprica flashbacks.

Now that Cloak And Dagger trailer seems a bit too teen drama, but it got me interested.
