Plus, shape-changing was always more Plastic Man's thing. The balloon animal hand.  He talked about being a giant sling-shot (but he didn't actually do it).

Dibny in the comics had some amount of shape changing powers but he couldn't go full ham like Plas could. LIke, he could turn his fingers into lockpicks, but not just turn into literally anything he could think of. Love that bullet bounce back effect, it's straight out of the comics

XboxPants posted:This is part of the problem. If stealing the artifact to return it to the tribe was something they signed off on, and it was okay when Dibny & Barry did it, then why stop her at all? It's like it's only bad when she does it. The justification being, of course, it's bad when she does it because her ways are savage, and their ways are civilized. The main criminal I remember flash cutting deals with was snart and the deal was he could rob but not kill. Black buffalo was introduced as a murderer not as some Savage native; I think reading into it the way you did is kinda flawed.

Black Buffalo's opening move was ripping a guy to shreds, Flash didn't have time to tell her his real identity and cut a deal for happy fun crime like he did with Captain Cold.

I find it hard to believe the necklace piece would end up in a museum in Central City. There are so many laws regarding native artifacts, even if sometimes it takes a while to get them back - see the Kennewick Man case. Just googling "native american artifacts museum law" returns tons of examples of artifacts being returned. Even if they were still at the museum, there would almost certainly be a very public ongoing lawsuit. I'm not exactly an expert on law regarding American Indians, but seriously writers just Google for five minutes.

I know it probably seems like I harp on unimportant details, but TV writing is a long and involved process, and I think it's really stupid that nobody is taking the time to ask questions like "how does an insulin pump work" or "does this situation even make sense." But then I remember that they forget about details like "what is the villain's plan" and "why do these idiots compulsively lie to each other" and "is Barry going back to save his mom after all just a really loving dumb idea," so I don't know what I expect. I know they can do it, though, because I just finished another re-watch of season 1, and that's still some good TV.

This is why I like LoT the most now. Everyone fully endorses that the characters are idiots and lean into the comic books fully. None of the "see, this isn't magic because we are using technical words", just straight up Damien Dark killing people with literal magic to the tune of a song

FAU, if it makes you feel better, my last gig was scripting a reality series (which isn't really screenwriting but more writing loglines and summaries and letting the subjects take it from there on set) and I'm pretty sure that I paid more attention to detail and plotholes than the Flash writers do.

Hopefully with Kreisberg's removal, the writers can be re-energized and encouraged to speak out against dumb ideas. Or probably not. Anyway here's a 30s promo for the crossover: https://youtu.be/E12IRE556LY (the still was spoilery)

Guy Goodbody posted:I just hope this time the Arrow episode isn't a dream sequence. From what I’ve read the crossover this year was filmed as one giant four hour movie spread out across two nights. So that means that the Supergirl and Arrow portions of it will actually be completely a part of the crossover this time instead of being 90% a stand-alone Supergirl episode and 50% the Arrow 100th episode celebration special, respectively, like last time around.

Yeah, last year they seemed to favor letting each show do its thing but it really made the crossover feel disjointed and half done. This year they seem to have just hijacked the other shows to do a standalone story, which is the right approach for a crossover. Even if it will probably confuse some people who don't watch all the shows.

Last year's crossover also had the weird thing where not every character was showing up on other shows. So the Legends show up to help but Nate and Amaya didn't, with similar things happening to Arrow and Flash characters.

Yeah, and half of Team Arrow sat the last episode out for some reason. And of course none of Team Supergirl showed up. I guess it probably had to do with production stuff, schedules, money, contracts, etc. But it was weird. Fun, but weird. Film a 2 hour thing and break it into 4 parts. Seems like that's the approach they took this time. Hell, they even moved the schedule around so its really just 2 2-hour parts. But boy is that going to be confusing for people who binge the shows on Netflix. But true to all classic comic book crossovers if they throw a little panel up that says "Don't Watch This Unless You've Seen..."

"It wouldn't be the first time someone played nice and turned out to be a bad guy." itt Barry harasses a crippled dude. I'm guessing they don't "beat" DeVoe but he just ends up dying because he burns himself out.

What is the deal with the surface pro "commercials" that are apparently still supposed to be canonical scenes? Those are weird and obnoxious. Do they do this in any other shows? Is this the next big thing in advertising?

With DVRs becoming pretty much universal and live viewership down, they're finding new ways to get their advertising in and that's definitely one way of going about it.

Someone really should make Barry a suit of some kind that includes a mask that covers part of his face. Then he could wear it when going places or doing things that Barry Allen shouldn't be seen doing.

I mean gently caress, why did he not search the whole house faster than it takes to record a frame? It's more infuriating than Team Flash collectively making GBS threads on Barry and losing faith in him when he and the entire audience knows Defoe is the Thinker.
