Ok, that makes a lot of sense. I was combining the two announcements (Season 7 + "Returning Summer 2019").

Interesting they got a renewal this early, they've been a bubble show for the past few years and had their budget slashed hard.

I read a couple weeks ago that AoS was the most watched comic book show when time-shifting is taken into account. Obv there’s no official Netflix numbers, and I don’t remember the source so take that with a grain of salt.

I'm fully willing to believe a primetime action drama on ABC has more viewers than anything on CW. But it's how well they do against other network primetime action dramas on the other networks that matters. It's not if AoS beats Arrow or Supergirl, it's how it does against NCIS or SVU or whatever Chicago based medical drama is on NBC at the moment.

I haven't read the comic but Hockey is mainstream enough there wouldn't be a major need to change it.

He was still tied to the Hackman version, though I thought he was definitely a step in the right direction. That movie was way too slavishly devoted to the Donner films though, imo.

When I heard Kevin Spacey was gonna be Lex Luthor it sounded like an awesome casting for an iconic villain, but then in the movie he's just doing another real estate scheme and hamming it up like it's the goshdang 80s. That movie sucked.

Idris Elba is great, but I think it's time to switch over to mahershala ali as the only black actor nerds can think of.

mahershala ali should be Lex Luthor.

I dunno, Check, Please! has several notes on how Hockey works which I didn't really pay attention to as it's irrelevant to the story, and it was aimed at a North American audience.

Luthor should always be the most lily white person you can cast because he's a stand in, now more than ever, for Trump and people who think like him. He's a rich corporate rear end in a top hat with no empathy, who's only love is for money and power, who hates immigrants because he's terrified by them.

Bullshit, Lex Luthor is a goddamned genius who actually built his way up from nothing into an empire. It's insulting to compare Trump to Luthor because Trump is a failure in everything he has ever done.

Lex inherited everything from his daddy Lionel though.

Also how many times has Lex succeeded at killing Superman? Seems like a failure to me.

I want to say that was a joke based on the common nerd tendency to suggest Elba for basically every role under the sun but then, well, people do suggest him for every role under the sun, so maybe that was a legit comment.

Yeah, I really like the version of Luthor who actually is successful and brilliant, worked his way from nothing, and loved by everyone. But then Superman comes along and Luthor goes loving crazy because he can't deal with suddenly being number 2.

At best Luthor is Jeff Bezos and should still be white because he's the personification of capitalism and corporate greed.

Again why I was pulling for Rosenbaum. We just got to see him in August and he looks almost exactly the same as he did from his Smallville days (cept for hair).

Jon Cryer is a little too close in age to Brenda Strong (Lillian Luthor) but remember everyone from Superman's side is supposed to be much older than the Supergirl cast because he's been active for closer to 15 years already.

Lex always goes on about human potential and pushing yourself or some other boot straps bullshit. Trump can't think about anything that isn't Trump based. Lex doesn't need to be loved, Trump has a sociopathic need to be loved.

Anyway, I am powering through season 3 of Daredevil and I skipped all the spoilers pages ago but I just want to know if anyone else found the origin story for Poindexter to be one of the most boring episodes ever committed to film?
