I noticed Reign of the Supermen dropped today, and I actually kinda like it? Felt more enjoyable than the last animated DC movie I remember bothering to watch, and Superboy wound up being my favorite character. One thing really bothered me about the final battle though, Hank Henshaw makes a point of saying Superman won't kill him, and Superman says he's right, moments before jamming a crystal through Hank's skull and having the Eradicator kill him in his mind. Which is...kind of worse than killing him but also still killing him?

Isn't that basically how the Justice Lords started in JLA?

I did laugh though when the justice league members all grouped together just in time for the falling portal to land on top of them. Also you can tell that this movie was animated before Aquaman was a hit for DC as he's nowhere to be found yet Hawkman is there for no reason.

I don't know how I forgot about this. Can't imagine the kind of one in a million chance it took to get the whole Justice League regrouping under the hellportal for really no reason and none of them-especially the Flash-not being fast enough to react to it.

Also, while not as good as Private Security, the latest Young Justice episodes finally, finally go into just what the gently caress it is the Light's endgame is. There's also some pretty clear references to the Anti-Life Equation and Final Crisis, so they may just get to it before season 52. Wish they'd maybe lighten up on gruesomely murdering Halo every mission, it's way past being shocking and edging into uncomfortable.

I did like Dove Cameron's Gwen, but the writing was fairly kiddie.

Yeah, I think she'd be great in a good Spider-Gwen series. They just don't seem to be aiming very high with the XD stuff.

That episode was hard to watch for me.

I think the reason why Olympia kept asking about the bear was a hint that she had either early stages of dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. Maybe that's why Cassandra called it a mercy killing... she would've died of the disease anyway.

Cassandra outright said that her mind had been going for a while and that is why it was a mercy.

Also glad the Ultra-Humanite is getting some respect, he is the original super villain after all.

You kind of just feel like Icicle Jr. could be a good guy if he was born to a different family.

Also, the little joke of Cyborg talking to Cyborg in the locker room.

I wonder if he will end up getting with Artemis as they are a couple in the comics.

Though I did really enjoy his banter with Conner.

When he drops off the Fatherbox to Doctor Cyborg Hal's got white temples and in general looks extremely haggard, which is the look he had when Parallax possessed his body and drove him insane.

Wasn’t it retconned into Parrallax having been inside him since Coast City got trashed? Which is why he aged and went evil?

No, it was retconed to Parallax having gotten into him earlier than that. The white hair wasn't aging but a symptom of fear. Coast City is just what cracked him enough for Parallax to get full control.

I think it will be just because of that. I suspect Dr. Jace is going to be the real betryer who's either Tara's mother (remember while brushing Halo's hair she said she'd lost a little girl) or cloned her or something and is somehow controlling her actions somehow.

I just found out there's a free app on my PS4 that lets me watch Spectacular Spider-Man for free. This is a good day.

(Also that weird CG one with NPH as Spider-Man, which is trippy).

Both of which were made by Adelaide Productions, who made a bunch of other really good shows as well
