Yup. Supeboy and Wonder Girl? Totally not afraid to exist in a world where Superheroes are a thing, but not necessarily involved in everything? Hell ya!

I have one ep to go but I've already been spoiler on Superboy. Also one of the wardrobe people leaked pics of Starfire and Wonder Girl in costume so this Conor Leslie fanboy thing is getting pretty out of hand. Who knew that tv Donna would be so great?



Edit: Look at how glorious this is

Opening scene for tonight's Doom Patrol episode "Puppet Patrol."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSLXu576mnw

The Chief is messy, Neg Man likes to sleep on girders (but not Larry), and Cyborg can't stop reliving that night of the explosion.

Bonus: 1st scene.. road trip!

Puppet Patrol was focused on Larry, but there are indications everyone will eventually get to shine.

Cyborg's dad is a dick.

It's always Nazis.

Something pretty great at the end.. one of the Doom Patrol's oldest foes..

The All New Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man!

I too was more upset about that then I should've been. Also the line that immediately followed, "I think it's an audio cassette tape!"

I think there was a commercial, or show or something that pretty much proposed exactly that. I want to say it had something to do with a kid asking "what's a computer?" or something like that, with the implication being that kids only use phones and tablets these days. Clearly what ever it was, it was written by a goddamned alien who had just landed on Earth for the first time. And then greenlit, shot, and approved by several more similar aliens.

Oh it definitely had this dialogue

"What's a cassette tape?"
"My grandparents had one in their answering machine"
"What's an answering machine?"

I mean clearly that's an egregious example but there are kids now and there will definitely be kids in the future who don't know what a cassette is.

It was an ad for iPads. Some kid was like taking photos and drawing and doing schoolwork on one and then an adult says "watcha doing on your computer?" and the kid says "What's a computer?"

Eventually, sure, and I am sure there are probably a portion of kids who don't know what it is as well, but considering that most media is currently being made by people who, A: Remember stuff from 20-30 years ago and B: Are capitalizing hardcore on those memories right now, it should be safe to assume any kid growing up today who consumes mass media will grow up learning about the stuff and should be aware of things. Assuming they don't come from some kind of broken home where they never speak to the adults in their families or who elder family members no longer have any possessions older than the youngest child. Or they grow up in one of those weird hippy houses where TV and computers are banned despite the parents having benefited from access to those things their whole lives.

I mean, I grew up in a time where it was a lot harder to get information, and I still ended up being familiar with 8-track tapes, despite us not even having a single one in our home. There's some stuff you just learn through absorption so I find it extra funny that the media keeps trying to float this weird kind of ignorance as a normal and possibly endearing thing.

As long as people who don't have thousands of dollars to drop on a whim still need to write more than a couple sentences at a time there'll still be netbooks and whatnot. the 40% of Americans who couldn't afford a surprise $400 dollar expense aren't buying their fifth grader an iPad and keyboard attachment.

That too. And the fact that schools and most offices are probably not going to switch to exclusively using tablets and phones instead of computers any time soon.

Chromebooks are the hot item right now. More useful than a tablet with better performance than a netbook. I worked with a customer last month that just bought 500 of them without validating our software would work with them. Thankfully they got to be our beta!

You guys are ignoring Apple's weird branding obsession with labeling their products something other than what we all agreed on.
Tablet? No Pad
Laptop? No Book
Computer? No Macintosh
I've referred to iMacs and iBooks as computers before and been corrected and not in like a pretentious brand loyalist way but a genuine they think computer=personal computer=non Apple products kinda way.

So in happy magic Apple cult land that kid might know what an iMac is but "wutz a cumpooter?"

iBooks is a reading app, not laptop. MacBook is what you’re looking for. And that’s a takeoff of notebook, which is not an Apple thing. Plenty of manufacturers call their laptops notebooks. See also: Chromebook.
