Mr Luxury Yacht posted:For what it's worth they continued the story in a bunch of comics nobody read (same with Buffy) and scanning the plot summaries she gets restored by some magical time reset shenanigans but has to share a body with Illyria. Also Wesley becomes a ghost but just kind of disappears at the end of an arc.

Promoted Pawn posted:I mean the whole concept of the superpower starts with throwing out fundamental laws of physics so it’s probably correct to just get weird with it and explain as little as possible. Which I get, it's that they will also bring in the laws of physics as it suits them. So someone throwing a punch at super speed does huge damage because kinetic energy equals mass times velocity squared. Or in Ant-Man (which I did enjoy) where they go out of their way to say the number of atoms is the same, they are only reducing the space in between. Which means the guy is carrying around the mass of a tank on his keychain.

That tank single-handedly launched YouTube careers for "critics" who "break" movies with "facts and logic."

Doctor Spaceman posted:The music in the Batman and Superman cartoons was excellent. Justice League was worse and then JLU was a further downgrade. The CGI definitely isn't great, but at least the overall animation quality was much better and less digital-looking in JLU compared to regular JL. Overall I think JLU is kind of the apex of that whole universe.

mind the walrus posted:I think that was based off of the loosest sketches they made for Season 6 before being canceled, where they allegedly had plans to bring back Fred/merge her with Illyria. Who knows. It seems like the kind of thing they would do. Their season six plan also involved having Seth Green in a recurring role as Oz, which would have been just as he was just blowing up and so probably wouldn't have happened, but it would have been interesting to watch. I think they always planned to have LA be consumed by hell-on-Earth for at least part of the season, too.

hard counter posted:excuse me, KE equals half the mass times velocity squared  I was going to write "proportional to velocity squared", because that's all that matters in this case, but then figured I should write the whole thing out. Turns out I haven't used that equation in a long time.

I think the problem with movies like Ant-Man is that they try to explain things and look smart and that's what gets people thinking about how bad movies can be about following their own logic.

Superhero movies have always worked because they realised they're perfect excuses to cast handsome buff dudes who have shirtless scenes. The MCU took that a step further with emotional vulnerability and homeroticism.rodbeard posted:I think the problem with movies like Ant-Man is that they try to explain things and look smart and that's what gets people thinking about how bad movies can be about following their own logic. The best kind of exposition sounds smart and is immediately accepted by everyone in-universe but makes zero sense on the slightest thought.

They don't really though. They give one offhand line about the space between atoms and add "quantum" to everything, move on a quickly as possible, and the rest-- "don't go subatomic" stuff is just narrative tablesetting. No they don't make even the slightest lick of sense, and on the other hand things riding a flying ant, a cookie tin full of tiny cars that can become full vehicles, and a building getting wheeled around like a suit of luggage are fun setpieces. What kind-of jaded self-impressed loser does someone have to be to think the "explanations" are a sincere attempt to placate the pedants? You don't have to like that stuff or think it's charming-- I absolutely get why MCU stuff can be cloying and just not be someone's "thing," but it's not hard to see the appeal either.

weed cat posted:Well, I'm interested in Gotham - how well did it age? It ended maybe a year or so ago, and the setting itself has that sorta modern but timelessless to it. The first season is a bit shakey because the show is trying to find it's footing. It kinda wants to be an adaptation of Gotham Central. But near the end it figures it out, realizes most people watch it for the villains, and becomes a fun time. It's basically Batman '66 but made with modern tv sensibilities.
