CW's The Flash is ending with its next season. Don't know why they couldn't have done this for Legends too.

You can have your weird funny TV show that seems to have been created to target you specifically, but you will NEVER get satisfying end. That said, Legends ending like Monty Python's Holy Grail is perfect.

Big RIP to the Arrowverse. Also, just found out that Superman and Lois isn’t in it — didn’t know that

They purposefully obfuscated it in the first season and then didn't come out and confirm that it is separate until the second season finale when General Lane specifically says their Earth doesn't have any other superheroes.

I couldn't watch X-Men '92 again without constantly hearing Bill Corbett going "well....Cerebro." in my head

He's not dead. He's on honeymoon with his wife. But now I'm sad that we don't get Apocalypse vs. Uranos

On that note, is this Krakoan Apocalypse an aged up Kid Apocalypse?

When they were making the cartoon not a whole lot had been established about who or what Apocalypse was had been established besides he was incredibly powerful and obsessed with Survival of the Fittest. Since that cartoon ending and Krakoa it was pretty firmly established in the comics he was a mutant, possibly the first mutant.

Before he went off to catch up with his wife, did Apocalypse and Cable interact at all on Krakoa? Given all the poo poo between them, I'd imagine Cable of all people would have hard the hardest time accepting things...

While Apocalypse was around it was Young Cable who I think knew about the beef but it didn't happen to him directly so he didn't care.

I still do not know what Apocalypse's powers are.Madkal posted:It's kind of a shame the animation is really rough and crappy. The voices though are spit on. I still hear those voices in my head when I read X-Men comics. This is true for me and 90s Spider-Man too. To this day, every Spidey comic sounds like that fellow.

He can grow and shapeshift and uh, might be telepathic and um, is super strong and can't be killed and can... Transfer his consciousness from one body to another and he can make mutants extra strong and create cool machines and is immortal and

I always thought his power was some kind of vague enhancement of mutations which is why he could affect his Horsemen and absorb other mutations… somehow. I don’t understand a lot of X Men stuff. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the whole Krakoa thing. Like… all mutants are immortal friends now? Because Moira was a mutant all along searching for a solution to mutant apocalypse? Or something?

Moira's mutant power was whole-life Groundhog's day. She used this to guide mutants to a point of isolationist utopian living and then once people caught wind of it all kinds of further crazy poo poo started happening, including stuff like capturing her and putting her in stasis so she never dies to fix X-Men problems.

Apocalypse's powers are even more vaguely defined than Thanos, who is like a more vaguely defined version of Darkseid

I dunno, I read the first omnibus and definitely starting not knowing what the gently caress exactly was going on by the end, especially in the segments set in the far future. Coulda sworn some of the future missions were like "go break moira out of time jail so she can die" type stuff.

Oh, those are all lives Moira lived previous to the establishment of Krakoa and the resurrection protocols. I thought you meant during Krakoa.

It feels like I'd have to spend five lifetimes just practicing remembering things so I could even get started on a project like that.

I stopped reading at the end of the omnibus so I've always wondered what the next phase in her plan is. Like it's great that she pulled off Krakoa, but now whenever she dies she has to do all this again to create that situation, from now on, forever. I guess they just also freeze her in place but it's okay because they're the main characters. Maybe they just have Scarlet Witch do a one-woman M-Day.

IIRC Apocalypse has complete control over his molecules which lets him change size and live a long time etc, but then he also has a bunch of celestial tech so that gives him all the other stuff

Hard to say what the original plans Hickman had were, but it turned out she wanted to cure mutants forever. Like make it impossible for new ones to be born, and then cure or kill all the living ones. Then she would cure herself.

Just started watching Paper Girls. I read the comic but didn't love it, and I think the series is correcting some of the flaws in the comic. Could be that the comic just works better in trades vs issues. Either way, a fine watch (I'm only on episode 3)

Could be that the comic just works better in trades vs issues. I love the book and just started re-reading it. It's definitely a different story almost entirely while still maintaining some of the big themes. I enjoyed the series as well. Edit - It's a lot like the Boys. Took the general framework of the story and changed it up enough to appeal to a new crowd while still being faithful in spirit to the original.

Anyway the cool thing about the revamp is that it took X-men into an insanely sci fi space where the regular drama of watching teenage mutants die was wiped out, in favor, hopefully, new stories that weren't just that. Then things got a bit complicated.

And that Celestial Tech enables him to have control over other peoples molecules so he can do the Horseman thing. StumblyWumbly posted:Just started watching Paper Girls.

I read the first 2 volumes and the trailer showed nothing of what I read in them. There were no people on quetz's for example.

I read the comics ages ago and kind of forgot about them for the most part. My wife keeps asking me what is going to happen next and I keep telling her it's different from the comic so I have no idea what is going to happen next. That being said Paper Girls has been really good.

SonicRulez posted:Kinda interested in seeing where they go with Born Again. To my memory, S3 of Daredevil covered at least part of that story already. Still, happy to see it. Cox was a great Murdock and he should be in more projects while he's still up for doing it. I hope to see Colter soon. I thought he was a great Cage even if the stories didn't always live up. Season 3 of Daredevil pretty much had the taxi scene. Which is arguably the highlight of Born Again. Also the greatest Simpsons episode is "You Only Move Twice."
