When I saw Diggle without his shirt for the first time I was all "whoa" and was suitably impressed. Dude's big. Can you update the op? I can't tell who they are unless I can see their abs.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:I thought Katie Cassidy as Laurel was kind of annoying, but overall okay... until I started rewatching season three of Supernatural. Now I think this is the best role she's ever done. Was she a recurring character in Supernatural? I didn't recognize her, and I watched SN up past season 8 before I decided the boys whining about how sad and pathetic each of them were was getting boring.

Oh man, I FINALLY got around to watching the season premiere and it's still great.  I have to admit I was a little concerned that with a new season it would have lost some of its luster, but nope. I'm not that big a fan of Laurel as she is now, but she's not bad or anything as a character, so I just hope the character arc develops her a little more realistically over the rest of the season. I think the writers missed a big opportunity during Arrow's rope exit, though. He, clearly, should have fired a smoke arrow into the ground at his feet before firing the rope arrow to make his egress.

I do have to say, the fact that multiple FEMA trucks had been robbed and there were no police or more likely military escorts really spoiled the plot for this one. Like, it was aggressively bad. I wish they could have brought that up or something so it could have been dismissed and story'd over. I know Police don't patrol there anymore, but an escort to the hospital would have been pretty SOP, I would imagine, especially after a truck robbery and murders. I also feel a little sexist and *male gaze*-y bringing this up but holy poo poo the actress who plays Felicity wore the gently caress outta the pink and grey onesie dress. You could see her belly button when she walked.  Her outfits are a little inappropriate for the workplace, is what I thought for about two seconds. I guess Laurel is too straight arrow  to wear non-pants suit stuff. Felicity is the character who gets to be the cheese. At least her character itself is nice and interesting.Alright, fuckit, Diggle's a handsome guy, too. He should have a clause in his contract that shows him and Queen shirtless training more, with the escrima sticks or whatever. Or they should do pull-up hop races to the ceiling. Green Arrow & Black Driver forever.

I just want to say I totally called him using a smoke bomb and the flying off into the night on one of his rope arrows. :human being: Who was Michael White's character supposed to mirror in the comic world? Or was he literally just a random karate thug with wolverine knives? He should actually have a role in the show, he's too good a dude to get shafted with bit parts.

She's not going to repeat on the show, is she? I wonder how that character would advance any development.

Besides, they may want the character to be recurring, and Christopher Lee may not have much recurring left in him. It'd be perfect. When Lee dies in real life in the next year or two they can show him being thrown into a Lazarus pit and a new, younger actor coming out.

Oasx posted:Great episode, my only problem is that they went even further in portraying Moira Queen in a positive light, there is something odd about even her kids just shrugging off that she helped commit mass murder. I won't say that arc was resolved, but Speedy really hated her for a long time. And Ollie  As far as they know the totally empirically evil dad Merlyn was the one trying to pressure her. Once they find that she had a hand in killing their dad, though.  The thing I don't get is that since Merlyn is presumably dead Oliver's mom doesn't want to take her defense to court but she could very easily pin EVERYTHING onto Merlyn and no one would contradict her.

BrianWilly posted:I think it's precisely because Merlyn is dead that the city is setting up Moira (and by extension Ollie) as the target for their vengeance. And as Moira's lawyer said, they could easily blame things on Malcolm threatening her family's life, but I think with the court trying to scapegoat her, they're going to need some evidence...which Moira doesn't want them digging into. I was mainly answering regarding why Moira's family doesn't hate her so much for helping to kill all those dudes. Although to be fair, ~350 people when multiple city blocks were obliterated is pretty low percentage of population deaths.

Deadpool posted:And more would have had it happened without anyone knowing it was going to happen. You're forgetting that it was broadcast on the news beforehand and that they were trying to evacuate. No I'm not forgetting, but you're right. I thought there was only an hour or two between the reveal of the plan and the plan actually happening, but I wasn't paying much attention to the timeline. But I also know that trying to evacuate a place like that in a few hours would never realistically happen. I just chalk it up to 'comic universe' and am mostly satisfied. From the flyover CG in the beginning of season 2, how many blocks were destroyed as a result?

She is going to go through a dramatic drunken-disorderly story arc for a few episodes; she'll probably be like Ollie's sister in the beginning of season 1 for a while, and then she'll realize the things about her sister, and then her sister'll die to save them from ninjas or whatever, and Laurel will stop drinking when she learns of her sister's death a second time and then take up the mantle of the Canary using all her fighting skills she learned about during

Ingram posted:Re-watching season 1, the episodes dealing with Laurel's mother popping up to deal with the lost daughter fake out feel like filler and stupid now that she's actually turned up and as a different actress. Oh well. Why is it stupid? It was just some bad luck to see a girl that she thought 'could've' looked like her daughter on a bad day. It wasn't bad filler, it gave that family room to grow (apart) together. And it showed Laurel has some dope rear end detective skills. And just think how badly Laurel'll feel when she learns that her sister WAS alive after all this time. She murdered her boyfriend, she gave up on her sister and actively worked to disprove her aliveliness...dang, girl, you gonna have some emotional problems

They need to do a reverse switch, in that Laurel is the one who dies off and the current Black Canary is now the sole surviving sister from their family. If anyone has to die at all, that is. But it seemed like you all have said it was bound to happen regardless.

Aphrodite posted:It's worse that comic fans only care about how fat she is, by the way. It's not about how fat she is, it's just that she is being whitewashed completely away from the original for the sake of whatever. It's pretty rare to see a powerful, black, non-sexkitten woman in a role these days, especially a show like this. Plus, it adds to a character when you have a woman who literally has no sort of edge up in a boy's world beyond her dogged determination and expertise to fall back on. Comic included. Even the woman who had Russian sex-time with Ollie, who was complaining about how hard it is being a woman in a man's world, could at least screw him in order to (potentially) try and manipulate him. Maybe it's just jumping from one stereotype of a Big Black Woman to a sexy black woman in power or whatever, but, you know. At least she wasn't flirting with Diggle.

I am super goddamn curious about the direction of Flash's superpowers in the TV show. If they gimp him periodically such that he gets hit by people swinging bats or shooting bullets or tripping him by shoving a stick in his path it's going to be such a lame drag. I tried rewatching the Justice League cartoon recently and was incredibly annoyed by one scene having the Flash running halfway around the world in a minute and another scene where an alien leads his target and throws a barrel at him. Like, seriously? gently caress you comic cartoon. Or when Deathstroke stuck out his sword and the Flash ran himself into it.  It'll totally be cool checking out the 8th and 9th episodes for Barry's involvement in Arrow.
