CW comic book shows are inept soap operas. When they should be fun, action packed soap operas, like the comic books.

Constantine would have been peeeerfect as a HBO show. Vertigo was basically its comic equivalent.

Rhymenoserous posted:I quite enjoyed the show. I think it would have been better as a premium (think HBO) show but that's life. Jeez that would be my nightmare. Just to put my cards on the table, Constantine (or Hellblazer) are some of my favorite comics, and plumbing through books like All His Engines (which could work as a season by itself, a neo-noir ten episode block taking place in LA, complete with demon movie producers and everything) are treasured memories from my childhood (and even adulthood, these things hold the poo poo up). Constantine works because of the stuff it implies, how it lets its settings imbue the plot with added significance, from the perfidy and perversity of English aristrocracy, to the pure anger of artist types against Thatcher, to the familiarity between powerful beings in any realm and the indifference they treat those lower than themselves. Constantine also works because of how goddamn good the writing was. Mike Carey,Warren Ellis, Alan Moore, it was murderer's row of top tier creating types allowed to go hog wild on anything they drat well please, as long as they kept the atmosphere of dread and creeping terror that is the Hellblazer imprint. The idea of giving the property to the poo poo heap hacks running the Greg Berlanti comic verse would be depressing as hell, and frankly a travesty. Give it to someone (anyone) with chops, a record of making good drama (even if not supernatural) in either movies or TV, and give them total creator control. It's the only way to do the property right. Also limited episodes.

Back in the early days of computers I had a bunch of .WAV files that I'd listen to constantly. "It's a big rock. Can't wait to tell all of my friends. They don't have a rock this big." is one of my all time favorite lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6npX-3fqWs

zoux posted:Saw a news item today that the WGN Scalped series will have a majority Native American cast. My first thought (after, well duh) was, I had no idea that they are making a Scalped series! Love the book, but it's very much in the "anti-hero protagonist behaving badly and self destructively" with a side of "overshadowed by the more charismatic and interesting antagonist" that is about half of all prestige TV these days. Also I really hated WGN's Manhattan, am pretty meh on Salem, though I have heard good things about Underground. Gonna have to disagree with you re Manhattan, loved that show, and I mourn it weekly.

I think nerds and superhero fans (repeating myself, haha) have low standards as long as they are getting what they want, more superhero fare. People will still defend Smallville here. Fans as a whole were never going to totally hate on IF, no matter how bad it was going to turn out. You just have to pick people who you respect to listen to when spending your valuable free time.

Lurdiak posted:I know, I've just been marathoning a lot of garbage US tv, and all of them have an episode where there are either subtle or overt hints that Christian faith is real and characters go through an arc about that. I want to see the House episode or X-files episode where muslim faith is given that consideration. One cool thing about Supernatural is how much it goes into the opposite direction. God's such a dick.

Rhyno posted:It was one of those terrible syndicated shows like Cleopatra 2525 or anything Bruce Cambell appeared in during the 90's. It was a step above that, with good production values (for the time), good actors (the bad guy, the nerdy and handsome sidekick, who was also in Nip/Tuck), a certain level of seriousness with the subject.... But it was kinda undone by an inability to not go full bore with the material. It was never as cool as you would hope it would be.

Edit: I always find it a little bit funny there's some people in this thread that constantly rave about it and recommend it whole-heartedly, when at best its an incredibly divisive show. Like, if you're recommending stuff you'd want to do it with stuff with a less narrow appeal. iZombie is a better recommendation. Shageletic fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Apr 12, 2017 |

Dexo posted:Turns out people recommend stuff they like. Yeah, but its an incredibly specific thing to like, that necessitates a love/tolerance for soap opera plotlines, cheap budgets, and standard comic book finales/climaxes. There are people recommending AoS without any of those caveats for people not as plugged into comic books as they might be, and I think that's a little misleading. Like I can recommend Legion to anyone, but if I'm gonna recommend Flash S1 to anyone, I throw in alot of "uh buts" and "if you're into that sort of thing."

TwoPair posted:They run across another Hawkman later in the timeline who has been brainwashed by Savage to mess with them. They fix the brainwashing (which is weird because they all seem really emotionally invested in a guy they hardly knew (and who technically, none of them have even met in this iteration). At the end the Hawks fly off together because they're so happy in a Savage-free world, thank God. They never address how this has to ruin their timeline, since there must be a Hawkgirl in the future who is going to die sad and alone (they meet a past Hawkgirl who makes it very explicit that no matter how in love she may be with Atom/another guy, she'll never be as happy as with Hawkman) Whoah what's this now? Was thinking of giving the second season a shot but this puts a wrench into things.

The Eye was in Simon Spurrier's run of Legion. David's Father and Shadow King most def. That's about it. There are plenty of other versions of Division 13 in the comics tho.

Haha from the Sepinwall articlequote:Iron Fist (fighting alongside Jessica Henwick’s Colleen Wing), who’s unfortunately just as much of a petulant charisma vacuum as you remember. (Even when he means to sound threatening, he comes across like he’s annoyed you mixed up his pizza toppings.) Def not too excited about this series, which is a shame.

Medullah posted:I think 25-50 year old comic fan is a pretty big audience at this point. Like I said, I'm too old for the show, but htinking it right now, I don't think I would have been into Runaways as a teenager. I think it would have benefited as being a 30 min drama, get rid of the melodramatics and all. There's a reason why the comic got into the meat of the plotline relatively quickly.
