greatn posted:I'm glad people took my suggestion at face value and didn't think I was just making a fat joke. A woman kingpin would rock, and McCarthy has a ton of untapped potential in dramatic roles. Is Melissa McCarthy the one that played alongside Bullock in The Heat? Because, yeah, if she could do serious (I haven't seen her in anything but that and Identity Theft) I can definitely see her as Kingpin.

SirDan3k posted:It wasn't about honor. The episode and really the first season's theme is that revenge, like what Ollie sought in the first season, is self-destructive and pointless. This is even better now that Malcolm is back. He's pretty much the poster boy for 'broken and living for revenge'.

greatn posted:The finale of S1 is when it became clear how dumb the show was and that it was all going to be downhill from there. Heroes was an awesome one-season show.  If they had left it like that I think it would hold up a lot better. As a self-contained arc it worked. I only watched maybe half of the second season but it was obvious that the rails were coming off even then. I can't imagine what later seasons must have been like.

Fishylungs posted:Also apparently people want Claire to return? No. No one should want that. I remember when Heroes was first airing (and especially those scenes where Claire would just jump off of that water tower repeatedly, or the one where she cut off a toe just because) thinking that it would be awesome to see a regenerating character treated as how hosed up it would actually be. I mean, she heals, but it still hurts right? So I was expecting something darker like her taking on dudes and just letting them shoot her up, then stand up once they're out of ammo, or even some sort of weird superhero self-cutting thing. But no, we got 'the guy who eats brains for new powers can't be allowed to get regeneration or he will literally be unkillable' how unique a plot.

How did the character(s) figure out about the Speed Force in the comics?

IMO the Blackout stuff can be excused for being bad because it was there simply to get half the crew out of the base so the real plot (the Grant/Skye thing) could work. And that part of the episode was pretty drat good. Poor Patton Oswalt.

Error 404 posted:culminating in a climactic Season 2 showdown with Professor Zoom, where Barry finds out he is pre-destined to kill his mother or else millions of people/the whole world will die because he never becomes the Flash. I unironically expect this to come up at some point, he's fighting with Zoom in that room and young Barry shows up, so he has to save his young self (and let Zoom kill his mother) or he'll never exist as the Flash. Followed by angst/a breakdown when he realizes that he was never going to be able to save her.

I think you're right, but what reason would Thawn/Zoom/Reverse Flash/whatever have for moving young Barry a couple blocks over and leaving him when his objective is (presumably) to kill him? Maybe we're remembering wrong, or they'll flip the colors in those shots before the real air date?

mind the walrus posted:Maybe it's just because I watched the series for the first time very recently but I think you guys are being unfair to the later seasons. There are plenty of good episodes and good moments throughout both, even if neither is as fun to watch as the earlier stuff. I haven't watched S6-7 in a few years, so I don't feel like I can comment on them (other than the Adam cyborg thing being dumb as hell, that was S6 right?) I just feel like the end of S5 is a great place to end the show. Buffy saves the world but dies doing it - and finally gets a release from having to be the Slayer.

That scene in particular I remember as having an almost Tim Burton Batman vibe, with Daredevil and Bullseye leaping around these huge organ pipes that seemed to go up forever. I mean I haven't watched the movie in years and/or maybe church organs really do have pipes that huge but it seriusly felt like the crazy gothic Keaton Batman movie.

God damnit, am I going to have to re-watch that movie for this scene now? It's too bad because as horrible as that movie was, the whole literal catwoman/chosen by Bast thing would be an interesting direction to try for the character (if done in a not-lovely movie).

So I just watched a 20-minute preview thing for Gotham and while I'm still a little worried at kids Bruce and Catwoman, just about everything else looks to have some impressive potential. Especially the dude playing the Penguin, his acting and makeup are just enough to make the resemblance obvious without being caricature, and the note they seem to be aiming for with the character is actually kind of relatable. I might have to actually watch this show.

twistedmentat posted:Anna Torv is still my dream Carol. She was pretty wooden in early episodes, but by season 2 she really improved her acting, and when there are two Olivia's running around, but both are very different people it's pretty amazing. I'm not sure if the 'problem' was her acting or the directing in the first season, but yeah once she settled into the role and got to do rad things like act against herself she really stepped it up a notch.
