From what Warren Ellis has said, Global Frequency died mostly because of one executive who got pissed off about the pilot leaking online.

IDW has decided to get on the TV bandwagon and adapt some of their original properties. So far they're doing: Life Undead, V Wars and Brooklyn Animal Control. I've never read any of them so I have no idea if they'll be any good or not.

The CW has announced another DC show in development, this time its Hourman but instead of the whole super drug addict thing they're apparently giving the character the power to see things one hour into the future. I have no clue whether or not Hourman has ever had that ability.

Dacap posted:AMC has ordered a pilot for Preacher Makes sense, while Preacher has distinct story arcs you could pretty much put as much filler as you want in there. Especially given the travelling around searching for God part of the premise.

One thing I've always found annoying about Preacher is how after a certain point it feels like Ennis just got tired of the Genesis plot where Jesse just stops using it and then it never really gets resolved.

So apparently Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg are writing/producing the Preacher series. Makes sense seeing as This is the End was also a mix of humor/supernatural.

Tuxedo Jack posted:I like many of Rogan's films, but if the Green Hornet is any indication on his level of dedication to the source material, I'll save myself the trouble of getting hyped over this. Green Hornet had a pretty messed up production so I'm not sure you can lay all the blame for it being lackluster on Rogen.

The CW have changed their plans for the Flash on Arrow. Barry is still going to show up pre-powers for a 2 episode arc but instead of showing up later in the season to become the Flash they're going to give him his own pilot.

Mr. Maltose posted:Would have been if Green Lantern didn't crater in theaters. Maybe if they had actually made a good movie. Anyway, for actual TV stuff, last night's Arrow introduced Barry Allen and he was a lot of fun. There's a little bit of Silver Age in him as he's constantly late for everything. Also the show was just taunting people last night because they had a scene with Barry climbing on a shelf full of dangerous chemicals while you heard lightning in the background.

Lets just run down a list of things that happened in just this week's episode: Slade Wilson was revealed to be alive (missing an eye) and was the mastermind behind Brother Blood Prof Ivo forced Oliver to chose between Sara Lance and Shado saying that he would kill one of them. Oliver choses Sara and Ivo makes good on his threat, shooting Shado in the head Roy Harper is injected with "mirakuru" which gives those that survive the treatment super strength and makes them extremely hard to injure Solomon Grundy injured Officer Lance and killed a whole bunch of cops The Arrow battles and defeats Solomon Grundy Barry Allen gives Oliver a proper mask Barry Allen is struck by lightning caused from the exploding particle accelerator

The annoying thing about the whole Flash stuff is that Arrow is kind of a victim of its own success because they were originally going to have Barry back later in the season to give him a backdoor pilot to his own show but CW executives loved what they saw of these two episodes and decided to give the show a proper pilot. Unfortunately this means we won't see Barry back as the Flash any time soon.

Vincent posted:I'm thinking of starting on Arrow, but from what I've read here and other parts of the web, the first season is just bad. Can someone please spoil for me the important parts of season 1 for me or is there a season recap so I can start with season 2? Nah, the first season is good, it just has some rough spots. Mostly in that they're not sure what to do with a couple of characters but the stuff with Oliver is straight up good all the way through.

One of the funniest things about Smallville was that Tom Welling, who was playing "young" Clark Kent is older than Brandon Routh. Edit: Also that Smallville ran for 10 years and he only became Superman at the last minute of the last episode. muscles like this! fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Jan 14, 2014 |

ToastyPotato posted:I thought he had something to do with security for some reason. I only bring it up because they specifically say at some point that it was only Ollie and dad on the raft and I thought it was funny that they basically erased him from existence. After they rehabilitated Robert's character a little they probably decided they went too far with that and just kind of gloss over it.

bobkatt013 posted:That was due to him being the breakout star of the show, and they refused to get rid of him. They should have killed him off since he is a serial killer. There was that couple of episode stretch where he turned good because he and Peter were stuck together for like 20 subjective years and they talked it out.

bobkatt013 posted:That was another huge problem with heroes, they were all overpowered as gently caress. If they kept powers sort of small with huge threats being overpowered and therefore they all had to team up to stop them. However, nope they make most of the main characters stupidly powerful. I mean Peter and Sylar were as powerful or more powerful as Silver Age Superman. poo poo now I wish Peter was able to shoot out tiny Peters of his hands to help him. That was all a symptom of the fact that the characters weren't supposed to stick around and that they were going to change up the cast every season.

Season 2 still had the glorious moment where Peter left his irish girlfriend in the plague hellhole and never went back. So who knows what happened to her since ?? I'm pretty sure Sylar ended up killing the eye bleeding girl. The Irish girlfriend left in the hell future was really weird because of how unnecessary the whole thing was.

Bryan Fuller gave an interview where he reveals where exactly they were headed in season 3 before he came back and it was fairly dire. Like the whole thing with John Glover as Sylar's dad was supposed to be the big bad of the back half of the season.

Yes, Oliver has called Thea "Speedy" multiple times, although they did kind of mostly drop it after the first season added Roy. Although I think he called her it again either last week or the one before that.
