He was barely ever in the DCAU to be fair. But even the DCAU fell victim to the Bat Embargo, didn't it? JLU basically had Batman and no one else from his books for a while, because apparently that would confuse people who watched Batman Begins. Aphrodite posted:Green Lantern, actually. Green Lantern was a special case, because there has pretty much not been one GL character since the Golden Age version. Additionally, the cartoon went with a lesser known GL and introduced a lot of people to the GL in general through him and kind of proved that you didn't need to be put older versions of the character on a pedestal to make it successful, so suddenly seeing Ryan Reynolds play the older, white version of the character was kind of a slap in the face to a lot of newer fans.

Dr. Fate did not look so good in motion. And Hawkman's wings often felt way too small when they were on screen.

^^^ Fox has those, so Universal getting Namor is even more peculiar. Aphrodite posted:They just got them in 2006. That's still 8 years ago. Fox and Sony both have to put out stuff every few years or something like that. I think the longest they can go is 10? I mean, Fox did that early 90's FF movie just to keep the rights refreshed and then never released it, didn't they?

Oh so they have decided against recasting Agent Carter. That's nice of them. When the series was first announced like a year ago, before AoS debuted, there was a rumor that Hayley Atwell wasn't going to be in it, which was weird because she had just done the short film and it didn't seem like she would be too busy to get her own primetime television series.

Waterhaul posted:Actually Disney purposely sold extension rights to Sony for Spider-Man in exchange for some TV animation rights when Spider-Man 4 wasn't going to happen. Spider-Man doesn't have an "as long as you're making films deal". So is it a time limit then? I almost feel like they should have let the movie rights lapse and said gently caress it to the TV rights, which they have proceeded to do nothing but make an incredibly mediocre at best children's cartoon with. I highly doubt it makes them more money than rolling Spidey into the MCU would have.

I am a little more than halfway through the first season of Arrow and it is almost disgusting how much it has outclassed every aspect of Agents of Shield so far. The writing is so much tighter that its gross. It manages to have mysteries that are gradually and continuously explored through each episode, as opposed to simply being referenced so that the show can hurry up and go no where with a mostly filler plot. It's new characters seem far more interesting than AoS ones, and it has already made liberal use of more actual comic characters than SHIELD has in as many episodes, even if some of them have been wasted. From what I hear though, there is no shortage of them in upcoming episodes for me. It really kind of throws most of the defenses of AoS out the window. AoS is just a badly managed show. There really isn't anything to it. I hope they shake up the writing staff for season two. AoS did take a turn for the better in the last couple of eps, and maybe the "back nine" will be a huge improvement. We'll see.

I'm guessing representations of Slade that we have seen in stuff like Arkham Origins and Injustice and in the comics and cartoons in general, I guess, are anatomically impossible? Well the head gear, I mean. Well I suppose normally it would be a mask and those never look the same in real life, but in Arkham origins, its actually a helmet looking thing. Here it looks a bit over sized, but I am wondering if that is because when video games give him a helmet, they essentially shrink his head so the helmet doesn't look big.

Arrow is, so far, significantly better than Heroes. Though I am including everything that Heroes was, not just the first season which was pretty decent. Arrow is also better than any superhero show I can think of right now.

That's good news. Quick Arrow question: They retconned an entire human being off of the Queen's boat, correct? Because I feel like I remember there being another dude on the boat that the dad shot first, before killing himself. But after the first few episodes, that person is never mentioned again, nor the fact that his dad straight up murdered a guy to save his son.

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.

A lot of these shows get ahead of themselves in plotting sometimes which is fine when they live long enough to pay off, but they very rarely do. It seems like most shows that last long are the ones that don't really plan that far ahead.

Well for better or for worse, Heroes Reborn is only 13 episodes and is being billed as a miniseries. So it is either going to be plotted decently and be watchable, or it is going to fail spectacularly. I wonder if they pitched the idea to be more like the original concept. Each "season" would be with different characters on their own arcs. Would be pretty easy to do if you kept the seasons really short.

404GoonNotFound posted:Weren't Hannibal and Under The Dome initially billed as miniseries? This will only end in tears and more undiscovered Pitrellis. "Miniseries" is the official new code word for "we have no faith in this show and it will probably not get another season". I guess it looks better to shareholders who don't know anything about what they are investing in when they see a miniseries come and go in 10 episodes as opposed to something being billed a big development sinking in the same amount of time.

^^^ Couldn't they have picked up the pieces later? The old Heroes threads probably wouldn't survive today. Smallville I don't know. I can only base this on how much a few people whine very loudly about other people criticizing Agents of SHIELD in its thread. It's kind of a bummer.

Tuxedo Jack posted:Fake or real, they've already dropped the ball on this one. GCPD should have been a ready for television pitch. Dialing the clock back on the characters twenty years doesn't do anything except confuse your audience while you try and reboot these characters on the big screen (not to mention develop another TV continuity on Arrow). Then, they go a step further and make it a show about Gordon and young Master Bruce's relationship... There is no "real" long game at WB. They are more than happy to concede just about everything to Disney/Marvel at this point in terms of quality and branding so long as they can promise short term profits on their own franchises. When the time comes they will pull the plug on DC for the most part without much hesitation. Basically I am saying they probably figure superheroes is a bubble that will eventually pop, so they don't give any kind of a poo poo as to investing any real energy into developing the properties they own. Let Disney spend tons of money making three dozen movies and TV shows and cartoons, we'll release some Batman and Superman stuff occasionally, rake in the quick cash, and then fire everyone at DC when the bubble eventually bursts.

Edit:^^ He would have been growing up during a bad patch in HK history. But yeah, there isn't anything for him to do there anymore. Unless he wants to beat up the homeless that hang around Port Authority Bus Terminal. CSI: NY was also largely not filmed in NYC, at least not at first, I never watched it long enough to see if they moved. How I Met Your Mother, which is all about NYC and how great it is, is filmed in LA. The tax incentives thing kind of sucks. Disney can easily afford to just pay the bills. These incentives just end up losing money for the state.

Seeing as Flash's recent TV cartoon appearances have had him eating a lot (as Wally West at least) I would imagine that they do end up going with that for the show, even if it isn't comic accurate, mostly because it is a visual gag they are going to want to pull and gives him a "quirk" they can play with.

WarLocke posted:"Cut! Someone get Grant another Whopper, we have to start from the top!" It's not even the amount that is bad. From my experience it is the fact that the food itself is sitting there for quiet some time, constantly being reheated, or sometimes not reheated at all. I've seen multiple actors spit out food between takes if they still have it in their mouths when cut is called.

I think a lot of people were turned off by the advertising for the show and probably even the first episode. I practically had to make a presentation to get my friend to watch it because he had seen parts of the pilot and most of the ads and was convinced the show was absolute trash. Now he genuinely likes the show and binged all the way to catching up. I was basically the same way.

With regards to Skye becoming Captain Marvel or Ms. Marvel, one thing you should all be worried about is that Skye is absolutely not her real name, and that we do not know her real parents. Which means they could totally pull off a "My real name is Carol?!" type thing.
