Deadpool posted:Comics chat that is 100% allowed in this thread includes the Arrow Season 2.5 comic that's written by the show's co-creator Marc Guggenheim. It's pretty cool. Right now it's dealing with Brother Blood II who is the first's bodyguard. It also introduces Lodai who is the guy that Oliver has been paying to make all his gadgets and his suit. He's the one that's making Roy's costume too. Seems like someone they may eventually introduce in the show as well. He's all scarred up though and his face looks kind of melted so if they do it'll be a heck of a make-up job. It's a fun read and I recommend grabbing it if you're interested. Is this comic intended to form part of the Cannon of the show?

Gaz-L posted:I'd have guessed the proposed Supergirl show at CBS (they part-own the CW, so they could still crossover), but I feel like they'd have said so if it was. The Wonder Woman show the CW was developing a couple of years back, maybe? I got the impression from the article that there was another CW show set in the arrowverse currently in development, and they just aren't ready to divulge details yet, so it wouldn't be a past show.

When Sara's killer said 'Hello Sara' It sounded distinctly like an Australian accent . Read into that what you will.

Has anyone else noticed that ever since Arrow, it seems like every second show out there starts with a 'My name is...' voiceover from the main character? Flash is a spinnoff, so that's ok, but then Forever did it, and Scorpion, and it seems like a whole bunch of shows.

BrianWilly posted:I don't want to get too deeply into this because I'm sure I've already exceeded the upper limit of talking about this specific topic on this forum, but that's really only one part of fridging; it's really a mix of death, disempowerment, and gratuity. The original Women in Refrigerators website that Gail Simone started, for instance, didn't just list off girlfriend that got killed to make their boyfriends sad; it was a list of all female characters in comics that got somehow shuffled off the stage by way of death or disempowerment, as an examination of why there were so few active, powerful female superheroes that writers could write about, thereby examining the difference between how female characters were treated in those instances versus male characters in comparable situations. I have to disagree in the case of Moira - Her death was virtuous, she stood up and insisted that slade kill her, so that her children would both survive. Slade even commended her honour. It's no worse than Tommy's death.

As ridiculous and implausible as it is, how hysterical would it be if she was just seriously injured and the promo was a fakeout? This whole argument would have been a total waste.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:i heard this show was good, so I started watching it from episode 1. I think I'm about 6 or so episodes into it, and while I like it and it seems decent, it hasnt starting gripping me yet like I'd expect from what people say. Does it get any better or different? I encourage you to watch it all, but there is a slight slump in the middle of the first season, centered around a 2 episode arc with the introduction of a certain character. After that, it goes full bananas amazing and stays that way. Forever.

ufarn posted:Season one is really soapy and in large parts absolutely awful. It had some soapy bits but to say it was absolutely awful in any part, let alone large parts is a gross exaggeration. At it's worst (the huntress arc) it was mediocre; but still better than say, any of Gotham so far, or the first two thirds of season 1 of shield, or any of smallville ever.

Pwnstar posted:There's a difference between your characters having relationships and CW MAXIMUM ANGST NEVER SAY THE ONE THING THAT WOULD SOLVE EVERYTHING relationships. I saw no evidence of the later on Arrow. That love triangle would have lasted seasons on a show like smallville, here it was a minor background plot thread that petered out to a timely conclusion. I'll admit Huntress was a tad melodramatic, but I think her subsequent season 2 appearance was better, and I have higher hopes for a future appearance.

I enjoyed the movie overall but once it actually got down to the big fight it went far too long and was far too 'mindless Michael Bay action-y' for my taste.

MrFlibble posted:Nah if Merlyn is right and Ras killed Sara then keeping him alive is the best way to get justice, which is a big deal to the super-hero types. Of course you run into the problem of how the hell do you get justice if the guy who trained the guy you can't imprison is the one who did the killin'. technically Ras is the guy who trained the guy who trained Merlyn.

Back when roy was crazy, didn't he pull arrows out of himself that Oliver fired at him, then throw them back as a weapon? My guess is it's just his Mirakuru trip memories resurfacing, and blending together with random poo poo the way dreams do; not him actually having been the one to kill Sara.

Whizbang posted:He's getting a new costume, they've talked about it before. Who is? Roy or Oliver? I thought this episode was pretty good but there was far too much flashback time - it wasn't as interesting as the present day stuff and it robbed us of more Slade. They should have saved some of it for a different episode.

Narcissus1916 posted:gently caress Lazarus Pits for completely cheapening death in the Arrow universe. We need explanation on the limits of this awful device, and soon. Ras already said something about how 'the healing powers of the waters are losing their effect on him' so it would appear there is a limit to the amount of exposure you can have to the pit before your body develops a resistance to the effect.
