Am I the only one that finds the un-focused action scenes incredibly dull? It's literally just the actors running around waving their props. It's like the direction was: "Just do whatever, we'll fix it in post".

X-O posted:The action scenes suffer because most of the team's powers overlap and are visually boring. Hawkgirl flies. Captain Cold shoots an ice gun with no discernible effect. Heat Wave shoots a fire gun with no discernible effect. Firestorm flies AND shoots fire with no discernible effect. Rip Hunter shoots a laser gun with no discernible effect. Atom flies AND shoots lasers with no discernible effect. And sometimes does it while tiny. It's all very samey and kind of boring looking. Canary is the only one that does any actual action stuff. The action that you hated from the first avengers movie but now on a lower budget!!! I mentally groan every time Firestorm shoots off at nothing for no discernible reason.

Inspired choice to literally have your "russians torturing guys" scene be a rip-off of the opening scene to Archer which in itself was a parody. God is this show bad.

Big L posted:This is a pretty fun/entertaining show and the character interactions are great. The only major nitpick I have is how they never even attempt to properly kill Vandal Savage when he's at their mercy, like in the latest episode. At this point, I'd almost prefer if they'd pull a Danger 5 and have Savage jumping out of windows every single episode to escape. That at least would at least make sense and would totally fit into the goofy tone they've got going when they're not doing terrible drama.

Servetus posted:So grab his body, drag it on the Waverider to a nice cell, and work out exactly how much blasting from Firestorm will leave him alive but too injured to fight back so Kendra can safely dispose of him. Or failing that, just walk up to him and hold him down. He's still just some dude with knives.

Fat Shat Sings posted:Sure this villan can't stand up to the team and repeatedly loses but they just leave his body and walk away defeated a bunch of times because he can't die that means he won somehow? Don't forget how he survived by blind luck when getting tag-teamed by the Hawkers in what, episode 2? Savage is by far the least credible villain in recent memory. Like he's loving immortal. Why did the writers decide that his thing was being good with knives??? Have him wear an atom bomb on him or something. He's lived for thousands of years, his resources should be limitless. Creativity, was ist das

The team goes back to 1990 to foil Vandal Savage's plans of making "Ice Ice Baby" a billboard charting hit. They fail.

Why have they been going non-lethal all season if killing was apparently not that big a deal? Or any deal, poor guy was forgotten about in 2 minutes.

They're really petty and only concern themselves with time-travel related atrocities? Which should mean that The Flash and all of his villains should have been erased 500 times over by now but eeeeeeeeeeh

The number one rule of time travel fiction is, it has to make sense internally. gently caress other fiction, gently caress common sense and gently caress physics. Time travel is magic, it is whatever you say it is. If you can follow the rules you've yourself established you're go, it doesn't have to be more complicated than that. Legends of Tomorrow makes no sense internally which is why we keep mocking it. The writing keeps tripping over itself by adding new elements that makes previous episodes completely nonsensical. Or as someone else more eloquently put it, FactsAreUseless posted:People are annoyed that the show keeps changing its own rules in a way that prevents the plot from having any stakes at all.

Argue posted:This show and the Flash have accomplished the herculean task of having time travel logic that somehow makes less sense than Doctor Who's time travel logic but still more sense than any of the characters' logic I think the true sad commentary is that Stargate of all franchises managed this 10 years ago and yet CW keeps tripping.

Tiggum posted:Doesn't really matter if it involves time travel or not, it applies to everything. Magic, technology, whatever. If the plot of one episode relies on it working a particular way, it can't work differently in the next episode unless you explain why. I feel like it's more egregious in Time Travel fiction though.
