FilthyImp posted:And it would be SO easy to show that together they make up for their mediocrity somehow and become a really efficient team but... I like the implication (however unintentional) that the opposite is the case. Get together a bunch of useless nobodies, they inspire each other and overcome their individual foibles to become a team of... useless nobodies

FactsAreUseless posted:The year is 0. The team find Vandal Savage nailed to a cross because, a soldier explains, "he looks a bit like that guy, you know the one." They plan to stab him with the magic knife, but leave it in an aqueduct while trying to find a good Greek place. Ray, confused, founds Islam 622 years early. This should be a @TNG_season8 thing.

ApeHawk posted:Speaking of which, is that an actual thing about Jonah Hex or was that just something that might have happened to him on one of his adventures? It's an actual thing, long story short he got caught in an Apache trial by combat with a sabotaged weapon and won by illegally pulling a second knife, but the chief only saw the knife and scarred him with a hot tomahawk in punishment for his dishonorable conduct. He's usually pretty seriously fugly, like this:

Mortanis posted:I feel like this idea of the Pilgrim is really great and the sort of poo poo I want out of the show but it's been kneecapped by having a bunch of other supposedly unstoppable time bandits showing up. I'm just gonna pretend that the town they were in being a ~time shadow~ or whatever weakened the previous guys and the Pilgrim is getting around it by hunting their younger selves in stable timelines instead of chasing these temporal terrors through one chronal calamity after another.

Wheat Loaf posted:It doesn't feel like there's much of a narrative throughline to their efforts to stop Savage's plans, because Savage doesn't really seem to have an overarching plan most of the time. Compare most of the big bads in Arrow, Flash and Supergirl. Their schemes usually have a clear sense of direction and their activities usually seem to be building up to it. I don't get the same impression from Savage in LoT. I don't feel like his plans are building up to him trying to take over the world; it feels more like he goes around selling nuclear weapons to terrorists, fomenting wars between superpowers or playing mad scientist because he enjoys it, then in Rip's time just decided world conquest might be fun to try. That would be a great angle to take if they actually worked it. I don't wanna fanfic too hard here but some kind of subversive swerve like "There was never a grand plan for ultimate world domination! I just get bored and shake up things up with a big power play every millennium or so, then 'die' and let the empire collapse and see what happens. Wouldn't you if you were 40,000 years old?" could go a long way towards recovering Savage/reframing him as a different kind of villain. Like the only reason he's taking over the entire planet in Rip's time is because advancing technology has made the world "small" enough to do so, in the past he conquered as much as was feasible for one man without blowing his immortality cover/got bored and moved on.

Mortanis posted:Yeah, but for the really good reason of "we should keep doing new poo poo instead of rehashing old poo poo" more or less. Which is great. They should go back to the Titanic and run into the Time Tunnel guys, Balthazar from Supernatural, the dwarves from Time Bandits and everyone else who's ever visited the ship in a time travel plot.

Xarn posted:I am ok with the first time... who knew that it would wear off in couple of seconds? The second time though, they already knew the de-speeding doesn't hold for long and should've just loving shot him. Especially since one of the two was Mike, who knows how bad fighting a speedster is and is a psycho killer -- he really shouldn't have moral problems with just frying him while he can. I was really disappointed because we know that even without superspeed Eobard is an Oliver-level hand to hand badass and he should've had a trick or two up his sleeve for just this occasion, dude's a four-quadrant threat. e: I rewatched the fight vs. Flash/Ollie/Firestorm and Oliver has the upper hand but Wells gets some licks in and definitely isn't dunked on, it would've been more satisfying if he pulled a few moves on them instead of "evil wins because good is dumb".
