Hate to double post, but here's a new clip from next week's show.

The visuals on Atom's shrinking aren't the best, but there's something highly amusing about all the crooks who try to snatch him while he blasts full sized lasers at them.

I like how Vandal is just sitting there watching this.

That's a great clip. The production values for this show are superb.

Honestly though...Savage should just be completely outclassed by these people, shouldn't he? I'm not even sure how he should be a threat to Ray alone.

eh, only Ray and Firestorm would really be able to gently caress him up.

Dude is "magic" and would probably clown everyone else. 2 guys with guns, 2 worthless hawkpeople, a future guy with a future gun and an assassin.

What does Savage even do with magic? Damien Darhkhkh's done more magic than him. In the Flarrow crossover Savage had the staff of magical blue Horus explosions and that was the only impressive thing he's ever done. Barry should've hosed him up the very first time they met but he didn't because Barry's perennially brain-damaged. I'm sure we'll see Savage do...something...to prevent practically any member of this team from clowning him, but so far I can't imagine what it would be.

Being immortal? I'll assume that him magic regeneration or whatever

or they could get anyone with a gun to shoot him a few times then get one of the hawkpeople to finish him off. the rest of the season is getting drunk and into bar brawls through time.

So Time Masters are discouraged from marriage or families because they don't need "entanglements," and when Rip's family died the Time Masters refused to help. So he's really Anakin Timewalker.

Turns out Vandal Savage just wanted to chill out(and kill hawk people every 10 years or so) but then this rear end in a top hat from the future started messing with his poo poo NON STOP. So of course he had to take over the world to prevent this from happening.

List of people on the team who can't take Vandal on:

Kendra
Prof Stein

Actually prof Stein would probably take a huge bong rip then science up some poo poo. Savage is not a credible villain at all.

the dude is literally immortal, and the only person who can possibly kill him doesn't even know how to fight properly

most of the team can incapacitate him(except for plot stupidity) and wait for Kendra to walk over to him and put a knife in his chest

very dangerous villain

Now that he has more to do he's putting up a better showing. They're also doing a wonderful job of establishing why he's so dangerous with this episode. He has all the time in the world, and a long memory.

Yea that was nice too see. Also him shooting magic blue lasers from his dagger haha.

Stealthed Zombie posted:

So are they going to explain why they can't just take his body to the time ship, wait for Kendra to wake up and then stab him?

Other than "There's 7 episodes left"

Rip is dumb as gently caress is why.

Binary Logic posted:

Solid episode. When it started I thought the whole team was going to make an entrance in Ancient Egypt in period costumes. Maybe some day.


1. He's already dead, so killing him now will not end him.
2. Even 'dead', Savage is far too dangerous to take on the Tardis Waverider. If they fail to finixh him he could take it over and become The Master (of Time and Space). Speaking of that I got a kick out of someone yelling in Rip's face, "Why?" like it was a riff on the usual question to a Time Lord of, "Who?". With all his crazy schemes, Jax should just start calling Rip, Dr. Why.

-So they can wait until he's healed then have Hawkgirl shank him. They don't have to bring him on the ship, keep him in a 1970s warehouse. Then they can all get super high while waiting for him to heal.

So they stash him in a warehouse and then his followers find and free him and we're back where we are now.. :derp:

You mean the followers that were so poo poo that even Jackson was able to beat some of them up? :smug:

It was just real dumb leaving him(and the dagger lol) there. They should have just put in a part where a ton more Vandal believer reinforcements showed up so they had to retreat after Rip cut his throat.

Couldn't they have, I don't know, tried to do something other than just let the small yield nuclear explosion go off in the middle of a gulag? Seems unfortunate for all those prisoners.

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 would make the show infinitely better.

Mick is still the best.

Future Star City was a good timeline because Ollie said Felicity left. Sure the city is in ruins, but it's a price worth paying.

Love triangle subplot was dumb. Shame they couldn't give them anything else to do.

The previews made this look like a bottle episode, but man they really made it memorable.

They didn't need to leave Mick in 2016. They could have dropped him off in a secluded place in 2017. Would their timefuckery have erased Mick Rory from the timeline? They seem to play loose with the rules so who knows.

Well the reason they didn't leave him in the present is because most of the team has family still alive in that time so they were fearing retribution. So really there is no good option.

(they shouldve put him back in 2046 or whenever he was gangleader)

I hope it's Hawkman and he's super pissed that Kendra is being hit on by Jax and Ray.

If they were just super mediocre it'd be fine. But they manage to actively contribute to a superfucking of the timeline.

Giving miniaturization tech to a bunch of terrorists 40 years before it's really developed.

Proving the enemy's Nuclear Man equation works during the height of the cold war.
Helping to release an apocalypse virus 5 years ahead of schedule.

And so on. Rip could have recruited a team of hobos with attitude and cycled them out as the died to better effect.

It was amazing that Rip was angry and refusing to let Ray get his shrinking suit from his apartment at first. Like c'mon you retard, this happened before and that was just with a piece of his suit.

Also it involved a super dangerous mission of walking to his apartment and coming back. Rip really is the worst.

Leaked ep stuff:

This is terrible, they cheaped out on the Hex makeup, and somehow the Hawkgirl storyline just got even worse. This show practically counts as pro-Savage propaganda by this point.

Rip himself, in the latest episode, explained that he went back to the time his family was killed, over and over again, going slightly earlier each time. He couldn't even count how many times he did it, which (even for these characters) should suggest a number greater than two or three. But Pilgrim only gets one shot at changing the timeline because... um... stuff.

I like how the explanation for that was that "time wants to happen". I think it would be hilarious if the reason that Rip's retards can't stop Savage is for the same reason.

The Time Masters were right all along :tinfoil:
