odiv posted:I'm (irrationally) annoyed about Clark and Kara hanging out in National City while Superman happens to be in town. You're both super fast! You could totally have Clark continue to work in Metropolis while Superman is helping fight bad guys in National City. Kara offered to fly to Italy to pick up food for a date! Don't tell me that he wouldn't be able to handle this. You could even do some dumb sitcom subplot of him ducking out of a meeting for a few minutes to battle and then rush back (with a piece of rubble in his hair). I fully expected Cat to reveal that she knew Clark was Superman and that she knew Kara was Supergirl before the show ended. Even if it was only her talking to herself. Because, it should be super-obvious to her. Also, I want Constantine to come back. He needs his own show again set firmly in the Arrowverse. Heck, Arrow and Flash are both in situations where he'd be helpful right about now.

Dongattack posted:Is Arrow good now? I feel like i should get caught up seeing this and seeing as i watch Supergirl and Flash, but it was unwatchable when i stopped watching at around season 2/3. Ollie hasn't been shirtless as often this season, so that detracts from it a little bit. Also, Felicity's new boy friend is a bland husk with no defining qualities other than "is smart". Seeing Oliver get some character development toward not being such a lone wolf rear end in a top hat as he tries to train up the new squad is a long-time coming. So, I like it but I admit to having bad taste.

The stuff with Alex was hard to watch, because it was so true. That was great writing and even better acting. Her looking back over her life and realizing she'd had these feelings before but chose to bury them, the fact that she was so confident that now everything would be amazing because she figure it out, the way Maggie looked at her with almost fear not wanting to get in on that newbie action, how Alex immediately fell apart and questioned everything, trying to go back to how it was before but not being able to. It was all so real and it resonated deeply with me. To be real, she'd go back in the closet for a while, be all hyper-feminine, dating burly dudes, then bust out again after realizing the can no longer keep in. Or maybe she's bisexual. That's the first thing my wife said. To be honest, I am invested in her story more than anything else on the show right now. Because it's the only thing that I can relate to personally. She's treated so much better than Sarah Lance who's sexy times seem to be comic relief more than anything else.

STAC Goat posted:Ok, content. Kara didn't want to date Mon El because thus far he's shown himself to largely be a selfish, drunken, womanizer. Its totally fine. Kara's just really bad at letting people down easily. And I kind of wish they had stuck with that instead of going "wait, he isn't an alcoholic? Well maybe you DO have feelings for him!" It wasn't the alcoholic thing. It was that he was drinking the same thing Kara drinks. If Kara drank orange juice at the bar, he'd be drinking orange juice all the time now. Everything he does (until Tessmacher) is because he wants Kara to like him. He wants to be a hero because of her, he tries to be less selfish because of her, now he's drinking club soda because of her. He's puppy dog in love with her and she's only just now realizing it when (because it is the CW) he decides to bury his feelings and try to (or pretend to) move on. Cupcake sandwich thing. The only place I've ever heard of that is on these very forums, never in real life.

STAC Goat posted:Oh, I was being flip about Mon El. Obviously he's trying to be a better guy because he's crushing on Kara, and clearly he's using Kara as his role model for a good person. But like, Kara already knew Mon El was trying with the super heroing thing which made this week's story feel like "you're a womanizing drunk/actually he hasn't drank in a week/oh, ok, I like you." Which feels very silly and superficial. I think it was more that it shamed Kara. Not that she suddenly likes him but that she really doesn't know him at all because she is as dense as lead. Edit: not as dense as Barry Allen, but still.

They've never hinted that he had a kickboxing hobby or anything that would allow him to survive street fights. And obviously his super-suit isn't even bulletproof.

Karate. http://www.elvispresleymusic.com.au/pictures/elvis-presley-karate-black-belt.html quote:Elvis trained from 1970-1974 under Master Kang Rhee in Memphis, TN. He said Master Rhee had a good reputation and had come highly recommended by Ed Parker, his former instructor, of California. During the four year period under Master Rhee, Elvis, like all the other students, selected an animal title by which to be addressed in the training area. After first choosing Mr. Panther, that name was later changed to 'Mr. Tiger' because of existing political implications associated with the name 'Panther' at that time.

And Arrow's actually more than once shown people like Laurel and Curtis struggling while the ones who excel like Diggle and Rene actually do have extensive background experience. I do like that Arrow's Mr Terrific is like a super marty stu. Olympic decathelete, multi-disciplinary genius who is also a incredibly nice person. But he is a nice person so I do enjoy his character. Of the sidekicks, he's had the most development. Bad Dog or whatever is just a street punk and Rag Man has literal magic on his side. The other lady who betrayed them was getting secret trained by Prometheus. And, yes, Laural was getting her rear end handed to her until she convinced non-Talia to teach her some moves.

Chokes McGee posted:The way she picked up a knight at the end of the episode, I'm pretty sure she's going to be the driving force behind Checkmate on her Earth. It'd make sense, since she'd want to go up against CADMUS. I love that they set up the scene at the beginning with Lex and his mom showing that Lex is a chess master and have Lex invite Lena to play. You think Lex is going to dominate her and it will be the start of her abuse, making it look like she's always been the victim. Then they end with Lena showing almost prodigy level skill at chess implying she is quite capable of playing the long game and knows exactly what she's doing. So Checkmate, what's that? She's still a good guy or is this the start of a heel turn? Also, when she has her hair back, she reminds me so much of Ursa from Superman II: the Wrath of Zod.

If you fast forwarded through the relationship drama, you might as well have not watched it. It was the Valentine's Day episode; what did you expect? Also, Kara and Mon-El arguing was fantastic. I really expected this to drag out for the rest of the season since this is on the CW, but thankfully, it happened sort of realistically. Also, if anyone was going to be cool with having an alien for a significant other, it'd be Winn. Nice to see him moving on and nice to get a little insight into how all these different aliens must feel wandering around on a planet that either doesn't know they exist or wishes they didn't exist. So, was Q based on Mxysptlk and then this Myxyspotluck was based on Jon Delancie's Q? It was the finger snapping. The episode was full of smiles and "awww" moments. It was a perfect Valentine's Day episode.

I don't know what enjoyment you get out of the show without the relationship drama, to be honest. It's on the CW; that's the point. Oliver is sleeping with the reporter who is digging into his past and has discovered the Bratva connection and just relaized he's actually the Arrow. Barry and Iris have a no-chemistry relationship that is in danger because of some possible future where Savatar murders Iris. And on Legends, bland white guy number two slept with lady-from-the-30s.

Pan Dulce posted:I didn't get that message from what happened. I thought Kara was right to tell Maggie that she should consider how her sister feels. A relationship, a healthy one is about considering others AND your own boundaries. If it's important to someone else, both of you should come to a conclusion after talking to one another, not storming in with a surprise Valentine's Day or by yelling and running away. Maggie was asked to face her feelings, not suppress them. She was keeping it bottled up and not dealing with it and it was hurting what she has right now. It is a very well-written relationship. So is Mon-El + Kara. So is Winn and the alien whose name I don't remember. They are all different types of relationships but every one is believable and done well. Like 150 times better than Kara + James. Even Kara and Lena's friendship is better written. I mean, drat.

You know, maybe we should have brought an extraction team or something to apprehend CADMUS.... nah, makes much more sense to send the two most emotionally invested individuals all by themselves. No chance for mistakes or bad judgment or manipulation there. Also, have Alex only bring her magic alien gun that makes things explode and not a regular old gun or a taser or literally anything else. Edit: it is a comic book show that is like a comic book. Same reason James isn't dead. It works and I love it.

Mon-El is a poorly written character masquerading as a character growth. His incredibly massive change in personality is not realistic. Well, let me rephrase. It is definitely realistic as someone who is very inexperienced at real relationships trying to change everything about themselves to make the object of their affection "happy". What it doesn't include is the inevitable toxic relationship where Mon-El loses everything that makes him an individual and he lives entirely for Kara and Kara doesn't notice or care because it seems pretty great. Then eventually Mon-El becomes bitter, jaded, and snaps, which, when you have super powers, is bad, murder spree bad. I love the relationship. I really like Kara and Mon-El being together because they are absolutely adorable and have chemistry. But, if it doesn't end in tears or at least some deep, deep introspection, it will be nothing but fluff. Yes, I've argued in the past that Mon-El was always good, but didn't know that was an option while living on Daxam under his parents' rule. But, the change is too great, too fast, and too complete. He really needs to be questioning himself more, having more doubts, making more mistakes. What's funny, is if this had been a woman completely changing everything about herself to appeal to the man of her dreams, it'd be a standard plot point and not even seem weird (although it should). Like on Arrow, i am so glad Felicity is getting back to her hacker roots with Helix. Oliver can go suck on a arrow.
