Arrow is where all of the magic stuff is being parked right now what with Dahrk last season and Ragman this season. A Fate series based off of the comics would be nice, but at this point there might be a bit of saturation.

Fuckin Trump Riot posted:I am totally emotionally invested in Alex right now, because you can tell she's CRAZY about Mags, even before she came out, and didn't stop to consider that it was more than being "straight" that kept them from a relationship. Like I said earlier, she got shot down HARD by her very first gal, and just a day or two after the emotional turmoil of coming out. Maggie putting her hand over her mouth in horror as she realized what just happened really sold the loving gut punch. She knows exactly what it's going to do to her, and there's nothing she can do to stop it. We're not on CBS anymore so who knows.

Test Pattern posted:At least when Marvel does this, there's some connection. DC just loves reusing names with absolutely no connection. See also Atom, Mr. Terrific, the various flag-themed heroes in and about the JSA who are connected in the most ludicrous ways, etc. At least with the Steels, the original was a golden age character who wasn't in use so "Steel" was relatively safe. Citizen Steel was a reference to that golden age character though and Steel was at least not MIA or anything so that was odd in that regard. Some of the similarly used names were because of DC basically making new characters with old names as Silver Age reinventions as traditional (at the time) superhero comics hit a decline post-war. The silver age reinventions were a way to capitalize on the sci-fi trends of the era. Shade and Shade, the Changing Man are probably the oddest pair of unrelated characters who were both reinvented in the 90s. The former was a recurring, though relatively minor Flash villain who appeared in both the golden and silver age and was also a foe of Starman. The latter was originally created by Steve Ditko in the 70s and then was cancelled after several issues. The former reappeared in '94 and reinvented as a mentor for the new Starman while the latter showed up as a Vertigo series as a more bizarre and reality bending version of himself that was reborn a lot.

Licarn posted:Why do people still try to rob banks and raid jewellery stores in National City? I guess because they're not very smart but come on, those guys went through all the effort and expense of acquiring a bazooka when they could have just done the heist in a city that isn't protected by a flying alien that can shoot laser beams of their eyes. I forget which comic it was in, but there's an issue of some DC comic where it's a bunch of robbers who're in a car talking about why which city is the worst. One talked about Gotham, another about Central City, there might've been a third one as it's revealed that they weren't actually driving the car, it was Superman hand delivering them and the last guy saying that Metropolis is the worst because Superman is jsut way too loving nice as he's aprehending them. I need to find that one because I thought it was really amusing.

Kara has a bit of that messiah complex going on in regards to super crime fighting belonging to superpowered people (or I guess the DEO). I kinda want a Arrow/Supergirl crossover just for Ollie to go up against her (with adequate preptime on his end) for whatever reason. Also did she forget about "The Detective" in Gotham?

Chokes McGee posted:Checkmate was actually what Waller's organization was called in the comics, not ARGUS. They were less mustache twirling evil than Arrow and much more shades-of-grey DCAU. So, more of a tweener I guess: out for the greater good but willing to get her hands dirty. I actually didn't know Checkmate was under Task Force X and not independent. I think it moved away from that in later comic books (about 10 years ago and about 20 years after its introduction) and became a more S.H.I.E.L.D. like entity that was under the UN Security Council with a number of notable members like Alan Scott (the original GL), Mister Terrific, and Maxwell Lord. At this point in comics, Checkmate is still in the same position as a UN sanctioned spy agency (I think), but it's not made much appearances outside of gatherings with other spy orgs or in the latest arc involving Lord. Interestingly enough, Cadmus is from the 70s and was largely involved with genetic engineering and, notably, the creation of Superboy. A.R.G.U.S. is a recent invention that was introduced with the New52 and basically filled the role Checkmate did when it was introduced. I don't recall how the D.E.O. fits in with A.R.G.U.S. since both exist in the DCU and are both US agencies. Presumably one is Military and the other is Civil, but idk. I do wish Mister Bones got an appearance on Supergirl. I do hope we get S.H.A.D.E. one day. That might push the budget too hard though depending on if they use the older version with the Freedom Fighters or the newer version with Frankenstein and the Creature Commandos.

twistedmentat posted:DEO does come off like chumps with very little power. They're secret but not autonomous. Like they had to give Roulette up? ARGUS or SHIELD would have just dissapered her rear end to some black site never seen again, same with Lilian Luther. They know they're bad news, no need for a trial. The DEO didn't have Amanda "The Wall" Waller at the head of the department getting poo poo done. ARGUS is deeper in the "You must be this Top Secret to know about this" ladder than the DEO. It's the same in the comics iirc.

Lobo's also part of the "Last of his kind" club alongside J'onn and Kara. Of course, Lobo's race went extinct because of him, but that's besides the point. I think the only tricky bit is finding someone close to Lobo's proportions that can also act at the level of the rest of the cast. So who's looking good in pro wrestling that wants to dress up as a biker with white body paint and can fit the role?

Longbaugh01 posted:Zod again? Seriously? That's just kind of lazy. And if he's in the finale then that means they're setting hi up as a big bad for at least part of Season 3. Sigh. They've really been pushing it, but at the same time, making it so that there's no betrayal makes it a little surprising in that way. It was definitely a fun episode, if a little by the numbers. The Snapper-Kara plot was good and I really like him, even if he's not part of the A-cast (unless they decide to give him his comic book powers). I do feel like there's a bit of a problem of having Win's girlfriend go fight crime unmasked, even with the escort of Jimmy/Guardian. It feels like it's just asking for more retaliation against her or aliens in general The cat-eating alien thing is also a reference to Alf.

FELD1 posted:Yeah, it really doesn't seem like a credible threat. That being said, I think the last few episodes are going to be really cool, and I like the idea of a surprise alien invasion. The Daxamites will probably be able to drum up some support among the persecuted alien population on Earth too, so that could be interesting. At the very least, the Daxamites have their spaceships for their initial assault.

Slave races don't just grow themselves overnight. It's way easier to find a pre-existing group and enslave them instead of the tedious process of making them yourself.

Hollismason posted:Oh man, Mon El being on Legends of Tomorrow would be awesome. He'd definitely be a more budget friendly powerhouse than Firestorm, Ray, or even Steel. Of course, if that much particulate lead would gently caress him up (btw, wouldn't Win and the Luthor's have gotten a much more potent dose of lead since they were at ground zero?), he'd probably never be let off the ship in any time period and location where the automobile was in popular use pre-banning of leaded gasoline or pretty much any major city during the industrial revolution.

Binary Logic posted:What is the effect of "silver" kryptonite? Is it so specific that Kara appeared to Clark as Zod but Rhea was not seen an enemy?! In comics, in '63 it was just fake Kryptonite. No effects. it was reintroduced in 2008 as semi-magical and basically causing the effects of marijuana (i.e. hallucinations, loss of energy and hunger cravings). That issue also introduced the Lil' Leaguers.

I'm sure there's a line and the loudest and most standout portions of fandom are probably over the line especially since part of that line is the self-declaration of being part of the fandom versus merely being a fan. Also, there's just something off-putting shipping live action characters vs. animated or drawn characters.
