Barry Convex posted:looking forward to Superman dying in tonight's episode and never appearing on this show again because that was the only way the film side would allow TV to use him God, I hope BvS and Suicide Squad critically faceplanting and blowing up the public good will towards the DCCU convinced WB to pull the stick out of its rear end and let the Arrowverse do whatever the hell it wants to do again. That would be sweet

kefkafloyd posted:"See now if the bullets don't work, right, why the punching? I've never understood that." I don't know if Hoechlin's happy boy scout Superman is a direct response to Henry Cavill's lovely dour Superman, but thank god either way. That's how you do Superman. That first scene with Clark is the prefect way to explain away having such a gee wilikers golden age character in a more cynical modern setting, just call it out and move on.  : "Your attitude is terribly outmoded and not realistic in the slightest." "Well, that's just the way I am. Deal with it. UP UP AND AWAY!"

If at least Hoechlin and Routh don't have a scene together this year during the mega-crossover, than the entire season of the entire Arrowverse has been a miserable failure

Pyroi posted:The fake president is obviously whatever a DC Skrull is, and the real president is Wonder Woman. Now that I think about it, something like that would be the most "ha hah gently caress you" solution to the Batman problem the shows sort of have dangling in the background. Bruce Wayne exists in the Arrowverse, but he's oldass man Bruce Wayne played by Adam West. He's just living his life as a quiet retired old billionaire and his Batman days are long behind him.

Glee should have ended like three years before it actually did. I stopped watching it long before Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin ever appeared on it, so when it was pointed out to me that they were on Glee my reaction was like "what, as background extras?" I recently broke down and watched like the final 5 episodes of it on Netflix just out of morbid curiosity and it was like the most uncomfortable sit I've ever experienced as various characters cropped back up and I was slowly reminded much Glee ruined all these peoples' lives and careers

Really, Jimmy's been kind of redundant to Supergirl since the start. I'd rather see Winn and Mon-El become a secret superhero duo. Jimmy's just Iris West with like a quarter of the charm and even then I'm really underselling it because ever since late Season 1 Flash, Iris has been kind of amazing

Barry and Cisco apparently just swoop in at the last second to recruit Kara for the Arrowverse crossover. That said, we are getting a pair of proper Flash/Supergirl crossover episodes later in the season.

Norwegian Rudo posted:Keeping her identity a secret hardly seems to be a priority. I saw backstage photos from the DEO set and there was a locker with "K. Danvers"... Plus, basically everyone in her life is some sort of amazing badass, or is one degree of separation away from amazing badasses, so it's not like that whole "I'm protecting the people I love" excuse really holds water either. Like, basically the only people in the world that don't know she's Supergirl are the Luthors and Snapper (because, let's be real here, Cat totally loving knows she Supergirl, she's just been angling for Kara to confirm it for her).

Down to them replicating the Luthor dynamic from Smallville of all places with Lena and her mother instead of Lex and his dad. Not gonna lie, this is really making me wish that they get Michael Rosenbaum and John Glover back in cameos as Lex and Lionel Luthor at some point on the show. I mean, they've brought back Dean Cain, Brandon Routh, Mark Hamill and John Wesley Shipp, so Bertlanti isn't adverse to bringing back old DC TV stars.

That's basically the reason the show is set in a completely different universe from the rest of the Arrowverse. The CBS brass prickishly refused to let the show be a real Arrowverse show--because CBS is run too-to-bottom by greybeard assholes--until public outcry for a crossover got too much and they allowed a one episode deal with The Flash. Even though the show's on CW now, and is doing phenomenally better for it, it's still dealing with the bullshit hand that CBS dealt it right out of the gate.

Vietnamwees posted:Just caught Part 2 of the Crossover event on The Flash. Boy, they really made up for shoving the crossover stuff at the end of Supergirl by assembling the entire Crossover team before the first commercial break on The Flash. Lot of stuff going on from the Flashpoint Paradox though, but I guess that's to be expected. That whole episode was just  encapsulated on screen for an hour. Especially the fight between Barry and Kara at the end.

Here's hoping Kevin Smith directs an episode of Arrow next year and uses his clout to rescue Harley Quinn from the clutches of DC corporate. I mean, they're letting her show up on Gotham, why can't the Arrowverse have her back too? Also yeah, this episode was just great all over and I can't wait for that musical crossover now.

He's got the original (as in Action Comics #1) Superman power set: super strong and super fast, but no flight (or other bullshit Silver Age powers), plus a deathly allergy to lead. He's flat out stronger than James, but at least James can get shot and keep fighting.

DoctorWhat posted:what the gently caress is this post I legit don't know Like yeah, Kara has generally been a Barry Allen-level shitbag to most of the people around her post-Invasion crossover, but that's just been spots of crappy writing on a show that is otherwise stellar so far this year. If anything Kara hilariously shooting down every male that's made a pass at her this year is more about her being a strong, independent feminist character who doesn't need any romantic involvements to function as a person.

That seemed to be what they were going for, especially with James acting as an ad hoc DEO agent most of this episode. The thing that stuck out to me though was that I thought Maggie already knew and/or didn't care that he was Guardian. Why did Alex tell him not to tell her? Because she'd arrest him on sight?

Tree Dude posted:I was bothered that her complete disregard of the available evidence was painted as a positive. Like, the only way I could see Kara being actually in the right there instead of being in the right because she's the main character and the show's reality bending to prove her right is if Lena had been a major character and friends with Kara since early season 1 and her alleged actions with regard to her mother were completely and obviously out of character for her. Otherwise it's a case of "dude, you've only known her for three months, how can you be sure what's really going on here?"
