Gaz-L posted:There has apparently been some talk of a pseudo-Birds of Prey episode, which I assume would slot Felicity into Barbara's role from the comic. (Although it ruins the blonde/brunette/redhead gimmick) I actually watched that entire series, and as bad as it was it had a certain charm. I attribute that totally to the actresses playing Harlene Quinzel and Barbara Gordon.

Deadpool posted:I actually like Roy quite a bit and wish he would they would start giving him a bigger part to play in all this. That's really my only complaint with the show. I know it'll be coming sooner rather than later, but I'm ready to go ahead and bring him into the team now. I like the thing they're doing with Oliver ad Roy. Ollie has the training and experience, but not the passion (he has drive as of the end of 2x01, but he's not doing it because he WANTS to do it, he's doing it because it needs to be done). Roy has the passion, but no training (as evidenced by him getting the poo poo kicked out of himself constantly). I'm not sure if the idea of his introduction to the team is as a sort of catalyst to get Ollie to move past 'needs to be done' and 'wants to do' is a good thing, though, but I suspect that's where they're headed.

It looked like Ollie ended up stabbing Malcolm in roughly the same place (through the shoulder) since Malcolm was right up behind him. Oh well, I guess I'll have to force myself to rewatch Arrow to get another look.

 The whole first scene with Ollie-as-Hood and Laurel in her office I was waiting for him to drop his hood and let her in (because this show is insane like that) but NOPE. Then we get a second scene like this, and I'm like "Yup, we're going there". NOPE. What the gently caress, Laurel? Also, what the HELL is up with mutant skull japanese skeletons on the island?

XboxPants posted:I also wouldn't be surprised to see a massive tone down of his speed. Even if he was just fast enough to dodge a bullet, it'd be enough to make for a very interesting character & story. Hell, even if he was just, like, five or ten times as fast as a normal dude it'd be enough, really - you don't need to be able to dodge bullets if you can just move out of the way as soon as they point a gun at you. I wonder if they'll play up the metabolism angle like I vaguely remember them doing in the 90s show. Flash was always eating something, if he wasn't eating he was hungry.

Holy gently caress this show. I can't believe we're actually getting a comic book show that is not only honestly rad as gently caress, but the plot moves at loving Nikita levels of hyperspeed. I want more Zelenka. And I want to know what that green poo poo was (IIRC Vertigo was more yellowish). And holy gently caress EVERYTHING connected to Canary. e: Random speculation - when Ollie confronts her about her coming back, she cites the earthquake, but then OLLIE makes the jump to her protecting her family. She never confirms it. What if Blood is working for Ras or something and she's really there now to prevent the League of Shadows from coming in and taking over Starling or something similar?

zoux posted:The scary pirate captain asked Ollie if he noticed if the skeletons he found were malformed in some way, I wonder if that is somehow related to the serum that Bro Blood is using? Also, it might just be me but IMO Amell is amazing in this show. He manages to pull off 'emotionally dead inside survivor scared to begin living again' in one scene and as soon as it goes to the island he's instantly 'spoiled rich kid trying to hide behind tough facade'. And that was just back in the first season. The scene in this last episode where he's trying to keep information from the captain but the captain is just "This is the right island  " is just amazing.And just look at him when he's talking to Canary in the hospital.

I'm a little behind in the thread, but the only way I can see that Hourman show working is if it was something like the adaptation of Steven King's Dead Zone show that ran for a while with Anthony Michael Hall. More of a suspense/drama thing as he tries to figure out how to change the future to fix things each episode, instead of an all-out superhero action type thing.

Aphrodite posted:My dilemma with Sara as Black Canary is that I don't like anything about her backstory. The assassin thing, who she was before the accident, and her motivations. Ollie was a douche, but she was worse. That was her sister's boyfriend. I'm not sure I agree. I think she serves as a very good contrast to Ollie. Ollie ends up on the island where he is basically taken in by that asian guy I can't remember the name of right now, Slade and Shado. It's not a picnic for him by any means but at least he has a couple people who are on his side. Sara, on the other hand, is picked up, thrown into a cell, and it's heavily implied she was about to become the ship's toy until Ivo stopped it. Sara didn't get any support, and I think that we'll find out that while Ollie's experience on the island was tempered by having Slade and Shado around, Sara had none of that and had to turn to more extreme choices to survive.

e X posted:They already burned half his face and he is on the Amazo, so maybe Ivo even give him his comic style enhanced healing factor by experimenting a little on him. Slade goes nuts on the Amazo, slices up Sara. Ollie mercy kills her, then Ras dips her in a lazarus pit. It's just like a comic plot guys! (Am I imagining a line earlier in the show that implies to the viewer that Ollie didn't just think Sara was dead, but that he knew it because he killed her? Or was that just speculation in here?)

MrFlibble posted:(this latest episode she says it wouldn't be her first funeral) That line was pretty ambiguous. It doesn't necessarily mean she literally died, just that everyone thought she was dead. You've got a point with the thing about Ollie being sure they'd never forgive him; I wonder if the big secret Moira was willing to spend life in prison to hide was supposed to be a similar thing.

Rarity posted:Do people who have rewatched the early episodes think that Amell needed to grow into the role or that his stiffness was an acting choice? I haven't gone back to watch the first season but I always took it as a deliberate acting thing - season 1 Ollie, although we're just seeing it now, was worn down to where he was barely 'human'. He basically had to learn how to engage with his family and society in general all over again. His acting was wooden because he was trying to convince everyone he was just an everyday joe but he basically no longer knew/remembered how to be anything but a survivor.

Spergatory posted:So it sounds like the Flash's powers will be almost as dangerous to him as they are to his enemies, at least in the beginning. I like the sound of that. One, it means we are definitely not getting near-omnipotent!Flash any time soon. And two, it's not really something I've seen before. Movies and shows like this rarely explore the potential downsides of superpowers. It's all fun and games until you accidentally start a housefire with laser-vision. In the Flash show from the 90s I remember he was constantly eating because of his crazy metabolism (which I guess is a departure from comics? I don't think you're burning carbs with the Speed Force) and IIRC there was an episode or two where his powers were hosed up and causing him issues. I also distinctly remember them showing that he was fast enough to catch a bullet out of the air but it hosed up his hand/palm doing it, and I thought that was a nice touch. That suit, though. Oh god, the injection-molded muscles...
