I kinda gave up on Shield after episode 3 but I'll probably go crawling back once I've run out of poo poo to watch(Misfits just ended forever/til there's an American version)

Speaking of which...

the actor who plays Rudy is basically perfect, hell, Rudy is basically how I always imagined Cass to be.

Which part of the internet do I report to in order to start up this campaign? Cause let me tell you, I've never been more emotionally invested in a bullshit fan casting than this right here. I've been championing Joseph Gilgun for Cassidy since I read Preacher 2 years ago(I know I know) and I desperately need to express to the people involved with the pilot what a great idea it is.

Twitter maybe? I've never been.

I feel like we should have heard something about the Preacher pilot by now. Like at least casting rumors or something, wasn't it announced before Daredevil?

I really did think he was doing great doing the first two seasons, but I think his recent performance has been one of many things weighing this season of Arrow down. I realized it when he was doing one of his Facebook Q&A things, and someone asked "What was the most challenging scene in the Flash two-part crossover?" and his answer was "Hmm, uhh.... I guess I can't really think of anything, nope there was nothing that I really had to put any special effort into." Kind of says it all.

Afterwards I started looking for it's pretty obvious just how often he just stands there without any emotion at all these days. Other actors are doing scenes with him, trying to emote off him, and he just stands there like a blank wall and kind of puts a wet blanket over everything. Like, watch Roy's confession scenes with him and you may see what I mean.

I'd imagine it's probably not even his fault, but the director's. He's so new, I don't think he can do the heavy lifting to support the scene all by himself like say Barrowman probably can. It makes me wonder if Flash is siphoning resources - like directors - away from the Arrow team. Does anyone know, off-hand?

He may have simply had the wind knocked out of his sails with the news that the DC movie universe wouldn't overlap with the TV stuff. I know he was gunning for it.

Anyone who's worried about the "why does the guy who goes to Magic Asia to get Kung Fu have to be Asian?" backlash should be reminded that this show follows the one about the black guy who goes to prison to get bulletproof.

I think the best possible outcome is to make Daniel San half white/full blown American who's Asian dad has a midlife crisis and goes searching for his heritage, that way you get fish out of water in K'un Lun(which I think they should make a little more multi ethnic anyway, why not sprinkle some Sikhs and Zulus in there) plus you can play off everyone's expectations assumptions like him knowing martial arts/Chinese because he's Asian. Then when he becomes a hero, have Luke Cage point out the cliche for laughs, owning it.

Also we can still have Randall as White Fist 1915

I imagine they mean "darker" and more "grounded" like the original run of the comic, which was still hilarious and ridiculous.

No but we did need an argument for "So if it's that easy for Barry to time travel, why doesn't he just do it all the time?"

Yeah I don't know, he already let his mom die for the sake of the time, "because it'll gently caress everything up" is more satisfying to me than "tonally out of place deus ex machina". Ultimately I can't be mad solely for the potential of more Pied Piper

... looks like the road trip aspect of the comic has been removed, so we've got a season of Jesse being around lovely rednecks being sweaty in a dusty town. :jerkoff:

It's the smart move though, they've got six episodes to lure in middle America before they drop the "God's a dick and I'm gonna make him answer for it" bomb (you know, the reason we all thought it would never get adapted?)

I loved the pilot, I don't understand what everyone's problem is.

The show runners have said they're basically stretching out the first couple panels and giving us a season of introduction to the characters and concepts which the comic just dives into.

I think it's smart and this last episode was the first one I felt was treading water. Though it looks like they may have foreshadowed the town/church dying which I was afraid they wouldn't do since he already has the word.

When did Rogen say anything about comic accuracy? The only thing I read was about how it was gonna be totally different so fans of the comic would still be surprised.
I find it absolutely absurd that people like Lucifer but think Preacher is a bad show. I think it's time to change the thread title to Comic Book Television Complaint Thread because no one seems to have anything positive to say.

Frank shouldn't get with anyone not named Kathryn O'Brien

I want Barracuda so bad it hurts but for that you need baby Sarah and for that you need Kathryn and for that you need a long period of Frank being alone.

So basically I hope Terry Crews plays Barracuda in season 8 of the Punisher.

Every iteration of the Tick has been great in it's own way and different enough while maintaining the spirit of the Tick. It kinda reminds me of the Hitchhiker's Guide in that way.

Looking at that New Warriors casting call... was Debrii gay in the Skottie Young book? No issue if not, just wondering if this is Freeform adding diversity or using existing elements to get there.

I don't think it came up in her original New Warriors run mostly because it was short and she was only in like half of it. Maybe it's mentioned during the Initiative or something.

Aphrodite posted:

Runaways is already a relationship drama filled YA book so it's not like they can CW-ify it much more.

They could ignore my favorite character beats because "it just wouldn't work for a TV show". When I think of CW-ifying something it's more than just focusing on relationship drama too much it's a lower budget and lazy sets/dialog/direction/cinematography/etc. I like the CW shows enough and I commend them for their efforts in creating their own comic book corner in tv land but some stories deserve a little more effort.
Marvel's YA TV is looking more artfully shot at least, so that's a start.
