On Arrow anyone they lock up is actually under the legitimate authority of the actual police. Except Andy.

Well, they're doing an episode called Flashpoint, at least.

95% of Flashpoint is characters they can't use.

Barry wouldn't be an anime fan, he's into incest, not pedophilia.

Those are 2 different distinct mental illnesses.

There was no toonami, Barry went back in time and stopped it. Did you even pay attention?

Of course. Flashpoint means more, more, more.

If they don't use Flashpoint as an excuse to do an alternate Thawne and alternate Zoom I will eat a piece of bread folded somewhat into the shape of a hat.

I'd love shorter seasons or half-seasons that tell complete, self-contained stories. The tightness and efficiency of storytelling in HBO, FX, and AMC shows has totally spoiled me.

That has nothing to do with length and everything to do with talent.

Look at Marvel Netflix. Short seasons there too, but they still blew it 3 times now.

Aphrodite

They all have terrible pacing.

My point was that a mediocre writer with a smaller season order is just going to gently caress up a short season, not magically turn in something tight.

Aphrodite

Also Sherlock does 3 episode seasons and it's unmitigated garbage so again, episode counts aren't magic.

The look is apparently very similar to the New 52 Black Racer, who is the speedforce personification of death.

It turns out it's the look of Barry merging with the Black Racer, so it's actually both kind of.

That's not why the season of the Flash sucked though.

Barry was still unbelievably stupid, but Zoom was entertaining when he was unmasked. A good villain (or one at all since Zoom barely did anything) was a big part of what was missing.

I'm more irritated by this:


Like since when? Is this a new 52 thing? The Rogues were kind of always generally together in the Silver Age but there was no specific relationship between Top and MM.

I don't care that Top is a woman, but I hope they don't just stick to the "makes people dizzy" thing and make her at least someone representative of the comic Top who does some insanely crazy poo poo.

Or not because The Top sucks.

Geoff Johns is basically his boss too, so you know that's some hardcore shipping.

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

But really the reason for that is that Black Canary is her own character with her own stories, while Iris isn't. So everything between her and Barry is usually perfect and fine until a villain needs a bargaining chip.

Of all the things I don't care about, "Which of Barry's dumb love interests is going to pan out?" is the thing I don't care about the most.

I would ask "Who cares?" but it's plainly obvious that some people care a great deal for reasons I absolutely cannot fathom. loving time remnants make more sense to me than getting this invested in the poorly written relationships of fictional characters.

It's even worse than will they/won't they since they had numerous time travel things showing yes. So it's just filling time in that case.

Yes, but they said they may work an original in.
