Flash is great except when they try to lean into the drama. The cast all plays very well off each other when things are happy or even when they're heartfelt, Joe has some great Dad moments and everybody else can feel like they actually care about the people around them, but when they try to take that extra step into Hidden Secrets and Broken Trust and all the stuff that Arrow can play with pretty well I don't think a single character hasn't completely fallen flat on their face. Unfortunately S3 had a lot of that leaning after sticking a countdown timer over Iris's head.

The thing about Hidden Secrets and Broken Trust and Sordid Romantic Issues on TV shows is that...they're easy to produce. They're cheap. All you need is to get two of your actors standing in one room or another -- maybe at one point they're sitting down, maybe one of them leans against something periodically -- and have them make sad-sounding mouth noises for five minutes. And then one of them leaves the room. Maybe they're angry. Maybe they're not. You don't need no CGI. No special costumes. Not a lot of staging. That's why this sort of thing, frankly, comprises the majority of most TV shows. Even more prestigious ones.

That premiere was incredibly frenetic, and had no time to breath at all. That said, Blackthorne knocked it out of the park.

Aphrodite posted:I don't watch Legends because it's garbage but a guy in the TV thread seemed to think the premiere was insanely bad. It's basically a dumping ground for the C list cast members from the other shows to have a blast and gently caress around. Almost nothing on the show truly seems serious and half the time the Legends are the ones loving everything up for the rest of the world.

Then you can pad the running time with footage of them riding motorcycles. It'll be great Guy Goodbody fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Oct 14, 2017 |

And if the bad guys also have motorcycles, then you can have every fight be two stages, first they fight on the motorcycles and then they have the regular fight in a warehouse.

There’s an argument to be made for separation of powers. One or the other is fine, but being both is a bit much. I can’t help but feel that the end game here is to get Quentin behind the mayor’s desk.

I kind of think something will happen to reset the status quo ("this was digitally altered yup no need to check this story whatsoever I'm the mayor"), because otherwise basically everyone associated with Oliver gets investigated and outed and Arrow's pretty cognizant of plot points like that.

I know the Green Arrow eventually got cleared for the Prometheus stuff but did they ever say if he got his "legal vigilante" status reinstated? Thinking about the identity stuff, it still kind of bugs me that anyone in the public would believe that the Arrow and Green Arrow are different people. Oliver made absolutely no changes to how her operates and his costume is almost identical.

They reduce Thea's appearances each season to save money. Thea's character is pretty much wrapped now, but they don't want to kill her because she's Oliver's last family member left. But she's more expensive than a guest because she's been a regular since season 1. As far as excuses go coma is pretty good. You don't have any "Oliver really should call Thea for this" moments like we did last season.

after ollie "stayed up all night" and "solved guns", coming up with legislation on it that everyone agreed with and was effective at decreasing gun violence, that for some reason he didn't describe and couldn't even announce while keeping a straight face. i can't wait to see what is in store for his political career maybe he'll take a weekend and solve climate change, or racism, but in such a way that it doesn't actually stop or upset climate change denialists or racists in case there are any watching

Felicity showing up in costume for like five seconds during Doomworld on Legends and getting absolutely wrecked was their concession to that second point. Basically “there, Felicity got a costume, are you happy now?”

Well given how the thought process was "People will get too confused by characters with the same name" being the reason Arrow had to kill Deadpool maybe someone up high finally realized that anyone going to see a big blockbuster comic book movie is smart enough to know the difference between TV and movies.
