I'm running out of good stuff to watch and Harley can't come fast enough. After Life, on Netflix, with Ricky Gervais, is quite weird and uplifting and dark and sad and funny, much like its predecessor Derek. The Last Kids On Earth, on Netflix, is alright as pretty mindless nonsense to watch and not really pay attention to. I quite liked Daybreak. Daybreak is to Omega Man as Todd and the Book of Pure Evil is to Army of Darkness. Vagrant Queen on sci-fi is like a pale awful shadow of Killjoys, Farscape and Blake's 7, but I'm still watching it.

It is an uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly show.

I didn't know his real name before but referring to Kite Man as "Chuck" is perhaps the least surprising thing this show has ever done.

BlackIronHeart posted:Kite Man's full name is, I'm pretty sure, Charles Brown so Chuck is way better than Charlie. Isn't his alter ego also based mostly on Schultz' Peanuts character by the same name, who is also strongly associated with flying kites (and getting them stuck in trees)? Also, OF COURSE Kite Man's nemesis is another of DC's many throwaway joke characters. Also, I love the fact that they put a character making themed puns in this episode featuring a good iteration of mr. Freeze, since themed puns is one of the most prominent and annoying features of the worst iteration (except apparently the new 52 one i wasn't aware of). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkTHtWX7CCY

I still think Batman beating Mr. Freeze with a can of soup is a little too silly. But, as the article said, it is a show about a man dressed as a bat fighting a man in a robotic refrigerator suit.

Lechtansi posted:What else is everyone watching? I'm running out of good stuff to watch and Harley can't come fast enough. I've been getting my animated DC fix by binge-watching Young Justice from the beginning, since I never watched it when it aired. It sorta scratches the same itch because you get some weird one-off appearances (last one I watched had Blue Devil in it, when does he ever show up in something?), and also the team is pretty flawed. Superboy's a hot-headed jerk, Robin's kinda douchey, Wally barely listens to what anyone says, everyone's got a bad case of the hormones and get snippy with one another... it pretty accurately captures what teens are like. They aren't totally invincible and noble, it's kinda down-to-earth as far as superhero team-ups go. Pretty weird seeing an episode tonight with Ivy in it where she's balls out evil, after getting into her reading Gotham City Sirens and then this show. Also, the Joker really sucks, just warning you. The look, the lines, and the voice acting (and I like Brent Spiner, he just was not a good fit), he's just terrible. And Black Adam taking orders from Count Vertigo of all people? Psssh, yeah, right. But it's been addictive and fun.

This might come off as a bit of an odd recommendation, but if you've enjoyed the Harley Quinn show and you're looking for something to fill the void between episodes consider watching The Willoughbys movie on Netflix. Harley Quinn is a show for adults, and The Willoughbys is intended for a younger audience, but both deal with themes of escaping abusive situations, both have a lot of good dark humor, and I enjoyed both of them a lot so maybe you will too.

Watching this reminds me of why the marvel movies are so good and the DC movies suck. at the end of the day, we watch them for the relationships. And the banter is FUNNY. like, when was the last time someone said something funny in a DCEU movie besides flash? Like, I could watch ivy and frank all day. Same with Clayface and King Shark. I mean, poo poo even the conversation in the scene where Syborg and his ex are trying to cremate the crew is hilarious. DC had better throw as much money as possible at the creators to keep this going for another few seasons.

Legends of Tomorrow has some good relationship stuff, as well as being ridiculously funny. Gotham was pretty good with that too, once it hit its stride. Seems like they pour all that energy into TV rather than films, and I'm alright with that; I'd rather get some free fun out of Supergirl and LoT every week than a couple hours of fun for $12 every summer. Sucks that the films are generally disappointing compared to Marvel's, but DC's TV game has been fairly drat solid, imo. (With the exception of Batwoman, which I'm getting to Smallville-levels of hate-watching at this point.)

Season six was just released, and the rest are good too. It stars Titus Welliver. Each season has 10 well-paced episodes and an overarching plot. itry fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Apr 29, 2020 |

I tried really hard to like Gotham, but I got really tired of it the third time they went “surprise! That characters not actually dead” and I finally turned it off by the 10th time it happened.

I checked Gotham out when it was just released, and it was just boring to me. Also the things I read about Ivy in that show made me cringe. I also don't like Legends, Shield, Flash, post S1 (and some of S2) Arrow, Supergirl, or Batwoman.

Agents of Shield's biggest problem was that it set up the big plot twist too well - it hid it's true nature by hiding itself behind kind of generic archetypes that it intended to blow up on the Hydra reveal which is where it got good, but it disguised itself too well and bored too many people before it got weird and fun.

Yeah, they were constrained by having to coordinate with the movieverse.

There's no justifying it, those eps were extremely bland and certainly not enough to hook anyone. But I can't fault the showrunners for hiding it too well, as they were literally forbidden from doing so much as foreshadowing it. I mean, now you can see some hints of foreshadowing, but only retroactively. Nothing that would stand out during a first watch.

You can kind of imagine that for shows like this and Gotham it wouldn't matter as much, because they'd just look at all the other DC characters and just go "Well, we have 600 other people to use, who cares if we can't use Batman or Superman? Have Harley get in a slapfight with Blue Beetle, and we're good." That's basically what happened with Legends of Tomorrow - they got the scraps, the characters that the other shows couldn't think of plots for, and just decided "gently caress it, let's have fun!"

We've definitely left the days of the Bat-embargo, but there's still some weird limits that happen. Some of it is because of dumb legal stuff. quote:The Wonder Woman embargo: Bruce Timm on DrawingBoard.org posted:I think (Nemesis) was on a list of 'rights-available' guys that DC gave to us. And he is a unique 'type,' so we said, 'What the hell, put him in the show, we need bodies.' I would much rather have had Phantom Stranger, Spectre, Blue Beetle, etc, but they were off-limits for whatever reason. https://dcau.fandom.com/wiki/Bat-embargo
