ToastyPotato posted:Not only that, but there is a CNN clip of a congressman or senator talking about super powered vigilantes or some such thing during that montage, so that is official government acknowledgement of the event. If the show is really going to try to play off that everything has been covered up, that is some horrible bullshit. There were Avengers action figures in a storefront in the first episode and talk between Maria Hill and Coulson of the world having changed after New York blew the lid on aliens from other dimensions tearing up Manhattan, I don't see how they could be going down that track. It seems more to me that they want to either cover things that haven't yet become public or put them on damage control, so people think that crazy movie-level events are rare spectacles and not close to becoming commonplace.

For over a decade I have wished for a parallel television series to run with one of the comic book movies and develop the world alongside them, even act as a breeding ground for properties that probably couldn't support a film by themselves. It's so awesome that Marvel's not only doing that but taking the idea even further, meanwhile DC is floundering to get more than one successful movie or television property on the screen in the same year

Mr. Maltose posted:Ripping off Kirkman would be one way of ending a season, yeah. Ripping off Kirkman? That was a shock twist in an original Star Trek episode. And that writer probably lifted it from something he read in a pulp scifi rag in the 40s. The real twist would be something like: Coulson gets shot, rack zoom on the wound aaaaand it's bleeding! Someone goes "oh crap, he's human after all. That's a little disappointing..." Then suddenly the blood turns green and Coulson morphs into a SKRULL! *dun dun dunnnnnnnn* I'm so loving clev Prison Warden posted:He loves you. goddamnit

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:I can see the concept working out if Gotham were a one season show. But then it would feel like a prologue of sorts, maybe setting the groundwork for Bat-Affleck saga? This would work in the same universe where Smallville was a four-season show that transitioned to Metropolis and a full-fledged Superman. I wish I lived in that universe.

Gaz-L posted:And the whole 'no tights, no flights' was the biggest anvil around Smallville's neck after like season 3. At some point, they needed to bite the bullet, and either the showrunners, Welling or a combination of the two, wouldn't take the leap. "No tights no flights" came straight from the producers themselves, they thought it was a good idea. And Welling was adamant for no-tights all the loving way up to the very last scene of the damned series, which is why the very closest we ever got to him in the costume was the shirt-pull in said last scene. Smallville was born of a demon seed. McSpanky fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Jan 14, 2014 |

Syrg Sapphire posted:I did not see someone mention the best part of this: you briefly see "Superman" on-screen pushing away Apokolips (NO SERIOUSLY, DARKSEID) in the costume. Oh yeah, there were a couple of blurry red-blue superspeed smudges/super-distant dots that were supposed to be full-costume Superman, the CGI model as you said. They really went all-out there to pay off after a literal decade of teasing. Lurdiak posted:Wow, that was really Jor-El? I only caught a little bit of that (the episode where Jor-El puts a thing inside Clark that literally MAKES HIM EVIL) and I kinda just assumed it was Zod or some other evil Kryptonian posing as Jor-El just to be a convenient source of lovely manufactured drama for a season or two. The first season or so of Jor-El interactions, it seemed they really wanted to make him genuinely antagonistic if not outright evil. WHAT A TWEEST! Then they pulled a big 180 and were like "SIKE! I was just testing you to make sure you didn't become corrupt with power or something, I actually really love you... but I'll still be a huge dick from time to time for no reason  "

I love how thick and heavy it looks, like he's wearing an entire tac squad's worth of armor and gear. It's something that only a serum-enhanced supersoldier could wear and still move so quickly in.

Kellsterik posted:I think the casual viewer would be perfectly okay stopping at "he's really fast, got it." Going too far beyond that also gets us goofy poo poo like John Byrne's "it's really all subtle telekinesis!" for Superman's powers, too. The Speed Force is the ultimate  of comics and about as impenetrable to non-hypernerds.

Alhazred posted:Not really. Certainly not as interesting as a glimpse of Zatanna would've been. I'd say it's potentially interesting, considering Fate's power level and pedigree in the world of costumed superheroics. I'll be considerably more interested if this becomes the groundwork for a broader universe and not just an easter egg for comic nerds in the pilot.

I think it actually takes a fair bit of talent to be capable of "phoning it in", which implies that you aren't trying that hard in the first place. Plenty of bad actors are clearly giving it their all and simply coming up short; now Spader in The Blacklist, that's phoning it in.

All they needed on Flash was some kind of deadman's switch type thing linked to the bomb under Caitlyn's chair to force the cops to back off and make the Flash fight on their terms... and to not be dumb enough to put the backup plan explosive on a freaking timer.

zoux posted:Oh yeah I see. I loved that scene with Wesley and Leland in the limo where Leland says "Why don't we just kill Healy?" Wesley explains that they've been dropping a lot of bodies lately and bodies leave a trail that leads to the killers, and even an organization as big as theirs can't consistently shut down every single investigation or keep every inquiry suppressed. It's a twisted counterpart to Matt's moral dilemma with beginning to kill, a sort of criminal ethical dilemma of when to stop killing. Both of them involve letting the immediate passion for their causes override the rational consideration for the future, and in the end Matt resists temptation and achieves his goals while Fisk's failure to rein himself in causes his downfall.
