If Kryptonians are such ballers under a yellow sun why didn't they all leave for planets with yellow suns centuries ago?

Depending on the story, lots of them did.

Over the years there have been many different reasons why Kryptonians never travelled, like they would get sick if they left or they were extremely xenophobic and didn't want to have anything to do with alien races.

Sometimes it's as simple as super tight emigration controls, sometimes Superman is modified by his parents somehow, or growing up under a yellow sun as a baby acclimates him in a way adult Kryptonians aren't. Man of Steel did a variation on the latter. Sometimes they just didn't know that yellow suns would make them kick rear end.

Have they said how they're going to bring Supergirl into the Earth-1 universe? I'm catching up on season 1 now, but I'm sure there's nothing about it in there.

Not only have they established that Flash can run between dimensions, Wells can relatively easily build machines to go back and forthm, and Rip Hunter has a spaceship capable of it but Cisco's actual super powers include opening portals to other dimensions. So there's really no hurdle or need in connecting Supergirl's world to Flash/Arrow's. It's more a question of finding a reason for them all to crossover with a mutual threat. But even there you could just have Supergirl's fly too fast and crash through dimensions like how Flash ended up in hers. Or a villain who can jump around, which we've already seen in Zoom and arguably Savage.

Honestly I like that Kara and Clark are off in their universe. It cuts down on the "Why doesn't Ollie call up Supergirl to deal with rogue nuclear missiles?  " complaints.

I've always wanted, for example, Steve Rodgers to try calling Tony Stark in a movie but for Tony to not answer. Then in the next Iron Man movie while in the heat of battle have Jarvis or whatever his ai is called these days say "incoming call from Steve Rodgers" and Tony yells "a little busy right now Jarvis!" Just to show that sometimes they might be dealing with poo poo of their own at the same time and give anyone who complains about them not always teaming up a plausible explanation.

mastajake posted:I love how nonsensical the heat vision in the mirror thing is. Since eyes are light receptors, not projectors the concept of radiant heat vision is nonsensical from the start. Or maybe Kryptonians can also project sound waves out of their ears and use their tongues to instill flavours into food.  All that aside, this season looks promising.

Binary Logic posted:"Heat vision" should be the ability to see heat. My understanding of how he got heat vision was that it kind of branched off from super vision. A writer goes "he can see through stuff with x-ray vision," someone else says "actually, he needs to be able to project x-rays from his eyes for that to work" which turns into "he can heat stuff up by shooting x-ray vision at it" and ends up with "he can shoot heat rays out of his eyes."

FactsAreUseless posted:When done well, the explanation is that there are so many threats to Earth and its citizens at any given time that everyone handles things at different levels. Superman can't help you take down the Riddler, even if a bomb is going to kill orphans, because Granny Goodness just sent an army to blow up Earth because Wonder Woman rejected Darkseid again. Batman is just territorial. He doesn't need help, stay out of Gotham.

One of the best episodes was when the Justice League fought a wizard who was summoning an army of demons, but all that happened off screen. The episode was actually about some random low-level superhero who had been put on crowd control duty during the wizard battle and discovered that a scientist had accidentally unleashed a miniature black hole that was going to swallow the city. That's what I'm hoping for from the crossover, each hero deals with their own part of the Dominator invasion, and it ends with each of them thinking they saved the world Guy Goodbody fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Sep 30, 2016 |
