Good Lord they really are determined to ride this Inhumans train just out of spite. It's like "oh, you're making a movie with mutants getting good buzz (Logan, in this case)? well, guess what, we were already doing something even better with Inhumans!" Nobody cares about Inhumans.

How can MCU movies be so much better than DC movies but for the TV shows it is the opposite? DC shows go comic-booky and even silly, while MCU shows hit the dark, gritty, realistic button.

Watching Legends of Tomorrow I am reminded of how good a Superman Brandon Routh was and could be. He is perfect to be the new Christoper Reeve, but I guess he wasn't serious enough. Ray Palmer is 100% Clark Kent; it's uncanny. Yeah, Superman Returns wasn't great, but it had an great Superman and an amazing Lex (a Lex who was consistent with the one from Superman I and II). Also, I do like AoS. It has fantastic and consistent writing and the action sequences have gotten so good, but I hate the fact that Disney / ABC doesn't seem to like it. The CW has super hero shows on four nights a week now. ABC acts like they can't even spare one slot. Agent Carter was the weaker show but the Carter character is great. I'm sure Hayley Atwell enjoys stretching her acting muscles as the star of Conviction, but I miss her as Carter. Plus the period costuming was beautifully done. Just have a Jarvis and Carter half hour show of them solving mysteries or something. They had remarkable chemistry.

Oh, wait, this show's still on? I almost forgot. Why do they hate their own show so much? The book should have been in at least hex, but only 2% of the audience would get that. Binary is something the other 98% understand and know that binary = computer talk. That's all. It was a necessary visual metaphor or the audience wouldn't have understood. I actually worried about this while trying to fall asleep last night. Man, the book would have been so inefficient in binary. Maybe if she re-reads the pages it updates? Hex or even a binary dump to text would have been better. But the audience wouldn't know what that is. How many people open up a .exe file in a text editor in purpose or run a hex editor or look at network packets? Everybody knows what binary is even if they can't read it. Who cares? Go to sleep! <<< Nerd.

BSam posted:Who are these trolls, LoT is as brilliant as every other comic book show. (Which is very brilliant before anyone says anything) How is Eobard alive? Eddie killed himself and erased Eobard from the timeline. The only stuff Eobard could do was the stuff he already did. This is obviously new stuff since he is changing history. That's not possible. They are breaking their own rules. Also, time wraiths murdered Zoom because he... what? Made a time remnant and kept him around? Barry's done far more damage the time wraiths haven't murdered him. Why are the time wraiths letting Eobard potentially alter time in massive ways (like nuking New York). Are the time wraiths banking on the League of Extraordinary Idiots to clean up so they don't have to? Do they, as non-speedsters, have to worry about time wraiths? If not, why didn't The Vanishing Point get wiped out by time wraiths long ago since the Time But, how is Eobard alive? That's the big one. I still watch them. But they do have issues. Also, Barry is the dumbest one of all and he's supposed to be the smart one.

RareAcumen posted:Should I watch Flash season 3? I kinda just laid on the floor as I went through season 2 and I'm not able to work up the drive to get back into it since they did Flashpoint for no apparent reason. To magically introduce new metas who weren't caused by the accelerator explosion. That's it pretty much. Edit: that reminds me. Why isn't Eobard's life messed up from all the time changes he's made? Barry's life got hosed and he created an alternate timeline / universe that is bleeding over into his own in hosed up ways. People dying, people turning evil. Eoboard's just hunky dory. Also, the LoT folks are messing up time all over the place. Why isn't their future / present messed up? I mean, Professor what's-his-name has a daughter now; that's awesome. Why didn't it end up that his wife died in a plane crash or something? Why didn't Sarah end up staying dead or losing her soul for good? The only guy who got hosed was Captain Hunter. That showed the thing that "time tries to correct itself" was definitely in affect. But where is the punishment? Barry ended up with a terrible partner who hated him, an Iris that hated her dad, his friend's brother being killed, Caitlyn Snow slowly turning into Killer Frost for reasons I still don't understand, changing baby Sarah into baby John, Jr., and apparently now Laurel is coming back from the dead? They gave her an amazing send-off and now this? Flashpoint was a poo poo idea for dumb idiots. I told my wife all the ways I hate resetting timelines being used as get-out-of-jail free card and all the ways that could make this stupid. It's a crutch for people who wrote themselves into a corner. It's still dumb and Barry and Iris still have no chemistry. Barry has more chemistry with Julian, the guy he hated. I'm sure someone is already shipping them. Aleph Null fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Dec 30, 2016 |

Edit: flosofl posted:The only other show that did that for me was Person of Interest. It also started kind of "eh, another CBS procedural". Then it dropped a HUGE WTF Bomb around episode 6 or 7 and vaulted into some of the best TV I've ever seen. We are watching Person of Interest right now. Just made it to S4 last week. So far, this season has provided more character growth and depth in the first six episodes than the previous three seasons combined. It's gone from good and interesting to amazing and thought provoking. Edit2: how in the heck did I double post? Sorry.

Looks like Haley Atwell's new show isn't getting renewed. ABC gave Conviction 13 episodes and that seems to be it. Sad. It wasn't a bad show for a procedural. The cast was full of complex and well rounded characters. I'm on my phone or I'd link the article I read.

I like that Aida still behaves like a machine because she was built from scratch, but the May and Radcliffe LMDs behave like human beings because they are based on brain scans that were tweaked after-the-fact. Although, does this Aida Mark II have a quantum magic brain or not?

STAC Goat posted:My assumption is that this Aida has a brain, which is why she's seemed to conflict with Radcliffe so much and "think for herself", while the "older model" with no brain was the one SHIELD burned. That's the way I'm leaning, too. Means Aida II could straight up turn on Radcliffe at some point, but original Aida would be loyal to the end (which she totally did by lying and incriminating herself during her monologue when she tried to steal the Darkholde).

I still think that Radcliffe will get the idea to download the real woman's mind into Aida's body and that he will try to do it without telling Aida. So, she'll find out and turn on Radcliffe in the end.

STAC Goat posted:My guess for Aida/Radcliffe is that instead of Radcliffe trying to turn Aida into Agnes it goes the other way. Aida tries to "be" Agnes and take her place with Radcliffe. Whether Radcliffe gives into this or is disgusted by it its where the power dynamic between them flips. But just a guess. This makes more sense. Radcliffe isn't that sentimental and seems to still see Aida as a thing not a person. Everybody talking about sexbot stuff is projecting pretty hard. Radcliffe has never been shown to have anything other than clinical interest in Aida. If they did spring that, it'd be out of nowhere and this show doesn't do that. quote:I mean, sometimes beautiful young women date older men, especially if they're both in the same field and respect each other as peers or something. But yeah, Mallory had to be playing a little older for it to make sense with them being estranged for awhile unless Radcliffe is just a creeper professor who bangs coeds. It can't be that long. She has terminal, inoperable brain cancer.

STAC Goat posted:There weren't "anti inhuman crystals." They were just the leftover crystals Radcliffe had from his work with Hive. Radcliffe's magic sauce was combining Hive spoor + Kree blood + Diviner Metal + Terrigen Crystals to create something that would convert regular people into people with the Inhuman gene, awaken their power, then bind them to hive in one fell swoop. Created alpha primitives instead, but good try I guess. The pure crystals must be something he figured out while doing the other work. I'm assuming pure crystals were possible all along, but Jaiying didn't want to spare non-Inhumans and killing them was a bonus.

But between his time with Hive trying to make the crystals safe for humans and his work with SHIELD who has whatever Jaiying left behind (and yeah, she obviously saw "killing humans" as a benefit, not a bug) whatever Radcliff had was the results of all of that. Seems like the Watchdogs want to awaken all Inhumans so they can kill them. They consider just the genetic potential to be an Inhuman to be a disease. I mean, didn't SHIELD develop a blood test for that? That'd be a lot easier.

cjg posted:So are we back to"The Darkhold corrupted Aida"? It didn't corrupt her. She isn't human. She doesn't have human morals or emotional responses. But she was given a human-like quantum magic brain. She is accutely aware of her own limitations and is struggling to fix the problem in the only way she knows how: cold logic. It's why she kept the Superior alive the way she did. A fleshy human brain controlling a robot body. I think she hopes to learn what she needs to know to be human from that combination. She doesn't realize that it will never work because her brain didn't develop like a human brain. It didn't grow from nothing and slowly build up experiences, slowly learn language, learn interaction. All that was programmed in and instantly available to her. She doesn't get it and never will. It isn't about what you know but how you learned it that makes us human and not just a robot. Deep AIs are programmed that way, given basics and then they learn and grow, often in unexpected ways. But Aida wasn't built that way. She just suddenly was. it's probably why the first Aida was more relatible than the Darkholde quantum magic Aida. The first Aida was built slowly over time and learned as she went. Slowly coming to understand human behavior. As MayB pointed out, when the memories are just uploaded, then you never really did any of that. "I have memories of snow, but this is the first time I've seen snow." Darkholde Aida was built already knowing and that was to her detriment.
