Am I the only one who's reminded of Dr. Zoidberg when I hear Bane's voice?

Old Kentucky Shark posted:I believe they specifically said in interviews that they weren't going to go there this season. So have fun with that. Eh, it feels like they're at least going for a deliberate slow burn with a goal in sight, so that's a plus. They do feel like the sorts of characters who would take a while to realise how much they're into each other. The only issue is that they'd damned well better be confident that they're going to get another season if they're playing it slow with the overall story like this.

MonsterEnvy posted:Though Dr Psycho hating women was part of his character from the start unlike Light. I mean, he's a Wonder Woman villain. They're going to have at least one token misogynist. I think what makes this one charming is that he's hit rock bottom and is starting to slowly realise how awful he is (while the universe uses him as its punching bag and most of his victories are achieved with the help of his female boss).

I like the sports-show energy of this series. You know, a bunch of weirdos, misfits, and screw-ups banding together towards a shared purpose and finding a new family that brings out the best in them. The Legion of Doom are basically the rear end in a top hat Sports Team they're out to beat. It's just that their shared purpose is terrorising the planet, and nobody in the show takes that at all seriously, so why should we? I think the reason I'm kind of hyped for a Harley/Ivy romance in S2 is because they might be daring enough to make it healthy and wholesome.

LashLightning posted:Technically anti-Semitic, if going by that set of rules the British media was crowing on about while it was smearing Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party. The crime-themed bar mitzvah was pretty terrible, too. I really, really hope the writers are actually Jewish, or else this is hosed up. They are, yes. Halpern tweeted about it. It's basically a show about Jewish supervillains (yep, Harley's Jewish too) by Jewish writers.

Black Manta's helmet being huge makes sense (well, comic-book sense) because he's got two gigantic fuckoff energy cannons built into it. Seriously, most of it is probably just the generator.

This is a show about terrible people doing terrible things in endearingly wholesome ways, so I reckon that either Kite Man's going to get tragically killed off by a Legion of Doom member, or he's going to realise what Harley means to Ivy and they're going to have a good-natured breakup where they stay friends afterwards.

I do enjoy how we haven't actually seen this Clayface do much actual evil. He's just a superpowered actor who works for supervillains.

Catfishenfuego posted:OG Wonder Woman also had a really cool take as the hero who empathises with and redeems her villains through the power of love and compassion which has been totally tossed away in modern times in favour of making her the one that loves killing the most. Well, love and compassion and BDSM.

She's also probably the team's most skilled fighter. Not the strongest or toughest, but the most skilled. Any job that requires tactics, precision, or the ability to react to the unexpected is usually hers.

I feel like an amicable breakup is the most tonally fitting way for things to end. They stay friends, and he's hitting on some other supervillain who's ridiculously far out of his league in Season 2.

I kind of like Harley's look in this. It's a lot sleeker, cleaner, and more superhero-comic than her original New 52 redesign, and successfully conveys her character concept (murderously insane pro gymnast).

Ludicrous chutzpah that he somehow gets away with through luck and fundamental decency is his calling card, so i think he'll break up with her and they'll stay friends afterwards.

Yeah, she's a hedonist, not a mastermind. There's a genuine open question over whether she actually wants to be a crime-lord with the attendant responsibilities.

Sir DonkeyPunch posted:is the ending a reference to the movie, otherwise it went over my head? because usually Bane was "made" in a South American prison, explaining the luchador theme The prison (whether in South America or elsewhere) is generally depicted as a dark, hellish pit. The movie version is the most literal example, but it's not a huge departure from some of the comic versions.

Warbird posted:So the implication there is that one of Supe’s powers is jizz so potent that it destroys any egg it comes in contact with? Also Clark and Supe are complete separate characters now? Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex. No, really, I'm pretty sure that was exactly what the writers were thinking of.

Xander77 posted:I have no idea what's happening in this show. I genuinely thought the idea for season 2 is going to be "no Batman, no Joker", but they're leaning into both even more than in S1. It was mainly about Harley's relationship with Ivy, and exactly why Ivy's so attached to her. It also fleshed out this arc's main antagonist, Two-Face, and showed us what makes him tick.

Blueberry Pancakes posted:Well, I don't know if I'd say "fleshed out" given that we basically learn that Harvey only cares about his own image and promotion. Which was pretty clear from the last episode with Bane. The main thing we now know is that Harvey was always like this. He sees no meaningful difference between being a politician and a mob boss except that one is more socially acceptable. We didn't get until now how deep-rooted his hunger for power and adulation was, and how that'll affect his behaviour going forward. Everything previous was explainable as just normal supervillain behaviour, but this preps us for things to get weird.

theblackw0lf posted:I’m still hopeful the creators are going to use this to thoughtfully explore the concept of polyamory. I think KM is just way too 'lesbian's first boyfriend' for that. He's nice, but he's ultimately someone she settled for because he was good enough and she hadn't realised something better was possible.
