Bump. Trying to decide whether I want to let this thread purge or keep bumping it until the next season starts.


You could alwaya just start a new one when it does. Only downside is I'll have to find it.

It was also cool being able to see the same character at different points in history.

my step father's theory is he will likely be the real end of the season threat, or at least heavily involved. his theroy is hes how female cicada got back into the past (or present day for the series) as the pod they found required a speedster to operate it. so yeah having him as a one off would be kinda dumb.

I thought the Hawaiian monster was supposed to be a deity of some kind. I thought someone said something about him being a god on the show

anyway, I'm hyped for the season finale of Arrow. on twitter Stephen Amell said that whatever it is, it made him almost break into tears and shock. it's supposed to be something HUGE

and I want to see Crisis on Infinite Earths next fall. supposedly the crisis will tie in directly wit the ending to Arrow

also can't wait for Batwoman. I liked the actress in last Crisis. I think they picked the right choice


yeah I think demi god. not positive. but whatever he is seems to have werewolf like qualities just not completely the same.

If the average episode had even half the action this episode had I would be a lot happier. That's been my only complaint. Way too many episodes that had zero action.

Yeah, BL didn't get much action this season. It was usually Thunder, Khalil, Cutter, or some other random character.


I remember one episode where he was in costume just long enough to ask a dude a question. No action at all the rest of the episode iirc. Then another where him and thunder showed up just to quickly disarm some bombs.

They should have had to is get the pod kids sooner so they could had a villain of the week thing going

Black Lightning season two is over; good season overall. It sometimes feels like it it's going at a strange direction or pace, but I think you just have to accept that it marches to its own beat. It looks like the next season is going to raise the stakes.

I did like them using the same villain more than one season in a row though, one it's different and two it makes him seem more intimidating.

So John Cryer isn't quite as bad at being Lex Luthor as I imagined he would be; he does put his own unique spin on it. But I still don't think it was a great choice.

Also, I just read that Hawaii Five-O may be a part of the Arrowverse. A criminal from one episode shared the same name as a criminal from an episode of Arrow.

And with the way the show has been this season and the long ass break, maybe it would be best to just end Legends.


IDK I liked legends just for the fact it's a place to dump characters too good to do away with but not important enough to keep as a reoccurring role on the show they are from. Mad they killed off snart though. I loved his character

They better have a very good explanation for that.


Im pretty sure it's because it's cheaper since the actor for Wells is already on the show. Whether the find some B's to explain it remains to be seen.

I love that actor though just in this show alone he's proven he can play a large variety of roles. And it impressed me because im sure many actors have to get into a role where as he's done several in one episode alone.

But for thawne I do prefer the other guy for looks and story reasons

That's in the original timeline; the one Eobard Thawne is from. In that timeline he became The Flash much later. When Thawne was stuck in our era he couldn't wait long enough for things to happen the normal way, so he sped things up with the particle accelerator (no pun intended).


Hmm I thought in the show eobard explained that Barry would lose his powers if he didn't allow him to set the timeline right by killing his mother.

One interesting thing I read about reverse flash though the show doesn't touch on. He will always remember changes to the timeline where as everyone elses memory will eventually change to suit the timeline.i guess Barry only remembers if he was the one who caused it but the show doesn't seem to be consistent on that as he was forgetting things in flash point.

Eobard though supposedly remembers things even if he had nothing to do with the timeline changing.

Unfortunately Barry will always make dumb decisions (in battle at least),

Yeah I meant in non-battle times.

But honestly, I just can't get past the feeling of the time travel being garbage.

The reason everything is happening, is because that dude from the first season killed his mom. I think it's stupid that going back and not letting him even enter the house so he literally doesn't do anything doesn't reset the timeline to how it's supposed to be. After beating emo Barry, he should have been more than strong enough to stop the yellow dude from doing anything and changing anything. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and makes me feel like things can be prevented so time can flow normally.


Iirc it's basically if his mom doesn't die the right circumstances never happen where he becomes the flash. Like if his mom doesn't die his dad won't go to prison their for he will never decide to get into CSI which is where the lighting struck him

Time travel stuff is always weird but they are trying to take stuff from the comics I believe but not completely do the same thing either.

I've always hated using it that loosely. If you use it that loosely it serves no purpose existing as a term outside table top games. Because in video games that covers the vast majority.

Im opposed to being overly strict about it too but will generally concede to some games just have some or alot of RPG traits but not all. If being strict though I'd say a RPG needs stats leveling up equipment character classes some form of rng affecting gameplay like which stats level up and how much or if an attack/skill works and a blank slate character you get to make up, name class and if you wish back story.


That's why I generally don't care for calling RPG a genre of its own. Instead, describing games as being another genre with varying degrees of RPG elements (such as leveling up, character customization, stat management, party management, the ability to influence the story and the world...) seems to make a lot more sense, especially where those RPG elements have bled into so many different genres.


Same but I will call a game a RPG if the RPG elements seem to be the main focus or draw. Like elder scrolls. It's an action RPG but let's be real the action sucks compared to various other action games. Some people play it for the adventure and then people like me play it for the ability to come up with a role of our own making and living in the world presented to us. Few games get me excited to level up like a Bethesda rpg too.

That aspect would kinda make it goofy, though, especially because his villains tend to have signature styles.


How would it be goofy. Im assuming if they did a show it would be as if it was his first time encountering the villains. And some would be easy for us viewers sure but some they could be vague enough with the clues or it be a more obscure villain we wouldn't think of right away.

Like Riddler yeah he'd be a dead giveaway if they did him right. Two face or penguin would be a little harder.

Zzaaz or however it's spelled though. Iirc he's just a vanilla serial killer who cuts himself for every kill he makes so he'd be perhaps difficult.

...what is so bad about it really? It's already a more or less absurd premise to begin with, and I'm not the least bit surprised that this has a Blade/LxG/Preacher vibe to it.

I love Sandman, but after seeing what was done to Lucifer, I have no illusions about the sacrifices I'd have to endure to ever see it get out of development hell.

Imagine Batman getting a Netflix treatment.

Nobody is ever going to be happy at the end of the day.


Maybe not Netflix but I always felt Batman was better suited to a TV show than movies or other heroes who have gotten shows. He has many many interesting villains that just aren't big enough threats for a movie, and current super hero shows always have the hero having a team around them. That works for him, Robin Nightwing Batgirl/Oracle and of course Alfred. To some degree gordon


Yeah, a lot of superhero stories work far better as a tv show especially since you can have running storylines involving masterminds. Daredevil was perfect in that regard since s1 had a slow build where the Kingpin didn't even show up right away. It was definitely the best-constructed of the Marvel NFI shows.

And while Batman could logically be broken up into a tv show, the format has also always worked well for Superman because he has Lex Luthor.

Not as bad as the Hellboy trailer from yesterday, buy I feel like this movie isn't going to add anything new to the franchise. I'm sure it's going to be fun, but nothing I can't get from the previous 3 movies.



It doesn't look bad, it's just a pointless reboot. The casting also seems awkward, more so for Hemsworth than Thompson.

Eh we have differing opinions on what makes a god. But I'll concede on maybe he's attained godhood (movie did nothing to imply it though)

I was on the train of thought that he wasn't born a god. And that if you ain't a god you just ain't a god. Then realized wonder woman attained godhood in the new 52 difference being she was already a demi God and gained godhood through outright replacing an existing one.

Once again we just have differing opinions. People thought Egyptian Pharos where God's. Doesn't make it so.

It's not really a question of opinion, though. If Marvel officially classifies something or someone as a god within the context of their own universe, then that person or thing is objectively a god regardless of whether or not you agree with them. For example, Thor is literally a god, full stop.

Thanos IS a grey area, because he wasn't a god at birth, though he was part of a race that had been considered gods by some in-universe. But he's also been a god multiple times in-universe without question.

My step father is a huge marvel geek and even he says thanks isn't a god. Dude owns like 1000+ marvel comics so I tend to take his word

I own nearly double that. And if you throw in digital comics that I've read but don't actually own, you could probably double that number again.

So by your own logic that would make him automatically wrong and me automatically and objectively correct on any subject on which we disagree.



Difference is I have no way of knowing if you are lying. I've personally seen his collection. And he talks about marvel shit constantly so im pretty convinced he's read them and more than what he has. He's the kind of guy who can site exactly which issue of a comic someone like blank panther fisrt appears in.

And has any comics outright stated hes a god?

So this boils down to we define god differently. To me he's from the universe(not another plane/dimension) and mortal so not a god.

That describes most of the actual gods of the Marvel universe, though. Whether Asgardians or characters like Hercules, who are explicitly gods in the comics (even if the movies shit on the idea of Asgardians being gods as opposed to aliens). Ironically, the actual transcendent beings who exist entirely beyond the physical (like Death and Eternity) usually AREN'T referred to as gods by anyone. They're basically "beyond" godhood.

Thanos is actually an Eternal. And Earth's Eternals have repeatedly been referred to as gods or mistaken for them (the most common being Zuras, Thena, and Makkari - who are usually conflated with Zeus, Athena, and Hermes/Mercury, respectively). They even live on Mount Olympus. Even the ones who aren't usually considered gods still inspire tons of mortal legends (like Sersi, Gilgamesh, and Ikaris).

Thanos' brother is Eros (aka, the Greek God of Desire). And Thanos himself is specifically named to evoke Thanatos, the Greek God of Death.



Once again we just have differing opinions. People thought Egyptian Pharos where God's. Doesn't make it so. My step father is a huge marvel geek and even he says thanks isn't a god. Dude owns like 1000+ marvel comics so I tend to take his word

Either way you clearly didn't pay attention. Hell I don't even read marvel comics and i know for a fact death is another character entirely. In the movie he's the last of a alien race.

The literal incarnation of death (ie, Death) is another character, but there are multiple gods of death in the comics. So that wouldn't prevent Thanos from being one of them (and some cultures in the setting certainly tend to consider him one).

Though if we're going by the comics, Thanos doesn't actually care about the universe at all, and certainly isn't purging it to preserve it. He's just killing people because he is literally in love with Death, who appears to him as a hot chick in purple robes. She's kind of an aloof bitch, though, and doesn't seem to love him back, so he keeps doing crazier and crazier things to try and win her over. Most of which never work.

Also, in the comics, while Thanos IS from Titan, Titan is literally just the moon of Saturn, not an entirely different planet in a different solar system. And he isn't the last survivor of Titan, Titan's actually doing fairly well for itself. He's just an exile from there because they consider him a terrorist, and he killed his mother. His father and brother are still around, though, and have worked with the Avengers in the past (his brother actually WAS an Avenger for a while).

Movie Thanos is basically a well-intentioned extremist because they wanted you to be able to sympathize with his motives if not his methods, because Marvel isn't fond of doing purely one-dimensional villains. "Guy who wants to have sex with death" probably wasn't going to work in the universe they've established.

But either way, the moment he has the Gauntlet, in either universe, he basically IS God.

(And the Gauntlet isn't even the only time he's basically been God in the comic universe - he's had the Cosmic Cube at least once, and that basically lets you rewrite reality however you want on a whim like a genie with unlimited wishes. And at least once he basically inherited the powers of the literal ultimate over-god of the setting and only gave them up because he had to in order to basically fix the universe and save it - otherwise he'd basically be god of nothing, ruling over a broken ruin.)



So this boils down to we define god differently. To me he's from the universe(not another plane/dimension) and mortal so not a god.

Except Thanos is no god

Literally God of Death.


No. In the comics he actually has a crush on death. In the movie he's literally the last of his race or something like that.

Snapping half the universe dead is death god work.


Something he can't do without tools.


You think God doesnt use tools?

I get the feeling as long as they feel most people around them agree


And when they don't, they never stop pestering.


IDK maybe it's just something where I live. Most people I know are raised to believe talking about sex politics and religion publicly is considerd rude. The religion one is somewhat ignored though but vast majority down here is christian. But no one really preaches or shit just typical "God bless" type of remarks

...what is so bad about it really? It's already a more or less absurd premise to begin with, and I'm not the least bit surprised that this has a Blade/LxG/Preacher vibe to it.

I love Sandman, but after seeing what was done to Lucifer, I have no illusions about the sacrifices I'd have to endure to ever see it get out of development hell.

Imagine Batman getting a Netflix treatment.

Nobody is ever going to be happy at the end of the day.


Maybe not Netflix but I always felt Batman was better suited to a TV show than movies or other heroes who have gotten shows. He has many many interesting villains that just aren't big enough threats for a movie, and current super hero shows always have the hero having a team around them. That works for him, Robin Nightwing Batgirl/Oracle and of course Alfred. To some degree gordon

Go for it

I let my son watch Robocop for the first time when he was 3


Came in to say I watched this and Terminator 2 at like 5. My mom always made sure to remind me movies where fictional and she'd beat my ass if I ever tried doing stuff I saw in them.
