Snooooooze
X-Men Crossover scheduled for next year
http://www.newsarama.com/27034-report-apocalypse-wars-x-men-crossover-in-2016.html
What makes it interesting to me is that it seems that Evan/Genesis is NOT becoming Apocalypse in it, so we'll have the potential of Apocalypse vs his heroic kid clone
Synder giving the people what they want! PRELUDE TO THE JUSTICE LORDS
Whole season spoilers
There were some bright spots, Roy as Arsenal is awesome, shame he had to leave. Although I'm up for Thea joining the team (something I wouldn't have been found dead saying at the start of season 1).
I can only imagine the life of a CW writer.
"Oh, have you told Mike that the milk has gone bad?"
"No. He can never know, it would destroy him."
Sounds like it'll be based on his early, pre-Power Man stories.
about roy
as for the rest
the season was really good and really bad at the same time
I am totally up for a good showdown between Genesis and Apocalypse
So we have Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash appearing in the movie
So yeah almost certainly gonna end with a Justice League shot
I'm going to guess that
Wonder Woman is the one who got that prophecy/vision from the oracles and that's why she left Themyscira. She's going to gather up all the super powered people so she could create the Justice League, prevent that dark future, and combat Darkseid. Then they could have her show up in other movies to recruit the other heroes.
That would require the movie to have a sense of humor.
It had some really great bits, particularly
Fun fact: Liam Neeson almost reprised that role, but was busy with other work and couldn't make it happen.
Ray Palmer's bits are neat, but it made some sense when I heard he was supposed to be Ted Kord but DC said no so they wrote Palmer into it instead.
My main beefs with season three are as follows
- The handling of Felicity, who basically has zero agency and is tossed between boyfriends with little to no say in any of it.
- The decline in the quality of fight scenes. Like, season 3 just stopped trying to make things seem tense. Everything got kinda formulaic and predictable. I just stopped feeling like the gang was ever in any real danger. S4 hasn't really fixed this.
- The show's desperation to make everyone care about the plot with one silly drama bomb after another. WHO KILLED SARA? Wait, was it Merlyn? No! Was it Roy? NO! it was Thea! Who was being mind controlled by Merlyn! Who is now blackmailing Ollie to fight Ra's al Ghul by threatening to throw his own daughter under the bus! DUN DUNNNN
Oh shit now Ollie's going to be the new Ra's! But he doesn't want to be! Oh no, now Ra's is terrorizing the city! Oh no, now Thea is going to die! Oh no, now Ollie is turning dark side! Oh wait he's faking it. OH NO MERYLN BACKSTABS HIM.
Just
fucking stop it. Please.
And my last beef is just... Laurel. Just fuck Laurel. She's never not been the worst character in the show. Her sister was so much better, and then she got fridged to make Laurel more interesting. Bleugh.
I would've lost all my shit
13th of January last I heard.
Because Tony vs Captain hasn't been done before.
I am looking forward to Skrull invasion 2.0!
Wait, aren't the Skrulls are dead? Fuck it, bring them back, Galactus threw up.
I'm still wary but we should probably wait until they unveil the actual plot of the thing instead of just a single teaser image before shitting on it?
e:
Ah, that was it, thanks Undead!
I skimmed the wiki's but nothing jumped out at me, and I had forgotten they were part of the Builder War. I just remember Galactus eating their planet.
All we have is a teaser that has them about to punch each other
Which hints at that, yeah, but there have been misleading or mostly inaccurate teasers for events before and they are obviously trying to get that Civil War buzz by plastering the image of CAPTAIN AMERICA VS. IRON MAN everywhere
But Bendis has written 4 events, 3 of which are fantastic (1 Of those probably being the single best event they've done outside of maybe Secret Wars depending on how it ends) and is also writing a pretty great, fun Iron Man book right now so I very much doubt Tony will be in the antagonistic role he is usually shoved into. And with Sam Wilson having one of the most acclaimed books in the relaunch and also being super liberal and proactive and a great hero he likely isn't going to be either.
There's a ton we don't know. I'm tired of heroes fighting each other too but just as Secret Wars only had a few tenuous connections to the original event this might just have a handful of similar themes to CW 1.
Blank while I admire your restraint
The idea that we should wait when the thing they are showing is cap and Tony punching each other seems a bit silly
Like that's what they're advertising
If you don't like that it is perfectly justified to be upset
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
I said we should maybe wait before shitting on event we know nothing about other than "there is a teaser image of Cap and Iron Man facing off"
If you hate that teaser that's totally fine but there are tons and tons of different ways they could tell a story based on that image and we have no idea what they are actually doing
Like I get why the gut reaction is OH GOD THEY'RE JUST DOING CIVIL WAR ALL OVER AGAIN, that is what the teaser is kind of meant to envoke, but Marvel literally just did a giant event all about revisiting old events and putting distinct spins on them so there's not a lot of reason to believe this is going to just be the same thing with a different status quo going in. Especially since Bendis is already writing Tony as extremely likeable and heroic and dashing which is already totally against one of the first event's biggest flaws.
I absolutely hated the actor who played Ra's.
Like, one of the worst parts of the whole season was that actor.
