Amph Cue The "Super Friends" Theme! - DC "CW-verse" Discussion

Yeah, that's not what I meant. But it's something she screwed up and now needs Barry's help.

 

They had enough scenes of Supergirl leaving work this season to suggest that she was at work when not on screen during office hours. Plus scenes of her and James in his office. You’re being ridiculous.

The first season really focused on bringing supergirl into her own at Catco. It was time to back off of that a little and let her be the superhero we all actually want to see. Except for one person who thinks we should watch a superhero show about a girl at work being a reporter.

That wasn’t bad, except I have to complain about the writing, of course

Spoiler

Supergirl: I can’t kill Reign, that’s not who I am, I have to time travel to fix it!

Two minutes later....

Supergirl grins as Sam beats the **** out of Reign, and forces water down her throat until killing her with a fate worse than death as shadow demons whisk her into rock.

I imagine that grin on Supergirls grid is a common occurrence...every two weeks when she sees a deposit in her bank from catco for doing sweet **** all.

Russian Supergirl is going to be awesome, that was a brilliant reveal.

 

This show has gotten really bad , I just don't buy any of the characters at all ( except Supergirl) the acting is terrible .

 

Well, the show is cutting back on some of the characters with Winn and Jonn leaving. Hopefully, that will make the show more streamline.

As for the season finale with Supergirl's code of not killing? Well, that make sense. But the time travel thingie didn't. I agree that was pretty bad and would have preferred to come up with a different solution. To me, it was lazy writing. I would have just preferred everyone being killed off by Reign. Anyway, Reign's second death came off as (from Supergirl's perspective):





It just wasn't done as well.


And season four was certainly inspired by this:

 

Yah Reign going crazy and taking out three characters at once in her death throes was a jaw dropper of a moment, kind of wish they had stuck to that instead of time travel reset about 3 minutes later. Losing Winn is kinda annoying because he makes with the quips being The Guy in the Chair but maybe it'll give him something substantive to do on his return (since you know he's going to return, his goodbye moment didn't quite have the resonance). But they did have Brainiac 5 tease OG evil Brainiac so that would be super neat. And Communist Red Sun Supergirl could be solid because evil Supergirl was one of the best things about Crisis on Earth X.

Still, I have to say, overall my favourite scene in this season is pretty easily Reign's Christmas Beatdown on Supergirl. That was just nasty and excellently done. Also violence at Christmas I'm always a sucker for.

 

Shame the Legends are not involved.

 

Ha, I was thinking the opposite. Opinions, eh?

 

I love when the CW's DCTV have crossover events.

And although I will miss the Legends not being part of it, there are two major characters from the DC world that will (nope it's not Black Lightning, at least for now and Batwoman has already been announced)...

Spoiler: Characters to appear in crossover event

Arrowverse crossover to feature Tyler Hoechlin's Superman, introduce Lois Lane

Batwoman will come face to face with Superman and Lois Lane (!!!) in the annual Arrowverse crossover.

EW has learned that Tyler Hoechlin is set to reprise his role as the Man of Steel in this year’s three-night crossover, which will mark Ruby Rose’s debut as Gotham crusader Batwoman, a.k.a. Kate Kane. He will appear in all three episodes, meaning fans will finally get to see him share the screen with Grant Gustin’s Flash and Stephen Amell’s Green Arrow; however, that isn’t the only major development. The CW will also introduce intrepid Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane in the epic event, too. Casting for the role will begin soon.

“We couldn’t be more excited to introduce Lois Lane to the Arrowverse,” said Supergirl executive producers Jessica Queller and Robert Rovner. “This dogged, determined and brave reporter will make for a strong partner to Superman and amazing addition to our universe of DC characters.”

 

Me likey.

 

In a situation like this, the threat shouldn't be so big as to require them. Batman's rogues wouldn't qualify. Dominators and an invasion from another universe does. And putting

Spoiler

Superman in the story more than makes up for the absence of the Legends. This makes me think that Batwoman exists on Earth-38 and may be a way to push Bruce out of the story, but still leave the door open if it can happen.

 

I think a merge is warranted.

 

I may not have agreed to a merge a couple of years ago because of the problems of spoiling episodes, but I think the lack of postings in the Supergirl, Flash, Black Lightning and Legends of Tomorrow threads last season strongly suggest that no cares or drop those shows. So, yeah, merge away.

I'd also recommend to be put in the title of the thread "SPOILERS WITHIN" to allow the non-use of spoiler tags. I really think spoiler tags hinder the discussion.

Supergirl is kind of doing it's own Elseworld tale with it's version of "Red Son" from how last season ended.

 

@heels1785 are the shows in the titile in order of your favorite from best to worst?

 

I watch the four linked ones, and in order because OCD bull****. I'm usually quite up to date. I watch a few episodes of Black Lightning, and it was okay, but too many other shows, so I'm well behind.

 

I was going to be a pain in the *** and ask for them to be in order of air date or alphabetical, but I guess it doesn't matter as I don't plan on watching them anymore.

Arrow was great, but then Flash replaced it as better IMO. I think I can say for certain that I've only really loved one episode of Supergirl, the one with Red Tornado I think. I loved Westworth Miller on Legends and when they killed him off and the whole Bebo/Bemo whatever his name storyline really jumped the shark and I don't care for the new addition/subtractions to the team so that show is ruined now.

Sadly, the Arrow storylines have decreased in quality each year and I'm tried of whiny Flash.

I haven't watched one episode of BL.

 

WHAT?!?

LoT sneakily became the best of the DCTV shows! They 100% leaned into how bananas it should be and is awesome... Black Lightning had maybe the best freshman season of those shows; a bit rough at times, but unapologetically what it was (which was awesome).

 

Bebo being a highlight of the superb banananananess

 

I think the structure of The Flash Season 1 was excellent. Establish the characters, their personalities, and how well they work together. Insert a little bit of doubt over one of them and then BOOM, big reveal cliffhanger at the mid-season finale. Then the show takes a small break and picks back up, keeps that forward momentum while giving us a great story and satisfying ending. From there, in future seasons, the time travel stuff got too convoluted, Flash became flawed so he could grow, but he never learned from his mistakes so for every one step forward, he took two back. The plot armor of certain characters and the horrible weekly/yearly villains haven't done the show any favors.

From the trailer for the newest season, his daughter is now a factor and it feels like it's going to be another season where he's hesitant and will second guess every decission as (1) doing SOMEthing might erase her from existence, but also (2) doing NOthing might erase her from existence...so hard pass. I don't want to go on that journey.

Arrow Season 1 had the perfect pairing of island flashbacks to current events off island. I fell in love with this show. Season 2 was okay and had some forward momentum, but I can't remember much. I remember a boat and the Russians and Slade, but that's about it. From there, it becomes a convoluted mess involving his whiny sister, whiny girlfriend who becomes a whiny waste of space superhero who ends up getting herself killed. Then came Felicity and that was great, then it wasn't, and then it was great again. Quentin was awesome, most of the time, but then there was the drinking and he never bounced back from that plot line.

Now Oliver is in prison and the **** villain from last season is still alive because Bad Laurel is just as stupid as Old Laurel. Done and done with this show.

Supergirl they couldn't figure out, and then they lost Cat Grant who was the one pushing Supergirl to be better. So with no one to push her, everyone became a SJW, and we're all supposed to be rooting from them because why? I quit after the show went on break and didn't finish the whole Reign storyline and don't care. Anyone who's supposed to be running a company and disappears without notice for hours/days/whatever wouldn't still be running the company when they came back. Garbage logic, bad writing, and horrible acting are ultimately why I've said goodbye to this show.

Legends, as said above, was bananas and that made it worth watching. It didn't take itself too seriously and it was a welcome fresh air after how serious The Flash and Arrow had gotten. But as I said above, it went a little too bananas and I just don't care anymore.
