Thanks for yr reply.

“In fact, the way that the characters deify Steve as the only person to respond well to the serum feels remarkably unfounded.”

I was also really sold on the Wakandans’ genuine feelings of betrayal that Bucky would work with Zemo. They did so much to help Bucky reclaim his past identity (despite not really having any selfish motivation to do it), they didn’t try to hold him accountable for the things he did under HYDRA’s control, they even…

Quoting Dr. Erskine to young Steve - “...The serum amplifies everything that is inside, so good becomes great; bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because the strong man who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows... compassion.”

I love the enormous amounts of compassion the Wakandas have shown for Bucky. We see it in the post-credits for Civil War from T’Challa, and then again after Black Panther with Shuri.

My goodness, that opening scene with Ayo and Bucky had me from the start. She’s so good! And him initially fighting back tears in fear of becoming the killing machine again only to realize he’s free and cry out of joy hit so well!

As a lawyer, I can tell you that was soo laughably bad it was actually hard to take it seriously. It was like a simpson’s episode with the judge from there. Judge can you dismiss the charges against me and while you are at it charge my sister with a bunch on my say so? Okay! I thought the Flash was bad and Daredevil…

am I crazy or is trying to kill half the world going to be a fight between federal jurisdiction and the ICC? City court?!?!?! For attempted genocide?!?!?!

That was Ennis Esmer? Covering his face with a mask the entire time was a waste of my favorite Turkish-Canadian.

Especially since her flight was from National City, where she had gone to explicitly discuss the Kryptonite situation with Kara.

S & L is only about a year further than Supergirl will be when it picks up next week. So Crisis not only turned one baby into twins, but “back-dated” them years ago.

I couldn’t agree more about Kara. It makes no sense for the show to have not name-dropped or even just hinted at her all so far when Supergirl was practically bending over backwards to name-drop Superman nearly every episode in its 1st season, and plenty of other times afterwards. And correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m…

To add one more example: You’d think Kara would’ve been combing through Gotham looking for her galpal Kate Kane, right?

Nope. Pre crisis Lois and Clark got married later in life and had a newborn last season. (they found out Lois was pregnant before Clark popped the question)

Post crisis, their relationship started earlier as did their marriage and the birth of their sons (now twins).

At the end of crisis, Lois informs Clark about their…

But it’s still a downgrade from where he was.

It’s actually not. Diggle is guest starring this season. That’s what makes the lack of references so weird to me. 

Juliet was 14. Maybe you do get over break-ups quickly, but are horribly miserable and dramatic until you do. Also, he’s on the bench on the football team where he was the star quarterback in Metropolis. That’s a huge blow to the ego right there. Plus he’s clearly been eating it and putting on a show for the family…

yep, the most unrealistic thing on this show is not that superman exists, it is those two are supposed to be 14..c’mon man.  If you were going to age them, and they did, at least make it realistic and make them 17 or 18. They are probably even older than that IRL but 14?

Jon and Jordan are another entry into the CWVerse’s collection of Good Siblings (along with Alex and Kara, Anissa and Jen, and to a lesser degree Ollie and Thea), but man, nothing about them reads fourteen to me. I get why the show would have them be fourteen — it gives you more seasons of them at home, but it really…

I quite like Lois’s boss at the newspaper. She’s got a fun energy to her and I hope she doesn’t end up dead.
