I wonder if g2 is referring the creation of Nick Fury Jr. in 616, bringing the main universe in line with the movies.

The breakup and it's flanderization of Nick was really a problem since pretty much the entire season before that had been spent showing how they were willing to compromise for each other, including Nick becoming a less over-the-top version of himself.

Yeah, but that's about 95% sports plus The Voice.

They've already committed to spending a hell of a lot of money that on content that won't make the costs back up in earnings. Might as well get something awesome out of it.

Blaming Grant for Republicans becoming the "party of money" is actually pretty hard to do. From the beginning it was the major home of former Northern Whigs and their pro-industrial business policies. Those policies were always there, it's just that there was also the civil rights plank as well, and that disappearing…

Psh, writers. Who needs those people?

So, what you're saying is they are all free to do more episodes of Happy Endings on some cable channel/streaming service?

"FAST FORWARD TO THE GOOD STUFF, I'M GETTING LIMP."

I think you can make a dark Superman story, but it has to be where Superman keeps his essential goodness even in the midst of the darkness. Alan Moore has been good at pulling this off.

Also, NASA.

Vin Diesel has lobbied for multiple Marvel roles, one of which panned out.

Dude gave up a fortune without litigation, meaning that his attorneys, who obviously know all about this area of the law, advised him he was toast.

So Peter Parker is the Barry Allen of this Crisis?

I'm sure the biggest red flag is that it has obvious connections with 30 Rock, and NBC doesn't do niche comedy anymore, they do broad comedy that nobody watches.

Wait, how has this not happened yet?

And by season 3 Laurel is…well, a lot better than season 2, but she really went off the rails in season 2, so maybe she's back to season 1 territory. Which is progress, maybe?

Well, considering a lot of cable channels show syndicated shows in large blocks, it likely won't come up as an issue that often.

Do the Rogues really need a second master planner who savors goofy dialogue and likes their supervillian name?

Is any of the staff on that list still at the AV Club?
