"but I still wish she were given more dignity and agency"

Really? Level 1 party going up against a lich? 38 HP fireball that doesn't instawipe them? No call for a Reflex save? To put it mildly, that's not the quality of DM'ing you aspire to after literally eating a DM's brain to gain his DM'ing powers.

Pretty hard not to interpret it that way. People literally create gods. Those gods literally demand sacrifices, and even the sacrifices that don't seem so bad at first (Media's "attention," for example,) end up being pretty fucking bad. Said gods, whether weak or strong, end up offering devil's bargains.

I find it incredibly disturbing that people would quickly elide the most basic premise that power corrupts when discussing Superman's frequent turns to fascism, and not even try to rally an argument for why it wouldn't apply to him. He was raised as a human. He can, ostensibly, interbreed with humans (or at least lust…

The surprise evidence offered by a prosecution witness in the middle of the trial was just a tiiiiiiiiiny bit unrealistic, yeah. And, you know, how it flagrantly violated the rules of evidence in and of itself even without it being a total blindside. "Let me just tell you what all these witnesses said. You know, what…

It's also a perfect dark mirror to everything Gabriel let slip before he left the U.S. They were all animals doing what they thought they had to to survive - and, just like always, the guys at the top maybe weren't, and the guys at the bottom doubly so (because the guys at the top would ruin them even if the…

We've already crossed a rubicon where the United States of America isn't absolutely reversing the ground invasion of *aliens with a fatal lead allergy.*

Everyone knows. Literally. Everyone. Knows.

It's also been demonstrated that the suit alone can't go super fast, which means that technically it should be vulnerable to all manner of fuckery. It's only because of retards that it wouldn't get sidelined, and having ARGUS in the mix makes it even more intolerable that everyone on the good guy side is retarded.…

It's clear evidence they're living in a hackneyed comic universe. Earth 2 Wells is going to figure it out next season.

Sons of Stanarchy? Dads of Stanarchy? Stans of Dadarchy?

In the final symbolic transition from the USSR to the gangster kleptocracy, Henry will agree to be a spy for the Russians, but only if they make him the best offer. His father will be devastated and his mother will be disgusted. Flash forward thirty years and Henry Jennings Bateman will be in the White House. He won't…

Because it confirms that he has special knowledge making his victory inevitable. Everybody is already convinced that Savitar wants '17 Allen to suffer. Neither Snow nor Frost would be skeptical of that. Frost is skeptical that he can deliver the goods. That's what the reveal resolves for her.

Honestly, if done well, I think it could be even more freaky and dystopian in the current sci-fi/fantasy climate if killing baby Hitler *does* actually change the future significantly. It could have incredible ramifications for The Flash via Vibe, and also hook back into LoT again.

Note to self: remember that Disqus nesting stops after a few comment replies. Read all comments first. Don't repeat what Doctor Professor already said.

He's probably a time remnant that Barry creates to try to defeat Savitar, which Savitar pretends to kill but then relocates. Being a time remnant forever on the run (see Thawn from this season of LoT) is what turns him killer emo, but also leads to him bouncing around the space-time continuum getting stupid-fast,…

You must really hate when people say "Yeah, right" to indicate skepticism or disbelief.

Probably not the best idea to try to do a Six Feet Under ending conceit in the last 10 minutes of a show where ghosts, afterlives, different dimensions, psychic planes, supernatural creatures with extended lifespans, etc. etc. have all been a massive shitshow for seasons upon seasons.

Well, at least Supergirl got her ass kicked again this week while using all of her major powers - all of which proved to be mild inconveniences to the White Martians. You'd think maybe a pair of psychic, shapeshifting villains would have enough of their own mojo - combined with a more on-point plan, maybe? - such that…

Technically, the time dimension is full of time remnants. The overwhelming majority of them have no idea what's happening, because they have no connection to the speed force and/or don't end up time traveling before their dead-ends… end.
