The EDM line was the best but you missed off a very close second: Curtis saying "where's my Earth-shattering kaboom"? I expect a lot of people missed it but he's quoting Marvin the Martian from Daffy Duck / Bugs Bunny cartoons. It's a very Curtis line.

Nit-picking is fine. It was on my mind when I wrote it. It's why I specifically called out "God" in quote marks rather than say, 'the Abrahamic god" or "the Judeo-Christian god". They are the same being. But only if you believe in It's objective existence. If you regard it as a cultural concept rather than an actual…

Okay. I guess I can make an exception. I'll check out Watchmen and let you know.

"Vengeance" cries Diggle's baby.

Your entire argument hinges on the assumption that Future Barry WANTS to become Savitar and that he has some reason to want to "defeat" himself in the past. But since we now know that he and Barry are the same
person, the question now is: why does he even want to fight his past self in the FIRST place?!

Oh, I agree. The movie plot (and most of it, in fact) were awful. I'm just saying that her motivation was about the only good thing in it to me. I got where she was coming from and I actually thought she was right. Well, maybe not about killing all non-mutants / falling in with Magneto. But I get her desire to kill…

That sounds like a bad thing (moving away from specifically about TV and movies for a moment). So if I left school at sixteen in the USA, I would be legally prevented by the government from taking full employment? :/

I'm pretty darn certain that Harry is straight (I suppose Malfoy could be gay). So that's not really going to work. Though in some alternate universe where he was gay, sure. It would have the same poetic redemtion to it as Malfoy ending up with Hermione. But like I said, it's not going to work in the actual books as…

Ron should have ended up with Luna, Harry with anyone but Ginny. The casting for the film makes it worse that Harry ended up with her. She's literally a doppelgänger of his mum!!!

It isn't? It's how I've always heard it used. Someone says something relatively innocuous (to them) and another person goes off on one about it. They were "triggered". Like when they preface a talk with "trigger warnings" saying that something is going to be discussed that some people will find offensive. Is that not…

She probably keeps the Killer Frost outfit around just in case Julian asks her to play dress-up. I say "just in case", I think more likely "hopes". I feel endlessly sorry for Caitlin. She's so great and has no luck whatsoever.

Man, I'd hate to be your friend every time you got into trouble! "I ripped off some gangsters so I told them you were me." "I defaulted on my mortgage payments so I put your name down as guarantor." "I pooed myself in the night so I've left some extra laundry for you on your doorstep."

That probably has to go to Supergirl and the horse. (The horse really being a shape-changing lesbian from Outer Space who disguised herself as a - male? - horse so that Supergirl would keep him / her as a pet and ride her).

Well, no. Likening her to Miles Dyson doesn't mean everything is the same, it means there are points of similarity. In this case that's not that she creates Savatar, it's that she is, as metioned - a plot-important side character. She's not the rebel leader nor the mother of the rebel leader, she's well, Myles Dyson.

I guess but at the start of his character, he was pretty damn confident.

Yeah - it's a worryingly recurrent trope. I'm suspicious that on some level people feel that a person who is smarter than everyone else has to "make up for it" to the 'ordinary' person. Only evil people are allowed to be unapologetic about their genius.

And even all those why's might be less "confusing" to some viewers and more something that intrigues them and makes them sit forward. In addition to not obsessing over the show, casual viewers (the huge majority) are also a lot more likely to treat an unknown as something exciting.

1.) If Savitar still thinks the past can't be changed, or that it
shouldn't, then WHY IS HE SCREWING AROUND IN THE PAST IN THE FIRST
PLACE? If he hadn't chosen to antagonize himself in the past by killing
Iris, then he never would have been alone to begin with, and he would
have been a happy man!

Have you ever looked back at your life and the actions of your younger self, and just wanted to punch that idiot?

I am rationalising it that she knows they will always be seeking her out and trying to imprison her and change her into someone she no longer wants to be. And she's probably right in that. But still, I agree with you and I would prefer they highlighted that a little.
