So there you have the difference between Flash/Supergirl and Arrow at its extreme.

Like I said, that isn't canon anymore anyways, so that may very well be the reason.
And I hated the prequel fights, mostly due to the fact it never looked like they were actually trying to hit each other.

I remember back when Legends was canon, it was explained that his suit was designed so he could never be too powerful or athletic by Palpatine. So he created his own fighting style that was slower, but precise and overwhelmingly powerful, and that seems to be how he was portrayed in Rogue One.

It's like for some reason artists should be required to put a specific amount of minorities in a show or movie.
Like I don't see people going to Bollywood or Chinese cinema and lecturing everyone on how they need more non-Indian or non-Chinese people. It's ridiculous.

True, but the whole mischief aspect reminded me of the fifth dimension imps. They mess with people, but aren't malicious.

1. Need more of Candice Patton in high-waisted pants ASAP.
2. Was Music Meister supposed to be like an imp or something? He seemed to imply he wasn't from the multiverse, meaning he'd be from another dimension, and he acted kind of similar to how Mister Mxyzptlk would.

Can't knock my guy Danny for trying something after being raised by monks for more than half of his life.

Yeah I felt that definitely about Luke Cage, but I saw enough fair criticism of Diamondback being a shitty villain. JJ seemed a little more immune to the criticism, but I think if you take an honest look neither were amazing, and even DD S2 had some big issues towards the end. I think the shows managed to ride the…

Yeah not nearly as bad as everyone said. Then again, "everyone" seems to be critics, I've seen mostly positive fan reaction. It's definitely the opposite of LC and DD S2 in that it's picking up as it goes on.

Maybe I should have phrased that differently, the "indigenous" people of Scandinavia are all white, and until relatively recently in history those countries were near exclusively white countries.

So wasn't sold on the Chase as Prometheus reveal at first, but holy shit, Josh Segarra is nailing this role. He comes off as a complete psychopath, and it's brilliant.

Fair enough, but I think that's where this forced push for diversity will lead. If people continually complain there's not enough of "x" group in this category of media, then studios will push in minorities/identities as little more than tokenism. I don't think there's an easy solution here, but continually race…

You are aware white people exist outside of America correct? I'd say modern South African farmers being raped and murdered for being white would be racism.
You really took a pretty simple statement and took it to an outrageous place. White people exist outside of America, and not all racism is systematic. Some is just…

While I'm not going to get into the whole reverse racism thing, because I think that's just racism, you don't see people going to Bollywood and demanding diversity there. Black people in America are around 13% of the population. It would make sense that that's the rough proportion that they appear in film and TV.

True enough, but they are also just changing from the source material. I see that complaint when it comes to whitewashing with properties like Ghost in The Shell, it's that they're changing the race of the character from the source. Obviously Valkyrie and Heimdal aren't nearly as big characters as Major, but I still…

That's true. But still, this happens fairly frequently the reverse way without much fanfare. Take some DCTV properties for example, Iris, Wally (a fairly A-list character), both race swapped. Nick Fury in the MCU. Personally I didn't mind either of these, but it's the double standard I see when it comes to this that…

They're white people because they're based off of Nordic/Scandinavian mythology, and the people from those countries are all white.

No I meant this particular episode. Like they didn't show them talking before, I know they hooked up before. Didn't word it well.

How are they douchebags? Valkyrie has always been portrayed like a Scandinavian woman, blonde hair, pale skin, and blue eyes.
I don't personally care, but when so many people that complain about "whitewashing" cheer changing characters like this, it comes off as a tad hypocritical.

They gave no context to Niylah and Clarke, they just cut to them waking up. She'll probably die or something to make way for Bellamy, considering his interrupted confession at the end of the episode.
