Okay, after last night’s episode of The Flash (302, Paradox) I saw some folks speculating that maybe Julian (Malfoy) Albert was Savitar and I freaked out. I love Savitar. I grew up reading Mark Waid’s Flash and, for me, Savitar is sacred as far as villains go. He needs to be portrayed just right. So I figured I would…
My daughters and I are really enjoying Elena of Avalor. I love that she’s Latinx and, more importantly, that she’s learning to be a fair and effective leader, but I’ve had to repeatedly defend her online. So I decided to address the two main complaints I’ve seen here.
One of the things I was most excited about in The Flash Season 2 was the introduction of Jesse Quick. This made me happier than the appearance of Wally West because I knew that was inevitable, but Jesse was an unexpected treat. It also helped that Violett Beane managed to balance her youth and brilliance with such…
Some have pointed out that The Flash’s suit looks really dark next to Supergirl, and I agree. I think Cisco (and the Flash costume people) need to further upgrade the suit to at least make it the same shade of red as Supergirl’s cape. Recently, there’s been two very good reasons for this change (besides the fact that…
I’m quickly becoming a big fan of the Supergirl TV show. I love that they’ve started taking risks and diving into the wider DC mythology with the introduction of Martians (both green and white), Bizarro, adapting the Alan Moore story “For The Man (Girl) Who Has Everything,” and soon to bring in Brainiac 8. Not to…
While we wait for The Flash to come back from the winter break, I wanted to share that the above image has haunted my dreams since this episode aired. I couldn’t put my finger on why until today. The reason is because the gag was genuinely funny. The thought immediately following this realization was: Man, The Flash…
So looking at this picture it became glaringly obvious that Legends of Tomorrow needs more women. People have mentioned this before and I’ve even thought it but seeing them displayed as if on Hollywood Squares drives this disparity home. So although I would absolutely love to see Curtis slap a black T on his face and…
Like most viewers of the CW’s The Flash, I love Wentwoth Miller’s Captain Cold. He’s so charming and droll. He sells all the cheesiness and even though we all know Barry should be able to disarm him in 5 nanoseconds, we love to see them fight. (And banter!)
I love Candice Patton’s Iris West. She brings a lot of heart and strength to the character. I also understand that the writers of The Flash are having a hard time incorporating her into the actual show (Yes, this season has been a 100 times better than the first, but she still feels like a secondary character instead…
Everyone knows we’re going to get Mirror Master and Dr. Alchemy this season and eventually with all the time travel shenanigans, we’ll see Abra Kadabra, but here are the less popular villains I’d like to see next season and why.
A while ago I posted something about why Jesse Quick should be introduced on The Flash TV show. I still think she’d be a great addition, but now, for some strange reason (maybe it was all the time travel stuff in the final episode of the season), I’ve been thinking about Jenni Ognats, XS, being on the show.
I love Jesse Quick. She's smart, capable (runs her own business) and is a legacy hero in her own right from a separate line of speedsters (the Quicks) that often intersect with the Flashes. Her father Johnny Quick gained super speed by saying (visualizing) a "speed" formula and she inherited it. Her mother was…
This morning I woke up thinking about the current Flash TV show and all the love and respect it directs toward the 90s show and then my mind instantly went to that great DS9 episode Trails and Tribble-ations and I thought, Yes! There's possibility there!
I've been thinking about The Superior Spider-Man a lot lately, probably because I binge read the whole thing, but also because I really connected with the character. I think in part I tend to like brilliant, asshole protagonists like Sherlock and Sheldon and Gru, but also because over the course of 30 issues I got to…
I think Arrow needs to step it up. I've been thinking about it a lot this season, especially after the Birds of Prey episode. It feels like there's something lacking.
