I can't say I'm super psyched about Hey Jude or Chuck for Guardians of the Galaxy. Bring back the Piemaker!

Sorry, but I really can't say that I love the new Wonder Woman that much. I appreciate the meddling, political nature of the gods in this adaptation, but the war-like Amazons, Diana's new demigod status, and the irritatingly dark costume feel more like a new direction that I'm not really happy with for the character,…

In addition to how silly grounded and realistic Godzilla sounds on its own, one of my concerns is how ungrounded and unrealistic Mothra and her fairy girls are. And considering that outside of the original Gojira and Godzilla vs. Destroyah, his best movies almost all feature Mothra (and her fairy girls) this is not a…

They did have a "music arranger/orchestrator" involved, Joseph Trapanese, on hand, who is also credited for the original music on Tron: Uprising. And the music on Tron Uprising, where it isn't going back over the Legacy soundtrack, sounds pretty good. So assuming Daft Punk still did the lion's share of the music, it…

Still not convinced Hollywood/DC/Warner Brothers/Zach Snyder are capable of making a good Superman movie. This didn't really affect how I feel in any direction. I'm not positive this will be Superman Returns all over again, I'm just not convinced it will really be above mediocre.

"This isn't a caaaaaaaaaaaauuuuugggghhhhhrrrrr."

"Can't" and "won't" is exactly the problem I'm talking about; I'm not at all saying Arrow "can't" have superpowered characters show up, I'm saying that the writers thus far "won't" do it. Whatever rules exist in these universes is entirely up to the writers, so the universe can't feature superpowers if the writers…

Yes, everything I've said is an assumption (mostly an assumption using Arrow as an example to comment on the state of superheroes in live action on television) but it's an assumption formed from a guesstimated trajectory based on what we've seen so far. Obviously there's bound to be flaws in my assumption because of…

I was actually unaware of the technical nature of his powers (although regardless of method, it boils down to him having the ability to induce vertigo in others at will, which boils down to superpowers, while selling, or even forcibly administering, a drug that has the same effect does not), and you're entirely right,…

Green Lantern was the top character who has powers and a relationship to Green Arrow; I mentioned him because as an example he works in the context of DC's only current live action show. And my point is not that not having Hal Jordan makes Arrow wrong, it's that not feeling like he's a possibility, or even just out…

This is exactly what I'm hoping for, and honestly, Marvel's upcoming Shield show probably has the best bet of bringing faithfulness to the forefront. I do have a shred of hope for the Wonder Woman show, mostly because the character herself is way more fantastical than your typical superhero so that you can't ignore…

You raise some pretty valid points, there are several interpretations over the ages of this (and most) characters. Where I'd like to see this show be more faithful is in the world itself (or the potential of the world) rather than to any specific story. They give us a rebooted Green Arrow who's several years younger…

I know. To this day, I can't think of a single good reason why the Green Lantern movie didn't just pad the pad the First Flight script to two hours and shoot that. It was a perfect introduction to the character(s) and world, and it felt like superheroes, not melodrama.

All true, and very well said. I was actually thinking about how much the crotch becomes a focal point without them before it was even mentioned here, although I noticed it particularly with Batman, actually.

I'm still waiting for the TV superhero boom to stick enough to reach the point where faithfulness is both doable and a priority. Arrow is good for live action, TV superheroes, but it's about on par with live action film superheroes ten years ago, the X-Men and Spiderman era. It's taking the characters seriously, but…

Anyone get the inescapable feeling that Felicity is heading for a wheelchair? Or else she gets hurt or killed and one of a redheaded wheelchair-bound hacker buddy of hers joins the fray to avenge her, or something? Because I'm finding it harder to believe that this resident hacker won't eventually lead us to Oracle,…

Not sure how I feel about this Themyscira, assuming the gist of these lines reflect the show's direction. I'm not necessarily happy about life there being hard and forbidding, but the "used to be slaves" bit sounds positively George Perez-esque. Which is good.

Everything that's been said by both Annalee and Rob has been very reasonable and feels totally legitimate. This doesn't end my disappointment, but it makes it hard to be mad at anyone. Sigh. Goodnight, sweet FFF, and may a flight of angels sing you to your WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS.

I guess having the team brought together to combat a single alien powerhouse who commands an army of nameless, faceless drones and has a personal vendetta against one team member in particular was inevitable, as it is the easiest way to introduce an audience to a superhero team (as evidenced by it being the go to…

I am relieved to hear she's not being renamed, but I will still have little to no interest if this turns out to be Pre-Wonder Woman Diana for the entirety of the show's existence. I'm fine if we see her in her traditional costume, fighting her traditional enemies, just starting at the absolute beginning of her…
