96%? Well, there went any respect I may have had for Rotten Tomatoes as a barometer of quality…

And we got John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick! For three episodes! And then they trapped him in the Speed Force, because they hate Jay Garrick, apparently!

But Captain Cold is exactly what The Flash needs right now. A charming, fun, but still threatening villain who is smart enough to pose a legitimate danger to a team that includes two speedsters and Vibe. Miller wouldn't be wasted by coming back to The Flash— he would elevate the show with his presence.

That bites. The Flash just isn't the same without Captain Cold running around… (though to be fair, that show has plenty of OTHER problems to worry about, too.)

Oh, goddamn it… Did they basically just kill off Captain Cold AGAIN by sending him back to his proper place in the time-stream? Thus making the whole plotline with his return this season basically just a long tease?

It probably took Jay twenty years to stop making idiotic decisions. We just didn't have to sit through any of them as an audience, which automatically makes Jay my favorite speedster.

Mojo and Arcade are the kind of characters it would take Noah Hawley's touch to make watchable in live-action. If he wanted to do either one of them, I'm down!

There's no way this isn't somehow connected to the Shi'ar Empire. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense; that technology is WAY too sophisticated to have come from Division 3, which is basically a glorified S.W.A.T. team.

All addressed to Santa Claus!

Lark? Really? Wow. That's kind of lame.

Errr… well, I would argue that you managed to pick a couple of the stronger exceptions to my argument. Kamala Khan and Carol Danvers, in particular, have worked out brilliantly. Carol basically got a promotion, becoming the first Captain Marvel who was really worth a damn, and Khan was such a wonderfully…

While there is a history of comic superheroes swapping out identities over the years, I should point out that the majority of those switches that stuck were in the DC universe.

Well, technically, he's not Robin. Sure, he was part of that Robin vigilante gang in We Are Robin for a little while, but right now he doesn't really HAVE an identity— he's just running around in a yellow suit and a motorcycle helmet with a bat-shaped visor, and he doesn't even have a damn codename. Batman just calls…

Marvel just doesn't get it. The lack of reader response has nothing to do with the diversity itself, obviously; it has to do with their policy of diversifying their roster by replacing classic superheroes with new, diverse stand-ins.

Well, there ya' go. I doubt Hopeless himself had any particular axe to grind against those characters, nor any true passion to write a Marvel-themed rip-off of Battle Royale. It sounds like an editorial mandate; Hopeless just drew the short straw and had to write the bloody thing.

Uh, I don't know anything about those books, but I've been an avid reader of Hopeless's run on Spider-Woman, and he seems to be a funny, clever writer who skews towards upbeat stories and happy endings in that book.

Wow, that stinger was truly puzzling… but as I am a nerdy comic fan, my head immediately filled with some comics-based suppositions.

Even on just the basic level of the character rediscovering her identity, that's a flat ending for the movie.

Or you could just wrap all your thoughts up in "spoiler" tags, like I did for some comments I posted in the Logan review.
