I'm actually really glad that they're holding off on the Big Bad question, because there's some fun narrative stuff in the movie that kind of revolves around that particular subject… Showing the "final boss" in the trailer would legitimately spoil one of the film's most interesting thematic subplots.

No foolin' this time. It actually is as good as the trailers suggest.

I would actually be down with a tuning fork crown, if they have the guts to try something that silly.

Liev Schreiber is good in anything. Literally f%$#ing anything.

Yeah, that's the problem with compulsive liars: without physical proof, it's hard to suss out the facts from the bullsh*t. (And for some liars, the proof doesn't matter to them one way or another.)

Could be! But I know it ended up in at least one documentary, and I have no interest in doing the work to fact-check it. My stomach can only handle so much.

"He does evil things because CW shows work that way."

Actually, I haven't seen it either… I saw pics and a description of the moment on a comic book movie fan site.

Finger died a pauper and a nobody; Kane made a mint and had an affair with Marilyn f#$*ing Monroe. All because Kane, while something of a hack, had a shrewd business-minded father and was a relentless self-promoter.

Eh… They've dropped the ball once or twice in the films, too. Scarlet Witch never really nailed a good superhero look, and Quicksilver… yeah. Plus, I'd call Hawkeye's various looks debatable. But otherwise, yeah, you're spot-on.

What kills me is that they actually came up with a cool-looking mask and look for a WWII-era Iron Fist that showed up in archive footage on the show, but then refused to get Danny Rand into a mask for even one scene!

It really did! And now they're finally giving him a helmet on Ragnarok, but it just looks simplistic and kind of mediocre.

Well, that's because the ladies have to do the fight choreography in those suits, just like the guys do. Apparently Caity Lotz was constantly popping out of her cleavage-baring Canary outfit during shooting of Arrow's season-two fight scenes— hence the lack of cleavage on any of the subsequent Black and White Canary

That was back in the days when Keaton's solid-rubber Bat-suit was the height of superhero costume technology. All told, it's AMAZING that John Wesley Shipp's Flash costume was as good as it was; he could even just barely turn his head!

Except Mockingbird, back in the day… but they dulled her costume down like crazy. And between her and Hawkeye, what exactly does Marvel Studios have against ridiculous flared masks?

I get why they're not doing the tuning-fork mask or the paper-fan wings from a logic perspective (because seriously, why would the acknowledged king of a race of moon people need to conceal his identity ever?), but I still kinda wish they'd done that full Black Bolt look, if only to make this team look a smidge more

Immigants, I knew it was them! Even when it was bears, I knew it was them!

(ahem)

So basically you're saying that Savitar's motivation is EXACTLY THE SAME as the one they gave the Reverse-Flash in season one: "I hate you because we are enemies in the future (for reasons that have not been, and probably never will be, explained in a satisfactory way), and also because I'm EEEEEEVIL."

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?!
