Also, one of the original Zodiac members was Scorpio who also happened to be Nick Fury’s brother. Which could be a neat connection even if Samuel L. Jackson never shows up again

Hit publish too early.

Zodiac could be a cool idea. Instead of a shadowy spy organization with a whole bunch of henchmen like HYDRA, just have 12 powerful metahumans with an agenda and have SHIELD and the ATCU on their trail

I too am tired of HYDRA and hope that the recent scene where Coulson is looking at a screen being all like “I’m finally destroying HYDRA forever!” is a sign that they are going to disappear for at least a season or two.

I think it’s sort of amusing that they just had to go ahead and kill him to make me even moderately interested in him

I’ve been telling you guys for months, Snoke is Lord Voldemort who was horribly scarred when he got hit with that killing curse, but survived because he had a secret last Horcrux in a galaxy far far away. He tried to get plastic surgery to cover his scars from a malfunctioning 2-1B Surgical Droid at the Emperor…

Well... in the interest of not further provoking the ire of 90s fanpeople, lets just say they weren’t Days of Future Past, The Brood Saga, Chutes and Ladders/Magik, The 2 Phoenix Sagas, Mutant Massacre, God Loves, Man Kills, Lifedeath or Inferno.

The problem is you are reasoning about Captain America without considering the fact that we are talking about Captain America. Like classic Superman, one of the things that makes Captain America superhuman is that he actually can be trusted to operate without oversight. In the real world, Cap taking the position he…

It’s funny, if this was happening in the real world. Like tomorrow there were people with superpowers and I didn’t know them but they were going to start fighting crime and terrorism and blowing stuff up, I absolutely would want something like the Sokovia Accords. Because in the real world, people are horrible and…

I’m not sure I entirely see your logic comparing Project Insight to the Avengers. Project Insight, as Fury intended, was going to unilaterally murder people from the sky without trial regardless of whether they had actually committed a crime yet with Fury’s finger on the button. The Avengers didn’t walk into Sokovia…

Yeah the cartoon was definitely awesome and relied very very heavily on characters and storylines from previous decades instead of adapting the newer material.

Sure, because X-Men managed to start garnering mainstream attention in those years. Largely through the cartoon, which spent almost the entirety of its most successful season adapting a storyline from the late 70s-early 80s. That’s different from it being the X-Men’s best era.

I don’t think that’s a fair assessment. Supergirl’s problem is more that the budget is really high than that viewership is all that low for a freshman series. Compared to all of the other new non-comedy shows last year, Supergirl’s ratings have been on the high side, starting out at a peak and then slowly decreasing…

X-Men in their golden age

Yeah, shooting in LA has been a huge chunk of that. Also the special effects budget is sort of bloated and unecessary in my opinion. We don’t need a couple scenes of Kara just having fun flying around in every episode in my opinion. I think the show can be made quite effectively for a smaller budget. My only concern…

Supergirl’s big problem is the same one that Constantine had. There was definitely a strong audience for both shows, but the big networks are looking for big ratings and tend to authorize big budgets in pursuit of that goal. Unfortunately, the audience for superhero shows isn’t quite robust enough to satisfy the…

I think that would be the ideal resolution. Move filming to Canada where the Arrowverse shows were shot, reduce the special effects budget to around what Legends of Tomorrow has and increase connections between the Supergirl world and Barry and Ollie’s world with more crossovers. The crossover was one of the most…

I actually wouldn’t be entirely surprised if they used Cate Blanchett’s Hela from Thor: Ragnarok as the MCU interpretation of Death. In the comics, Hela has a close connection to Death that is variously referred to as being as simple as an agreement between the two that she manages the souls of the departed in the…

Also, I could actually see Sharon Stone as a decent Carol Danvers

If there really are multiple buyers for Supergirl, I have no doubt we’ll get another season. If CBS decides not to renew, there’s not much reason why they wouldn’t just sell the show and make some profit off of it instead of just sitting on it and making 0 dollars
