King Shark was just upset he didn’t get an invite to the wedding.

That said, the idea of Barry trying to speed-cram Devoe’s body under his couch or whatever is so ridiculous I do kind of wish they’d, like, had him swap bodies with Dibny or something just so we could see that happen.

Firmly on the entire other side of this, actually.

So like, The Santa Clause, but this time they use those friggin’ laser pointers like all the kids do with airplanes?

I mean... I would read it.

It’s always great when you’re watching a thing and realize “well, somebody working on this is a Deadwood fan.”

Great interview! Love the Random Roles where it sounds like they could go for hours with these stories.

I forgot how much I missed these people. You’d think sticking them into a series of corridors for two hours would be a a bad sign for what to expect from this season, but this was great and it looked cool as hell, too.

For me it’s just that they all still feel like real people – after a fashion – in Road Warrior, making Humungus and his crew stand out more. Fury Road is over-loaded with Moebius-esque grotesques and cranked-to-11 personae.

I mean, sure, there’s no arguing that Fury Road isn’t a technical improvement overall - relentless colorizing aside - but I would say the characterization (not just for Max, but everyone) in Road Warrior is much more sharply drawn and the aesthetic is, perhaps counterintuitively, more distinct.

Well... no. I mean, it’s fine, and it does some cool stuff, and it looks nice when it’s not an orange blob, but no. The hyperbole does a disservice to what the movie actually accomplishes, and pretending it tops Road Warrior is revisionist wishful thinking.

Look, trashing Woody Allen movies as stilted rough drafts that waste good actors is old news.

The CW shows rides a weird line where it’s so unsubtle when it tries to address that stuff that it frequently comes off as just weirdly patronizing. Maybe the real virtue is not that the crossover treated all its women characters better, but that it just had so many that they had to diversify their roles in the story.

Haven’t seen part II yet, but this is exactly how I’ve wanted them to be doing the crossovers this whole time. Take advantage of the concept and the inherent fun in seeing them all together to slow down and let it breathe, and basically make the crossover the point rather than have a musical chairs of guest stars. 

Honestly, getting some time away from Team Flash and a break from low-rent villains was kind of nice, and hey - turns out having a non-speedster, non-dickweed Big Villain actually <i>is</i> more interesting! Even getting shown up by Thawne/Wells in his brief cameo wasn’t enough to make Thinker look too bad in…

I was replying to Squamate Primate, not you. Kinja strikes again!

Here’s What You Need To Know Going Into Justice League:

“Just a prank, bro,” He said, as his eyes rolled back to reveal the Endless Void within, sloughing off his skin to reveal his True Form, a herald of the maddening eternity that awaits us when the Heat Death of the Universe shall erase all thought or feeling. “Just a prank.”
