Yeah, after the B.D. Wong tip, it stops being fun and starts being real. Real shitty.

I agree, that's probably the most likely scenario. It's just too bad because the relatively quick succession of deaths in the books made for a solid mystery in terms of her powers — they all died by the hands of other humans, so was her magic really at play? Whereas on the show, if Balon's actual death is…

Username/comment synergy FTW.

Yeah, all that stuff with Earth-1 Barry spending all that time with Earth-2 Barry's family really bothered me. Iris should have been with her husband through all that, not some guy masquerading as her husband. Barry life-raped his other self.

It has been a while since we've seen anything official with the Greyjoys. Maybe his appearance is in the flashback to his death that happened earlier but we didn't see it yet? I dunno.

I bet he has a killer Michael Caine just waiting to be revealed.

Electric typewriter or GTFO.

That escalated quickly.

Did you know there's a direct correlation between the decline in Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it.

That's cool! I was kind of thinking it could work like that with a little bit more effort. I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks for the heads up.

I kind of think what makes cape comics so similar to ancient myths is less the pantheon of heroes/gods aspect — though, certainly that's part of it and the most obvious connection — and more how the stories are told and re-told and the myths (or continuities) are added onto by every teller. We only have a few ancient…

I have not, but I do find the idea of Spider-Man being the straight man to Deadpool pretty funny.

"different from the effects in any number of other superhero movie trailers"

Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by several hundreds pounds of optic blasts…?

It's not that the ideas behind the CGI are cartoonish, it's that the actors look like they're on a soundstage with a really big wind machine just off screen and the background is one of those motion posters. I'm sure the actual effects won't look bad, but the cinematography I've seen so far doesn't support them.
