The Tick is almost definitely real (in some sense), as one of the goons who fight him in the warehouse talks about him.

I would recommend watching Peter Serafinowicz’s sketch show if you get a chance, as it gives you a good idea of his range. Also because it’s really funny. I LOVE YOU TOILET GUN!

Marvel have traditionally been very controlling in order to get directors to follow their “house style”. (Hence conflicts with Edgar Wright over Ant-Man, for example.) Unless it was an established director who was already fairly close to that style anyway, I can’t see them going with that.

They could be riffing on JMS’s Thor arc, which was set after all the Asgardians had died in Ragnarok. They gradually began to resurface as alternate personalities in humans whose lives had a resonance with the god in question. (Of course, this is in the comics universe where the Asgardians are definitely supernatural…

If the main character isn’t the captain, and the focus of the story isn’t the command crew, then they could probably get away with a non-human captain. It’d be interesting to see, but I don’t know if they’d go for it.

I read that more as that eh never had any noble intentions to begin with - the pursuit of “justice” was just a handy vehicle for self-aggrandizement.

Does this Joy taste like crab rangoon to anyone else?

The Hitman Bonus Episode is out on the 19th - new missions set in alternative versions of Sapienza and Marrakesh. (And possibly of the Paris stage as well, I’ve seen conflicting reports.)

YES! But he has to have the classic bowl cut. Would a friend do anything less?

Your “Marvel Suicide Squad” lineup seems oddly reminiscent of Norman Osborn’s Dark Avengers from 2010.

Yeah, I nearly mentioned that. I think it did actually have the public revelation that he was the Arrow too. (Also Leonard Snart is mayor, which is awesome.)

They may not have cared about that, or about Barry’s previous time travel stuff, but I imagine something on the Flashpoint-level of timeline disruption would have got their attention.

It could be argued that timefuckery on Flash is only possible because the Legends crew blew up the Oculus and took out the Time Masters. And given that the team decided to take on the role of protecting the timestream themselves, I’d hope they wind up heavily involved in the Flashpoint-style fun.

“I would paint my face with black and white make up to look like a Afro-Caribbean icon called Baron Samedi, or an Afro-New Orleans icon who is also called Baron Saturday. He is a spirit of death but he loves children; he’s very lustful, so he’s a conflict in forces. And I would put black contact lenses in my eyes so…

Ah, a good point. But presumably the Ministry funds all the UK ones.

That makes a huge amount of sense, actually. I can’t imagine they’d want to deal with untrained magic-users running around.

Nah, Rowling is a vocal supporter of the welfare state as she says it kept her alive when she was just an unemployed single mother with a story about wizard school stuck in her head. (It’s also why she’s chosen to stay a British citizen and pay all her taxes in Britain, unlike a lot of other rich people.)

I liked it - I was hugely annoyed that they killed off a good character from the first film just in order to show how badass the bad guy is, but I did like Moriarty (he reminded me a lot of the various incarnations of Moriarty in the Rathbone films, especially George Zucco). And the film does a lot of interesting…
