Nonsense, perfectly normal cat that does perfectly normal cat things.

Some other good responses to this, and I do get your point (and agree that it can be very frustrating when random chance messes up story beats). Personally I’d be interested to see more “diceless” non-random RPGs; the only one I can remember is Amber and it worked really well in the context of that setting.

I am sitting here laughing out loud at that idea. Thank you.

There’s a tie-in toy from Hasbro for Captain Marvel which hints that Jones may actually be the Flerkin we all know and love...

I think what they’re trying to say is that it would be about different situations and characters in the same world, as opposed to being a “true” sequel. It definitely could have been worded more clearly.

The first season covered them _getting_ their powers, finding out about their parents, and eventually running away. It basically covers the first six issues of the comic (the “Pride and Joy” arc) but also includes a lot of stuff about the parents that either came later in the comics or was never included at all.

I don’t understand how the Legends of Tomorrow could be running “a nine-figure deficit in a timeship” when before this season they operated entirely independently, and we haven’t seen them get any aid from the Bureau apart from using Gary as unicorn bait.

I might be misreading your post, but Dinah Drake is not an original name; it’s the original 1940s alias for the Black Canary. (With Laurel Lance as her daughter, introduced in the 1960s.)

The big change in the adaptation was to make the parents into actual characters rather than two-dimensional stereotypes. Which in turn utterly changed the character of the show.
The theme of the original Runaways was “your parents have a whole life you know nothing about.” The remake added “and they’re as messed up as…

Thank you!

Thank you!

Where is this from? I think I’d like to read the rest of that story.

Having grown up reading the Larry Hama GI Joe books (actually “Action Force” here in the UK) my innate tolerance for “ninja bullshit” is through the roof. So I utterly loved season 2. (I do accept that other people may have a lower tolerance.)

Someone on Twitter noticed that there appears to be a cat hiding in that poster.

35th. I do maths good.

I don’t think roleplaying was something that people understood well enough in 1983 for them to fit it into a premise that had to be covered in a twenty-second opening. I agree though; it’d have been better if at least they’d had them playing a board game. (Though if they had, would we have got Jumanji?)

Side note:…

The inspiration for this series, for anyone who didn’t read the interview Kieron and Stephanie gave, was: “I wonder what ever happened to those kids in the 1980s D&D cartoon?”

That’s the basis for some versions of the DC Universe (like the Young Justice one). Some people have the “metagene” which responds to life-threatening stress (such as being hit by lightning or injected with a toxic “enhancement” formula) by giving the person superpowers. (There’s even a group of heroes who had their…
