That’s because the Wii version is actually a port of Raw Thrills’ Fast and the Furious arcade game minus the F&F license and references, and the Cruis’n license bolted on (while also being poorly programmed for home). The GBA and the Wii title are certainly the black sheep of the series.

There’s stuff I like but more I dislike. It looks like a really high quality cosplay tribute to Cowboy Bebop by fans on youtube. Like it hits all the points one would expect and almost all of them strike me as being off. I guess we’ll see though.

No, it’s not just because it’s an anime. Whoever shot, edited, or directed the sequence didn’t have a clue how to make humans look good in an action sequence. None of the actors were moving with any sort of speed or precision, save the one shot of Cho doing a tornado kick.

Like, it feels like the video footage shot…

I think part of it is the actors not having voice training skill, part of it is the animation style. The flatness of the faces, particularly when it comes to characters’ eyes, saps out a lot of what actors would normally communicate through facial expressions and doesn’t really allow any way to compensate for that.

“Given that season 6 was an “agreed upon” ending for the series and not the natural end like Arrow, I think this was planned early on and the showrunners are just carrying through.”

Councilwoman Karen was a good villain, not nearly as sympathetic as Nyxly. She inadvertently killed her assistant for a sandwich, and was happy about it!

I don’t think Lena needs to be on the front lines. She’s always been able to contribute to saving the day without being an action character. If the writers really wanted her to be out there with the team more often there were better ways to do it. Some people had issues with Alex becoming a superhero but it made…

Wow, the Guardian looks great. It’s staggering how much Jack Kirby has influenced modern pop culture and yet, so few people know who he is or have bought Disney/Marvel’s necessary corporate narrative to dismiss him as just “an artist”- Kirby created the Guardian in the forties, he crafted Arrow’s origin story, he…

Magic mail. A Hogwarts Owl rushed the book over.

First of all, I’ll straight up say I enjoyed the hell out of this episode. Was it as subtle as that shot of Between the World and Me and White Fragility on Alex and Kelly’s coffee table? Yes, but I find that earnestness endearing. They let Azie Tesfai vent and she delivered, and I’m really glad the show found space…

I don’t think Dig’s green ring story is really continuing in a meaningful way. I firmly believe David just wanted to direct episodes, but the execs only gave him the gig if he’d agree to guest-star too.

This makes a much stronger case for Kelly being Guardian than it ever did for James. Her costume is better too, mostly because her ensemble is navy & gold. I also like her helmet’s slight Phantom Of The Paradise vibe.

I kinda like the notion that the main timeline has enjoyed a sort of quantum immortality, wherein it just happens that sheer luck kept the universe balanced on the knife’s edge.

Yeah. Saying he’s had the job “longer” is utterly meaningless, since multiple actors have been in more films. Technically, Timothy Dalton “had it” from 1987 to 1995, but his last movie was in 1989, so it’s meaningless to count those years when there were just no Bond films at all as part of his “tenure.”

Too many plots and characters seems to be a common Arrowverse problem. Even before they added William and Andrea I thought the cast was getting a little big. 

I watched this because it is a Mxy episode and I really like when they do comedy. The Mxy parts again succeeded. The cat laser pointer was hilarious. But they just have way too much going on, too many characters and too many plots to service. You have a great comedy guest star, they really should devote the entire…

Weird that Lena  is now having her version of Siobhan/ Silver Banshee’s story from s1,  inheriting her Irish family’s witchy powers. Maybe they changed the backstory to Newfoundland to make it less obviously the same

I loved Alex when confronted with the giant kitty immediately converting her Martian weapon into a bazooka. But Alex does not f*** around

Alright, the laser eye thing with the cat was actually funny. Well done Supergirl.

I have to say, it’s really great to see Mxy back just because in this Covid season I’d expect them to half-ass an explanation for why he’s not involved in a fifth dimension story.
