Not gonna watch that


You're not going to watch an event based on an Earth in which Nazi Germany won World War II and their evil versions of the main characters are Dark Arrow (Oliver Queen), Dark Flash (Barry Allen), and Overgirl (Kara Zor-El)?

I dunno. I've lost a little interest in the show. Too light. Zoom was cool.

Depends. Is Overgirl's sister still a lesbian, and are they going to turn it into a two-fer weeding?

Part of me wants that Nazi alternate Earth to be "Earth Trump", just so I can sit back and watch the online meltdown.

Crazy how they made complete shift in the tone of the show this season. It’s damn near slapstick


I couldn't think of anything to say about this season, this is it ^^^

And too bad Barry and Iris are a comic book thing. He could be dating hot chicks or hitting on Hazard and other good looking metas.

Since the Nazis won WW2 in Earth X, I assume Overgirl killed her.

I questioned whether or not they could pull Dibny off, but I like the route they went with him. And the special effect for his abilities was pretty good, and I liked how the other characters found the ability kind of disgusting.

ETA: And of course they had to make a Plastic Man joke.

This was a great episode. The best in a while IMO. They handled the tone very well, and the actor who played Ralph Dibney was great, as was Cisco and Danny Trejo. Lots of fun.

I'm psyched to see flash getting another sidekick that isn't another speedster.

Elongated Man is a great addition.

I'm interested in seeing how Katee Sackhoff plays Amunet Black (Blacksmith) next week.

Dude, I wouldn't be a very generous person and good fellow comic book fan if I didn't pass along this absolute gem of comic book series to read to you even if may be a fanfic story.

It's a four book series centered around Superman that enterwines the DC and Marvel universes together and the author has written about the most powerful and absolute version of Krypton I've ever seen. It also has Superman in a very dedicated and loving relationship with another Kryptonian but not exactly what you would think.

The story arc with General Zod was so amazing to read that I honestly believe that it's better than Man of Steel and the original Reeve/Donner movies.

It's so good I really have no idea why he's writing this stuff for free when he should be talking to Marvel and DC about a joint deal. The chapters are so long to read it can take over three hours to finish one single chapter.

It's called the Last Son Series and here are the descriptions for each of the books.

LINK

quote:

The Last Son, Book One: Gatherings
AU Season 1. In the early days of the Institute, Charles Xavier finds a young man with a great legacy: KalEl, the Last Son of Krypton. He will change the XMen's world forever.


quote:

The Last Son, Book Two: Reckonings
AU Season 2. Crossover with Superman. In his second year at the Institute, the young Man of Steel must deal with new friends, new foes, and growing public curiosity.


quote:

The Last Son, Book Three: Changes
AU Season 3. Xover with Superman and Justice League. Mutants are public knowledge. Superman is no longer myth. With this change the Man of Steel and his new team strive to make a difference in the world..but they and the X-Men have their work cut out for them.


quote:

The Last Son, Book Four: Destinies
AU Season 4. Xover with Superman and Justice League. In the wake of General Zod's treachery, Superman, the Justice League, and the X-Men find the world threatened by evils far worse than any they have ever encountered before. As prophecy begins to unfold, can the young Man of Steel and his fellow heroes defend the Earth against the horrors that loom to threaten it?


And let's not forget the spin off here....

quote:

The Tragedy of Nir-El and Ly'Neia: A Tale of the Last Son Universe
Before Krypton's Last Son ever came to Earth, Krypton was nearly drawn into the aeons-long Kree-Skrull War, which led to the development of the dealiest weapon in known space...but there is far more. This is the story of a distant ancestor of the Man of Steel, and an outcast Skrull princess. This is the story of Nir-El and Ly'Neia, and how their love shaped the Last Son Universe.

This season is so fun. I was wary when they were moving in a “lighter” direction after the Savitar stuff. But this is great. Hilarious how West announced his Girlfriend is pregnant

"Mayor Bellows" was Vito D'Ambrosio, who played Officer Bellows on the original Flash series in the early 90's. That series had a couple of cops that were series regulars, one seeing the Flash each week, the other doubting that the Flash was there.

I'm surprised that Richard Belzer hasn't made an appearance yet.

I didn't mind the tweaks to his history. Made the character a bit more interesting than just another good guy getting powers.

They made his nose twitch. That was awesome.

Yeah, and watching him trying to capture rogue metas with his powers should be pretty entertaining.

Great episode. I think Dibney will be a cool addition to the crew. Looks like next week we get to find out more of what went on with Snow during the time Barry was trapped in the speed force.

Also maybe I missed it but what happened to Julian?

He moved back to London. That was the extent of the explanation.

New episode was ok. Really enjoying Dibney. The feminism angle was pretty blah but whatever. Just hope this isn’t the start of Iris going back to being unlikeable again.

I don't know if I like Katee Sackhoff speaking with an English accent. (Or Egyptian if that's what they're going for with the name "Amunet")
