KnightWing

During the train crash, my brain kept telling me that there was no way this was a weekly TV series. The fact that they were able to pull off that level of awesomeness with the CG was incredible. Of course, Flash and Arrow are both very smart with how they use their stunt and VFX budgets. Sort of the polar opposite of Smallville, where you'd often have Matrix bullet time for no actual necessary reason.

No. I love Katee Sackhoff, but no. Something about that just really doesn't fit, IMO.

Yeah, I haven't seen Winnick in enough to know her overall acting ability, but she certainly can match the physicality and attitude of Carol. And she looks exactly like her.

...I would be incredibly okay with Katheryn Winnick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNsKGUgGqqw

I'll echo the support for Emily Blunt.

I think Black Widow sort of needs another character there to work with, sort of like how Thor (thus far) seems to need Loki and either Asgard or the Avengers to work with. She worked really well in The Winter Soldier because of her contrast with Cap, and I definitely want to see her character fleshed out in more movies, but a solo BW movie might not be all that entertaining.

Yeah, right down to new Vader-related toys having the Rebels logo while toys of the same type based on other film characters don't.

I liked it okay. Twelve dealing with a small adorable child and then later basically having the TARDIS turned into a schoolbus was pretty entertaining. Also cool: the message about children with mental problems being legitimately special rather than simply messed up. The ending with the girl showing up out of nowhere, though... I mean, what?

...I really, really want to read that.

It's been all but officially confirmed that Vader will have an ongoing presence in Rebels, albeit a small one.

Wooden, no. One-note, perhaps.

I just wanna say I think it's really cool that you guys were able to have the above discussion in such a calm and respectful manner, especially in a thread where "venting" is expected. Props.

Funny thing, this is the actual press release for Age of Ultron: Grammatically, that synopsis says that in this story, the Avengers will fight James Spader and Paul Bettany will become the Vision.

Sora from Kingdom Hearts for me.

8-player battles, running at 60 frames per second at 1080p. Holy balls.

She's... kind of a good character now. It's weird.

The face-blurring thing was awesome. That's a Jay Garrick trick, right?

Ultimately Dick is a people person. Putting him on his own isn't all that interesting because that's not where he makes sense. Realistically, he's the kind of guy that would always want friends and allies around him anyway. Whether it's the bat-family or the Titans, he should be in a team book of some sort. I'm trying to remember; has there ever been a modern bat-family book, or has DC just always put the bat-family in all the other solo books? I guess Batman and Robin is the closest thing to one; a book like that but with the whole family would rule.

It was referenced early on that Dick, Starfire, and Garfield were all on a team together at some point (Cyborg might have been mentioned as well), and that Dick and Starfire were an item at one point, but that's about it.

Yeah, since I read it a few years after it came out, it was nice as a quick altverse story with some good repercussions for the main universe.

It was neat.

Which is one of the reasons I wasn't super-fond of the Nolan Batman movies' take on the universe, and I'm not super-fond of this one. This at least has superheroes being superheroes in it, which is great, but still. Why can't we have fun things? Marvel is running around with Rocket Raccoon and DC isn't even willing to use the primary version of Robin, their third most popular character.

This is easily my favorite of Series 8 so far. Loved the Batman Beyond vibe with Clara as the hero and the Doctor as her earpiece backup, loved the monsters, loved the imaginativeness of the story, just loved the whole thing overall.
