The Arrowverse Thread

They made me dislike Jessica Parker Kennedy.
An unforgivable act.

I'm not very familiar with Hush, but even I can tell Batwoman did him wrong. Cause he was not intimidating at all, and his mask was incredibly cheap looking.

I legit forgot who the new chick on Legends was. I know they're on a McGuffin hunt but don't remember why.

I up until this week thought Leviathan was a set up for Darkseid with Grandma being a character but now I have no idea what's going on.

Leena and Kara made up, I wasn't into the quasi bad Leena.

I don't know what any of the bad guy plans are or what's going on. Brainy is working with Lex against Leviathan but really for Lex something something.

Also don't know what's going on with Batwoman. I forgot or wasn't paying attention or something how the elder Fox's book played into things or what Luke found that made him not turn it over. Also something something Hush.

Flash I kinda get. The speed force is dying and Iris is in the mirrorverse where that woman is and her husband has used that to blackmail people something something. No idea what Elongated Man was doing or what that was all about.

I may not be actually watching this whole season of the Arrowverse as I am playing it sequentially in my presence.

Batwoman lead calls it quits

In surprise move, Ruby Rose, the star of the CW’s “Batwoman,” has decided to leave the television series ahead of its already announced second season.

The exact reason she is leaving remains unclear. But the show will go on: Warner Bros., the studio behind “Batwoman,” and the CW have both committed to creating a second season with a new series lead.

Um...wow.

Okay, where exactly is Stargirl set? The Multiverse went poof, but I'm fairly certain this ain't regular Arrowverse earth.

Earth 2, thus completely undoing the Crisis entirely. At the very end of Crisis on Infinite Earths they labeled the Arrowverse Earth Prime (or something like that) then showed a group shot of the Stargirl cast with the label "Earth 2" and then labeled the Titans on some other Earth. They also implied that the DCEU both existed and didn't exist in the multiverse continuum.

So now they're right back in their Black Lightning/Supergirl bind that an event like Crisis was supposed to prevent.

Well that renders the whole ordeal kind of pointless...

Yeeeeep. Honestly astounded. My only guess is that it was in development during the planning for crisis and there was no way to write crisis in, so they went separate earth.

I mean, DC also almost immediately undid Crisis, too.

I guess Flash didn't make it the end of the season before the shutdown. Season 6 just popped up on Netflix which happens when the season is over. Three episodes short of a full 22 episode season.

Yeah, they left on a cliffhanger. I mean it kinda worked.

Legends seems like it made it to the end.

And I'm just gonna say it...I like Star Girl and I wish their Earth was the main Arrowverse Earth.

Don't fret, season 6 is coming.

I like it too. Wasn't a fan of

them offing The Wizard before he got to do anything

but it's a lot cheerier than Batwoman at least.

I am not as on board with the Legends as you all are. Overall that show feels like a first draft more often than not. Or non-comedy writers trying to write comedy. But, to each their own and I don't hate the show, I'm just not in the same fan club as the people in this thread.

I thought it was an effective way to frame the drama of the show. She needed her Gwen Stacy moment and getting it out early was nice. They're obviously going to be building a new generation of people so we'll likely get some kind of new Wizard.

Also...who is taking care of that owl? Or is it going out and hunting on its own and just comes back to that perch to see if Midnight comes back?

I debate the effectiveness.

We knew that kid for what, like 3 scenes and maybe 5 combined minutes of screentime? It really kind of felt dumb that they tried milking the sadness out of a bit character we barely knew dying.

That's kind of the reason why Legends is my favourite of the bunch.
They all tend to be pretty badly written, cliche riddled messes, even if the shows aren't terrible, but Legends seems to be the only one self-conscious enough to lean in to the pulp factor.

Exactly. Even The Flash, which used to be the fun show, is kind of up its own ass with the drama these days. But Legends just says "Screw that" and has people fighting with shake weights while Sisqo cameos.

Welp, no more Ralph Dibny.

Great. The one character on that show who isn't a colossal buzzkill is gone.

[Juristonia]

I get it. Specially in the current social climate.
But Flash really needs to let go of the whole "everything is sad and whiny" Arrow routine and bring some of the earlier lightheartedness back now that they're basically without their last remaining bit of comic relief.

Maybe Cisco will quit being such a mopey douche now that Ralph isn't around to be the funny guy. Cause his brooding bullshit act got old a while ago. He doesn't even nickname the villains anymore.

I just realized that The Flash not making it to the end of their season means...this Harrison Wells didn't die or leave setting up yet another Harrison Wells. They'll either have to keep this Wells for two consecutive seasons or recycle him at the beginning of the new season.

I just wish they'd stop with Wells. It got old a while ago.

Stargirl needs to do more superheroing and less high school crap.

I don't care that this girl was a moron who sent nudes. But the entire goddamn episode was about that. Fight something, damn it.

I'm fine with it. It's an origin story, we're going to have to go through her whole new Justice Society one by one so buckle up.

I'd rather not shame people who send consensual nudes to each other and rather condemn people who break that trust and share them. It's like people are actively trying to make sure no one ever shows them a boob without first having to see an ad for off brand viagra.
