Guest April 4, 2018 Share April 4, 2018 Do I want a scene of Oliver and Felicity holding their newborn at some point? Of course. I know SA especially would kill that scene. But I don't want it now. I want Felicity to have her own company and, you know, an actual storyline beyond one line about it here and there. If these were good writers they could explore Felicity juggling being a new CEO and a new mom along with Team Arrow duties but I know they're not and they'd use a baby to sideline her even more.

Starfish35 April 4, 2018 Share April 4, 2018 (edited) Black Lightning is still holding onto that 0.5 without The Flash lead-in, but just barely. Unrounded preliminary numbers from RJK at SpottedRatings: Quote The Flash (r) .................. 0.244 ... (0.258 ... 0.230) Black Lightning .............. 0.467 ... (0.462 ... 0.472) We'll see if it helps their numbers when The Flash returns next week. They only have two episodes left this season.

tv echo April 5, 2018 Share April 5, 2018 (edited) Karl Urban to Star in Amazon Superhero Drama Series 'The Boys' APRIL 05, 2018 2:30pm PT by Lesley Goldberghttps://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/karl-urban-star-amazon-superhero-drama-series-boys-1100208 Quote The Star Trek and Lord of the Rings actor has landed the starring role in Amazon Studios' straight-to-series superhero drama The Boys. The Boys takes places in a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame, and centers on a group of vigilantes known informally as "the boys" who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than blue-collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty. Urban, whose last series regular role was in Fox's short-lived sci-fi drama Almost Human, will play Billy Butcher, who is described as mysterious and brutal with a personal but secret agenda. He approaches Hughie (Jack Quaid), claiming to be a shadowy government operative. Butcher capitalizes on Hughie's rage over his girlfriend Robin’s (uncast) accidental death at the hands of Superhero A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) and enlists Hughie as part of his plan to bring down the superhero system. Karen Fukuhara, Erin Moriarty, Antony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Chace Crawford and Nathan Mitchell co-star. Supernatural creator Eric Kripke will serve as creator and showrunner on The Boys, which will be directed by Seth Rogen and his longtime producing partner Evan Goldberg. The trio will exec produce with Original Film's Neal H. Moritz (Prison Break), Ori Marmur (Preacher), Pavun Shetty (New Girl) and James Weaver of Rogen and Goldberg's Point Grey Pictures. Comic author Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson are on board as co-executive producers. The Boys marks a reunion for the Preacher team of Rogen, Goldberg, Moritz and Ennis. Sony Pictures Television Studios, also home to Rogen's AMC comic book adaptation Preacher and his Hulu comedy Future Man, will co-produce with Amazon. * * *A premiere date for The Boys has yet to be determined.

Starfish35 April 6, 2018 Share April 6, 2018 ‘Black Panther’ Passes ‘Jurassic World’ Domestically And ‘Frozen’ Globally — Box Office Quote Black Panther continues its climb up the box office charts. The Disney/Marvel superhero film has officially now crossed two big box office milestones: Domestically, with a box office tally of $652.5M, it officially surpassed Jurassic World($652.3M) to become the No. 4 movie of all-time. And, globally it passed Frozen’s $1,276.5M to step into the Top Ten movies of all time. It has grossed $1.279.2M to date. 4 Link to comment
Starfish35 April 6, 2018 Share April 6, 2018 ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Hits Tracking With The Potential To Open To $200M+ Quote EXCLUSIVE: Disney/Marvel’s Avengers Infinity War arrived on tracking today with numbers that literally indicate the movie could open to $200M-plus, easily on its way to a record April debut. Note this is an industry prediction, not one from Disney. The studio is historically conservative with their projections. The asterisk here is that when films chart this high on tracking, it becomes hard to predict their opening..... **** In unaided awareness, that portion of survey-taking where the person being polled brings up a movie title without being prompted, Infinity War has a huge 42, a score that’s higher than The Force Awakens (36, $247.9M), Black Panther (35, $202M), The Last Jedi (35, $220M), Jurassic World (24, $209M) and Avengers (26, $207M). Other strong indicators: First choice where Infinity War has an enormous 38 which is also higher than The Force Awakens (22, $247.9M), Black Panther (25, $202M), The Last Jedi (23, $220M), and Jurassic World (17, $209M), and Avengers (21, $207M). The pent-up anticipation here for Marvel fans is that Infinity War stars the entire universe (sans X-Men) including the newly Sony rebooted Spider-Man Tom Holland. Back on March 16, Fandango announced that in six hours, advance tickets sales for Infinity War already broke the 24-hour sales records of all previous superhero movies, including Black Panther, which in its first day was outstripping Captain America: Civil War ($179.1M).

tennisgurl April 6, 2018 Share April 6, 2018 Seriously torn about The Boys show. On the one hand, Karl Urban is so awesome, I would follow him to most anything. On the other hand, I read some of the comic book and...not a fan. At all. It seemed to me to be a needlessly mean spirited swipe at superheros by a bitter fanboy who doesn't even really understand that things that he is complaining about. Or, he wants to look like the cool kid who hates the popular thing, and that makes him smarter. I dont mind a darker superhero story or a deconstruction, but The Boys didn't seem to have much of a greater purpose beyond nihilistic violence and saying how lame and shitty superheroes are. And it wasn't even darkly humorous or satirical really, it was just pissed. Maybe it got better later, but what I read didn't make me want to read more. But, Karl Urban... 2 Link to comment
BkWurm1 April 6, 2018 Share April 6, 2018 Quote Will Sara get her wish to kill Damien? I don’t know, man. I have huge ambivalence about that character, who would have been so easy to dispatch anywhere along the line for whatever the five years he’s been in the Arrowverse. I’ve grown increasingly fond of him. I, in a strange way, love him as a Legend at this point. I feel like his love of his daughter Nora has entirely redeemed him. I thought that moment in the last episode where he told Sara that he would take it all back if he could, Neal totally won me over in that moment. Obviously Sara is a little tougher than I am, but I don’t know. I saw something in her, I think her will buckled there for a moment. Honestly, it’s 50/50. It would be so satisfying to watch her get her satisfaction, but I think she’s moved on since then. Sometimes when you get what you want, you realize that it wasn’t what you wanted. I don’t think Sara is going to get exactly what she has been hoping for all those thousands of times she imagined killing Damien. The season 3 finale of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET on The CW. I am fine if Sara doesn't kill DD, I even could live with them letting him go and insanely assuming he will be a better man. (They don't always make the best choices, lol) but I will do not want him "redeemed" and brought on the ship as a legend...even if I know the comedy could be gold. It's just a step too far. It would be BS level of redemption and I just can't. DD tried to destroy the WORLD. There's no take backs from that. 7 Link to comment

To be honest, JB can chew the scenery a bit much for my liking, which is why it's easy for me to get tired of him. He was good in season one of Arrow, and season two of Legends, but...a little bit of him goes a long way. But NM just cracks me up for some reason - he just plays the role with such delight. In spite of that, I totally agree that making him a Legend would be going too far. I can sympathize with his regrets regarding his daughter, but I can't agree that it makes up for trying to destroy the world. 1 Link to comment

statsgirl April 8, 2018 Share April 8, 2018 (edited) I thought that James Remar was on Black Lightning to be eye candy for me but now that I know that the man quotes John Donne ... yowza. Cress Williams talked about a family moment in last week's show. Was he talking about Jefferson and Anissa eating dinner? That scene really struck me when compared to the last Barry/Iris scene in The Flash. In the latter Barry asks why Iris didn't want to keep the meta speed and she replies that The Flash needs to be someone who inspires people (or something like that) and she's happy doing her thing with her blog. It struck me that Jefferson and Anissa, in spite of being father and daughter, are equal in a way that Barry and Iris have never been. Jefferson and Anissa fight together, strategize together, recognize the same strength in each other. Maybe it's because of the way The Flash is written, maybe it's because Barry is a superhero while Iris isn't, but Barry is way up here, and Iris is down below looking up to the amazing person that is Barry.
