I remember references to "Bringing up Baby". Oliver would have been the Spencer Tracy guy.MG got that wrong too.

tennisgurl April 12, 2018 Share April 12, 2018 (edited) You know, I cut Caity some slack for some of the weird stuff she said at that con. I read a bit more into it, and it sounds like she was referencing some other stuff that had been said in fandom, and the whole thing was kind of an inside joke between her and Maisy and it was taken a bit out of context. Still questionable, but I really didnt see anything malicious there. Just my opinion though. And yeah, I know she has said other weird things, but she comes across to me as someone lacking in social graces and self awareness, and not real meanness in general. Those comments from Franz though...wow. Makes you wonder if he was written out of the show for more reasons than just them running out of stuff for Jax to do.

I don't mean romantically, of course, because hey, Olicity forever! But one of the problems of S3 with Ray is that his scenes with Felicity were just tonally off because they seemed like they were in a romcom on Palmer Island while Oliver was in "Misery" (Ra's being the Kathy Bates character). But they were fun to watch, at least when Arrow wasn't writing Ray as a creepy stalker. One of my fave scene was when Felicity was borrowing his helicopter :D 4 Link to comment

Starfish35 April 12, 2018 Share April 12, 2018 Some movie news: Spider-Man no longer Sony's highest grossing film Quote EXCLUSIVE: It finally happened. Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is officially the studio’s highest-grossing film ever at the domestic box office, overtaking Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man ($403.7 million) which has owned the title for the past 16 years. ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Outpacing Last Seven Marvel Movies Combined in Fandango Presales Quote “Avengers: Infinity War” isn’t opening for another two weeks, but the Marvel title is already on a record-breaking track. Currently, the superhero tentpole is selling more than double the amount of tickets on Fandango that “Black Panther” sold at the same point in the sales cycle. In fact, “Infinity War” is currently outpacing the last seven Marvel movies combined, including massive titles like “Thor: Ragnarok,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Guardian’s of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” and “Captain America: Civil War.” The upcoming “Avengers” pic, which opens on April 27, is pacing to be the Fandango’s top preseller among April releases, as well as the the top superhero preseller in the company’s history.

So he's never been really sane with his love interests. Lol. 2 It sounds bad, lol but I don't have a real problem believing his earlier connection is just the reason why he was so certain she was worth saving, not because he saw her at all still as a child, but because of the potential he'd seen before she'd been taken over. And he's bonded now more with the adult Nora than the child so I say bring it! She's been a bit more evil than I would have picked for Ray but she has a good excuse and his over the top faith and goodness works just perfectly with the opposite personality type. Oliver, Mick, even Damien (though oddly they do share the similar constant sunny smile so maybe Nora would be attracted in part because of her daddy issues, lol). I liked him around Sara and Zari for those reasons as well. But Nora also comes with a built-in spark and level of comfort between them that made them really fun to watch right away.

But neither is the Flash and I'm only getting small bright spots on Arrow. It's not superhero fatigue, it's crappy angst fatigue. I'm sure they always planned on going back to Kara and Mon-El and likely even always had this arranged marriage excuse planned but it's really annoying that because of how the actors behaved in the earlier episodes it feels like a retcon and like you said, married is married and in this case it was married long enough where they supposedly fell in love. So who cares if it was an arranged marriage at first or not? 4 Link to comment

The issue with this is that Kara/Mon-El were never this epic couple that the majority of audiences fell in love with. There's always been a split between Karamel fans and basically everyone else (Supercorp fans, comics fans, fans of the Danvers sisters, etc). Unlike WestAllen and Olicity, from what I've seen, there hasn't been a draw for the couple in the same way. So for them to go back to Mon-El/Kara, that likely won't pick up their viewers. I mean, the ratings for season 3 are lower, but they're just as inconsistent as season 2. 48 minutes ago, scarynikki12 said: I’m inclined to think the arranged marriage wasn’t originally planned.

I don't know for sure, but from the way Chris has played Mon-El, it seems like he was only told about Mon-El still being in love with Kara around the filming of 3x12 (the second last episode before the hiatus). Before that, he's been playing Mon-El very straight-forward and dull, in the sense that he's moved on from Kara and has grown (into a more depressing man) in the six years that he's been away from Kara. He didn't play Mon-El as someone who's still held a torch for Kara, despite only knowing her for less than a year before he got sent off, and he seemed to really care about Imra. Now, suddenly, they're going back on that, claiming it's an arranged marriage, he still has feelings for Kara, AND Imra is carrying some big secret? Nuh-uh, either they decided to go back to the Karamel stuff at the last minute, or they did a poor job in leading up to the switch (including Mopey "I'm going to let Kara die and Reign take over the world" Mon-El). 5 Link to comment

But they definitely picked up for some reason. Perhaps. Mon-El returned in the seventh episode, but the numbers were already picking back up at that point. Looking at the numbers, the season didn't go above 2 million until the midseason premiere back in January. It could have been the return of Mon-El, it could have been Reign, it could have been anything. Actually, I'm curious to find out why the numbers spiked back up to 2 million after the December hiatus. I don't want it to not just be because of Karamel, of course, but even putting that aside, I'm not so sure he was the reason for ratings to go back up. I'd like to think it was the crossover with Kara's epic fight (and her clap!) and Alex/Sara that got people to tune back in. Eh, either way, I'm still watching Supergirl for a few reasons (Alex/Kara's sisterly moments, the pretty damn good (IMO) three-act arc of Reign, hoping for more Winn) so it hasn't lost me yet. It almost did last season with Mon-El/Kara, so if they can correct the biggest mistakes they made with the pairing (mostly, Kara's sole arc being entirely about Mon-El last season, to the point where we stopped having scenes of Kara with her sisters or friends), then they may be able to get me back. 1 Link to comment
Starfish35 April 12, 2018 Share April 12, 2018 I think the thing for me, with Supergirl, is that I never had that moment of being totally in love with the show, like I did with the other three shows. For Flash, it was the first season up until the finale, and then the second season and the Flashpoint execution made me drop it. For Arrow, it was late season 1-early season two, and then trailed off after the season two midseason finale (but even then it took me two and a half more years to completely give up on it). With Legends, I fell in love with it in season two, and am still there, though there have been a few things recently that I haven't been thrilled with. But for Supergirl, there never was that moment of "OMG I love this show". There were things I enjoyed, although those things changed between the first and second seasons. But both seasons also had things that irritated me, and things that I didn't feel like the show had any interest in correcting. I guess that's why it was so easy for me to let it go after the second season. 3 Link to comment
scarynikki12 April 13, 2018 Share April 13, 2018 I love Gotham so much. Pengy's terror of Jerome in his meeting with Gordon gave me Dark Knight feels. He came so close to saying "he just wants to watch the world burn". If he had I probably would have dropped dead so it's for the best but at least the sentiment was there. Speaking of, RIP Jerome but we get to keep Cameron so I'm ready to see Jeremiah unleashed. Looks like Ra's is set to return and I'm ready for more Siddig. Happy Birthday Bruce!

They're going to make them suffer together like FitzSimmons! Pitch em against the universe! If anything, @Mellowyellow, 618 proved to me that they wouldn't do that to Olicity. Heck, previous seasons would have probably kept Olicity apart from this, but they ended even closer and reaffirming the same thing Felicity said in the previous episode. They basically clarified that "alone" just meant "being Green Arrow" alone with Oliver vowing he'd still be dedicated to being a husband, father, and mayor. It's FitzSimmons that I think took a step backward, especially when Simmons seems to be throwing everything Fitz did under the bridge ironically. 1 Link to comment

Velocity23 April 13, 2018 Share April 13, 2018 Quote “Yes, Maisie will absolutely be back,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim told EW on our SiriusXM radio show Superhero Insider on Friday. “We just felt like we owed it to the character to complete this arc, complete this story loop that we got her in. Once we took her off of her path in 1942, it was always incumbent upon us to return her to that path. That was something that hung over us as writers, and hung over the character… I’m looking forward to a different storyline for Amaya next year. We’ll reveal our plans for Maisie’s character at Comic-Con this year.” Rip (Arthur Darvill), meanwhile, sacrificed himself to buy the Legends time to escape from Mallus, though Guggenheim says it’s likely we will see the character again. “We love Arthur, we love having Arthur on the show, and I think Arthur enjoys being on the show,” Guggenheim says. “Because it’s a time travel show, and because we never saw a body, anything is possible. I think Arthur is totally willing to come back and play with us if we have a cool idea.” In our full interview, Guggenheim also discusses the return of Courtney Ford in season 4 MG talks about Amaya, Rip and Darkhs daughter returning in s4 http://ew.com/tv/2018/04/13/legends-of-tomorrow-season-4-spoilers/ 2 Link to comment
