tv echo January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 (edited) From the TCA - hmm, I'm not sure I agree, but then I never read the comics... The real difference between Marvel and DCMarc Guggenheim was asked about the philosophical differences between the two universes since he's married to Tara Butters, one of the showrunners on Marvel's Agent Carter, and he's also written comics for both companies. Marvel, he said, is "the world outside your window," whereas, "DC is more aspirational and, you know, fantastical and hopeful." Neither is better or worse, he said, "They're just different." https://tv.yahoo.com/blogs/tv-news/-the-flash---arrow--tca-panel-033042973.html(Warning!

Morrigan2575 January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 (edited) I think his wording is off but if he's saying what I think he's saying then yes, he's correct. Marvel is about real, down to earth people with real problems. Marvel's stories (X-Men in particular) have been allegories for real world issues (racism, homophobia, etc). The Marvel heroes have always been more of the every-man sort. On the other hand, DC's heroes are generally larger then life and tend to deal in grander schemes.

Sakura12 January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 (edited) If were are going to compare the TV verse of Marvel and DC. DC may be winning in the ratings but Marvel is winning in the female representation portion. They have 4 strong female spy/super heroes on AoS, Melinda May, Skye, Mockingbird, Simmons and now Agent Carter with her own series. They also have Jessica Jones coming out in the next year or so. That's 2 female hero centered shows and 6 represented on screen, 7 if we count Maria Hill. According to Arrow they only have 1 female hero. Edited January 12, 2015 by Sakura12 Link to comment

Among primetime dramas, Flash's 1.5 (1.90 million A18-49) ranks 21st out of 42 shows*. [1.90 million translates to 1% (1.90 million out of 127 million A18-49) of the audience that watch the Flash.] Meanwhile, Gotham (2.5 [3.18 million A18-49]) ranks 5th. Therefore, though the numbers can be spun, DC isn't "winning" anything other than meaningless journalistic adoration**. *: Arrow (1.0 [1.27 million A18-49]) ranks 35th out of the 42 primetime dramas. **:This analysis, however, is very simplistic and does not account for the CW being a netlet or the exclusion of total viewership numbers. edited (again) because the number of primetime dramas was incorrect Edited January 13, 2015 by New Rules 14 1 Link to comment

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy that movie. I never noticed before though that Jenna Coleman (Clara, Doctor Who) plays one of the girls that Bucky and Steve go to the World's Fair with.

WaitandHope January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 I adore Paul Rudd and really almost everyone involved in Ant-man, but the trailer and promotional materials have me worried.

tv echo January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 (edited) That's funny because I had the opposite reaction. I was 'meh' when I first heard about the Ant Man movie and skeptical when I heard that Paul Rudd was going to be cast as the lead because he's usually associated with romantic comedies. I had no plans to see the movie. But having watched the Ant Man trailer teasers and seen the promo pics, I'm now considering seeing the movie... And I've watched ALL of the Marvel movies.

If I remember correctly, Kara is supposed to be 25 so at least that takes the teenage angle off the table. I don't think CBS could handle a show helmed by a teen. Even a 25 year old feels like a stretch for them. Link to comment
Danny Franks January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 I really think EBR would nail a Supergirl character. She's got that mix of bolshiness and quirky humour that would really lift the character above bland 'strong woman' notes. It's a shame there's no way for them to do it, other than some Illyria style body claiming storyline. And in the last version of DC's universe, Kara was a teenager, and acted like something out of a lolita story at times, depending on who was writing her. I don't know what she is in the New 52, but I imagine it's similarly over-sexualised. 1 Link to comment

dtissagirl January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 The casting notice said they were casting 22 to 26 to play Kara at 24: For Kara Zor-El aka Kara Danvers, the show is eyeing Caucasian females, age 22 to 26, to play 24. As the series’ mythology goes, Kara at age 12 was sent from her dying home planet of Krypton to Earth, where she was taken in by the Danvers, a foster family who taught her to be careful with her extraordinary powers. After repressing said skills for more than a decade, Kara is forced to bust out her super moves in public during an unexpected disaster. Energized by her heroism for the first time in her life, she begins embracing her abilities in the name of helping the people of her city, earning herself a super moniker along the way.

I just saw that Malese Jow is going to be playing Linda Park on the Flash. Well they already stole Wally West's character to create this version of the Flash, they might as well steal his girlfriend too. But better her than Barry's sister, because that is still too gross for words. As for Birds of Prey, any combination of the women they currently have available would be an insult to the name. Felicity would be great as Oracle, but the rest? Please. Even that picture of Laurel in her costume makes me laugh. The Birds of Prey are Oracle, Black Canary (the real one, not this joke), Huntress (same again) and possibly Lady Blackhawk. Anyone else is just a hanger on. Yes, Katana and Manhunter teamed up with them a bit, and even Catwoman and Powergirl helped out a time or two, but they weren't members. You don't just throw a bunch of DC women in there and say, 'there you go, Birds of Prey'. 1 Link to comment
Starfish35 January 18, 2015 Share January 18, 2015 I would have loved to see a new Birds of Prey spinoff, but...unfortunately they have a serious casting issue. Neither Katie Cassidy or Jessica de Gouw are very good actresses IMO. Even with a strong lead actress playing Oracle, I think the limitations of the other two would be a problem. It might have worked with Caity Lotz but I guess we'll never know. 4 Link to comment
calliope1975 January 18, 2015 Share January 18, 2015 I think that is just a little stupid...You give them the chance to create characters on TV that people like and then you take it away because you obviously don't want people to confuse movie and TV show. Why are they then having a Flash movie and a TV show at the same time? That is more confusing than having one SS episode per season on Arrow. All those 'behind the scenes' stuff regarding what can and cannot be done seems like such an uncreative approach. But in Hollywood money speaks the loudest language. Or maybe they are simply afraid people can't tell Arrow's Deadshot apart from Will Smith. DC's plans confuse me. They want to keep the TV and movie universes separate, but then kill potential TV franchises because of the movies. Some of their TV shows are connected but others are separate including upcoming animated series. We're going to have two Flashes (though Ezra Miller could be playing Wally West) which is apparently okay, but not two Suicide Squad's because that won't work. Marvel's not perfect and DC doesn't have to and shouldn't follow their formula but damn, DC is making it hard for me to figure out what the hell they're doing. 3 Link to comment

It's like the Teen Titans without Robin or Wonder Girl, or the X-Men without at least two of the originals or Wein and Claremont's second iteration, just doesn't feel like the genuine article. Both DC and Marvel have been guilty of diluting their teams with too many minor members in the past, but usually they return to the originals before too long, because that's what fans want.

He IS the Titans (or at least before DC rebooted that) I'd like the main 5 even if that may be hard with the Roy factor. Hence why I would never have considered watching that cartoon. But I know the current DC decision-makers hate Donna Troy, so it's hardly surprising that they'd try to erase her existence from that as well. The Teen Titans are Dick, Donna, Wally and Garth. Those are the core members and you can do without Garth or Wally, but not without the other two. Add Roy, Starfire, Garfield, Raven and Cyborg if you like. Or, if you're a fan of the next generation, then it's Tim Drake and Cassie Sandsmark, with Kon-El, Bart Allen, Martian Girl and one or two others. But still, Robin and Wonder Girl at the forefront.

They'll go for Cyborg if they're allowed because it won't look good having an all-white team, Garfield because he's funny, Starfire because she's sexy and Raven because she'll appeal to moody teen girls.

I wonder what it was about the actors who got on Arrow that sold them. (I know of someone who also auditioned for Thea. She's a good actress but Willa Holland would have captured the bratty teenage Thea better.) 2 Link to comment
foreverevolving January 20, 2015 Share January 20, 2015 I wonder what it was about the actors who got on Arrow that sold them. I'd be interested to see KC tape. because i really like to know what the hell it was that made her get chosen above the rest. Also i'd like to see Moira, Lance, Malcolm (although I get the sense they only auditioned Barrowman) and Oliver, and Felicity if there is one. 1 Link to comment
