I mean, I don't want her in a suit so it's not the "never" in this instance that bothers me, but Marc saying that Felicity specifically would make the notion of superheroics "silly." Why? In this show

And then someone tells him that what he did was okay because of reasons, or that he can't keep feeling guilty, he just has to move forward. Like, no, just...go ahead and feel really guilty for awhile?

Wait, is Statesgirl saying that Chico IS the niece or that she does her job so half hazard that she SEEMS like someone that only got the gig because of a family connection?  

I thought she was just saying that Chico does her job like she doesn't have to worry about getting fired because nepotism.

With regard to Caitlin, I'd imagine that's exactly why - with how the season ended, they're probably trying to keep her whereabouts mysterious. Flash is being more tight lipped than usual with everything this year, but with so much of last seasons endgame being spoiled or at least widely guessed beforehand I guess it's understandable even if I don't like it.

Her name is Overgirl. They'll be doing what Legends should be doing and hopping around the mutliverse.

Still really doesn't change how awful and ugly this is lol I don't get the obsession of turning heroes into Nazis. First Captain America and now this? Nah... Hard pass.

Nazi's are safe.  They're in the past.  Anyone current they may make into bad guys (e.g. ISIS/Dayesh) may end up offending someone.

I know I shouldn't complain but why is Wally bigger than Iris?  Because he's a guy and wears a costume and mask?

The latter.  I know nothing about what's going on.  But I don't understand how she keeps her job, much less gets a promotion, when she's spending so little time doing what her job is.

I don't think it is nearly as bad as Capt but it could be a fun story. They'll probably pull designs from the mutliverse.

You forget that the man who was in charge of writing 513 (the gun episode) is in charge of this... So I have no hopes about this not being offensive in some way, shape, or form.

Agreed Nazis shouldn't be normalised or treated like cool story villains- especially given the state of highlighted racism that was the 2016 election.

Random but it irks me they made Overgirl have half the power of Overman.  Though I guess in this universe she's less Clark's Overman's cousin but his daughter-ish.

Yeah, from the sounds of it, Overgirl is more comparable to Superboy than Supergirl, as far as origin and powers.

Yeah,  it definitely feels like the writers did a binge watch of Young Justice and Justice League and mashed together Connor and Galatea's characters and added NAZIS.   Cause their so original.

Looks like these wall posters are pulled from / using images from the Invasion crossover poster.

They added Iris and Wally to the Flash one (I think that only HD Cisco and Barry), they removed the Alien from Supergirl and just left Kara and J'onn. Arrow is pretty much the same just different positioning. I can't find the LoT poster to compare.

Another Teen Choice Award nomination:

Choice TV Villain (#ChoiceTVVillain)

Cory Michael Smith – Gotham
Grant Gustin – The Flash
Janel Parrish – Pretty Little Liars
Josh Segarra – Arrow
Mark Pellegrino – Supernatural
Teri Hatcher – Supergirl

 

This was probably posted somewhere on the Arrow forum earlier but I only just noticed that GG was nominated as Best Villian as well.  I love that since they don't mention for which character, I can just pretend it's an indictment against all the dumb stuff Barry has pulled.  #neverforgetBabySara  ;)

Also good for Josh and Teri.

*sigh* It really saddens me that LoT doesn't get the same recognition. It's not the first (Arrow); it's not the highest-rated (Flash); it's not the zeitgeist darling (Supergirl). It's just a funny and endearing little show that's learned what it can do and does it well.

Agreed.  I've been a little down about the lack of Legends promotion myself. :(

Yep. And with Black Lightning now the CW's shiny new toy, I feel like it's going to be a lot of "LoT? What's that?" other than at crossover time.
