Watch the same people who call Felicity a Mass Murderer/Serial Killer for Havenrock justify BS wanting a weapon of mass destruction to most probably intentionally kill millions

They have all these stories and they waste a msf on her. She's overstayed her welcome.

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

Its funny that Arrow has been on this massive Daddy Issues kick lately, considering the MCU has also been on a Daddy Issues kick this year. All three of their movies from 2017 have had father/son or father/surrogate son relationships as a major part of the movie. I think its worked better in the MCU though, as they are still finding relatively unique ways to develop those relationships, and they're often genuinely complex and interesting, or lead to actual character development. Arrow Daddy Issues are just kind of lame. "I must do EVERYTHING FOR MYSON BECAUSE I AM DAD" every five seconds isn't super deep characterization.

PLEASE tell me someone snapped a picture of all the female leads at these meetings with Betlanti bc I can just see all them together arms crossed as he explains whats going on.

Is that a thing? I thought the main meeting was in Burbank, which I assumed to mean again this is primarily for the writing staff and less for the actors.

 Meanwhile, Jax (Franz Drameh) finds a loophole that could potentially change history, but it is a risk he is willing to take.  Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Nick Zano, Tala Ashe, Maisie Richadson-Sellers and Dominic Purcell also star.

So I guess Martin dies in the crossover and Jax will make one attempt to get him back.  

I was talking about this on the Supergirl board a while ago. Contrast what Legends has done with Victor compared to how Supergirl has handled Floriana leaving. Stein has had tons of storylines this season, got to interact with his family, they have been making up scenarios where he can do unusual stuff like the body switch or the lookalike evil ancestor. Now this summary looks like they might add an additional episode for a proper Jax/Martin goodbye because let's face it, no way they can do that properly in the crossover where all these other characters are running around and demanding screen time as well. This is Legends celebrating him to the best of their abilities for as long as they can have him.

DC Entertainment 2017...

DC TV - One of DC's top television producers (Andrew Kreisberg) was accused of sexual harassment by 19 women. He strongly denied the claims. 
Action Taken: Suspended (unclear exactly when, but Variety reported on the story on Nov. 10, 2017).

DC FILM - One of DC movies' top stars (Ben Affleck) was accused of sexual harassment by 2 women. He apologized to one woman but ignored the other one.  Affleck talked about the sexual harassment claims made against him, as well as his recent awkward moment during that Justice League press tour, on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on November 16, 2017.
Action Taken: None.

DC COMICS - One of DC's top editors (Eddie Berganza) was accused of sexual harassment by multiple women. He denied any wrongdoing.
Action Taken: Fired (three days after BuzzFeed's Nov. 10, 2017 expose about his 25 years at DC Comics was published).

A.V. Club (Nov. 14, 2017): "DC proved what people already know about most corporations: The motivation for corporations to take care of a problem isn’t going to be doing what’s right, but doing what results in the smallest PR problem. ... We’re still so wrapped up in Berganza that we haven’t started talking about the root cause of the problem, the misogyny and racism and ableism and homophobia that have run rampant through the comics industry for years."

Has anyone else started Punisher?

I've watched the first 2 episodes. Episode 1 was a little slow but ended on a bang. Episode 2 was really good, the show is setting up as an Espionage Thriller and I'm enjoying it. 

So far we have some good side/supporting characters.

Karen showed up in episode 2 and I'm seriously close to shipping Karen/Frank...screw Matt

DC TV Watch: All the New Comic Book Easter Eggs (and One Very Poor Timed Arc)

About that wonderful reference ... | ... Legends of Tomorrow served the ultimate mic drop at the end of this week's Helen of Troy-themed episode, when new team member Zari (Tala Ashe) decided to "hack" time and drop off the displaced Trojan in her same era, but not in the middle of the Trojan War where she would be the unwitting mascot for a war she never wanted. Instead, Zari took her to an island full of warrior women, where no men are allowed. If that wasn't enough of a clue to get fan tongues wagging, the chyron on the bottom of the screen confirmed in the final frame of the episode that the island was Themyscira, aka the home of Wonder Woman. Now this doesn't mean Gal Gadot's inspiring big screen Wonder Woman Amazonian hero is all of a sudden going to show up on The CW series (The Hollywood Reporter confirmed with Warner Bros. TV that this is just a fun reference, nothing more), but what a thrill to see that kind of comic book connection in DC's TV universe. More of this, please!
*  *  *
Wait, what name did she say?! | ... While trying to uncover evidence on a damaged and encrypted laptop, Alex mentioned sending it off to her friend "Chloe" who was really good with technology, and even had a "Wall of Weird." And with that, all Smallville fans let out a huge cheer. Of all properties or names to drop, no one predicted that it would be a Smallville character (especially since Smallville's Superman, Tom Welling, looks a lot different from Supergirl's version, Tyler Hoechlin). But again, what a fun twist of fate to hear the OG DC TV series get a fun shout out.
*  *  *
Awkward timing | The Flash is telling Ralph Dibny's (Hartley Sawyer) slow journey from corrupt, womanizing and skeezy disgraced-detective-turned-private-investigator into the heroic Elongated Man. But that may now be the most ill-timed story given what's happening behind the scenes with showrunner Andrew Kreisberg. During this week's episode, Ralph made lewd comments to all the female members of Team Flash as he predicted their personal measurements. The disgust on everyone's face was only a fraction of what viewers felt. This was a poor, tone-deaf creative choice on any day of the week but it's especially bad given Hollywood's current narrative. 
*  *  *
No more secrets | ....
Except for this one | Despite Diggle's promise to Dinah (Juliana Harkavy) that there would be "no more secrets" now that his are all out in the open, Dinah still kept hers. She still hasn't told the team that she let Vigilante (Johann Urb) go, or that he left her a romantic present. Going off of Arrow's track record, fans can expect this secret to explode in only a few episodes.

ComicBook NOW: 'Justice League' Reviews Too Harsh?
By COMICBOOK STAFF - November 16, 2017
http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/11/17/comicbook-now-justice-league-reviews-too-harsh-/

Quote

Debuting to a less than stellar score on the review aggregating site Rotten Tomatoes and some intensely harsh comments from dozens of critics, fans appear to be loving Justice League while the majority of critics despise it. Hosts Brandon Davis and Charlie Ridgely weighed in on the ordeal, trying to get a better understanding of where the negativity is stemming from.

"Critics are ripping Justice League apart," Davis said. "It seems like there is no in between. People either liked it, which is where I land, I really like Justice League, or it's the worst movie. It's like sitting on top of radiation is what these critics felt they were doing while watching Justice League."

"I don't understand that," Davis concluded.

"People who were at the junket and the premiere, they're tweeting their reactions to this movie," Ridgely added. "I saw a couple of negative things but it was mostly things like you said, like' There are some issues with this movie. There are some story things. I didn't like the villain very much but it was very, very fun. The characters had good lines and it was very uplifting and you left enjoying it. So, the transition from that, which was all critics...now seeing these reviews...I don't see where anyone's getting that from."

"I review a lot of the big comic book movies," Davis said. "I gave [Justice League] four out of five stars on [ComicBook.com]."

"It's not perfect," Ridgely said. "But it's a good time."

The line up of everyone looks so funny. Is that just me? I can't stop laughing for some reason. I mean, it's fun but haha.

And where's Diggle??? I can't find him in any of the pics. (In one of them Dinah's doing that dumb pose again which looks even more out of place in the line up. Why JH, why?)

Loving the Olicity, obviously. MY BODY IS READY.

It took me a minute to realize they weren't actually in a scene like that and the actors probably lined up for a publicity photo. The indoor one looks like a school picture.

In other news FFS JH you don't have to do some lame comicbook pose in every freaking scene. Look at the other ladies being badass without lame poses. ?

The one indoors is definitely a publicity shot. I think the one outdoors is from a scene but, I don't think they're all lined up like that in the scene. I expect they posed them in a straight line for a photo

How many are coming? Not that I'm complaining. I enjoy that they seated Mick next to the police captain. And Oliver's in the wedding party. Aw. Feels even weirder that they didn't throw in a mention of why he wasn't there for the bachelor party. Cisco probaly called and Oliver was just, Pass. 

I think it's our Felicity and Oliver.

I can't work out of the hugging pic is a red or green suit! There is a red rim where the arrows are but the suit looks green.

Black suit with red trimming Oliver is EXOliver yes?

I think it's Earth 1 Oliver dressed as Evil Earth X Oliver going to rescue Earth 1 Felicity.

So, Barry is the only lead who's not allowed to a have an evil EarthX doppelganger?

Which doesn't make sense because Earth X Barry is featured in the animated show but for whatever reason they decieded to drop him in favor of Wells 10.0

It's nice that Oliver is an usher but it feels like a slight to Wally, tbh.

I cant wait to see how they write Wally out of the crossover after the wedding.
