That's why I said I'm still trying to be optimistic. It could end up better than I think or it could be a mess. A good example was I thought I wasn't going to like Arrow back before it came out and I ended up enjoying it.
That's fairly accurate. Though there's no season that I outright hate even if I'm not a fan of some things they've done like Olicity.
That about sums it up. Season 1 was good. Season 2 was great. I enjoyed the first half of season 3, but it ended on a whimper. Season 4 was everything that was bad about season 3 amped up to 11, and it made me pretty much give up on the show. I’ve only seen the first episode of season 5. I hear season 5 gets pretty decent, but I haven’t seen it yet, so I can’t say for certain. I’ve heard mixed things on season 6.
Arrow started very promisingly. But ironically, the closer they tried to make things to the comics, the worse it got.
Umm....I would just like to point out that Starfire was not a member of the team nor ever made an appearance in the Original Teen Titans cartoon Neither was what I would call their most well known member
Semantics, I meant the original CN toon. xD But good call on the old one lol. 70s, 80s, and 90s titans fan have a pretty diverse spread of original readers(so much so they made that toon). My point was more on the entire thought that "girls reading comics is a new thing!" is inherently flawed. They've always been there reading them and fans of them alongside the other media, but many learned early on how annoying many male comic geeks can be. I've known a ton that literally waited until the day after new comics arrived to pick up pull files simply because it meant less amounts of annoyances. Even the sitcom "Friends" pointed this out with one of the actors on Rachel Green's "list". She picked the original spider-man actor from the live action thing(pre-Raimi movies) and was teased for it. So this mentality of "Comic Geek girls is a new thing because it's mainstream" or how it was "Few and far between" is a male comic geek myth because women were deliberately avoiding them in the past. Same is relatively true for Tim Drake Robin comics having a larger female demographic than many may realize, and there were other titles directly made to appeal to that YA type audience during the 90s by DC. In the 70s this is relatively true too, and you'll see it in many ways stories were framed. Now the new thing is that women are tired of having to stay in hiding about what they enjoy. So it's not as much a quiet thing as it once was, because visibility matters for others that are afraid to get into it for the same reasons those women had to deal with. True for many of the toons too. Was actually one of the big reasons YJ originally was cancelled, because it had a larger female demographic than male and they blamed that for the lackluster toy sales even though the toys were mostly not that great. WB/DC may revisit a remake of Judas Contract later as one of their 'throwback material' animated things like the Adam West Batman animated film. But for right now, the current one was made to tie into the modern version of the team, and then spring board into a synergistic release of a comic more towards that using the modern versions. Which is rather funny because it started out as a Batman clone, because they couldn't do Batman. Which is later what gave rise to Gotham too. Original Arrow was pretty much "Batman that kills learning not to kill" alongside a few sprinklings of comic things, and trying to use the popularity of Smallville Green Arrow for name recognition, but differentiating itself from it. All because of WB/DC's Bat Embargo stuff and trying to find other ways around it.
Speaking as someone who for years worked in a comic shop, they must have been coming in after the store closed to avoid not only male customers but also all employees. Yes there are female comic readers in the US. Women have been a big part of many comics fandoms (the X-books and LSH leap to mind) since the 1970s, and female comics fans continue to grow in number. But it's not 1:1. It's not 1:10. It's not even 1:20. I'd love to hear it was 1:50, but I have a feeling it's not even that high, even with how much better it's gotten in recent years. "Few and far between" isn't a myth. Women are people. They aren't leprechauns able to magically vanish from human gaze. And "few and far between" doesn't mean there aren't a lot of female readers. It only means relative to the number of male readers.
It was , for about 2 seasons. Then it collapsed under the creator's need to add pointless drama and nothing having any consequence (lasting one anyway). The Flash got terrible even quicker, you know a show is pandering for views when they bring back the same popular actor to play other versions of his character.... 3-4 times!!! Even Lost only brought back Locke once.
After Discovery kinda less forgiving to shows. I'll wait until the reviews are out before looking into it but...the marketing has been...really REALLY off putting.
God I could not handle flash. I watched it for ages but it was a pain to watch. The only show I was liking was legends of tomorrow but I found it harder and harder to find the episodes online so I kinda gave up.
Nice to know. But I don’t really care about it now. Maybe if I find the DVD’s somewhere I’ll get them. But I’ve got other shows to watch.
The Flash had an amazing first season. I didn't want to miss an episode Sadly each season after has mostly been down hill with the exception of some crossover episodes and few good ones that don't contribute to the over all season plot each season. Arrow had a good first two seasons, but after that I think many of the better writer went to the Flash series, then they all left after season 1 of the flash. Legends of Tomorrow started out only okay but got better. Supergirl started out okay, and hasn't improved much with the possible exceptions of crossover episodes and the occasional appearance of characters like Superman. Sadly most of these series have fallen into Smallville style plots and writing that made the last several seasons pretty dull.
Titans - Episode 1.01 - Titans - Promotional Photos Titans - Episode 1.02 - Hawk and Dove - Promotional Photos
I was half hoping that we would first meet the original Dove And that he would die in the episode with his first appearance
Well despite what people have been saying it appears even in episode 2 Starfire is still in the hooker outfit. The more pics I see of that wig the worse it looks.
