I still hate Lincoln, and a lot of her stuff has his stink all over it. She is a lot better at being Quake than she was a super hacker though.

Sounds like the entirety of the Arrowverse
I wasn't feeling it anymore. I'll jump back into it when it drops on Netflix. Maybe. Honestly I can't stand baby Bruce.
The Flash is no fucking exception. It's just prettier. Both that and Arrow have garbage ass character drama and I got tired of Barry always getting his way, it backfiring, and everyone being okay with it. Arrow is just boring, and the only characters I like and am invested in (Roy and Thea) aren't doing anything. Stupid, convoluted relationship drama. I got tired of it, because the action and comic storylines aren't cutting it anymore.
The CW: Bad Dramas. I gave up on Gotham for baby bruce too, haven't tried Flash yet, liked the first episode of I Zombie, and gave up on Arrow after 12 episodes in Season one for drama reasons.

I don't like any of the live-action shows (except the Netflix shows which I like a lot). I've tried multiple times to get into several of them but they just don't do anything for me. The only two I haven't tried are Supergirl and Gotham and I doubt I'd get better results with either of them.

The ending didn't piss me off as much as that useless last arc with that uber op mutant dude.

Does anyone know when Justice League Action is supposed to come out?

Gotham Season 2 absolutely destroys every other comic show other than maybe the Netflix ones, imo. Even Baby Bruce has gotten gud.

I actually stopped watching AoS right in the middle of the two-part S2 finale because I realized I didn't like any of the characters, I didn't care what happened to them and I didn't care how the story resolved at all. It had a brief uptick post-Winter Soldier but none of the Inhumans stuff worked for me. When they became completely central to the plot I checked out.

I liked Gotham for a while but I gave up on it after Gordon was disgraced for what seemed like the 10th time.
The S2 finale was so much fun, though.
Mind you, I don't think it's great TV by any means but binge-watching it comes closest to replicating the feeling of barreling through a pretty good 12-issue storyline. The plot actually develops, unlike in Arrow, which is the same exact thing week after week.

I watched AoS all the way until the season 3 halfway point break. Meant to go back but... I just can't be bothered. Don't really care what happens in it.

SHOWS WHAT YOU KNOW
But yeah, I always forget iZombie but it really is very good. I've only seen the first season tho, waiting for the second to hit Netflix.
Unless it already has. Need to remember to check that.
The few episodes I watched were a lot of fun. Need to get back into it. Honestly I think it's on another level from all the other comic book shows, though. It's closer to what I consider quality TV.

I have no idea why we stopped watching this. We watched the first two episodes and really enjoyed them and then just...stopped. Other stuff must have come along I suppose. We will have to get back to it but first we are catching up on Girls (almost done), then Man in the High Castle, that Kennedy assassination show with Franco, and the Americans S2-4 in no particular order
And of course Game of Thrones every Sunday, we rarely go for appointment viewing but our asses are on the couch as soon as the kid hits the sack on Sundays right now
I would honestly even just say it's not a part of the genre at all. It's themes are loosely tied to the book at best, but what it does is something equally enjoyable in its own way.
That tease when she used the codename "Gwen"
My girlfriend fucking loves this show though, and I use it to validate all the money I spent on my iZombie page.

Love me some Appalachian/rural noir. At least that's the description I've seen used for that type of crime fiction. Stuff like No Country For Old Men, A Single Shot, A Simple Plan, Pike, etc.
That article is funny because I am also from Fl.
When I get done with my marvel binge I will go back to reading image stuff
The Arrowverse isn't quality television but I enjoyed the first season of Arrow moreso than Agents of Shield because it is about a colorful dressed dudes beating guys up. At best Shield is a copy of the other Weadon shows at worse it sometimes feels like CSI with Iron Man references.
That said season 2 was the peak for both Arrow and Shield and everything that has come afterward has had some good stuff but is mostly wasted potential.

I'm reading the sixth Criminal volume, The Last of the Innocent, and it's brilliant. It almost feels like a dark take on Archie. Like what if Archie later in life decided to murder Veronica? It's really one of the most original things I've read in a while. The entire series was special but this arc in particular ventures into the downright amazing.
God bless Brubaker and Phillips.

Finding out that Slade was the main baddie was hype, and Ollie fighting that super powered dude was awesome.

I was like whaaaaaaaaat at that recommendation
Lol bro. I'm a pretty whatever kind of guy when it comes to this kind of stuff, but 7 is just too damn young. Even from a developmental angle, a 7 year old doesn't have the reading comprehension skills for this shit. 7 year olds read basically the Call of Duty version of Goodnight Moon. Simple ass sentences that explain more complex shit in front of you. Instead of being told to go the fuck to bed, they get to read "The ocean has lots of fish. Fish can breathe under water."
the first recommendation was the original Crisis. i mean...you might as well tell the kid to fuck off.

Is it one of those "..and then things went horribly wrong" kind of plots?
