The JSA is quite outside the norm. Two black people. Obsidian in his comic form is gay and I doubt they'll ignore that since Johns is obviously a part of determining team makeup.
And despite that, they still assumed the white guy was the leader. There is some latent racism and sexism in there.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Wasn't it because he was old?
If you pick the old white guy, you can be racist, sexist and ageist. Equal opportunity discrimination.

Well, the problem might already be gone.
Just because you may aim to be more "progressive" super-team in the 1940's doesn't mean you probably still don't have certain ways of default thinking because it's "style of the time".
In that respect, I thought it was believable.
I said the exact same thing. They don't have the budget to pull that kind of stuff on a weekly basis so they shouldn't even bother to do it. It really took me out of the episode, which I thought was great until that terribad CG Nazi showed up.Sölf;221021392 said:
In fact, that entire chase sequence was D-tier. The Super Nazi is running right behind him and is concievably faster than a normal human, yet Steel has time to run slowly along side the motorcycle for a good minute before the Super Nazi shows up? Then the bombs are dropped (like 10 of them) and they only hit the Super Nazi at first? Who, by the way, was like 20 feet from them, so those bombs would've killed everyone in a much bigger radius. Then the 2nd wave drops and they only slightly get hurt???? I mean c'mon guys. That was just so poorly done.

The rest was great though, so I don't care that much. It's just the CG artist/game maker in me.
It is indeed believable, why I think it should be highlighted that they weren't this super progressive.

I find it hard to believe ANYONE would look at Jax and assume he was the leader.

Does anybody else like that super powers are kind of just becoming natural now in the arrowverse? Like with the Arrow episode and now the jsa and all that. Now they don't really have to rely on the particle accelerator.
I guess you could say that the development is a Mirakuru

Mirakuru vs Stardust (vs Vertigo): which is the better party drug?
Jax has been calling him "Grey" since they were first introduced. It's nothing new.
This Obsidian is confirmed to be gay.

Subete no aware
Apparently his powers only last an hour a day, so I guess he has to choose carefully when to use it. lol
so sad but so true.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Fun fact: CW was toying with giving Hourman his own series a little while back.
Pre-Flash and probably unconnected to the Arrowverse.

Do it in real time like 24 and make it so he has severe drug withdrawals without i
I'm describing Limitless
Just do Limitless
I just assumed the amulet gets passed on
Was the actual Limitless show even any good?
Surprisingly, yes. I didn't think it would be any good, but the casting was top notch. Of course, CBS axed it. But the ending was reasonable enough as a series finale.
Just finished watching the latest episode on the CW app and it was really good and cheesy in a good way. Nazi hulk looked bad but overall the episode was well done and Reverse Flash really shows why he was such an awesome villain in Flash season 1. I missed those end of episode Wells/Reverse Flash stingers.
Seems like Flash, Arrow, Supergirl and Legends have been doing well this year. Arrowverse > DC extended cinematic universe.

The version they were going to do dropped the "Hour of Power" in favor of giving him the ability to see an hour into the future.
So instead of the limitless TV show it was Minority Report, which also got axed.
When has that never been true.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
An Hourman series would be pretty easy to do. He'd just power up once per episode during the big fight. Genre shows have been milking that type of stuff for years. Flash even does it to an extent now. Barry almost always has a confrontation with the bad guy where he loses and they get away, and then a final act confrontation where he runs faster or whatever and actually beats them.
At least Hourman would have an excuse to not use his powers all the time and is not as op do probably more consistent. It should probably be set in older times in order to be more unique than procedural as well as superheroes such as Arrow and Daredevil.

Like 30s or 40s? That would be cool. I can probably admit that 25% of my enjoyment of Agent Carter was it not being set in the present. I'd watch the shit out of a pulpy noir with twist superhero show set in that era. But I gotta imagine the market for that is small.
Gotham sorta has that going on with its anachronisms. Actually I'd say it's the best aspect of that show.

Not feeling this season yet to be honest. I miss Captain Cold, and the chemistry he brings to the show.
Haven't watch Gotham, i'm just thinking besides his powers what differentiate him from the other vigilante shows we have. Plus i miss Agent Carter so that show with Hourman i will accept. If only they have an excuse to add Haley Atwell

I'm confused about Vixen: I thought she existed in the present day Arrow timeline (2016)?
Yet here she is hanging out with the JSA of 1942...
Is it the same actress? If so, does she play a different Vixen? (like the present day Vixen's grandmother, or something?)

It's a different Vixen with a different name and a different actress.
Ya'll really not paying a lot of attention.

One of the dumbest plot points imo. But hey, logic doesn't make good tv.
Different Vixen.
Might even be a Flashpoint thing. Like how Flash running back in the comics somehow meant past stuff before he was born changed too.
