Q: What was going on with Oliver Queen and Flash at the graveyard?

Mason WheelerWarning: Major spoilers for The Flash season 2 ahead, unmarked! At the start of Season 4 of Arrow, we see a flash-forward teaser scene: Oliver Queen at the grave of a team member. The Flash shows up and apologizes for not being able to help out, and Oliver says he understands, because Flash was...

George Takei's comments about that were interesting.

Something like "Hollywood must think that we're idiots."
 
called out marvel specifically
it's a crap situation all around

A: Who Else Has Worn Tony Stark's Armor?

Himarmpepper pots in Iron Man 3, has also worn the iron man suit.

these other fools
 
but i wish marvel would just own up to it
"yes, we had to be PC for the money. we're sorry."
> I'm asking about armor either initially designed for Tony but then regularly worn by someone else, or specifically designed for someone else. Someone wearing the Iron Man suit for five minutes one time would not count.
 
NO
 
3:38 AM
potts doesn't really count based on that requirement
 
she wore it longer the 5 min
plus didnt he make her a suit anyway
in iron man 3
 
no, she's just wearing one of his extras
 
well boo
downvote me to hell
or upvote me to spite the patriacy
 
she wears it for like one day. longer than five minutes, but i think what OP is getting at is that it wasn't just a temp thing
 
i hate questions that limit the question extensivly after asking a main question like 7 times
 
3:42 AM
that said.. i believe potts has armor in the comics
 
good save
none of the others got that
still a good answer
 
hm. looking at 616 potts, it looks like the armor was designed for her
question is asking about wearing tonys armor
oh, wait.
nm
so yeah, there you go. change it to that one and you're golden

@phantom42 Will wasn't sent with knowledge of Hive. He was sent through as an unwilling sacrifice, along with the other two astronauts (who all believed they were on a discovery mission of some kind).
@JackBNimble It was meant to reduce the mass of an object, I think.
 
8:02 AM
I realise I'm just stirring the pot now, but a new article on Birth.Movies.Death confirms that a denied scoop they ran last year (or maybe even earlier) about the opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was recently confirmed to be spot on by Mark Hamill himself.
 
 
3 hours later…
10:39 AM
what? the hand thing?
that whole story smells
it sounds like one of the way out ideas lucas had for the original movies - not necessarily bad, but so far removed from the final version that it was clear he was just spitballing ideas at the time
 
11:01 AM
@phantom42 Well, here's confirmation from an unaffiliated site.
"I can tell you now that in the original opening shot of [Episode VII], the first thing that came into frame was a hand with a lightsaber, a severed hand that enters the atmosphere, and then the hand and bone burns away and goes sticking into the surface of Jakku, and this alien hand comes in - I don’t know if it was Maz but it was an alien hand who takes the lightsaber way - and then the movie proceeds as you see it."
Agents of Nothing: Chat about comic related movies and tv show websites.
 
yes, i read the story about hamill talking about it recently
a few sources are running it
my point is that if you read the early OT scripts/annotated scripts, there are a lot of things that were from such early concepts that they made zero sense if they were left in anything close to the final script.
what i havent read is hamill saying which version of the script this was from
because it sounds like something that had to have been from a very early script
 
@phantom42 Devin reported it in mid-2014, so I'd guess whatever version of the script was floating around then; certainly not a Lucas version. My point is more that a scoop from Devin that was widely denied and derided at the time has later turned out to be bang on the money.
 
dude.
we don't care about BMD anymore
 
Well for some reason I do.
 
because you're a BMD fanboi, obviously. it's ok, we accept you for who you are.
 
11:15 AM
@KutuluMike I'd find that hard to deny. It's my most frequented film/TV site for sure.
 
I have moved on to insanely awesome Game of Thrones theories.
to whit: Hodor is a warg who got stuck in a horse.
 
@KutuluMike I really need to start watching the newest season, but my girlfriend and I just aren't that interested in it for some reason, despite loving the show until now.
 
so, i won't spoil anything really important then.
 
Like, we just can't be bothered to start watching it again.
 
but they did a flashback scene (I think maybe their first one?)
and it showed young normal Hodor
 
11:17 AM
@KutuluMike There was a flashback to a young Cersei in season five.
 
oh yeah.
 
@KutuluMike When you say normal, do you mean capable of speech, thought etc?
Or normal for Hodor?
 
so anyway, hodor used to be a normal, if gigantic, stable boy with a crush on Lyanna Stark
 
H+L=J confirmed.
 
no, a shy boy named Wyllis who had a "bit of giant blood in him" but otherwise completely normal.
theory: he was a warg. he warged into Lyanna's horse every morning when she took it.
he was warged into her horse when she was at the Tower of Dawn and it got killed and his brain is stuck.
Bran can warg into him because his brain is "locked away" and Bran will unlock it and Hodor will tell everyone Jon is Lyanna's son
 
11:20 AM
But that isn't how Warging works. If the animal dies, you just go back to your original body, don't you? And when you are in Warg mode, you don't swap brains with the animal, your eyes just go white and you lose control of your body (to some degree).
 
I'm pretty sure it's not that easy if the animal dies.
they keep telling Bran how dangerous it is.
and the idea is not that Hodor has a horse brain.
it's that his body is permanently stuck in "warging" mode.
he's basically lost all higher brain function because it was in the horse when he died.
and it will take another powerful warg to go recover it.
 
It's a cool theory, but it's pretty far-fetched. Why would her horse have been in the Tower of Joy at the time of her death?
 
because she rode it there, when she went there willingly the Rhaegar
that would be part of the deal.
 
How would Wyllis have remained Warged into her horse over the course of several months of war?
 
because he's a bored stableboy with a crush?
and all the fighting was down south
 
11:23 AM
@KutuluMike He still needs to eat.
 
ok well not all the time
 
@KutuluMike Well unless he's also the most powerful Warg in the world, who can take control of animals hundreds of miles away...
 
but you know, "she came and got the horse and rode with Rhaegar"; "they went on rides together all the time"; "one day she started getting really fat"
maybe it gets easier the more you do it?
 
@KutuluMike I suppose you could argue that he'd spent so much time in the horse already he could Warg into it from any distance or something.
But that's a lot of "maybes".
Still, I'm intrigued.
 
maybe giant wargs are just better at it than humans
 
11:25 AM
@KutuluMike Considering Wargs are meant to be rare, there are an awful lot of them showing up.
The books hint that both Arya and Jon may have the power too.
 
I think the book is hinting that the Stark bloodline has a deep connection w/ the older inhabitants of the north
I'm pretty sure the books hinted that all of the Stark kids could have been wargs, but Sansa is too "civilized" and Rickon is too small to understand it
Bran just happened to be in the perfect situation to learn to control it, being young enough to believe in magic and old enough to understand it and stuck in bed unable to walk
or maybe they just have some kind of deep psychic connection with direwolves.
 
But Hodor isn't a Stark. In fact, in the books his real name is Walder, which hints at a connection to the Freys more than anyone else.
 
no, but he's got giant blood, so you know.
unrelated note: I saw a commercial for a show on CW and it had all adult actors in it. I was confused.
 
@KutuluMike Does he actually have giant blood, or is he just tall?
I can't imagine that the giants in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire can reproduce with humans.
 
i dunno, one of the stark kids called him fat and someone else specifically said that phrase.
he appears to be about the same age as ned or benjen
i think Ned is the one who said it.
 
11:32 AM
Osha said it, according to A Wiki of Ice and Fire.
 
Osha might have said it in the books, but this flashback scene was ned and lyanna as kids about brans age. so obviously no osha yet.
or maybe she said it also, making it even more likely
 
Well, it's not like there aren't superstitious characters in this world. Tyrion is called the Imp and the Dwarf, but I don't think that's a hint that he's secretly part-either.
He's just small.
 
I'm 99% sure this scene has not been in any published novel yet.
 
true, but that sounds out of character for Ned.
also, just for the record, in the show his real name isn't Walder, it's Wyllis
 
11:36 AM
This sounds more likely, given George RR Martin's obsession with heritage.
Hodor's real heritage comes from ... "Ser Duncan the Tall because of his height and because George R. R. Martin stated that his descendant would be in the book. There is also the vision of Bran's in the cave of the three-eyed crow of a knight as tall as Hodor kissing a young woman at Winterfell. The woman is thought to be Nan and the knight to be Ser Duncan the Tall, when he and Egg visited Winterfell in The She-Wolves of Winterfell."
@KutuluMike This is an issue. If the show isn't canon to the books, there are a lot of answers on this site that no longer make sense.
(I realise that the show hasn't matched the books for a little while now, but at least things like character names used to be consistent)
 
well. except robb's wife's was a completely different character.
and theon's sister's name was changed.
 
@KutuluMike ...was she? I've read the books, and I didn't pick up on that.
Although in the show, Robb's wife was such a nothing character that I'm willing to admit I barely remember her.
And the books actually.
 
12:00 PM
@DrRDizzle i didn't say it was/might have been from a lucas version. even abrams team had a lot of spitballed ideas that got axed early on. they spent months coming up with ideas and doing art of possible concepts that would ultimately be completely unused.
eriq la salle cast in wolverine 3. unconfirmed if he will be pimping soul glo.
 
i have no idea where the writters of game of thrones are headed right now
were missing like 5 major armies
1 targaryan
and sansa's about 600 miles away from where she should be
 
12:17 PM
sansa's headed north to see jon isn't she?
it's not Arya, but still ABOUT F'ING TIME
that whole littlerfinger/sansa storyline in the books is about the creepiest thing in the whole series.
and that counts the two bro/sis couples
 
who knows where sansa's headed
i guess shes goingnorth
can we drop spoilers about got in here?
 
sure why not.
they were planning to go north before Brienne found her, right?
 
people are getting so mad about john snow
 
really?
 
there like, it ruins the plot if people can come back to life
but in the books weve seen it at least twice already
 
12:30 PM
are these the same people who spent the entire f!@#$ summer praying he came back to life?
 
and the books set melisandra up to castle black, so i assume martin did that to bring him back
my freinds who havnt read the book are so upset
 
the books are really strongly hinting that Melisandre is 100% right about her visions, she just pinned them on the wrong guy.
that Stannis was only a means to get to Jon
 
yeah, that jon is the one she wants
which goes along with the jon is a targarian theory
ive read rummors that stanis takes winterfel too
which makes sense he has a much larger army in the book
 
My original theory was that the plot about Jon's real mother was all misdirection.
I thought it would turn out that Jon was the son of Benjen Stark, Ned's brother who as a member of the Night's Watch was not allowed to have children.
In order to save his brothers life (breaking your vow is the death sentence), Ned adopted Jon and claimed he was his own.
 
12:47 PM
that's actually a good story but I don't know how the timing would work.
benjen was in the night's watch by the time of the war, right?
 
Oh
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire;
"During Robert's Rebellion, Benjen was the Stark in Winterfell, but once his brother Eddard returned to Winterfell shortly after the end of the Rebellion, with an heir of his own, Benjen joined the Night's Watch, for reasons unknown."
 
or maybe not. I'm not sure.
 
Welp, throw that out of the window.
 
ahahah alrighty then.
it sounded good.
 
we know that ned went to war to save his sister essentially
even though she didntneed saving
and somehow the sister dies but ned has a randon kid
its just too perfect to not be her kid
whether its a targarian or not is a slight toss up
 
12:50 PM
@Himarm Even though she might not have needed saving. We've heard a lot of different interpretations from various sources over the course of the show/books.
 
we know she appeared to like radgar
and that he was a good guy
so she probably was in love with him
 
@Himarm Do we? We know he liked her; I don't remember her showing any affection towards him.
 
1:09 PM
i thought there was some flirting at a tourny but i have no idea where
 
@Himarm He gave her a symbolic flower. AFAIK, that's all we know.
 
i guess the whole sand snake thing will get dorn to declare war
but its rude to the poor prince to kill him off, he was just biding his time waiting for that kid targarian and the golden company/companions to show up
but that whole plot is non existant at the moment
dam near every news site is like winds of winter this may?
with 0 sources
ima find him and kill him myself, before he dies of a heart attack
 
1:28 PM
I only recently realised that Dorne is the Southern part of Westeros, not part of Essos. Asking around my office proves this to be a common misconception.
 
theres like a mountain range between them i think
which made travel hard
so they boat
why dont people make full sized maps
i hate the internet
 
@KutuluMike O-o
@DrRDizzle What :O
 
@AnkitSharma It takes a lot of effort to start watching a new season of something.
 
@KutuluMike I don't think so, too weird to digest
@DrRDizzle I am just in love with this season . My fav are season 1 and 4 and maybe 6 now
@KutuluMike Is this theory also have horse and Lyanna sex. Does that means hodor mind+ Lyanna + horse = Jon Snow?
 
 
1 hour later…
3:12 PM
wtf did i just walk into where ankit is talking about horse sex
 
it got weird fast
 
3:36 PM
hahahahhaaa
weirder is better ;)
If others can make there fan fiction then why don't I
 
4:25 PM
Pretty bold to kill the star of your show in the second season.
 
4:35 PM
buffy died in s1
 
Was she saved by the speed force?
 
Joss Whedon really likes to write brutally murder stong women characters.
@JackBNimble which show are we talking about again?
 
4:52 PM
@KutuluMike i figured flash
odds on us getting two new speedsters thanks to wells?
everybody is jay garrick a speedster
 
100%.
wally got hit by that mess
and barry has become the speed force.
apparently, becoming a speedster involves being electrocuted while mainlining fingerprint ink
 
5:11 PM
Wally didn't have the fingerprint ink
I wondered about Jesse. Although she might get the speed force just for Zoom to steal it from her.
 
5:22 PM
hrm.
so Wally becomes Kid Flash, Jesse becomes Jesse Quick and goes back to Earth-2?
 
5:45 PM
If Arrow can have like 4 sidekicks that all use bows, why can't the Flash?
 
5:58 PM
 
6:21 PM
@JackBNimble by 4, do you mean 2?
even then, thea only really stepped up as an archer when roy left
 
well sarah can use it
thats 3
 
but she never does
 
and you can count that psycho harpy chick
 
she always uses her staff or batons
 
thats 4
:D
 
6:23 PM
the one that ollie put in jail?
kinda puts a damper on being a sidekick
 
she wanted to be
 
there was huntress with a crossbow, but shes gone
 
For those that want it; my 100% spoiler-free review of Captain America: Civil War has now been published.
 
the chick that worked on the suicide squad once or twice
whats her name
 
cupid
i think
the one in love with ollie
that fell in love with deadshot
 
6:26 PM
that tried to kill them on their fake wedding
thats the one
 
I've also posted it on reddit here, here and here if anyone fancies giving me a signal boost.
 
i have shared my wealth of upvotes
 
@KutuluMike He nearly killed Black widow for me in age of ultron
 
@Himarm You're a bae
 
 
1 hour later…
7:42 PM
so, Civil War. 3-d or no?
 
8:11 PM
@KutuluMike A good rule of thumb is that unless the film was specifically shot with 3D camera's, it will not be worth it.
Captain America: Civil War was not shot with 3D cameras.
 
k.
i already bought a non-3d ticket, i figure i'll be able to tell if it will be worth going back again to see 3-d
but now I won't even worry about it :)
 
i wish they sold non 3d imax around here
such a pain to be forced into 3d to see imax
 
As I said when Avatar came out and everyone was losing their minds; 3D is a gimmick that will all but die within a few years.
 
8:30 PM
It's all 3D near to me and i am not going in local small theatres, so no option
Only 3D
 
@phantom42 Seems like he has his sister, and Roy Harper maybe? And then Huntress occasionally... so... yeah, 4.
 
9:04 PM
thea is using roy's gear, though, so you can't really count them both at the same time
 
9:29 PM
has huntress shown up since s1?
she dated ollie for like one episode and then went off
 
Even cupid had bigger role then huntress
 
9:43 PM
i thought she came back once later on.
she dated ollie, then left, then came back again in s1 and left again?
 
Yeah
Anyways, she counts as a sidekick
 
and then came back once again like, way later.
didn't Helena come back in the episode where Sara returns and Sara has to save Laurel?
 
wikia says three appearances + mentions
last appearance was s2
last appearance, she was fighting team arrow
 
10:45 PM
i think her last appearance, the fbi was using her dad to try and set her up and laurel got caught in the crossfire and black canary came in to save the day or something?
 
yup
something like that
it was the birds of prey ep
so..new guy. in his interview, we asked "do you have any experience with any mvc style frameworks?" not a dealbreaker requirement, but very helpful. "yes, it's been a while, but i've worked with fusebox, cfwheels, and fw/1". you always assume that interviewees are always exaggerating at least a little bit, so i assume he's vaguely familiar with them, but not good with them. that's fine.
today: "i'm having trouble with this code because i've never seen anything like it..."
"... but this is exactly how all three major frameworks do things."
<blank stare/>
/sigh
 
alrighty!
civil war here i come
 
11:55 PM
i didn't know this before: colton haynes asked to leave arrow
