why is the writing on OUAT so god damned sloppy

henry: "i'm never using the power of the author to do re-write stories, even if it means everyone i love suffering"
"ok, i need to use it to for the greater good - so i'll use it to summon the crystal from gold"
"damn. we can't figure out how to destroy magic. i totally cant use the pen to find the answer, and i cant use it to take the crystal from gold again even though he's clearly going to make everyone suffer again"

Q: Is Rebecca Romijn/Jennifer Lawrence Mystique's "natural" form?

Throughout the X-Men film franchise, Mystique has a form that she uses as a "default" human appearance, as portrayed by Rebecca Romijn and later (earlier?) Jennifer Lawrence. Is this form "natural" to her? If she was a non-mutant, would she appear this way? If she just wanted to form a human ...

Q: Captain America : Civil War, other super soldier

On Captain America : Civil War, bucky informed cap that there are other winter soldier or super soldier. my question is what actually happened on this scene? where the other winter soldiers started attacking the doctors and guards

Q: What exactly is "dwarf star alloy"?aa

Ray Palmer's ATOM suit is said to be made out of "dwarf star alloy". What exactly is this? Is it literally from a dwarf star? Or is it just a fancy name for something else?

Q: How was Spider-Man persuaded to join team Iron Man?

In Captain America: Civil War, when Stark recruited Parker to join the action, no mention has made of the cause for which they were fighting. All they talk about is how Stark could help Spidey essentially upgrade himself, and then bam, Spider-Man is OK with fighting well respected heroes like Cap...

Q: How exactly did Zoom fake his death?

In Escape from Earth-2 However, we find out in Versus Zoom that he did...something...with his time remnant to fake his death. I'm not sure how that works exactly. We saw earlier in the season that Eobard Thawne's time remnant still existed and was required to go free because chronologically, ...

Q: Is there a distinction between "important" MCU movies vs "spinoffs"?

I'm not a big superhero fan, but I did enjoy some of the Marvel movies like Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-man and Deadpool (Not MCU, as pointed out in the comments). I was never really into comics, haven't seen any of the Avengers movies nor any of the Marvel TV shows. I read this question abou...

marvel-cinematic-universe continuity

@phantom42 Read about that last night. I'm skeptical, not about the story itself but about what that means for Suicide Squad. I can't help but feel if Warner Bros felt good about Suicide Squad, they'd be announcing a sequel, not a spin-off around one character.

Like, I wouldn't be overly surprised if it turns out that Harley Quinn is the bright spot of an otherwise mediocre film now.

@DrRDizzle I think there is news about sequels too

@DrRDizzle As much i heard, people are reacting good to it and specially Harley. So it's not that bad idea but surely she need more people in her film to have it some meaning

8:37 AM

@AnkitSharma See, I've read that people are hearing mixed things, but that Harley is consistently good regardless.

@DrRDizzle hmmmm......from the start i was more positive for Suicide squad then BvS. BvS did disappointed me but i thing suicide squad can cure my burns

@AnkitSharma I hope it does, but I'm not hopeful it will, if that makes sense. Like, I want it be good, but I don't think it will be.

Hmmm, fair enough, i hope time prove you wrong ;p

@AnkitSharma Me too.

But deadshot eye reversal is bit weird to me

Q: Why is the lens eye of Deadshot reversed in Suicide Squad?

In all the adaptations of Deadshot, I have always notices the lens/patch on his right eye: Arrow Smallville Justice League This his how he is portrayed in the comics: But in the upcoming film Suicide Squad, the lens is on his left eye: Why is the lens eye changed from right to ...

@AncientSwordRage this question about finn & rey sort of has an answer here. boyega says that they're not, and that it wasn't played like that to begin with

granted, until filming is done, things could change, but it's just shy of a word-of-god for now

also i'm going to pretend that that user was suspended for plagiarism because almost every one of his questions were dupes.

11:59 AM

It's frustrating me that the highest-rated answer to this question is beating my significantly better (in my opinion) answer.

I mean it ends with "Spider-Man doesn't appreciate the seriousness of the situation", which we know is wrong thanks to Peter saying "You're wrong but you think you're right. That makes you dangerous".

user116211

@AnkitSharma: What's up? Enjoyed your weekend?

@MAFIA36790 It was good

Plan got some downs in start but all went well in the end

@DrRDizzle Didn't looked yet, so can't say much

user116211

Here comes Black Canary, sorry, Black Siren

@DrRDizzle a lot of that is just due to timeline, i think.

other answer has more than twice the voting time as you, and the US is just now waking up

some people don't bother going back to questions after initially voting on what they see is an acceptable level answer. i often dont

@MAFIA36790 watched it few days back somewhere but that lipstick is bleh

user116211

12:15 PM

@DrRDizzle From me, +1.

user116211

WTH Killer Frost and Reverb are still alive ;/

similarly, some of my late answers to old questions tend to languish despite having word of god quotes, because i often write them just before going to bed at night

like last night

@MAFIA36790 Did noticed that, might get answer in the episode itself

AncientSwordRage

@phantom42 VTRO then?

done

Q: Are Rey and Finn in Love?

As per the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens, are Rey and Finn in love?

reopen votes go here ^^

12:27 PM

I think it's closed for good

Just my opinion

dsepite having an answer from one of them specifically saying that they're not?

i had a great idea for a question

is ray aseaxual

also that guy got suspended for a month for copy pasting questions from some other website lol

but i voted to re-open

another morning of dealing with having to backfill code from prod into our codebase

thanks, boss

@phantom42 That's true, but I've still seen the other answer gain upvotes since mine has been posted. Ce La Vie.

fwiw, i upvoted yours

the other one is mostly wrong

12:41 PM

@phantom42 Thanks, and agreed.

1:09 PM

needs 1 more reopen vote

I edited it a bit more to be obviously less opinion based.

1:27 PM

@phantom42 4 RV, i think it will be open soon

joined a facebook group for our community because it's got some good content and local news that doesnt really hit the main newspapers, but some people use it as their personal facebook, like this guy who just checked into the doctor's office getting his colonoscopy

and no, i don't think it was by accident

the post or the colonoscopy.

1 hour later…

2:49 PM

@phantom42 I saved the question. I'm like, a hero, or something.

@JackBNimble you should be an avenger. where do you fall on the sokovia accords?

he's a secret warrior

3:38 PM

I'm amused how AoS thinks it is still in the same universe as the MCU.

Like 'oh you have to register your Inhumans because of the Sokovia Accords?'

But where was the ATCU and Coulson's magic containment boxes when they needed to lock people up?

You could easily hold Wanda in one of those magic white boxes.

3:50 PM

well, i dont know if wanda could be held. it's effective against inhumans so far, but "enhanced people" whose powers are derived from infinity stones may be more than it can handle.

didnt they just tie her hands up?

in the captain movie

would that even work?

hard to say. every time she uses her powers, she's doing something with her hands, so it's possible that hand movement is required

10

A: In Civil War, how could the prison hold this person?

For clarification, she did not throw Vision through several dozen floors; she controlled his density shifting (first, to allow the person he was holding to slip through his grasp...literally) to make him so heavy that he fell through those floors. In addition to restricting her hand gestures wit...

supposedly has an inhibitor collar of some sort too

or the collar just zaps the shit out of her if she attempts to use her abilities

@JackBNimble assuming Chloe Bennet's comments are representative, it seems like TV is trying really hard to stick to that story even if noone else is.

they should just say f-it and have AoS find an infinity stone.

heh

4:05 PM

"Coulson has the Soul Stone embedded in his fake arm. He got it from Black Bolt when he came to meet Daisy. Your move, Feige."

@-@

At some point Marvel will have to A. Connect the Inhumans movie with Agents of SHIELD. B. Make AoS officially non-canon. C. Cancel the Inhumans movie.

I think they are going with C

I am avoiding marvel TV ( except netflix), so i don't mind if they declare it non canon too ;)

there was a comment from feige a long time ago where he said that AoS was laying the groundwork for the inhumans

and that he was basically keeping tabs on that to figure out where to go down the line

but this was very early on in the inhumans showing up

4:20 PM

that was probably back before Feige got everything he wanted and movies went solo

but I'm banking on D) wait until AoS gets cancelled, then wait 2 more years, and hope no one remembers it.

Inhumans is off the scedule but apparently still happening. Probably

@KutuluMike it was

@RogueJedi Feige is personally a fan of Inhumans but has a seething hatred for Marvel Television. so he's conflicted.

> "In the case of The Inhumans, they’re blazing new ground. As we get down the road towards that one, we’ll see what the pieces are." He then tells that you will have to tune in to Agents of Shield, because it sets up for the Inhumans film, just as the comics. "Certainly, in terms of those backstories on some of those things. Knowing the comics, you can guess the kind of things you wouldn’t see on a TV show."

comicbookmovie.com/agents_of_shield/…

actually.. it seems to be from april of last year

i forget exactly when the shuffle happened

also: crappy of that site to reference badassdigest, but not actually link to them

4:55 PM

uh-oh

agents of shield just got bumped to 10pm on tuesdays

good lord.

as if there wasn't enough shit on Tuesday as is

this is the money season for AoS

they'll have enough episodes to sell stripped syndication

after that it's an uphill climb to get renewed

5:23 PM

10pm on Tuesdays seems like a bad time.

at least it's not friday nights... yet

I'm fairly indifferent to what days or times shows are aired, because I just watch them on Hulu a couple of days later.

i havnt watched live tv since 2003

other then the superbowl im dragged to every year

5:45 PM

@JackBNimble on a personal level, i don't care either, but for the time being, time slots still affect viewership/ratings

Q: What happened to Wolverine's memories?

When Wolverine wakes up in the mansion at the end of Days of Future Past, I was pretty surprised that he had no memory of that timeline's events. I was expecting him to have memories from both timelines. The other people in the mansion are not surprised to see him, so clearly he's been living th...

Q: Which superheroes have made in appearance in the Arrowverse?

The universe of the Arrow, Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow television shows includes way more than just the titular superheroes. My question is how many superheroes have actually made an appearance canonically? Please separate your answers into two categories: in universe as a superheroes and show...

arrowverse the-flash arrow legends-of-tomorrow constantine

@GreenObie His memories are like continuity. They come and go at the whim of the director.

@AgentObie does m/tv ban list questions?

oh, well, it focuses on heroes specifically, so more limited, but still an ongoing work

7:46 PM

@phantom42 I just realized he is answering his own question, which makes me not like it.

And he is missing Atom, Jesse Quick, and Wally West, the last two we assume will be getting speedster powers.

jonah hex, huntress, katana, and if he's going to mention harley quinn, then all of suicide squad

Vibe

They aren't heroes.

i know, but he mentions harley in his list

Hawkgirl.

I'm just going through a list of characters that have appeared in the Arrowverse.

hawk-annoying-dude

does a bad guy turned good count?

that guy with the sonic gloves that's now suddenly their friend after barry ~~screwed up~~ messed with the timeline

7:51 PM

Maybe?

He is from the comics though?

i have no clue

i figured most of the characters are

oh.

i dont even remember the guys name

mostly because i dont like him

I decided to drop an answer in.

I can't imagine they will ever be allowed to put Joker or Batman in Arrowverse.

missed katana

and i think jonah hex. he has his own movie. i assume he's a hero

and huntress

8:05 PM

Is katana a hero?

i forgot you dont watch arrow, right?

I don't know anything about her, but her existence on the Suicide Squad suggested villian to me.

the article i read about suicide squad said katana was confusing because she's normally a hero

wiki:

> Katana joins Black Canary and Starling as the third member of the Birds of Prey.

Huntress is like an anti-hero, even in the comics.

that question's going to get closed so don't spend too much time on it.

and technically Harley Quinn did not appear in the Arrowverse as she was never identified as such.

it was merely strongly implied

8:08 PM

I don't agree that the Joker and Batman have to exist for there to be a Harley Quinn

@KutuluMike what else are we supposed to do at work?

im on vacation.

Especially how fast and loose Arrowverse plays with origin stories

i'm going to san mateo on thursday

try not to burn the room down while i'm gone

burn burn burn you burn me

I'll put Supergirl as a potential, because of the CW purchase.

8:13 PM

@AnkitSharma References such as saying "Man of Steel" or Ferris Air are just that, references. They're not intended to make those heroes canon. My answer gives two examples of what kind of unconfirmed heroes I'm looking for. — Ethan 34 secs ago

so vague references are just references unless it's harley quinn

this guy is pissing me off.

Supergirl is clearly in the Arrowverse.

Heh

Maybe this is why we ban list questions...

Awww. got a down vote.

the fact that he self-answered within minutes of asking it annoys me.

but it's clearly a trivia question, and M&TV closes those with a vengeance

That self answer was even way weak and incomplete

@phantom42 hahahahah

I was going to suggest you migrate it, since he specifically says he cares more about the comics than the TV canon.

but it's a terrible question.

so we don't want it

8:18 PM

First rule of inter-site SE relationship don't migrate terrible stuff

this is a classic example of "I know the answer before I asked the question and if anyone disputes my answer they're just wrong."

Until neighbouring mods want them ;)

i went to see what you guys were talking about

and wanted to call him an idiot

@KutuluMike We have those guys too.

but remebered you get in trouble for that on these sites

8:20 PM

you just have to learn how to politely call people an idiot

Oh man, how did I miss the prominent character?

I'm missing Jay Garrick.

I dare you to claim the Speed Force is a hero.

Speed Force is not a hero if they let Zoom terrorize two Earths.

which they are basically indifferent too.

they're just trying to make Barry strong enough to stop him.

I think your answer is mostly complete, I can't think of anyone else we've missed.

They couldn't just take away his speed force?

8:23 PM

White Canary is kind-of a hero?

What about Wildcat? he is retired but was vigilante at some undefined time. And Green Arrow (Connor Hawke) — Ankit Sharma ♦ 9 mins ago

and she doesn't exist in the comics so it'll annoy OP

I put the man in the iron mask

any heroes from earth 2?

@KutuluMike White canary is in comics but i think some minor villain character

8:24 PM

that should send him over the edge.

The only one from Earth-2 is the fake Jay Garrick Flash.

oh yeah, you're right.

@Himarm Barry had some on speed dial ;)

she's just a completely different character

dc.wikia.com/wiki/Felicity_Smoak_(New_Earth)

does that count? :P

i only have 150 rep on movies, all i do over there is downvote people you guys link, eventually ill run out of rep

heh

8:25 PM

to quote @steelerfan

OMG

we forgot firestorm?

I don't as OP is weirdly specific for being so non specific

lawl firestorm

@Himarm so disappointing. You have failed this ~~city~~ chatroom

@KutuluMike Got it!

im to busy answering harry potter questions over here

8:28 PM

@Himarm They are on my ignore list ( not literally but my eyes are good in skipping them ) ;p

Shado was another anti-hero in the comics.

Yao Fei is a hero

John Diggle is now a comic hero

as of dec 2013

bleh, it's complicated

If we count Constantine and supergirl canon then we have more set of heroes

I think OP might have given up

@JackBNimble do you want me to upvote you for mentioning Holly speed force

@AnkitSharma Upvote me because it is the right thing to do, not because of the almighty Jay Garrick Speed Force.

8:36 PM

Bleh, i don't care any more about it, giving community some time to close it

Upvote me and then vote to close reason? Op obviously only wants to accept his own answer.

or the better one

Something terrible happened to The Flash.

I find it inconvenient when characters feel the need to prefix their name with 'the', thus requiring me to capitalize it.

1 hour later…

9:56 PM

the presidential election has now interrupted Agents of SHIELD 4 different times

i saw a car with a bunch of SHIELD logos on the way home. worst. spy. ever.

My car has a bat symbol on it.

I'm totally not Batman though... <shifting eyes>

@JackBNimble just call him barry. everyone else does.

Barry is going to have a hard time retiring with so many people (particularly villains) knowing who he is.
