flash was actually pretty fun this week.

the logic doesnt hold, of course, but that's kinda the norm for arrowverse now

savitar is a time remnant of barry. fine. time remnants are apparently at least partially immune to timeline futzing - hell, it's the whole reason they exist.

so if barry were to lose his memory, his time remnant - which now exists independent of him and time itself - should not automatically lose his memory too. but here we are.

Agents of SHIELD renewed for next season

KutuluMike

03:04

a time remnant from when, tho?

like, savitar/barry knows all about FlashPoint, which implies that he lived through it. but Barry wasn't with Iris in Flashpoint was he?

phantom42

if i understand it correctly... and they kinda blow through it a bit..

KutuluMike

iZombie renewed by CW

phantom42

barry makes time remnants to fight savitar.. savitar kills all but one. and the one that survives becomes savitar

which "savitar" gets trapped is where i'm a little fuzzy

KutuluMike

the Arrowverse shows, for completeness, were renewed a long time ago

phantom42

but savitar goes back in time to super-early and basically sets himself up as "the god of speed", convincing people he's a god

KutuluMike

03:08

Gotham renewed by FOX

any other shows we care about?

phantom42

making it extra fuzzy - when savitar is talking about remnants dying, he's talking about - and they show - a remnant from the zoom fight

hmm. not as far as renewals

KutuluMike

American Gods is also coming back but I haven't watch it, dunno how far they got into the book in S1.

phantom42

theres the gifted teaser out now i still havent watched

and casting news for new mutants (maisie williams as wolfsbane and some other girl i'm unfamiliar with as magick)

KutuluMike

Legion was renewed a while ago

phantom42

AG is being split into 3 seasons, assuming it gets picked up for all of them

KutuluMike

03:10

from the looks of it, that's probably a lock.

CandiedMango

Oh Phantom, offtopic but whilst you're here, is it you I have on xbox as phntm42 I think

phantom42

is correct

KutuluMike

pay-TV services go much easier on shows than network TV

phantom42

AG is getting really good responses so far critically and from fans. no clue on actual ratings

KutuluMike

ok, so what's been cancelled? Powerless was but last month.

phantom42

03:12

is it officially dead?

KutuluMike

yes. NBC didn't even air the last 3 episodes.

phantom42

last i read, the showrunners were doing a constantine swearing "we're not dead yet"

shame. it's a really funny show

KutuluMike

nothing else comic-book related on the cancelled list either.

Timeless went byebye, tho

phantom42

i keep seeing a vixen ad on cw's app

unclear if it's for a new season or what

i dont remember hearing about one

jennifer morrison said she's done with OUaT after this season, even if it gets picked up. she agreed to one ep next season

i heard there was a musical ep, and that it sucked.

KutuluMike

I believe Vixen is getting a season1+2 release as a BluRay or something.

> Warner Bros. confirms that Vixen: The Movie will bring Mari McCabe’s animalistic adventures to DVD and Blu-ray on May 23, along with a Digital HD release on May 8.

ah, that would explain it

i read a quote from berlanti saying that the big bad for flash next year wont be another speedster

thank god

Jack B Nimble

It will be two speedsters. Plot twist!

KutuluMike

that kind of eliminates all his major enemies we have left.

.... unless... it won't be another speedster. it will be the same speedster!

Jack B Nimble

That is the miracle of time remnants, you never die.

phantom42

> FEIGE: Well, I wouldn’t say you saw Uatu. I would say that you saw some Watchers. Stan Lee clearly exists above and apart from the reality of all the films, so the notion that he could be sitting there, on a cosmic pit stop, during the jump gate sequence in Guardians was something very fun.

if you want a direct quote dispelling lee as uatu, mike

KutuluMike

link?

collider.com/…

so, there's been rumors of a howard the duck animated series bouncing about... one of my friends just got hired as an animator on some marvel project, but he wont tell us what for yet (probably need to get him out for drinks)

Jack B Nimble

Why does anyone anywhere want Howard the Duck anything?

phantom42

i imagine the same reason people keep wanting more superman movies

Jack B Nimble

Umm, those aren't the same.

KutuluMike

practically the same.

aliens from destroyed planets that have sex with earth women?

they're basically twins

Jack B Nimble

And Alf.

KutuluMike

03:28

did he have sex with earth women? or just eat cats?

Jack B Nimble

Probably the same.

KutuluMike

...

was that an intentional pun?

Q: What is the maximum volume of a space suit?

In the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, we are treated to (major spoilers) Similar to this question, I wonder if a different resolution could have been possible from an in-universe perspective (I'm aware of the outer reasons that flew into the decision to move on with this). Drax, who...

Q: Is there music in space?

By 'in space' I mean the interstellar civilization that Guardians of the Galaxy and its characters all exist in, and the worlds that they frequent, of which Earth appears separated from. In Guardians of the Galaxy, Peter Quill still carries with him his old Walkman and Awesome Mix tape he had w...
