CBM Thread: The Boys Final Season premieres April 8; Invincible; Daredevil: Born Again

I laughed every time at "Hi Yukio!" "Hi Wade!"

Leave it to Deadpool to just casual drop the first openly LGBTQ superheroes into a film. The girl who plays Negasonic Teenage Warhead was gorgeous.

I left the film very excited about the prospects of Deadpool 3 in Mojoworld.

Apparently Terry Crews filmed his bit for Deadpool in one day. His family didn't even know he was in the film. Brad Pitt filmed his in two hours.

She is gorgeous. IRL she is openly lesbian, which is why they put that storyline in the film.
 
So it's been a week. I'm going to call it. We can talk about the Arrow season finale.

So much potential for next season. Been hearing about this film that never got made for years.

Exactly what I was thinking, too, when that final scene played out.
 
I just hope the next season starts with Team Arrow and Diaz both picking up the pieces of their operations and Oliver in Supermax and stays there for a few episodes. One of last season’s storylines was about John taking over the team and the tension with Oliver. Let us see John lead the team for awhile. Let’s see Oliver navigate Supermax and build relationships.
 
I'm really excited not so much for the supermax storyline but for the idea that Oliver is finally going to grow the goatee.
 
Another glowing review of Cloak & Dagger.

“What no one can gripe about however, are the performances by the show's leads, who are absolutely electrifying. Both of these young actors bring a level of emotion that no one else in the cast can match, and use their talents to connect to the audience on a much deeper level than anyone expects.

Make no mistake, Holt and Joseph are a force to be reckoned with. Their chemistry is outstanding, and they steal every single scene they're in. Theirs are the new faces of superhero television.”

I enjoyed it too. The baby legs scene....I laughed like a maniac. So did the whole theater. Not quite as good as Deadpool 1 as it is not as fresh now that we know the Reynolds/Deadpool formula, and it had some slow parts which could have been cut out, but a solid sequel with really great post ending credit scenes.
 
Briana Hildebrand (who plays Negasonic) is gay so that was a natural way to introduce some legit diversity. Wikipedia:

Of her sexuality and identity, Hildebrand has stated “I am lucky to say now that it is not frightening for me living in LA to be gay. Even when I was in Texas, I wasn’t afraid. I was kind of out in high school,” she continues. “I just could never decide on what label. I am glad that I am public about it and I think I should be."
 
I don't think wonder woman was a mild success. Especially if you have a daughter... or niece... A mother.
 
It was very successful on every measure. It made more money domestic than all but the top 4 grossing MCU films (BP and all three Avengers). It was the 7th highest gross comic book adaptation of all time.

It was a critical success (the only in the DCEU). It was a cultural touchstone. I don't know why they don't just hand the reigns to Patty Jenkins.

I had no idea Kristen Wiig was cast as Cheeta. That's interesting. I also didn't know WW2 was coming out next year. Didn't know Shazam was coming out in April either or that Zachary Levi was playing the title role.

That's been rumored for awhile and I haven't seen confirmation that Black Adam is in Shazam.
 
Okay, WW was a big win for DC. I think the JL flop that followed made it lose some shine in my head.

But It’s the only real win for DC. That was my overall point.
 
Yeah. That's true. I think DC had used up all their good will by JL. WW couldn't save it.
