On a scale of Octo to not-Octo, Peacemaker definitely felt Octo-adjacent at the very least. Glad you're giving it a go!

Wait, the "Discovery" in this context is like, the Discovery channel? What do they... have to do with WB? I can't ever keep any of this straight.The guy running HBO Max was one of the first heads to roll; Discovery's stated intention is on merging Discovery+ with HBO Max.
Discovery Inc is the corporate entity that owns/runs the Discovery Channel, among a few dozen others (of which I listed some of the more recognizable/noteworthy/successful ones). Several months back, AT&T cut bait on its media holdings and sold WB and its myriad subsidiaries/entities to Discovery Inc. Discovery Inc is now in the process of consolidating, and there's no way that's not gonna be a very messy, bloody transition - which is what all current indications point towards.Wait, the "Discovery" in this context is like, the Discovery channel?

I'm sure it's a ymmv thing, but I actually massively dig the religion talk. Specifically, they're having Halo - as a surrogate for the audience - explore what being Muslim means. Which strikes me as an infinitely more meaningful and instructive way to explore identity, being actually inclusive, and demystify The Other versus just putting a label on a character as the token minority and then moving along.This Young Justice season is leaning a bit heavy on the religion talk, which doesn’t do much for me, but I’m otherwise digging it.
This is precisely why I am so strongly against the idea that the reason SW Episode IX was bad was that that the sequel trilogy wasn't master planned from the start. There are lots of reasons IX is bad but the movies not being mapped out in advance wasn't, in itself, one of them, and VIII was great in part because Rian Johnson took the Star Wars box and shook it good and hard.Meanwhile every scene in something like Black Widow has to exist within the narrow constraints of "THE MCU" hanging over its head like the sword of Damocles. And I'm not even talking about how I KNEW HOW IT ENDED BEFORE I STARTED WATCHING IT. Everything in it felt... mechanical. Perfunctory. Precision made to serve a purpose and fill in a wiki page. It wasn't BAD but it never grabbed me.
But I wanna read more!But that's a convo for another thread.
Season 2 was a bit of a disappointment to most folks because people essentially wanted more Justice League and instead got Justice League Unlimited. Which I was fine with/really enjoyed, but get why the de-emphasis on the characters people liked was a bummer. Also, The Reach wasn't the coolest of big bads for a season long arc.I finally started with Young Justice a few weeks ago and am still working my way through Season 2. Season 1 was pretty good. Too much Red Tornado, a problem with any story that features Red Tornado.

Like the cgi show from 10 odd years ago?I didn't wanna say anything because I didn't want to spoil the surprise and joy I felt for others, but I'm already seeing it plastered all over google news and social media so I might as well just address it because wow was that awesome.
This week in Young Justice - the whole episode was basically episode 27 of Green Lantern: The Animated Series and oh my god I am just beside myself with joy at what I got to experience. As a big fan of GLTAS and sad that it got the axe despite being a really good show it's just so freaking incredible that after all these years we get something like this. Out of Young Justice no less! I really implore everyone who hasn't caught up to do so, Earth 16 is quickly turning into my favorite DC thing ever. The moment when Razer started dual wielding his blue and red ring was like, a bucket list fulfilling event.
Yes!Like the cgi show from 10 odd years ago?
Legends was fun, but I'm not really surprised. This last season had a sense of finality to it, where there was a LOT of consternation regarding the nature/efficacy of the group, a reunion of most of the former cast members, and a lot of storylines/characters given neat tidy bows to their arcs and seemingly written off the show anyways. It definitely had the feeling of a show that knew its time was up and that they were going to write things in case that was the case.The DC show that had the most fun being one is now over.
Also, I guess Batwoman was cancelled but did anyone notice? Seriously, you can't find it in Canada unless you straight up pay for it.
Don't worry, neither do them.I really don't know what CW is doing anymore.
