From infant feeding to hospitalization, my intake of media is currently pretty limited by what I can stomach.
Which, right now, includes Superhero sitcoms produced by the CW..
Things..
- Brandon Routh and Grant Gustin are absolutely fantastic. I will watch them as superheroes, no matter what superhero they play.
- why does the gentleman who plays Arrow always appear to be wearing eyeliner? Like a tiny underdressed Eddie Izzard.
- the superhero costuming makes sense.
- the regular costuming makes absolutely no sense... There's should not be that many crop tops as casual wear. Why does it seem to be continually 1995? I don't get you, TV's DC universe.
- Did you need a reminder that comic books are actually, in their heart of hearts, soap operas for 15 year old boys? Look no further!
... These two are romantically engaged, talking about past life couple dynamics... This is why one should rarely engage in EXPLAINING comic book plots to anyone. Your crazy fever dream can be scary and alienating.
- there's one actor who's approach to the his character is to bark every line... It's actually fantastic.
It's so dumb. But so smartly dumb. So self-conscious, and yet not. Much like comic nerds themselves.
Onward.
