[Lord Wraith]

Next person to nominate Sep for MVP is on my list.

[Master Bruce]

I didn't realize Iris was so loose. Maybe Bruce could stand to shack up with a speedster...

Also, post is up. It's literally maybe one third of what I'm writing, but I figured better to post that than to make everyone's eyeballs bleed right out the gate.

I feel like I've lost all possible votes for MVP in the nine days since this OOC has been active.

To be Superhero news related, going to watch the new episode of the Flash soon so I'll have a review up.

On a side note, I fell out of Arrow/Legends of Tomorrow after the Crisis on Earth-X Crossover, is it worth getting back into? Or is it just a slog?

You've missed the ship of being 'right out the gate'.

Second page mate.

...Annnd that's the other reason I decided to post one third of a post. I don't need you assholes showing me up already.

There's still a whole season left for you to do that.

Oh god. Those good ol'times. Clicking on a youtube video, get maybe five seconds of youw ant and then you just hear it start...

Good times.

[Mao Mao]

Man, we managed to post almost 1000 times on the ooc in nine days. Can't wait until we hit 10k.

By the way, how long do you think it will take until the game reaches New Years Eve?

@Star Lord

Well, Simple and I were jumping right in at Christmas... So probably do what you want and don't think too hard about the timeline.

[Master Bruce]

@Star Lord

Never. This entire season is gonna take place in the span of six days. Deal with it.*

Updated the roster, by the by. If anyone's not on there that should be, let me know.

_{*Honestly, I have no clue. I would assume soon, but who knows?}

Flash Season 5 Premiere - Spoilers

Pros: Cicada as a villain has the potential to be really twisted, dark and interesting. A different direction than the Speedsters, and even the Thinker. Which I feel is a breath of energy that the series needs, something dramatically different. Barry had to think fast to beat the Thinker, but this time he'll likely need another solution.

Nora/Excess. I feel like the actor portraying her has great chemistry on screen with Grant. There's just something between the two of them that works and I really buy that she's trying to connect with her dad.

Dibny: More Dibny is always good, it's great to see him back to his normal self and the idea that him, Caitlin and Cisco will be venturing on their own little sidequest to find out more about Killer Frost is a good way to maybe let Barry shine on his own a little bit more, especially as he seems to be filling the mentorship role for Excess, in a way he didn't for KF.

The CGI has also improved.

Cons: Timetravel, and messing with the timeline. I'm sorry but to me, the repeated use of Timetravel, worry about messing with the timeline and Barry/someone knowing something about the future that other people don't and are keeping it a secret because it could have consequences... it just doesn't do anything for me anymore.

Iris: The CW always seems to portray her in a way that I really can't get behind. Iris and Lois Lane are pretty similar characters, they both evolved from reporter/love interests. She just seems continually whiny, rather than strong. Dependent on everyone else, it just doesn't make her that much of a likeable character. I feel like she mainly suffers from 'She was always designed to be the love interest' so it felt forced, rather than natural. There are shining moments for her in this episode, but on a whole she's still on the line for me.

Extra: The Plane Phase was on point, I wasn't really into comics before the New52 (don't shoot me), so I remember the plane phase with Mob Rule, and it was a nice little mention and a nod to some form of inter-connection in continuity.

Shits getting real in Rebirth

[Torack]

Doomsday Clock is highkey one of my favourite current runs in DC. Holy shit tho!

To the people that use pictures in their posts, where do you find them? Especially the ones that are textless.

@Star Lord

I've been collecting scans and digital copies of comics for over a decade, so most of mine are taken directly from the source. I try to crop the text out, but if that doesn't work, I usually use Photoshop to get rid of the text manually. It can be time consuming, but worth it in the long run. I have over 200 Batman images that I've been preparing for this RP alone, with new ones being compiled over the last week for Batman's new costume for the season.

If you can't get your hands on scans or digital issues like me, however, I suggest Comicvine's galleries for your respective characters, Google image search for textless covers, or the Marvel and DC Wikias. Sometimes even searching for a specific artist helps.

@Sep

Yeah, you're a specific category of screwed. There aren't nearly enough images of Iris in that suit, let alone doing anything speedster-y. There are barely enough of Iris out of costume.

I'll dig into my Flash collection and see if I can't come up with some workaround. Maybe alter some Jessie Quick images to make her look like Iris or something. I don't know. No promises, but I know you're particularly in need of this kinda thing.

@Master Bruce

It'd just be nice to have some running images, that's all. The problem is I'm having Iris' suit so drastically different than Barrys so i can't really swing "That mostly red blur, yeah that's Iris in a red and yellow suit."
