OOTS #1181 - The Discussion Thread

[Riftwolf]

Gotta roll a 20 sometime!

Or maybe a 1...

Unfortunately rerailing uses 3d6...

I work in the DC sports media market.

Is RG3 nice in person?

I was a fan of his when he played for Baylor, and I hated seeing his knee get destroyed ...
(Yeah, this is off topic, but this is a one of a kind chance to get an answer from someone who knows)

I never met RG3, myself; those I work with who have met the man never had anything bad to say about him. My understanding "behind the scenes" when RG3 was still with the Redskins was that Dan Snyder spoiled the young QB and basically gave him carte blanche to overrule the coach, and that got to his (RG3's) head a bit; this created the perception that he was kind of a jerk, rather than the much more likely scenario that Dan Snyder just ruins everything he touches (it didn't help either that RG3/the team majorly regressed after his rookie year, either).

I did meet Kirk Cousins in person at a youth football camp. He was nice with the kids but a bit standoff-ish with the media folks (like not a jerk, just the minimal level of politeness required to get through the interviews). He was being hounded for autographs all that day, though, so I don't begrudge him that reaction.

Dan Snyder just ruins everything he touches

Besides that business that made him filthy rich; yeah, it seems that way. Al Davis he's not.

Thanks for the insights. We now return you to your regularly scheduled digression into Star Wars, or something like that.

Since we talked about Snyder and DC, we could talk about Justice League

Let's leave that particular can of worms buried in the bottom of the landfill.

So, with CW starting a series in the Bat-mythos, how long until we get someone Wonder Woman adjacent?

I’m hoping not long, I’d love to see Lynda Carter return as Wonder Woman and she does exist in some form on Earth-One if Kate mentioning her is to be believed.

I must say, I thrilled to see Crisis

It’s gonna be crazy and I love it, they shoved Lyla into a superhero costume and Pariah is there and a bunch of shows will show up and it’s already completely overshadowing most of the episodes (though Supergirl seems not overshadowed).

Much of what DC s lacking in the Movieverse is fully there on Arrowverse. Arrow has had its problems, but it's a pretty good series, and shows us what a Batman series might be. Flash is colorful and funny and heroic, and the three main characters (Barry, Cisco and Caitlin) are so perfectly matched. And let's not forget fan-favorite Tom Cavanagh, who's just brilliant in all his roles. Supergirl is light, colorful and heroic too - the people behind last iterations of Superman should learn from that. The S means hope, after all. Legends of Tomorrow is bats**t crazy, and gloriously funny, because it doesn't take itself seriously most of the time. Black Lightning had a great first season, and a not so great more-of-the-same second season, but it's still good. I'm eager to see Batwoman, and I'm also eager to see all the crossovers and references in Crisis, because they'll be referencing lots of old series and movies for all we've been seeing.

Edit:

Past crossovers have been fantastic. I loved Invasion, liked very much Crisis on Earth X, and still have to see Elseworlds, that seems to be amazing for all I've seem until now.

I know I say comic books aren't really in my interest, but I would be game to talk Super Friends.

See the crossovers are where I fall out with the whole thing because I have no (legal) way of watching the series as they come out and have to get them on dvd. This means that in order to watch the full crossover story I have to get three boxsets, if I haven't watched one of the series before I then need to either get the series before or read what is going on, I then need to binge watch each of the series to where the story starts when I prefer to go through one thing at a time. If I could get all the crossover in one place on each of the relevant boxsets I might pick up another show but I dislike feeling forced to.

Still, I might need to look out for supergirl and I certainly want to see at least one season of batwoman

[Monstar3014]

I apologize for being that guy. Is Rich doing ok? Usually, if there's this long of a break between comics, he'll post something on the home page.

Not complaining, just looking out.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Two things. Likely the next update will be a multipage thing, so that takes some time. Also, they just had to take time to scrub the Erfworld stuff from the site, which apparently was not as simple as it should've been (and hints to me that the site may go offline for maintenance during the between books pause).

[Emanick]

Also-also, he's probably hard at work writing the bonus strips, commentaries and the rest of the book's features. It needs to go to the printers in a little over a month, if not less. Crunch time for him, most likely.

[factotum]

Also-also-also, the subject of the comic's update schedule is a no-go on the forums.

[nolongeralurker]

Despite the fact that this comment will be read by probably no one, I wanted to take a moment to officially commemorate this moment in the Forum's history, as it leaves me feeling a bit nostalgic:

#1182 is now out, which means that this thread, the one for #1181, is now dead. #1181 features the (probable) last appearance of Hilgya until the epilogue. This means that the Hilgya debates, which have persisted for almost two years (since her return in #1105), are (presumably) now over (at least for a long while). It's the end of an OotS era, folks.

Someone presumes that the fact that Hilgya won't be on panel means no one will be debating her.

Neat. I look forward to seeing your hopes and dreams crushed. There have been active Miko debate threads within the last year.

I admire your optimism.

[goodpeople25]

Hilgya being gone from the story for more than a decade didn't stop Hilgya being discussed so yeah I believe that is a tad optimistic.

Some of those discussions were about if Hilgya would return to the plot but there were also some that (at the very least) reflect the more recent one. I tried my best to stay away from the debates and wait to see where the plot was going with Hilgya (tbh I think I still am) because of those discussions.
