Even though I knew Zari was from the not-to-distant future, you kind of take for granted the fact that there's a younger version of her in the present day. This show has veered so far from it's original premise that the temporal implications of Zari joining the team get glossed over; particularly considering that Nate has gotten involved with a woman who is technically like 25 years younger than him.
Sara: "It's time for us to fight back!"
As opposed to what you were doing before, which was what, sitting on your ass? Oh, right, relationship bullshit that involved you and Ava picking out fucking mattresses that represented long term commitment....
Gawd, I hope this baby dragon eats all of them...
It's not fair that someone like Gary is that fit....so glad he was wearing pants in Ava's office though.
Remember when any of these characters had uniforms/costumes? When was the last time Ray even wore the Atom suit?
Oh Christ, fucking book club again? It's like if Pinocchio's dumber, termite infested cousin was made into a real boy.
I love how the fairy godmother can't even believe this shit.
Once again, the show's problem is focused. There really should be no other story than the journey through hell to retrieve Ray's soul and stop Neron.
Even as parodies go, this is weak. If Gary is going to wish to be captain of the Waverider, then he should either be dressed as the White Canary or as Rip Hunter. I'd prefer the latter, mostly because the former would be terrifying, but there'd probably also be some mild humor in seeing Gary in the trench coat and sporting Rip's facial hair. As much as I probably would have bitched about it, they probably could have even teased this outcome at the start of the episode, panning over Rip's well established costume, only to reveal it's Gary. In fact, 14 minutes into the episode and I'm pretty sure this is where they could have started the episode and skipped the other bullshit.
Mind you, this is all contingent on the inherent need to do this story at all, which as mentioned above, that need does not exist.
So the Fairy Godmother was in hell for over 300 years - and yet, Neron pulled her out of hell centuries before she was even sent there....
Brandon Routh's performance as Neron is probably the one saving grace of this arc; and it also shows the squandered potential the series has if only the writers bothered putting in a little effort.
Okay, so the woman in the audience asking for "Ray's" proof of monsters, I think, was already established as a reporter covering this event, but just because she has a microphone for her camera crew, that mic isn't going to pipe into the auditorium...
And as presentations go, shouldn't Ray have teased the existence of monsters with proof of their existence before talking about his app and request to download it?
John: "I was going to be a demon proctologist, but the pay wasn't as good."
Yeah, that was good.
We're in hell, aren't we? Gary's story is proof that we - not the Legends, we the audience - are in hell.
So is the Fairy Godmother's magic teleportation supposed parallel Thanos' snap? Is that what they're building up to? Don't tell me if I'm right @deblovesbeccy ...
Man, they went from 0 to chanting "Witch" in 30 seconds flat. But I think the bigger problem I have with the chant is that it's kind of ambiguous; like, whether they're angrily accusing her or happily lauding her as a witch, the chant would be exactly the same.
And I know there are a lot of stupid people in world...just....so many stupid people.... but would they really all get immediately on board with the whole "witch, witch, witch" bullshit just because 10 seconds ago they learned magic and monsters were real and suddenly an otherwise unassuming woman in the audience is lumped into that danger just for being next to someone who disappeared? Some of them, maybe, but not everybody. I have my doubts as to how easily magic and monsters could be revealed to the world and unequivocally proven without some degree of doubt; even with someone changing into a "werewolf" or vanishing before your eyes; illusionists have done some pretty insane things in a world where magic isn't real.
Also, what's with the hick in the audience - at a fucking tech expo - who points out Zari, saying, "there's another one!" Wouldn't this room be more likely to be filled with nerds and academics, as opposed to people who are quick to making knee jerk reactions? Which isn't to say that nerds and academics aren't capable of that; it just seems like they went from a TedTalk audience to County Fair audience pretty quickly.
Why the hell is there a "Kid Steel" costume? And they know it doesn't look that different from the "adult" sized Steel costume, right? Like, I genuinely thought he was just wearing Nate's costume until Nate said something. Gary's not that much smaller than Nate; at best, Nate's just a little...thicker.
I can't stress how stupid the Steel costume looks. It's like if the Comedian from the Watchmen's costume had sex with Captain America's Costume. And not even one of the good Captain America costumes; like the first Avengers movie costume, but re-imagined by Joel Schumacher.
So the Fairy Godmother's idea of punish the legends and using Gary's remarks again them is to turn Mick into a baby....by putting the adult Mick in a playpen with a nook?
Oh FFS, his wish against Nate is bad hair and braces? Does Gary not know that Nate was a hemopheliac or...something...before becoming Steel and couldn't do virtually anything with severe risk to his life?
You know the one responsibility you have when carrying around a dragon egg? Don't forget to take the fucking dragon egg.
These scenes in hell aren't half bad; a little hackneyed in some respects, but John facing the people in charge is rather good. Just goes to show, once again, what they could do if they tried; and also, these side stories are a waste of time.
The Fairy Godmother lied? No, I can't believe it....
Apparently being in Ray's body makes him susceptible to some of Ray's stupidity....
