Board 8 > Comics TV Show Discussion Topic: This is an imaginary story. [Elseworlds][Arrow]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Aren't they all?

I think it's time for a comics topic because the Arrowverse is gettin' crazy! I think each show is honestly at the top of their game right now. Arrow is having its best season in years, The Slabside Redemption was incredible and stripped-down to basics which is such a natural strength for the show and in particular Amell's Queen. Felicity is still a bit of a weak-link in the cast but I'm really enjoying the other directions the rest of the cast is going in.

Flash started off shaky but yesterday's episode (the 100th) had some great twists and Cavanagh's Eobard always makes the show incredible. Cicada has been pretty compelling too in my opinion.

Constantine was an amazing addition to Legends of Tomorrow and again this week's episode was poignant and powerful emotionally I thought. Plus, the whole series in general has been doubling down on zaniness and it's a little hit-or-miss sometimes but most generally the former.

Then of course we come to the Elseworlds preview shown in each of the Arrowverse shows this week (besides LoT), with 90s Flash, a whole host of dead bodies, and the Monitor promising extreme crossover craziness.

And though not Arrowverse (yet?), Black Lightning has been excellent too, especially it's powerful racism commentary the past couple of weeks.

So yeah, comic book shows are doing pretty well at the moment I think!

I think I've read that Black Lightning is at this point just waiting for the right time to crossover with the Arrowverse.

I've had less time to watch shows this fall, so I haven't started LoT or BL yet, and I'm a few episodes behind on The Flash (but I'll be caught up for next week). Also haven't started Season 3 of Daredevil yet.

I was really disappointed when I found out LoT wasn't in the crossover this year, but otoh it meant I wasn't gonna feel forced to watch it concurrently with the others, so now we get to binge it later at our leisure.

I heard LoT is still actually gonna have some crossover residue in its episode, though it's not an official part of it.
