The Clone Wars, SW: Rebels, and the prequel movies were great for me. I wouldn't recommend anything past that.
Every other thread on this site is about wokeness. No wonder why IMDB burned their message boards to the ground.
She was OK. She has her place, but definitely not my favorite. She's also a huge hypocrite. Everyone is really, but her more so than the rest.
In some cases, they addressed it, like asking Ben as 3rd in command of a US Navy vessel to not stay in one spot for too long and look like he's talking to someone imaginary. With other people, he tries to "steer" by correcting it within their context.
Otherwise, I guess they just think he's crazy. I've seen scant cases of people talking like the way Sam Beckett/Ben Song do IRL. Folks just probably chalk that up to that.
<I>God didn't save your life. We did</I>
Sums it up nicely. Some will argue that god sent that guy there in which case, we can just argue that if I do something bad, it's god's fault :D
God is supposed to love all people, no? If god is able to kill me because he (supposedly) created me, then that's not a god I'd like to worship.
I just thought that she was doing that anyways. She just wanted to go to the clinic for an additional layer of birth control in addition to using condoms.
Initially, she wanted a real estate partner. He already had several properties (albeit, not good locations, and didn't sell, but I'm guessing that's still something to work with?). He took care of her, and did work around the house, the relationship etc. Otherwise, chalk it up to "plot", and they wanted more attractive women [shrug]
<I>Mostly I liked the show. I don't know why they had to have the Nick character guilty of a financial fraud ... because that makes his whole character a fraud. Why would Robert go to prison to have a heart to heart with a psychopath?</i>
My guess is they have a history, and know each other. Nick could at least draw upon that and get a fresh perspective. Sure, he could see strangers, or tell a therapist, but there can still be some honesty there. And yes, stealing $10 was enough to draw the attention of the FBI knocking on his door, but that doesn't mean he can offer good advice on his relationship.
Ditto. Not sure what the OP is referring to.
Robert got dumped by Jackie (hot real estate agent baby momma). It sounds like he's still going to part of her and their children's lives. However, he's still looking after his children from his previous marriage (with Frances/Sarah Jessica Parker).
Doesn't sound great, but hardly awful either
<i>As of now she's basically 'Wonder Woman' to most people. A lot of actors who have that one big role feel a sense of relief, almost, when it's over. You can see it with Daniel Craig who said he was fed up with playing James Bond.</i>
That's a solid example. He had no love for James Bond. He was pretty much only doing it for the paychecks.
It depends on what country. Some of them are shitholes. In the US, you'd have to move to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty.
Another issue is fleeing would be an admission of guilt. The part about his dad not wanting to leave his home still stands true.
Also, if both you and the other poster were willing to accept that "Barry's the hero" as the answer, then wtf did the question even needed to get asked in the first place?
<blockquote>They didn't need the full JL (well it'd have helped!) but just needed SuperMAN..</blockquote>
I figured it would've been the same difference. I can still see Zod's task force being able to overpower the resistance given. And that's not just because "Lord Plottus demands it". It seems like it would've been a case of "Superman is better, but he still wouldn't have been enough". If we were to examine it more closely, it seems like that invasion had more troops, better ones, and was much better coordinated.
Fleeing to Mexico or some other country wouldn't be acceptable. He wanted to be close to Barry. Even if Flash commuted back and forth in the "blink of an eye" like he literally can do, his father looked like where he was was his home. You really need to ask yourself if you're really free if you'd need to leave your home, your life, the roots you've put down, and your social circles. For some, even though being in prison isn't free, neither is such an alternative.
I too liked the film. Seemed to be DC's answer (or one of them) to what they had on Marvel's side. I'm also a fan of time travel/parallel universes in general (despite how messy they can get).
The biggest thing from this film that hit me was <spoiler>not only was there no JL in this timeline, <B>BUT THEY LOST</B>. Batman and Super Girl perish, and Earth was doomed!</spoiler> Surprising, dark, but a welcome change! Especially with Batman... <spoiler>Always has the plot armor to aid him!</spoiler>
Agree with other posters... the real goal was to save his mother. That ended up leading to the events of this film as they are.
<blockquote>Go to present time and describe the killer to the police and Batman and see if he can be tracked down.</blockquote>
You need evidence. His father's alibi couldn't be used in the first place because the store's surveillance recording couldn't verify that his father wasn't in the house at the time of the murder. No way they were just going go on Barry's word to track someone down, let alone prove that he was the real murderer.
If nothing else, OP brought up a good point...
When and what was the last film where time travel had a happy ending?
His father couldn't just live his life in Metropolis like nothing happened. He'd still be a fugitive, and couldn't just go to the store to buy things, etc.. He'd have to live his life hidden away.
<blockquote>Barry dint even save his mother or catch her killer the only thing he achieved was release his dad after years of being in prison for a crime he didn't commit, but that doesn't feel like a total victory either because that dude was in jail during years Barry dint come with a plan to at least save him for loosing all those years in prison,</blockquote>
That was the whole point... because of time travel woes, there was no way to have their cake, and eat it too. Catching the real killer would've been akin to the can of tomatoes.
As for "all those years", the Speed Force was something he recently discovered. It probably took him enough years to build up that skill and strength, but also never put himself into a situation where he would actually run THAT fast.
<blockquote>They liberated Supergirl for nothing because she is going to end being killed by Zod no matter what and is pretty sad because she was trapped her whole life and was liberated just to be killed hours later, Batman return to action for nothing he also ends up dead,</blockquote>
It wasn't for nothing. She got to enjoy a bit freedom at least, and go down fighting, as opposed to just rotting away in a cell for the rest of her life, continuing to be some inhumane Russian experiment. We got some pretty kickass scenes, including her taking her revenge on Russian guards and personnel who were part of here being locked there, and at least tried to help the world take down Zod.
Batman didn't exactly have plot armor on his side, which was actually a refreshing change of pace. It was a nice setup because you'd think between Batman's plot armor, Super Girl being very determined to win (along with literal super powers to back that up), younger Flash picking up pretty quickly from being immature to learning the ropes, and Barry Allen being an experienced super hero and having foreknowledge of how things went down in <i>his</i> universe... the were sure to succeed. NOPE! It just shows that in this universe, they really needed all hands on deck with the full Justice League, and they were doomed from the start (or at the very least, face insurmountable odds).
And going through (nearly literally) all the possibilities of trying to save Batman and Super Girl was interesting for me to watch.
