“Destroyer (Part 2)" Talkback/Discussion

[Anubis]

More upbeat.

 

[deathshead2]

Wait nevermind just checked its the same guy who always does it.

 

[deathshead2]

More upbeat.

I think your right more than likely he sounded diffenet becasue he was happy unlike all the other times.

 

[Anubis]

Maybe it was just a slight change in personality to show how far he's come in his time on his own.

**edit** you already came to the same conclusion.

 

[Warhammer]

Wow, Ok.
Just got done watching the show.
It was a bitter sweet episode to watch. I wish the battle was an hour episode and not 30 minutes. The episode seemed a bit hasteful to me.
I really liked the episode, but that was more of a Season Finale than a Series Finale.

Pros: The episode had greats feats with it, such as the return of old, familar faces such as Zatanna, J'onn J'onzz, etc. I liked the action alot. Seeing Luthor attack the parademons and try to fight Darkseid with his dual pistols were great to see. Seeing Batman kick some ass is always a good thing to see, too. Batman dodging the Omega Beam was great. Superman vs. Darkseid was one of the best fights in the DCAU. Superman letting loose and beating down Darkseid was great and truly showed Superman's true power. This episode belonged to Superman, mostly. The ending was great with the running down the stairs and ending it with the zoom in of Batman's ensignia.

Cons: Seeing too much of the Parademons was crap. I wanted to see Granny and the rest of the soldiers of Apocalypse have a role in this. The whole invasion was a bit underhwhelming. The idea of the generators going into the Earth core for fire was very underwhelming to me also. I wish more Leaguers had more screen time. The episode did it's best to fit what it could into 30 minutes, but I think an Hour wouldve been better for the invasion. The ending was great, but underwhelming. The series didn't really come to a good closing. I personally thought Epilogue was a wayy better ending to the DCAU than this episode. This episode did it's deed, but it wasn't as good as Epilogue. Again, I wished more characters wouldve had at least 10 seconds of action. Some like Hawkman, Zatanna, etc, didn't have that much screen time which brings me back to my real problem with this episode, Time.

Finishing Thoughts:Luthor was great throughout this whole thing, but the ending ended with a Cliffhanger of Luthor/Darkseid/Anti-Life Equation. I kinda wanted to see a great closing, but I guess a Cliffhanger was the way to go for a possible future DTV. Probably a Crisis On Infinite Earths will happen one day, or a Larkseid/Dex revenge.

This was one of the best JLU episodes I've ever seen and definately ranks in my Top 6 along with Epilogue, Kid Stuff, Divided We Fall, Alive!, and The Once and Future Thing: Time, Warped.

Seeing Batman and Superman working together was golden.
A great fitting way to end 14 years of great telelvision.

If I had to give a rating, I'd give it an 8 out of 10.
It did it's deed, but It just wasn't a proper series finale to me. It was more of a season finale than a series finale.

"Goodbye DCAU".



I gave my review, now I am awaiting to read Dread's review.

WOW! this epsidoe was explosive! the fights , all the cameos from the heroes & villians. i didn't think matian manhunter was going to show up. but when he did i was suprsied , cause i really didn't see that one coming. the superman, lex luthor, batman /Darkseid fight was phenomianl.


batman dodgeing those omega beams was spectacular. it shows that the dark night knows his limits & manuvers around his target when it is nessassary. superman cutting loose on darksied was awsome! it was all in slow motion matrix style. you can just feel the raw power as darkseid was getting tossed into the air.

flash always makes me laugh. flash: maybe we should hurl it into the sun. GL: just stares at him. flash: um yeah maybe that wasn't a good idea. was priceless.

but for once i saw that green lantern finally listen's to flash & agrees that his idea was good. so that gets a A+ for charcter development. so lex saves the day yet again. he did it once in The return & now he did it agian in this epsidoe.

at the end i cried , cause this is the end of the DCAU we'll never see these charcters again. unless Dtv's come out. but hey it did have a good run starting with BTAS, STAS, BB, JL, then JLU. 14 years of good quality program & im glad to have been apart of it.

"so long DCAU we'll miss you."

Someone should make like a tombstone for the timm/Dini verse.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Ice pulls an Iceman in how she ices up.

A dude with a star throws a shield.

And was that Galactus in that wall?

It looked alitlle bit like old Galactus and didn't ice always ice up.

 

[Warhammer]

Yeah, I saw Galactus and I think Thanos.


Why did JLU rip on Marvel?
Oh Well.

 

[deathshead2]

Yeah, I saw Galactus and I think Thanos.

They didn't its more of an owner Jack Kirby made darkseid and Galactus at least I think so putting him in the soruce wall is just a fun thing to do. And the guy trowing shieds well he just does.

 

[Warhammer]

Gotcha.
I forgot all about Kirby.

So not a rip, and more of a tribute/homage.

 

[ToddIsDead]

Hahaha. I saw this episode months ago when I downloaded it. I did watch it again tonight though. It's a really good episode and a nice send-off.

 

[Rowen]

I noticed it, but i didn't see galactus

 

[Anubis]

More importantly, he cut that parademons head off.

 

[ToddIsDead]

That was absolutely awesome.

 

[Anubis]

I know.

Kirby co-created Captain America as well.

 

[deathshead2]

Now I want more ironside as darkseid I NEED MORE DC do you here me MORE!!

 

[The Caped Knight]

Wow, after seeing this last episode of JLU. I'm very sad it had to end . This series rocks . Seeing batman dodgeing Darkside's omega beams was spectacular . THE BAT rules . And to finally see SUPERMAN use his full powers in The DCAU at last was Incredible .

JLU ended of with a huge BANG . Farewell DCAU.

 

[deathshead2]

Did anyone else feel like the ending to this really left it open unlike the other seasons.It really bothers me a little.

 

[celldog]

[WOLVERINE25TH]

14 years strong.

 

[celldog]
