Got on Tinder to see what all the hype was about...Why didn't this exist when I was single?
 
Mannnnn! that new Guardians of the Galaxy trailer is off the chain! freaking" Ronan the accuser" looks bad ass! and freaking Rocket is the %^&! man this looks good!
sorry to interrupt the snu snu! carry on!
 
Godzilla was the **** by the way. Not sure why it's so damn decisive, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. My girlfriend though thought the Atomic Breath "was a bit much" to which I was all like "Uhh, b****, are you crazy?! That was the best part!"

The film wasn't without its problems, but the things I had problems with are really nitpicky on my part and don't really detract from the overall narrative of the film.
 
The Atomic Breath was the sh**. Especially the 2nd time.

Yes! The first time was great, with the build up and what not... But damn... That second time where he just shoves it down the MUTO's throat... Amazing.

Anybody see that Flash trailer?

Yeah, I dug it. It looked a lot better than I thought it would, especially the suit.
 
That trailer made me want to start watching Arrow and catch up.
 
As I'm sure you've heard season 2 is better than 1, but I think season 2 succumbs to the whole "Too many pans in the fire" thing. Deathstroke was great, but his motivation is shotty at best. But I suppose super-villains have waged wars on less.

Suicide Squad was a good idea, but the episode felt underdone on the whole. Isabel Rochev comes in as someone suspicious/a love interest, then like 15 episodes later she's back and all of a sudden completely evil and working with Slade Wilson.

The whole Hulked out Roy Harper ran its course like within 3 episodes, yet I'm pretty sure they dragged that **** out for about 2/3's of the season.

I will say though, the last 4 or 5 episodes were great.

The suit is even worse than I thought it'd be. I'm all over the show, but that thing better just be the suit he starts out with or else he's gonna be trippin and chaffing all over the place in that baggy POS.

I just started on Netflix, and I'm finding it kinda hard to watch. I think I'm on episode 8 or 9, but I'm finding it kinda boring. So far, it feels kinda repetitive right now.

We're in exactly the same spot in the show. Everybody says the Huntress episodes were a bad spot in season 1 but that it gets better.
 
Ohhh dat Godzilla.

****in' awesome, just awesome.

Goin' to see it with my lady this weekend, hopefully it'll wipe the horrible tast of ASM2 out of my mouth.

You didn't like ASM2? I thought it was pretty good.

Today, I helped somewhat muscular blonde woman. Tan all over, tight dress... I think she was a female body builder and I feel like she has awoken something inside me.

You are not alone. I equate this to the fact that I think Pink is hot for some reason and I think that reason is because she can kick my ass I think.

The Atomic Breath was the sh**. Especially the 2nd time.

I was just like amazed that they even included it, it was so ****ing cool. Like sooooooooo ****ing cool.

Stick with it, those first episodes are tough but it gets really damn good. Oh and that irresistible urge to kill Laurel never goes away.
 
Laurel is the damn worst. I just hope for Deathstroke appearances every episode. :o

The writers admitted they didn't know if Isabel Rochev what they were doign with her hence her not showing up for a while and then be revealed as a villain.

“Isabel was the one thing that we were’t entirely sure about as we were developing the season,” Kreisberg admitted to reporters on Monday morning. “Truthfully, there was a very early iteration of this [season] where Sara started the season as Ravager, and then we switched over. We always had that paradigm of Slade having [that role] in the back of his mind. Obviously, we didn’t want to make her Rose and have that trajectory. Part of the reason Isabel disappeared for a while was because we still weren’t quite sure which way to go – whether she should be an ally or a villain. We had written it so that it could turn out either way; just, as we were coming down, the scene that I was picturing was Isabel, Slade and Sebastian in Oliver’s office – like the triumvirate of evil – and once that happened, there was no way she was not going to be Ravager.”

Deathstroke's feelings for shado came out of nowhere as well but the whole Green Goblin style super crazy serum thing worked.

Manu Bennett as Slade is one of the best parts of the show. Bennett has more charisma than some movie star leading men.

Amell's stare into the distance while delivering lines he is about to cry at any moment acting style gets a bit old after a while.

The whole deliberation over giving Roy the cure seemed pointless as we knew he was going to get it and it would work.

They dragged out Hulked out Roy for 2/3 of the season when he got the Mirakuru halfway through and was rid of it before the season ended?
 
They dragged it out for what felt like 2/3's of the season. Roy gets upset, Oliver lectures him, Roy understands, then suddenly Roy doesn't understand. Repeat that for about 4 episodes. It just felt sloppy and ultimately pointless, especially when you factor in the memory loss aspect.

Season 2 is better than season 1, yes. But there were still some missteps.
