Bazza Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Cheers. In my head canon, there are many other paragons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did the comics have a set number of paragons? are they the same as in the TV crossover or different? Nothing whatsoever about "paragons." More like a small army of supers. Although a few did stand out, particularly Barry Allen's Flash, Supergirl, and the Golden Age Superman from Earth II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywind Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Osric Chau played Kevin Tran, who was a prophet of Chuck. ScottishFox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Can I just say "Osric Chau" is one of the coolest names I've heard in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted February 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 It just occurred to me that Marv Wolfman meeting Flash and Supergirl was incredible ironic in that he killed both of them off in the comic book series.

Tjack Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 I think that was the plan, rather than it being a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt the Bruins Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 The comics series didn't have paragons as such, but at the beginning the Monitor did choose 15 specific super-beings from the assorted earths to enact his plans, rather than sending out a more general call for every warm-bodied superhero. The original Golden Age Superman from Earth-2 was the most prominent of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted February 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Susanna Thompson was the computer voice on the evil Waverider on Crisis on Earth X Part 4. I'm a little behind since the collapse of the multiverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaximander Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I admit I haven't in the Crisis TV shows. I've cut the cable a long time ago, and I am not going to pay for umpteen millions streaming subscriptions to watch show for which I am not even the main target audience, but I remember the comic books series. I grew up reading DC comics in the 70s, and I love the multiple universes where alternate of well known characters could co-exist. I even use it for my super hero campaign. I read the Crisis books, and my feelings were mixed in regards to results. First of all there was the killing off of favorite characters without the prospect that they were at least still alive in an alternate reality. Then, there was the unintended consequences of creating plot holes and continuity errors that were as bad or worse than the ones they were trying get rid of. Finally, they through away a lot interesting story potential by draconicly trying to make all characters comport to the current favored reality. Frankly, I think it would have been interesting to see characters from different universes struggle as they cope with the confusing of adapting to the new universe. Worst of all, I was one of the few fans at the time that actually liked the existence of multiple universes even if it did get a little confusing from time to time, but that goes back to no longer being apart of the main demographic that comic books publishers are aiming for. That being said, I did like many of the changes. I was also into a system called DC Heroes at the time, and in my head canon, the core DC universe at the time was just one of multiple universes where a Crisis like event occurred, and there was an infinite number of universes that remained completely unaffected by it.

Greywind Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 You can stream free on the CW. That's how I've been watching stuff when I'm interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
