Pattern Ghost

She built a body from scratch. It's a 3d printer for bodies. Why shouldn't she be able to build it to inhuman specs?

I'm guessing she used data on inhuman powers that SHIELD had gathered (or Hydra via Fitz's mad science experiments) to replicate the blind teleporter's powers, and probably others' as well.

I think I found a solution.

I concur with your concurrence.

They have more chemistry than any couple on the show. I always expect Lena to lean in for a kiss when they're sitting on a couch together talking.

Is it that the Defenders lineup is composed of the Heroes for Hire lineup, or that you don't like the Netflix versions of the characters, or that you don't like the characters' original versions, or some combination?

Now we're getting into Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex territory.

That's just what he told Iris.

If you fear rubber science, superheroes may be the wrong genre for you.

Yeah, I've been thinking that they're going to bring Ward back as an LMD since they introduced the concept. Now they've got a virtual Ward to upload, so . . .

He should have used Delta Dash. They have a way better reputation for transporting animals.

I meant looks-wise.

Fair point, but I still count that as countering a Hydra plot. I only count him as fighting the government in Civil War.

Me either.

I'm picturing Valodorous as a cross between the Tick and Captain Hammer.

To be fair, he's only fought his own government in one of his five MCU appearances.

I disagree with the assessment that he's become the focus of the show or that his character's bland. (But not that he's useless.) The CW shows all suffer from poor writing, so I think it's remiss to lay it all on the one character in Supergirl's case.

That's how they work, otherwise they wouldn't be surprises.

I think they did well with Legends season 2. The crapfest of the first season is probably what hurt the ratings. S2 was fun.

Eel may not be the best aquatic nom de guerre, but it beats Flounder, or Tuna, or Barnacle.

Pretty epic installment. I suggest you have guests over more often.

Don't ask me, I was just explaining the setup. I haven't read the comic, so can't really guess at authorial intent. I haven't really read comics in years, and when I had a regular pull list, only a few DC titles made it b/c their continuity and reboots tended to confuse me. Some dead guy (dang if I can find the reference online at the moment) once said that to critique something, first ask what the artist intended, then ask if it was done well, then ask if it was worth doing. I think it was a dead Greek guy. And I may have gotten numbers two and three reversed. I'd say that the larger issue here may be that you can't arrive at the first: Authorial intent. If the author's/creator's intent isn't clear on experiencing their creation, then there's probably a fundamental problem with the work. Now, speaking theoretically, not having seen the movie or read the book, the basic setup could work. You just need some characters who at least have some potential for sympathy from the readers. Joker is too much of a psychopath, but Riddler has recently done what I hear is a well-received heel-face turn. You don't want a bunch of characters who are totally beyond redemption, and need some solid character building. As to the government side, you also don't want the Iron Age Evil Government running things. Playing with the gray areas is going to be the strength of this kind of book, and takes some level of finesse. Unfortunately, finesse is something that Hollywood lacks and the big two comic companies only rarely achieve.

Seems to me that Aaron doesn't like the establishment any better than a certain vigilante that Fish Guy's recently encountered. And who better to disguise their voice than a trained vocalist?

The point is that it was an unethical operation. The villains provided both a cover story and disposable assets. There's not really an ethical basis. Arrow handled its take on the SS better, IMO.
