Step 1: define "under-rated"?

as cheesy as it is... I actually think the third one looks best. the first two just... I can see they're trying but it's just missing the mark.

It's... memorable. It's the same design logic as Psylocke's purple ninja suit.... except not purple or ninja.

They did an alternate timeline version with that pairing.

oh yeah... all three have experience as thieves....

feels like it belongs there TBH.... she's used weapons a lot IIRC.

Which is part of how he added Joanna Cargill to his conquest list.

WHY!?!?!?!? Oh I know why... because it makes no sense in the main timeline at all. It was put in as a huge red flag that it's...

you're not wrong, BUT... the comics have had "political marriage" plots often enough that the option is still on the table.

Well it seemed to play it off as normal Tamaranean attire. well except for being black.

True, random cameos really don't mean a whole lot, but for a writer who has plans to do a sequel it's a nice way to seed the idea of using characters.

I generally dislike the idea of giving Cyclops a solo on account of him being one of the most over-used characters ever. Like, I think he's up to 4 canonical love interests in the main universe? ...

Yeah, really not sure what the goal was... or how the X-office measured success... or maybe just some writer's pet idea? 'cause she came around in the era when "mutant" wasn't always an X-gene...

Bette, Jimmy Olsen and Kara Zor-el get to fight over who gets to be Flamebird?

That's the thing... real-life doesn't have tidy ends to it... never has.... story endings just feell... unnatural. :D

That's a convoluted way of saying you disagree with my dislike of the episode.

What you missed though is that... they didn't sell the idea the island HAD millions of people on it to start with!
...

Yeah, Gunn's track record is to take an established IP and try to make it what he thinks is cool... and often radically change it.

Some of the most memorable character moments even in "solo" books... aren't the main character. ...

Ebon Samurai AND Silver Samurai? oh my.... might need Deathstrike to keep them from fighting. :D

6160? I was thinking of 616 honestly.

Peni is an idea yeah. Just... need to make it work in...

I personally realized years ago that I just enjoyed team books more than solo titles. 20+ charactes might not get equal page-time, but you can mix things up and just... switch focus and have...

Given what this episode is borrowing from in the comics? The only surprise was WHO got killed. They HAD to kill SOMEONE. Honestly it wasn't even setup in a way where there were many options on who...

"Impulse likes words!" lol WUT?!?!?

Yeah, it's a self-insert story that shoehorns the DC comics setting into the self-insert.

It also makes the self-insert look like a horrible person. That's the weirdest part. The self-insert...

Let's look at a different example: 20 years ago Gunn wrote the screenplay for the Scooby Doo live action movie. And... the finished movie.... comes across as someone who didn't really understand why...

the plot in this show is like watching a movie in fast forward. My best guess is that the plan is to setup an approximation of the current comics status quo with the first season. I mean they...

Yeah.... this was neat to see, but we really didn't get a feel for why anything was where it was. But... sequel fodder. It made me wanna see more X-Factor!
