Life is so unfair.
The series of the character I'm interested in (Yara) would get the ax.

I don't see it getting picked up.
I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

The Arrow finale was setting up a Green Arrow and the Canaries spin-off that never materialized. It sounds like these shows never seem to get past the drawing board phase. I wonder if AT&T is getting gun shy about series that might not be a guaranteed success. Superman is one thing but a character that was created a year ago is something else.

Who the F*** is Naomi?

I almost get them not going forward with Green Arrow and the Canaries; but instead they go forward with a live action, 20-something Power Puff Girls that sounds TERRIBLE. And they cancel Black Lightning; but they are developing a spin-off for... Painkiller?! Well, at least it wasn't a spin off for Tobias Whale.
And meanwhile, all I can think of is how they passed on Supergirl the first time, and immediately regretted it. Which, if Wonder Girl is picked up somewhere else (and I hope it is; it may not be the Wonder Girl I grew up reading, but I am interested in learning about this new character), I have a feeling they will be feeling the the same regrets.

I'm 1000% convinced it's going to be a smashing, break-away hit. Bigger than Batwoman! Originally Posted by Anarchist

Don't feed the troll.
EDIT: Also, with the look that Naomi's father had on his face after she asked her parents about her heritage, maybe he knows more than he lets on.Last edited by Anarchist; 01-20-2022 at 04:26 PM.

Well, watched the second episode and I hope it does well and keeps people employed. However, it is not for me as the premise of OMG - there are aliens, Superman stunts is too stupid a plot for me. Second, the combo of teenage angst, a pseudo-Scoobie team, sexual discovery, nerd and duff (an old stupid term) friends is so cliche ridden to turn me off.
The acting is rather shallow also, not on the level of the best Arrowverse shows but the worst.
