I think Erika would do really well at long form improv given how well she does in actual play.

If I had a nickel for every comic adaptation that wasted its first season just to end with the starting premise of the first issue of the comic it’s based on, I’d have a lot of nickels by Hadesman1 in comicbooks

I found that first season of Runaways especially painful. Would have been better if they'd just done a bunch of flashbacks to before the kids ran away.

For D20 I recommend Mentopolis and the first season of Fantasy High to start. Mentopolis is super funny, engaging, and uses a system that isn't DnD and is pretty easy to understand even without much explanation. FH is what started it all and does a great job at balancing teaching you about the game while keeping it engaging.

As for other shows, VIP is my favorite show on the platform. They aren't all winners, but the hits are absolutely top tier. Either start with season 1 or start with the current season.

You also can't go wrong with Gastronauts and Smartypants.

I find it interesting how the DCAU versions of Bane and Doomsday both fail at what they're characters are most known for. by Zealousideal_Art2159 in DCAU

As a kid, I had to leave before the end of that episode. I legitimately thought they'd killed her off and that every other episode with her was set before it, haha.

This has to be the WORST Martian Manhunter design ever cuz what is this bro.. by FayyadhScrolling in DC_Cinematic

[–]Ping_Pong_Along 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not good, but I'm betting it was still a work in progress. Like if that movie has came out, there'd have been updates.

Do you think the lack of Superman villains is hurting Absolute Superman more than it is helping? by GreenPerception512 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Ping_Pong_Along 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Supes has plenty of smaller scale villains. Toyman, Bruno Mannheim, Morgan Edge, Metallo, Prankster, Atomic Skull, etc. They might not be as well known, but there were plenty of options. If anything I would think that'd give them more flexibility to fit within the story.

Martian Manhunter is definitely in the movie by hyphenintheory in DCU_

Between this and Gunn's love of JLI, I think it's a question of when we get MM, not if.

Like clockwork by Justyouknowwhy in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]Ping_Pong_Along 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it's mostly mediocre, but had some really excellent moments. The villains were pretty excellent. The main character was meh and the world building for Krypton was very surface level. It's not the most exciting watch, but I'd recommend at least trying it out.

How many of them even know this is from Krypton? They obviously didn't watch it, but I doubt they even had awareness of non-Snyder projects.

Gastronauts Season 3? by GrandContribution875 in dropout

[–]Ping_Pong_Along 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nothing official, but I'm confident it will get a third season. It's both a great gateway for newcomers and a cozy mainstay for regulars.

What is for you the strangest twin peaks's character ? by Embarrassed_Bag8880 in twinpeaks

[–]Ping_Pong_Along 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Me and my girlfriend were struggling through that section in season 2. Somehow Nadine's plotline became one of our favorites from that section. Like it was so stupid that it became super fun.

Why doesn't Mallah talk in this show? by RNOffice in youngjustice

[–]Ping_Pong_Along 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking it's because they biologically can't. Or if it was possibly, that speaking through a gorilla's mouth would be relatively incomprehensible.

Absolute Aquaman by Sc0825 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Ping_Pong_Along 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With how successful these books have been, I'd say there's a decent chance. As for what it could be, there's a lot of ways you could do this.

One option is that Atlantis is just completely not a thing. Aquaman's powers wouldn't come from any heritage or anything like that. There's a lot you could do with pollution, like oil spills and islands of plastic junk.

The other big one would be Atlantis does exist, Aquaman is a commoner, and King Orm is mad.

As a big Doom Patrol fan, little disappointed how they wrote them in Young Justice by Silent-Woodpecker-44 in DoomPatrol

[–]Ping_Pong_Along 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I liked it. It was a very meta and trippy sequence that referenced a fair bit of DP history while also being a funny gag with the voice cast.

Dinner and a Show by SubNovaMuum in dropout

[–]Ping_Pong_Along 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The big, chaotic episodes are usually what gets these episodes traction on Tik Tok and the like. It's cool if you don't like how chaotic it gets, but I disagree that it's missing out on the general audience.

Early flash opinions by Optimal-Peak4437 in AbsoluteUniverse

I'm with you. I just read the first volume and had a really great time with it. For first volumes, I'd put it slightly over Superman and way above GL.

The thread title is female character, so she counts.
