Lexa (The 100) article
Bignole, do you have an opinion on this? Perhaps you have some thoughts about how to structure the content? On the talk page, one editor so far has suggested moving the content in question to an existing section. I know that you can be stern with how to cover fictional matters, but you also commonly give good advice. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:28, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

On a side note (and just to keep the discussion in one place), I also want TAnthony's opinion, since he has built up a number of Wikipedia character articles and sometimes includes fan reception. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:31, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Character articles for The Flash (2014 TV series) and Supergirl (TV series)
Recently posting on your talk page reminded me of something else I've been meaning to ask: How should I title character articles concerning The Flash and Supergirl shows? Flash (Barry Allen) exists and so does Supergirl (Kara Zor-El), but there's enough content out there to give these two characters their own articles with regard to the television shows. I want to create one for Barry Allen, Iris West Allen, Supergirl and Lena Luthor. I plan to start with Supergirl. I'll ask at WP:TV as well. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 05:02, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Is there enough for Lena Luthor that wouldn't just go to her other page? She's just a recurring character in her first season right now. As for the others, that is a good question. I would probably take the Arrow approach. We did Oliver Queen (Arrow), so maybe Barry Allen (The Flash), Iris West (The Flash), Kara Danvers (Supergirl)? Then you can have hatnotes sending people to the comic articles in case they came there by mistake.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  11:49, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I would concur with Big's assessment for article titles, as well as holding off, for now, on a Lena Luthor article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:29, 3 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Yeah, at the WP:TV talk page, Joeyconnick suggested the same thing regarding names, except he used "Kara Zor-El" in place of "Kara Danvers." I'd go with "Kara Danvers." And, yeah, in that discussion, I noted that I likely would not be creating a Lena Luthor article yet. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:09, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Canon
Your change was fine, but read "current continuity" as "the only ongoing Texas Chainsaw continuity that the current films are following". Remember, the franchise canon has been rebooted, retconned, ETC, a number of times. I was going off of a quote from Leatherface writer Seth M. Sherwood himself.  Dark Knight  2149  02:49, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * As I said, I have no problem with your edit, as it has more longevity. I didn't see it as a "recentism", given that it has been in place for several years and the only upcoming film is set in that timeline. Canon is one of those things that stays in place for years, before eventually changing (such as referring to a film as "upcoming" or referring to a politician as "current").

The death on The Flash (2014 TV series)
I see all kinds of theories about it. Anyway, it was a solid choice by the show, even though it seems that the character is not actually dead. I expected the death to actually happen because, in the show, there was too much emphasis on the belief that it wouldn't happen. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:19, 18 May 2017 (UTC)


 * It will certainly be interesting to see if it sticks, or if it is "fixed" in the finale. Honestly, I'm more excited for the Arrow finale, because this season has been better than the Flash has been.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  04:18, 19 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Because of the theories and the leaked stuff I've seen, I doubt it will stick. It was still a very bold choice, and might have been the better choice plot development-wise (although Barry has lost enough people). It was a touching ending for me, and the song choice was great. I've liked watching the theory and reaction videos to it, such as this one that Candice Patton tweeted (I watched that before she tweeted it, though; I didn't even know she tweeted it until I read that she did).


 * As for Arrow, I am far behind on that, but I'll catch up eventually. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 12:25, 22 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Definitely agree with the song choice. Honestly, the episode as a whole was just ok. It had good moments, but the ending (which you kind of knew was coming) was handled really well and I think lifted the episode up. Especially the video message that Iris leaves Barry that is playing over her death.


 * You definitely need to catch up on Arrow...NOW! LOL.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  14:05, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Agree with Bignole. Definitely more excited for Arrow's finale this year than Flash's, and you need to catch up on it Flyer! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 19:22, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
 * LOL, okay. I will. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:50, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Any thoughts on the Flash finale, guys? One thing that I like is Savitar as a tragic character, a version of Barry that went down the path of evil because he lacked the love and support that "true Barry" had. I also liked how his suit turned red when Barry jumped into it. I'd seen a remastered version of that suit before the show did it. I think that the suit looks better in red. But then again, red is my favorite color.

And you two might have seen by now, but there is a girl/YouTube reaction poster who looks just like Caitlin/Danielle Panabaker. She is constantly receiving comments about that. Some think she looks more like Danielle's sister, Kay Panabaker, though. I wonder if Danielle Panabaker is aware of the poster; someone probably sent her link showing the resemblance by now. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 14:59, 27 May 2017 (UTC)


 * For me, The Flash and Supergirl finales were a little...lackluster as a whole. Both had good starts, and The Flash ended emotionally (but also with a contrivance, because Jay could have easily returned). I had a hard time swallowing Savitar/Barry. He was technically still Barry. He points out that he has all the same memories. So, you're telling me that because the "real" Barry just "left him", that he became so emotionally broken that he decided to become an evil god? That's a stretch. They would have been better served with Savitar's true origins. By far, this was the weakest season for The Flash, and I'm happy to hear that next year's villain won't be a speedster. I'm a little tired of them. There's only so many times you can start an episode with "I'm the fastest man alive"....followed by everyone else that is clearly faster.


 * Supergirl just lacked impact until the end. And I don't buy the fight between her and Superman going down like that. Ignoring sex, he's been on Earth far longer, which means he has absorbed more solar radiation and thus is more powerful. I just didn't feel like there was a real sense of danger throughout most of it. My suspicion is that the end was an allusion to Doomsday, which is annoying. They already stole silver kryptonite from Smallville, and it looks like they may be making the same Smallville decision on Doomsday's origin (if that is the case).


 * For me, Arrow's finale was the only one that lived up to the hype. Adrian was clearly running the show, all the way through to the end. The previous episode he tells Oliver, "See you on the boat" as he gets into the helicopter, so he already knew where it was going to end. It was far more impactful for the show to end with Adrian assumedly winning. Plus, who could ever get enough of Slade Wilson/Manu Bennett on that show. It was awesome seeing him return.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  20:42, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The order of finale favorites for me were LoT, Arrow, Flash, Supergirl. Really enjoyed LoT this year (I felt it had the biggest positive change of any of the Arrowverse shows to date, more so than Arrow S1 to S2), and Arrow was still a bit hit or miss as a whole, but really kicked it up a notch after the Chase reveal and had a good back end. The Flash had by far the weakest season to date, and I agree with Big that I'm glad there won't be a speedster villain next season. Give us our more hopeful Barry back too! And I'm still waiting for the Rogue to be proper villains. They'd make good season-long villains on the show, but will likely not happen given Mick is on the Legends and Wentworth Miller is probably done for the time being on the series. Supergirl had a very lackluster finale, but I was glad we got Cat Grant back. As for the ending, I've seen theories on who the other baby is, but personally didn't have any inkling when I saw it live who it was. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:01, 28 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Bignole, I know what you mean about Supergirl feeling lackluster as a whole. I also didn't buy the fight between Superman and Supergirl. Well, I bought that she could have gotten a lot of hits in, but I do believe that, realistically, Superman would have won. Not just because he's male (although that is a valid aspect, considering that, on average, males are physically stronger than females), but also per the solar radiation reason you noted. I think that the show is so concerned with "girl power," "woman power," and feminism that it needlessly reduces Superman's mental and physical capabilities. The episode also made it seem as though Superman is mentally weaker than Supergirl (and the show has done that before). That stated, I did see it argued by one male poster that Supergirl is stronger than Superman in the comics too; I'm not sure if that is true, or if it pertains to one or a few comic book versions. And, yeah, I didn't get any real sense of danger from that finale. As for The Flash, evil Barry made sense to me in a way since the show made it clear that evil Barry lost the love and support he needed to flourish and ultimately turned bitter, but I understand what you mean.


 * As for Arrow, Bignole and Favre1fan93, I'm still not caught up; so I skipped your commentaries about that. Still avoiding my eyes, but I will read them later (although they will be archived by then). Favre1fan93, I skipped your entire latest post due to being sure that I can't read part of it without seeing the spoilers. Thanks for the heads up about the spoiling, you two.

 * With regard to Supergirl being stronger, that has only been in random stories, and it always fit the story for it to be "her" that was stronger. It makes no sense that she would be stronger given the canocity that longer exposure equals stronger abilities. The same way that Batman writers make Superman a big dumb alien, because he can't outshine Batman in his own comic.


 * My issue with Flash was that it made it seem like a simple "abandoned" (by yourself no less) would cause all of that. Being a time remnant, he would have at least had the knowledge that he was created to be expendable. It just seemed contrived in a way to create a bigger emotional collapse for Barry. They could have done better and Savitar has a better origin in the comics.


 * Get on Arrow! LOL.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  00:59, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
