If they are going to get quality animation, I think Animation is a great way to tell stories about what is happening and fill in the holes.  Animation is much cheaper than television.

No, but the studios approve the script and what kind of film they will be making.  The director knows if he can shoot an R rated film, or if he needs to frame his shots for PG-13.

Why didnt recent events of the flash the time jump back one day and then rewriting things affect arrow too?

You have to look at time travel from the eyes of the person you traveled in time as the center of the event.  The closer to that person you are the more the event of time travel will affect you.  In Barry's case the only people affected would be the people that had interactions with him the day prior to the jump. 

The Arrow had no interactions with him, so the jump would mean he would make the exact same decisions as before...nothing changed for him.  Even Doctor Wells said Barry you must make the exact same decisions and do exactly the same things or you will change time. 

As for the Flash helping.  How would he get in touch with the Flash?  Would Barry believe or trust him?  Oliver Queen's decision to turn himself in, was the right move.  His teams decision to try to free him was the WRONG decision.  Unless the city has a death sentence, Oliver staying in jail until the city realizes he is innocent and they need him, would have been the most mature and responsible thing to do.  The fact that he can't express that to his team shows he has bad leadership skills.

I am sure they are betting that the fan votes will go to obvious choices of characters that were left out.


I want Wolf.
I want Snake.
I want Ice Climbers.


(I am positive we will magically get Ice Climbers working for the games.)


These clones will be the easiest to pull off and balance for maximum efficiency.  I predict most of these characters will be released this year and a few early next year and that is all.

Smallville jumped the shark after season 3...they should move on and turn the heroes into heroes. 

"A lot of people are predicting the Flashpoint event as happening for next season and I admit that all this talk of trying to stop the murder of Barry's mom in this season seems to be leading up to that but I just don't see that as a good idea for a show that is still so young. There's still much of this universe and world to create and if you want the full effect of a Flashpoint event, I think you need a second season at least to further build up different events and moments and situations before you show the alternate possibilities of what life would be like by changing that moment in time. If they do Flashpoint next season, then I think this show runs the risk of burning up a lot of material too fast and could result in the Arrow situation we see now where it seems to be a struggle to find engaging new conflicts or direction."

I think they are doing Flashpoint...but differently.  The thing is, they were worried that the show might not become popular, so they wanted to tell the Flash story as quickly as possible.  I think this season has been excellent about slowly introducing and showing us all of the Flash's powers.  Now, they are definitely setting up for Flash point.  This weeks episode totally confirms it.

By the end of this season I promise 100% The Flash will have lost his powers, and saved his mom's life.  And the Reverse Flash will somehow be reconnected to the speed force, and either A) Go back to the future or B) be apart of the evil time changed mess that we have be in the wake of the Flash never existing. 

However, they will not pull in too many other heroes it will be a more personal and smaller story.  But it will give us a truly heroic and good Doctor Wells for season 2...which is nice because he is so likable.

Khush:  It is true.

Though, there is a problem we have with Mafia games.  Interest only lasts about a week...so you want to make sure the game can end or be close to ending around the next Friday.  I know it didn't use to be this way.  But it is now.  It is one reason I don't support the weekend break...because that just kills the game.

Khush...I can't host another game for awhile...I am too busy.

The idea with Nintendo is you really only have 2 mafias...because Nintendo can only kill and take the role of the Godfather...it isn't too powerful. 

If not enough players join then you can drop the Doctor Role or Sega Role...or both. 

I think a game with 12 people could handle this game.

Xbox mafia 3 Sony mafia 3 (Unless we got enough players for a 4 person mafia you need 3 for both) then you have half the game townies.  Obviously, Nintendo is a wild card...and more players is better...but that is always true.

My gripe with the SEGA role (if it's not a joke role and is actually in-game) is that it could easily wipe out a bunch of players in one go, and people would be scared of voting, hurting an already mainly-inactive mafia community.


Also, it would require a lot of players (at least a decent amount), which is something we struggle with.


But it IS a good idea.

Silenced...the way it is worded it could only take out 3 players...himself, and the person that voted before and after him...and ONLY if the Sega character wants to die.  Otherwise, he is just a normal townie.  It is a twist on the suicide bomber role.  If the mafia want to be careful they can just hit the Sega character and kill them.  Or, plan their posts not to be sandwiched between other players...just in case. 

But that being said it was mostly a joke role...and it could be taken out.

Sega:  Suicide Role:  Sega can kill himself during the game.  If Sega kills himself the players that voted before and after Sega's vote are killed also.

Console Wars Mafia 2015

Mafias:  Microsoft and Sony  (Sony gets 1 more mafia member than Microsoft, but Microsoft can hit first)
Ghost Mafia:  Nintendo:  If Nintendo (Godfather single player) kills the Godfather of Microsoft or Sony then it becomes the head of that mafia and the remaining mafia players become Nintendo

Townies:  Fanbois
Roles:  NWR Writer:  Investigator
gamestop Employee:  Vote changer
Console Collector:  Doctor
PC Master Race Fanboi:  Killer

There you go.  Ready made theme, with 3 mafias. 



EDIT:


Forgot Ghost Mafia Rule.  Nintendo can make a hit everyday, but only succeeds if he targets a Godfather.  Otherwise, the hit does not kill anyone.  If Nintendo kills Godfather, then they become the new head and can perform normal hits.


Other Mafias rotate Day 1 Day 2 Day 1 Day 2 Hits.

I like this idea...but how in the world are they going to pull off Hawk Girl on a television budget? 

What I really hope happens...is I hope many of these ideas turn into limited series.  If CW could do a comic book series justice for 2-3 seasons TOPS, it would be a really cool way for DC to get exposure for all their characters...specially the obscure characters.  Then you can always hire special guest appearances of certain characters.

I don't mind the Batman ripoff...after all Green Arrow in many ways is a Robin-Hood Batman. And I like the overall story arc, I just hope they see the need to change the style of the show next season...which rumor has it, they will.

I am hoping that season 2 was learning to be a hero.  Season 3 is seeing that being a hero is more than just not killing...it is fundamentally doing things differently...and Oliver learning that he can embrace life and be the Arrow. 

Then I hope season 4 is just fun Arrow and team working together like a well oiled team, but a betrayal leaves team Arrow fighting from within.

So this season I want to see Roy Harper get injured so badly he is out of commission as Arsenal.  (Like an arm being removed) and he is out of the story for half a season...only to come back as side villain.  Yes it is the Red Hood, but I think Green Arrow actually did it first.

Continued previous post.

The Animated series had the "Trick Arrows"  like Taser Arrows.  I feel the show really needs to work towards these, because otherwise Arrow is going to be framed easily anyone using real Arrows. 

Also, I would love to see Gas Arrows for both knocking out people, and stealth attacks.  Right now, Arrow is supposed to be a master leader and tactician however, I feel he just runs into situations arrows flying. 

The World Arrow is in, has gotten bigger and more "meta-human"-y.  I think Arrow as a show needs to evolve to show that. 

Give us trick arrows, give us a Black Canary with a real meta-Canary Cry.  Give us Roy Harper Arsenal, with his arm cut off and replaced with a weapon, because why not?

The "Gold Gun" was kinda silly.  But The Flash isn't about being realistic.  It is about being over the top and fun.  And besides, the real powers the character has was far more silly.  So, I am glad they are not changing the characters too much.

As for Cisco and the Arrow, I am hoping they move the Arrow away from point-y arrows and more into trick Arrows soon.  If Ray Palmer and/or Cisco could give the Arrow a new arsenal it would be great. 

I would like to see what they did in the animated series...

I like the idea of mystery roles.  I think it is pretty clever.  However, I think some balance needs to established.

I think giving us the number of townies, townie roles, and Mafia members would help create a framework for the game.  And it will help make the game more playable.

"Streets of Rages perfected the formula that Final Fight and Double Dragon"

I dunno if I agree with this.  I have played and beaten Streets of Rage 1, 2, and 3.  I thought they were generic and boring.  The lacked style and substance.  To me these games live and die on their personality, because the game play is usually so basic.  I am not saying Final Fight or Double Dragon were excellent examples of the game, but both of them had some nice style behind it.

Brawlers:  TMNT: Turtles in Time.  This game is always a delight and the graphics and humor are topnotch.  However, a close second is Aliens Vs. Predators

2D Fighters:  Super Street Fighter 2  Classic Characters people will recognize, it has all the elements and is easier to play than other fighting games.

Racing:  It depends...Daytona USA is good for arcade realism...but I would go with Super Mario Kart series for the fun of it.

3D Platformer: Super Mario Galaxy or Galaxy 2.  Though 64 would work as well.

2D Platformer:  I agree Super Mario World is perhaps the best game created in that genre.

Metroidvania:  Super Metroid...nothing feels like it...or plays as good...even later Metroid sequels.

Japanese RPG:  Chrono Trigger.

Single Screen Arcade Games:  Mrs. Pac Man or Donkey Kong

I still felt there was a way for one mafia to win.  Yes, it means that mop_it_up basically gets to decide the winning team.

But at least somebody would win.
