When i heard alternate universe, I knew it wasn't something I wanted to see.

There's got to be better stories than that, you have the keys to the DC toy biz and that's the best you got
Basically it's called Salvation planet. It's a planet with all the other DC rogues villains (Solomon Grundy, Gorilla Grodd, Joker, Lex, etc....)

Next season if there is, will introduce new villains.

Checkmate is another group that tracks metahumans.

They left clues for DC nerds but if you didn't catch it, this episode would be a wack ass musical.

Yea…. WE are DC Stans and loved everything DC and Gunn are doing….

But admittedly after this ep…..

Im kinda over the “needle drops” that he loves to do.

its getting kinda played out

or maybe im just not a fan of these 80s hard/soft rock songs.

I mean we get it Gunn, you was the kid with the walkman but relax

Gunn fell into the post-Endgame MCU trap. Using TV shows to set up future projects.

Anyway, I just looked up the obscure comic book run that Gunn is setting up. It's called "Salvation Run"... and I don't care. None of the villains that play a major role in that comics series have even been introduced yet. Also, that storyline is just meh.

I really hope that Lanterns isn't disappointing. Thank GOD he didn't write or direct that show, so hopefully, it's good and avoids "Gunn-isms".
When their TV shows are readily available for purchase and as good as Peacemaker and Penguin while also played on HBO channel. This is the ideal way to do it. They aren't pumping a show every 4 months or missing crazy plot development.

When the MCU is spewing out hot garbage left and right while the only way to watch it is through a D+ sub. Loki and Wanda being walled and not even featured on ABC was a terrible decision. MCU fans not being able to buy any of series on digital platforms is wack.

He say the multiverse put the mcu on its deathbed and said to himself “hmmm I want to do a multiverse before I even establish my core universe”

So even if you dont like how it was handled, the episode answered all your questions about the preview. Idk, maybe wait til you actually watch the episode before judging stuff off previews. :manny:
My overarching point was the whole season was badly paced which didn't change with the finale. It's like Gunn had 5 episodes worth of material but was obligated to stretch it to 8.

Makes more sense, thanks for explaining because yea, im not a dc nerd and didnt really understand the importance lol. Yea all the romantic filler shyt shouldve been cut to better flesh out the Salvation shyt and all the interesting stuff.
So there's a chance one of them animal sounds were Grodd? :jbhmm:

Yup. Which was wack because they could've at least did a cameo of some variant villain even if he may be different in a Flash movie.

Gunn definitely leaned into the emotions and the gang getting back together for the finale. I didn't mind the music, but did expect there to be a bigger threat to arise, aside from those weird little creatures and Flagg Sr. being a bigger dikk :dame:than anticipated. At least some resolution will come in 27 I guess with the new Superman movie.

I did think the Economist post-credit scene was one of the best they've done this season.
I am gonna give you the comic fan perspective

If you know the comic Salvation Run this is pointing to 2027 Superman is going to lead to a TV series similar to how Batman led to Penguin but probably starring Luther.

Salvation run is a Luther story, maybe the best Luther story of the last 20 years. You could probably do a Checkmate B story alongside it, but for this to end up right Flagg has to betray Luther and send him to the Salvation planet. Which lowkey seeing how he moves I wouldn’t be surprised if that was always the plan. He’s smarter than he appears. Also don’t be surprised if Amanda Waller comes back and takes over Checkmate, in the comics she takes that over after she loses the suicide squad and operates them like Nick Fury runs Shield.
