i wanna talk abt
the CW DC shows
Tumblr media Tumblr media
man how far they fell…
Of course this list was prompted by the fact that the Flash is coming to an end, signaling the end of an era.
There’s a multitude of reasons why these shows went in flames:
troubling production, some truly awful plot lines, the racism, the queerbaiting…
however, the highs were so HIGH. Every once in a while, i’ll think about the crossovers and get happy nostalgia tingles. they were so iconic.
the penultimate memorable moments in each of the shows.
From the time Barry first broke the sound barrier, to the time Cisco DIED by Dr. Wells but barry ran so fast he went back in time and undid it, to the time Caitlyn’s dead fiancé came back, fused with an old ass professor, just to die again shortly afterwards 😂😂
From the time Oliver’s mom blew up the city with the help of the man she had an affair with (which ended up killing the guys whole son 🤡), to the time Oliver took Felicity to his mansion and told her he loved her as a mIsDiReCt, to the ENTIRE season 5.
From the time Kara came out as supergirl just to save her sister, to the time that same sister actually came out (which, at 14, was so important to me), to the first time Lena Luther is introduced and every time she’s in screen afterwards. (Season 2 was just *chefs kiss*)
and that’s just the main three. don’t tell me that when you think of legends of tomorrow, a good 5 scenes don’t immediately pop into your head. what a batshit crazy piece of media.
Now there’s a lot of discourse as to what started the spark that caught flame and caused this entire franchise to explode as horribly as it did.
some say that Barry going back in time and fucking with the timeline ruined it
some say that the beginning of the end was the batwoman show, one of the hottest messes to come out of the CW’s ass since riverdale’ third season
some even blame the death of captain cold. a very VALID complaint
regardless of what you think, i believe that now that the arrowverse is coming to it’s inevitable end, it’s a good time to look back and reminisce. With the writers strike happening (show your support btw), and the fact that streaming services are unwilling to release seasons with more than 10 episodes, i cherish the time i spent with these shows even more. i grew up with them (for reference, i was born in 2003, so i was 9 when arrow came out for the first time). My dad had the first 3 seasons of Arrow on dvd.
Iris was one of the first black women I saw on screen after transitioning out of my disney channel phase. And she wasn’t a side character or anything, she was a main character and the love interest of the superhero. regardless of what you think abt iris as a character, that shit just wasn’t the norm back in 2015.
When sara lance kissed the daughter of the head of league of assassins in front of her ex-boyfriend, and it was as just another tuesday in star city. such an important scene.
look, all this to say. I will miss this era***. even if I stopped watching the flash during the 8th season. i didn’t realize how comforting it was knowing it was still out there.
***i know the superman and lois hasn’t officially been cancelled yet. but i’m protecting my heart. cuz it’s a really good show.
Goodbye, Arrowverse

Who should play Supergirl in the DCU?
Tumblr media
One of my favorite characters in the Superman mythos is Kara Zor-El AKA Supergirl. She embodies the values of the El's in a way Clark can't because, well, she was there. She knows Krypton, she has seen it destroyed, and is more of an immigrant to Earth than Superman.
Supergirl is a character built on loss, loss of a home, loss of time, loss of her culture. But she is also built on finding hope after, and becoming something greater than she could've ever imagined because of her losses.
The last daughter of Krypton is set to make her DCU debut in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, based on the comic of the same name. I'm excited to see David Corenswet and whoever takes on the role be my favorite cousin hero duo.
Tumblr media
I thought I would give my choices on who should play the Girl of Steel, what characteristics I want to see, and who they should emulate from the past.
Past Live Action Depictions
Tumblr media
While I know she has depictions in film from Helen Slater and in Smallville by Laura Vandervoort, I don't have strong opinions about either performance. So I will be pulling from some others.
Melissa Benoist
Tumblr media
Melissa Benoist is Supergirl.
She has the right balance of kindness and strength that a El needs to work. More than that, Benoist was inspiring like a Supergirl should be. I don't think we've gotten a better live action look at the Els than her and Tyler Hoechlin.
I also loved that she wasn't an entire retread of Clark. Yes she was also a reporter, but she wasn't a bumbling fool. She was cute and charming and Kara, and just a different type of confident as Supergirl. We need someone who can be confident, charming, and believable as both.
Tumblr media
Kara also brought the pain of Supergirl, the loss, just as much as she brought the comedy. We need a real talented actress who can do it all.
While her fighting could've been more believable (it's the CW so it's tough), I think this is a fantastic version of the character, and should be the blueprint.
Sacha Calle
Tumblr media
While I was not a huge fan of The Flash film, Sacha Calle was a delightful surprise. Of the 3 leads (4 leads I guess cause Ezra twice? Great job DC), she is the least utilized, but with what she is given, she is very good.
While we don't get the hope, we definitely get the trauma and pain, and you feel it through her entire performance. While she doesn't feel like Supergirl we typically know, she does feel like the version that would be Henry Cavills cousin.
Tumblr media
She also has a brutality to her that I'd like to see more of in live action. I like the idea of when she gets there, it may be harder for her to hold back given all her trauma. I'm not sure if that's the intention, but that's what I picked up.
While she wasn't an exact Supergirl, I think she captured the spirit of the character, and if they decided to bring her back for Woman of Tomorrow, I would not be against it.
Tumblr media
Stipulations
Tumblr media
Our Supergirl should be younger than our Superman, David Corenswet, who is currently nearly 30. While Supergirl tends to be 15-16, I think making her in her early 20s would be beneficial. That way she has been on Earth for a while, has seen her cousin grow up, and is finally donning the cape.
Much like in the DC Universe, the S means something in our world. Because Superman is such an icon, I think we can swing for a bigger named actress for Supergirl.
While Kara is Kryptonian, she does need to look like David Corenswet's cousin, who is white. However, she could be mixed.
Kara also is typically blonde, but we have dye these days so anyone can be blonde.
I am looking for an actress who can lead a movie, feel like a mentor to Superman in some ways and a mentee in others, with dramatic acting skills, in their 20's to early 30's, and who hasn't been known for a superhero role before.
Let's get started.
3. Anya Taylor-Joy
Tumblr media
Starting off strong with an actress with range, Anya Taylor-Joy has done it all. From hit shows like Queen's Gambit to films like The Menu, Split, and Last Night in Soho, Joy is constantly proving she is one of the best actresses working today.
What often is not talked about is her choices. Unlike other huge actors, Joy is willing to have some fun. She was Peach in Super-Mario, Magik in the New Mutants, and Brea in the Dark Crystal. She is no opposed to sci-fi or more out of this world roles.
Tumblr media
And Yes, she was in New Mutants, but no one remembers that movie or cares.
I can see her as a constant in the DC universe, pulling off the drama, pain and kindness easily.
My only concern is whether Joy can pull off Hope in the way some of the others can. Can she convince a people to go to war? Can she bring up the Man of Steel when he is at his lowest? I am not sure, but I'd love to see her try.
I think she is a fantastic pick, and can really make the character her own.
2. Natalia Dyer
Tumblr media
Known primarily for her role in Stranger Things as Nancy Wheeler, Natalia Dyer has great Kara energy.
While she has been in other projects like Velvet Buzzsaw and Yes, God, Yes, showing off both her drama and comedic sides, it's Nancy Wheeler that truly is just a great Kara audition.
She has seen horrible things, but takes lead, kicks ass, and remains hopeful for the future.
Tumblr media
She tows the line between cute hopeful person and someone who would absolutely destroy you if need be.
I think Natalia is a great pick and could use a big role other than Nancy to show what she is capable of. Sadly, she's one of those castings that I think I found someone just a little bit better.
1. Elle Fanning
Tumblr media
What can I say, she's Great (see what I did there?)
Known for roles in Maleficent, The Girl from Plainville, and The Great, Elle Fanning is a fantastic actress with the range we need.
While all three actresses have the necessary skills needed for the role, I think much as David Corenswet looks like Superman, Fanning looks like Supergirl. She's just got it. Blonde, big smile that can turn into an intense fearsome hero. It's too good.
Tumblr media
And as much as Nancy Wheeler is an audition for Kara, Catherine the Great is an even better one.
Tumblr media
She is a new leader of her people, forced into a terrible marriage with a terrible man, and must find ways to be hopeful, charming, and kind in a horrid situation. While the marriage is an add on, it's similar trials that Kara has to face.
As Catherine, she must play the dotting wife and the rebel leader, which can easily translate to doe eyed reporter to warrior.
While the show is fantastic and has its fans, Fanning doesn't really have a role she can attach her acting career to yet as big as Supergirl. I think she is in the right stage of her career where she's a big name but feels fresh.
Elle Fanning would make the perfect Supergirl.

Happy (?) Supergirl finale anniversary. #TheyShouldveLetSupercorpKiss
I saved this as a draft and never finished it and that date has passed. But -- yeah, they shoulda.
BUT it’s all good, they ended the show side-by-side with Kara ready to be her whole self with someone thanks to Lena, and taking off her glasses and smiling fondly at Lena then following after Lena towards her future. And this was after singing “We Belong Together” while looking towards Lena. Topped off by a mutual coming out metaphor discussion between Kara and Lena.
And we can’t forget that this all happened on the heels of it being canon (via Nyxly) that Kara was truly “hopeful and happy” while at home having a late night intimate dinner / evening with Lena. After previously saying she didn’t want to be alone anymore to Alex. 
That’s about as canon as you can get under the circumstances. 
And then as an added bonus in a DC Comics issue released in association with The CW, co-written by someone who wrote an iconic Supercorp episode and ships it, Lena mentioned “her girl” Kara and then how she had to get back to National City for a big date she had with a mysterious someone whose gender she didn’t specify, saying it was important to her and something she didn’t want to mess up… while standing in front of a store with a pride flag. So. C’mon.

what do you mean by your tags on this post tumblr.com/appropriatelystupid/723316407298883584
dc comics is about to release a new comic series for superman with this summary:
Superman has returned to Metropolis, and his greatest enemy, Lex Luthor, is finally behind bars. The future of the Superman Family has never been brighter! As Clark Kent settles back into his life, iconic and new enemies erupt from the shadows to strike down the Man of Steel! But waiting in the wings to back up Big Blue is...Supercorp? What secret project has Lex given to Superman?! This all-new chapter ushers in an iconic age of the DCU with a story that welcomes new readers and delights longtime fans.
this is, to me, an incredibly poorly designed attempt by dc to bury one of the most enduring elements of supergirl (and cw dctv) has left since the end of the arrowverse by using the name in hopes of changing the search results for ‘supercorp’
(much like the conspiracy theory that disney made frozen to bury the results of ‘disney frozen’ being about the widely believed legend that walt disney’s was cryogenically frozen after his passing)

The Mosley Review: The Flash
Tumblr media
Oh how the DCEU has had its ups and many downs. Each character for the most part has taken a turn in the spotlight and now we finally get a solo film for our favorite scarlet speedster and it was as fun and exciting as I hoped it would be. The excellent opening sequence sets the sometimes quirkie and hilarious tone of the film that is very reminiscent of Back to the Future. I was especially surprised by the emotional depth the film carried for not only the titular character, but the supporting characters as well. If you know The Flash's history through comics, animation or the excellent CW series, don't worry. This film follows a familiar plot point, but takes a fresh approach to it. The consistent pacing of this multiversal adventure was great and I loved when it actually slowed down to deliver the thematic elements of choice and living with your past. Not all the characters worked but the ones that do, steal the film and get you excited to see how they react as the story progressed.
Tumblr media
Ezra Miller came off more as Wally West humor and personality wise in earlier films but in this film, he finally plants his feet firmly in the role of Barry. Ezra takes Barry on the familiar emotional rollercoaster of his origin story and it was fun to see a fresh take. I loved his balanced amount of humor and heart in many great moments with his father Henry, portrayed by the wonderful Ron Livingston. The chemistry between them really hammered home the motivation and emotional turmoil of Barry's decisions. Ezra does double duty as Barry deals with a younger alternate version of himself and it was a great mirror for him to look into. Their interactions made older Barry more mature and centered. Ben Affleck reprises his role as Bruce Wayne / Batman and I enjoyed the mentor nature of their friendship the most in this film. It carries over from both Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon's versions of the Justice League film so well and it was great to see Ben again. The great Michael Keaton returns as the 1989 Bruce Wayne / Batman and he hasn't skipped a beat. He has evolved the character in a fascinating way and I liked what he became. It answers the question that many have had. What would retired Bruce Wayne / Batman be like? When you finally see him move and fight in his new batsuit, he shines and is as badass as you remember. I couldn't get enough of him and I loved that he acknowledges his mortality in many great scenes. Sasha Calle was fierce, strong and a massive standout as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl. I loved the much darker and violent take on the character as we get to see a more stoic version of the character through her intense eyes. There is so much more to mine out of that character and it is a shame that we will never get to see her interact with Henry Cavill's Superman. Now the one person that stole my heart as the emotional core of the film, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen. I loved every second we got of her and especially the grocery store scene. It is the emotional peak of the film and both her and Ezra delivered in spades.
Tumblr media
The score by Benjamin Wallfisch was good and kept the sense of speed and tension alive during the many action sequences and the emotional core alive in the more tender scenes. It was great to once again hear Danny Elfman’s iconic Batman theme and I loved Benjamin’s use of it. I did have a bit of a problem with the pacing in some scenes. The pacing of the film was great as it moves at a brisk pace as expected, but I would've loved for it to slow down for a few more seconds toward the last 20 minutes of the film. You could almost feel the amount of fat that was trimmed off the film in some scenes. Visually the film was stunning and of course most will comment on the CGI in the film. Some of it was really cartoony in the still shots, but it worked the best while in Barry's speed vision. The cameos all are amazing and one in particular made my heart flutter with joy as I know the late filmmaker Jon Schnepp would've approved and loved as well. This was a quick paced and action packed story that featured an emotional core that shines bright over the impressive visuals. There is a fun end credit scene that conitnues that connectivity that Barry has with the rest DCEU. Let me know what you thought of the film or my review in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

The Multiverse List!
So, I said a while back that I'd post a list of universes within the Kryptonverse Multiverse, and the day for that is now! I've had this list for a couple of years by now (Google Docs says February 2020), and I've been picking at it every now and then, starting by going through the list on the Marvel wiki (a very, very long list) and then the DC ones (a much, much shorter but more confusing list, thanks to all the Crisis events). Of course, that would leave out quite a few universes in the series, considering they'd rarely have an existing crossover reality number with either Marvel or DC, in which case I came up with my own. Some were easy, like the Ben 10 world (Earth-10000, for Ben 10K), others I went the boring route and just used the numbering convention (taking the date it launched or the birthday of the main creative on the project), and some I just plain don't remember how I came up with (the ML one is a good example).
Anyway, this is not the full list, as some of the universes revealed would be a spoiler. The premise here is that these are dimensions Victor and Reed have catalogued (not necessarily visited), but I'm obviously not presenting this list in their voices. This is strictly out of context and just my own notes. If and when the Avengers discover the information the pair have gathered in their universe-hopping plan, I may have some notes from Victor and Reed's POV. Probably just for the more unique ones, though.
Without further ado (and under a read more in case you don't wanna get a bit spoiled), here you go!
Earth-1:
The main DC Comics continuity, as it currently exists (whatever form that takes).
Impossible for most interdimensional travelers to visit or interact with, but typically the source of many Multiverse-altering events.
Earth-12:
The world of the DC Animated Universe, from Batman: the Animated Series till Justice League Unlimited, plus the feature films and specials explicitly stated to happen in the same continuity.
Earth-16 (Ravenverse):
The world of Young Justice, in conjunction with the Teen Titans animated series. The original home of Earth-199999’s Kara Zor-El.
As seen in “Of Darkness and the Light”
Earth-25:
A cartoonish world full of animal people. Spider-Ham’s home.
Earth-31:
The world of the current continuity of DC films, from Man of Steel onwards.
Earth-38:
The Arrowverse combined, with all its various shows and spin-offs. Called Earth-Prime or Earth-1 in the shows, but to avoid any confusion with the main DC comics universe, I gave it CW Supergirl’s reality number.
Earth-52:
The world of the films spanning from Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox to Wonder Woman: Bloodlines (in this house, we don’t talk about Apokolips War).
Earth-65:
Spider-Gwen/Ghost-Spider’s home dimension.
Earth-89:
The Burtonverse, as seen in the Batman 1989 film and its sequels.
Earth-249:
The world of Miraculous Ladybug, rich with superheroes – most important among them the wielders of the magical jewels known as Miraculouses
Earth-616:
The mainline Marvel Comics continuity, whatever form that currently takes.
Earth-1048:
The combined realities of Insomniac’s Spider-Man games and Marvel’s Avengers game. Kind of a messy, unstable one on account of all the time travel and cosmic energy events.
Earth-1154 (Netherrealm):
A fusion of two previously separate, very broken universes: the Injustice universe, where Superman became a despotic tyrant after the Joker caused the death of his wife and unborn child; and the Mortal Kombat universe, home to such icons as Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Raiden. Each shattered by straying so far from their respective frameworks that they became almost unrecognizable, they were knit together to avoid cosmic destruction. Combined post-canon of Injustice 2 and Mortal Kombat 11.
“Mistaken Identity” takes place here.
Earth-1218:
Actual, real life Earth. Hidden to all but the highest of cosmic entities in the Multiverse, this reality cannot be visited or interacted with, as any possible change or damage inflicted upon it could irrevocably alter the Multiverse or even destroy it altogether.
Earth-1610:
Home to Miles Morales’ version of Spider-Man, and the centerpiece to the Spiderverse event that would bring several Spider-powered heroes together.
Earth-8096:
The reality of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Wolverine and the X-Men
Earth-10000:
Home to the original/prime version of Ben Tennyson, wielder of the Omnitrix, and nexus world to the subsection of the Multiverse known as the Omniverse.
Earth-12041:
The reality of Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers Assemble
Earth-14512:
Home of Peni Parker, her telepathic, radioactive spider, and her SP//dr mech suit
Earth-90214:
The Noir Universe, where the Marvel heroes surfaced in the 1920s and 1930s, and fought organized crime in those times. Home of Spider-Man Noir.
Earth-96283:
 The combined realities of the Raimi Spider-Man films, the pre-Days of Future Past X-Men series, and the Fantastic Four films.
Earth-120703:
The combined realities of the Webb Amazing Spider-Man films, Venom 1 and 2, and the Deadpool films, for maximum bi/pan chaos
Earth-199999 (Kryptonverse):
Once the Marvel Cinematic Universe as seen in its various films and TV shows, this universe has been heavily modified into a melting pot of elements and characters from dozens of alternate realities, forcibly made to mesh together by Celestials in a delicate balance.
The entire Kryptonverse series takes place here, of course.
Earth-1222003 (Invincible):
The world of Invincible (inspired by the TV show, not the comics)
As seen in “Just One Dimension Over”
(I had to nix a handful because character limits apparently? Anyway, I'll update with more later!)
