Spoilers if you haven't seen the episode

Ok so starting things off Superman wakes up from the capture coffin and is immediately like WTF Kara?! He tries to escape the ship he's on but needs a helmet to breathe in space and the suit grants him one. The way it looks really evokes either Injustice 2 Superman's default costume or his Electric Blue Superman look from the comics [Cover art of Superman #123 (1997), the glow in the dark variant cover, by Dan Jurgens, Joe Rubenstein, Patrick Martin, and Todd Klein].

The title of this week's ep is based on Rudyard Kipling's book, The Man Who Would Be King which is about two British adventurers who become kings in Kafiristan. Appropriate for the ep considering Brainiac who wants to flex his strength and might on other planets by sending Kara and his robots to level the entire civilization. How British colonizer of him. Fuck the colonizers.

On Kara's ship, Clark tries to get to know her better and show her that Earth is cool, being kind and gentle is not a weakness, anything to get her away from the whole might makes rights idea and Kara name drops some locations Brainiac and her sacked after seeing some trinkets she stowed away on her ship. The locations are Thanagar, H'lven, and Euphorix. Clark asks Kara to take him to Thanagar where they see that its all just ruins. Later in the ep we learn why. The screenshots of the last two locations are from later on in the ep.

Thanagar makes its first appearance in The Brave and the Bold #34 (1961) [W: Gardner Fox, P&I: Joe Kubert, L: Gaspar Saladino] where Hawkman and Hawkwoman make their first appearance too. They are looking for the criminal Byth Rok. They meet Midway City's commissioner and tell him about their planet and people and explain who Byth Rok is and what he did. Later in the ep we do see a Thanagarian, but I doubt its Shayera/Hawkwoman cuz she would be using a Thanagarian mace not a polearm. Give the latest Hawkman series a read to explore more of not just Hawkman himself but also a look into Thanagar. Also read Batman: Universe if you want to see Batman get humbled by a Thanagarian guard because the guard assumed his cape was wings and Batman says "I can't fly, only glide with the cape" and the guard replies "ha, cute".

H'lven makes its first appearance in Green Lantern #148 (1982) [W: Paul Kupperberg, P: Don Newton, I: Dan Atkins, C: Anthony Tollins, L: John Costanza]. Its a heavily tree covered planet home to Ch'p and B'dg of the Green Lantern Corp (more on the GLC later). It's located in space sector 1014 where the inhabitants are all chipmunk/squirrel-like aliens. So yeah Brainiac destroyed a civilization of adorable anthropomorphic squirrels and chipmunks, what a piece of shit.

The final place Kara mentions and returns to later in the ep is Euphorix where its first appearance was in The Omega Men #2 [W: Roger Slifer (yes that Roger Slifer who Slifer the Sky Dragon from Yugioh was named after), Keith Giffen, P: Keith Giffen, I: Mike DeCarlo, C: Petra Scotese, L:John Costanza]. The silver planet you see in the panel there is one of the last free planets that has not been touched by the Citadel and it is where the Omega Men operate out of.

Kara and Clark have to cut their Thanagar visit short and she mentions that they must return to Kandor which if you know your DC universe is very different to the main satellite/mothership that Brainiac helms.

Unlike what MAwS did with Kandor so far, in the comics, Kandor was a bottled Kryptonian city for trading and commerce that Brainiac stole before Krypton's destruction. It's still populated too. It and Brainiac's first appearance was in Action Comics #242 (1958) [W: Otto Binder P&I: Al Plastino] where Superman was also shrunk down by Brainiac after he stole several cities on Earth and Superman finds Kandor and eventually rescues it. Most of the time the bottled city of Kandor is always seen located in the Fortress of Solitude or its been brought somewhere else to be enlarged to its normal state in different DC continuities. Very smart of the MAwS team to use the name as Brainiacs main transport to keep that Kandor-Brainiac connection and speaking of Brainiac...

Brainiac is, as Kara designates him, Primus Brainiac who I talked more about here. Very smart of the MAwS crew to use the DCAU origins of Brainiac to really make it personal when it comes to Brainiac and Superman. Btw if you've never seen Superman the Animated Series, go watch it its fantastic. It and MAwS are my favorite adaptations of Superman.

Brainiac takes Clark to his combat training chamber where we see a Parademon of Apokolips, a Green Lantern, and a Thanagarian who are just more robots taking on these projected forms of aliens that Brainiac has conquered or battled. I talked a bit about the Thanagarians already but...

Parademons make their first appearance in The New Gods #1 (1971) [W&P: Jack Kirby, I: Vince Colleta, L: John Costanza] as the army troops for Darkseid. They're usually sent out in waves as an advancing force for whatever invasion Darkseid has plans and they swarm like crazy. The New 52 continuity makes them even more horrifying because Parademons are made from living or dead native species the planet the troops are invading and get genetically modified to be additional Parademons for Darkseids army.

As Clark fights the alien monk, we see that they wield a Green Lantern ring so we can presume they are from the Green Lantern Corp. The name Green Lantern was first used in All-American Comics #16 (1940) by Alan Scott who became Green Lantern and his ring was more mystical based compared to how everyone things of the Green Lantern Ring is now which is more sci-fi based.

That Green Lantern was Hal Jordan who gained his ring from a dying Abin Sur who was the protector of space sector 2814, our solar system, and Abin Sur's ring chose Hal to take up the Green Lantern mantle. This is the Green Lantern that pop culture is more familiar with. Any time a Green Lantern Corp member dies, their ring will fly to another person who has the strongest willpower to be a Green Lantern. We can assume that alien monk has their ring fly somewhere to find a new worthy owner. Very cool that the MAwS crew were able to bring a Green Lantern ref in this ep! Also this is how I envision my War Forged monk that I use in DnD fights.

Clark gets swarmed by the robots after beating the three and we see that Brainiac also has a red sun emitter on his craft. I talked more about that Superman weakness here

Kara discovers whats going on between Clark and Brainiac and after a chewing out, Kara goes into a trance like state and wakes up in an empty room. She finds her treasures from Thanagar, Euphorix, and H'lven and that wakes her up. She flies off to those planets again seeing them all in ruins and Thanagar shows that she caused all this. All alone and sad by this discovery in the emptiness of space, Kara sees a blue portal open up and its Lois, Jimmy, Mallah and the Brain from season 1 who I talked more about here and here.

And with that we are at the end. Come back next time to see how Lois and Jimmy meet up with Mallah and the Brain again!

TYSM!! I love yapping about tmnt!!

What was your first exposure to tmnt

-When mutants mayhem trailer first come out and people were mad at April’s design lol n TikTok, not the best first impression but what can you do :P

What was your first exposure to rottmnt

-Edit I kept seeing on TikTok and fanart I saw on Instagram lol

when did you became a fan of tmnt

-When i finish the rottmnt show and movie but in August of last year

Which iterations are you familiar with

-I’ve watched rottmnt, Batman vs tmnt, tmnt 2012 and mutant mayhem. I’m in the process of watching tmnt 2003, and 1987 (I’m on season one for both😔). I’m also planning to watch the bayv movies in the future but tbh those movies kinda scare me /hj

which is your favorite iteration?

-Definitely Batman vs tmnt! I don’t know little to nothing about Batman but it’s still a good watch, it’s criminally underrated and I personally recommend it

Which turtles is usually your favorite

-Mikey and Donnie :D

who is your favorite version-specific turtles

-A hard one to answer, it’s a tie between rise!Donnie, 12!Raph, Batman!Donnie, and 87!Raph :P

Favorite iteration of Leo

-Probably rise,12, and mutant mayhem/tales of tmnt

Favorite iteration of Raph

-12 and 1987

Favorites iteration of Donnie

-Batman and tmnt donnie and rise

Favorite iteration of Mikey

-Batman vs tmnt (rise!mikey is a really close second)

Favorite iteration of Splinter

-Probably rise, idk my opinion on him is really confusing

Favorite iteration of April

-Rise, mutant mayham is a close second :P

Favorite iteration of Casey

-Probably 12, they did him so dirty in season 4 and 5😔

Favorite iteration of Shredder

-idk honestly, but if I have to pick then probably 2012 or 2003

Who’s your favorite villain

-idk, probably big mama from rottmnt :P I also really like Stockman

Who your favorite ally

-Renet probably, idk I like her personality in 12

Favorite tmnt theme song

-2003 and 12 (rise is a close second)

Favorite story arc

-The barn arc in 12 it had some problems (the big foot episode is a big example) but I like it

Favorite type of pizza

-pepperoni pizza, it’s basic but it’s good

What’s one thing you would like to see explored more in turn art/fics

-That 12!Casey does graffiti (or at least I think he did?? Idk I haven’t watch 12 since October), I think that’s all :P

One headcanon that you have

-I have a lot of tmnt hcs but one of them is that 12!leo is autistic, I got this hc thanks to one of my friends

A common headcanon that you reject

-idk, I agree with common tmnt hcs

What’s is one piece of tmnt canon that you dislike/ignore

-most of the stuff that happened in 12 tbh, but if I have to pick one then the whole love “Triangle” between 12!April, Donnie and Casey, that’s the main reason I ship them as poly

What was the first thing you’ve made for tmnt

-I drew rise!donnie as human while I was watching the series, I still like that doodle even if it’s pretty old now lol

What your favorite thing you’ve made for tmnt

-idk if this counts but my tmnt fan iteration/au, if that don’t count then the paper dolls I made of my au Donnie and Mikey awhile back

Which character do you write/draw most often

-Probably Donnie, more specifically, donnie as a human for some reason

Which character relationships are your favorite to write/draw

-maybe April dynamics with the turtles in rottmnt, don’t get me wrong I love a good ship as much as the next person, but I have a soft spot for platonic stuff

Which character do you have the hardest time drawing/writing

-Figuring out how to draw the 12!turtles is a pain, also rise!raph kinda

Do you draw for one specific iteration, or multiple

-I draw multiple, but I mainly draw rottmnt, however currently I’m obsessed with my own fan iteration so I’ve been draw/talking about a lot of that recently

Do you generally stick close to canon, or diverge from it

-I think I stick close to canon, i change it one or 2 stuff (mainly it being hcs and designs) but yeah

Do you give the turtles tails

-yes

AAAA ONCE AGAIN TYSM FOR ALL THE ASKS!! Sorry if i miss any, there were a lot of questions but I loved answering them!! <3

I just watched Batman 1x34 "Batman Makes the Scenes"

[ariaadagio]

Things I loved about S6

Spoilers below the cut:

1. I never thought I’d enjoy Lucifer being a touchy-feely talks-about-his-feelings hug addict. If you’d asked me in S1, I’d say “holy out of character, batman.” But OMG I loved this development. The man is an expressive octopus, now, and I just cannot deal with how adorable that is.

2. Chloe. Chloe. Chloe. Chloe. Lucifer said Chloe’s name like 47 times this season and I WILL NEVER TIRE OF IT.

3. So. Many. Callbacks. 

4. So. Many. Little. Details. Like this:

5. The Ghost homage in the everything is fine room.

6. Dan being a ghost and dealing with his guilt!

7. G O R G E O U S   M A E V E   W E D D I N G.

8. No Deckerstar wedding. 

9. Ella’s apocalypse board! I had FEEI flashbacks. 

10. Rory serving up big fat servings of character development for both Lucifer & Chloe.

11. Carol. I did not expect to like this guy but I ended up loving him. What a great dude.

12. The first thing cartoon Lucifer does is check to see if he’s got bits.

13. Chloe also checks herself, but later. Lol.

14. CARTOON LUCIFER.

15. Lucifer performing with a drag queen. 

16. Lucifer’s duet with Rory.

17. All the Lucifer performances lol.

18. Ella finds out!

19. Ella finds out without being told!

20. LUCIFER FLEW WITH CHLOE. I REPEAT. LUCIFER FLEW WITH CHLOE.

21. Michael is scrubbing Hell’s floors with a toothbrush. Hee!

22. SO MUCH LUCIFER & DAN.

23. EVEN MORE LUCIFER & ELLA.

24. THE MOSTEST DECKERSTAR.

25. I never in my fucking life thought I’d enjoy watching Lucifer be a parent, but ... yup. Lucifer being a parent. How do you do this to me, show?

26. Chloe becoming a detective again!

27. Amenagod.

28. Linda’s vision of Godifer with socks and Birkenstocks. 

29. Lucifer did not become God.

30. The nightmare that is this show’s Hell canon is getting a major facelift. 

31. The facelift is turning Hell loops into Linda’s office. 

32. Maze & Lucifer’s goodbye. Scoop my heart out with a spork, I can’t watch this without crying. This was so long in the making. Beautiful.

33. Linda was writing a book about Lucifer. I hope she revisits it when her embarrassment about the draft has cooled. Because holy hell I imagine Lucifer is a fascinating as fuck case study and I bet it would sell like hotcakes in the psychology community.

34. Lucifer gaining control over his invulnerability. 

35. So. Many. Heartfelt. ILYs.

36. Trixie & Dan’s final scene. Return with the spork and finish me off, please.

37. Lucifer has a picture of Dan on his nightstand.

38. Chloe has Trixie’s Devil art on her desk.

39. Chloe makes Lieutenant! YASSS, GIRL. GET IT!

40. Adam is a douchey dudebro and his casting is just. Ugh. Perfect.

41. Eve walking herself down the aisle.

42. Linda walking Maze!

43. Fight scenes!

44. CHLOE AND LUCIFER FIGHTING TOGETHER.

45. The Magic Castle. 

46. So much great humor. 

47. So much Deckerstar! (I know I already listed this but I feel it was enough to merit two mentions)

48. The writers playing with perspectives in the episode where Linda’s book got read. 

49. Science gak.

[gaddaboutgriffon]

So working on the timeline but since this is going to be a fixit/addition fic for the young justice cartoon I am going to start by breaking down the ages for characters by season.

Season 1

Season 1 takes place over about a year’s time so characters age a year.

Clark/Superman - 33 turns 34 by end of season

Bruce/Batman- 30 to 31

Danny/Superboy 1/ Nova /Dan-El - 14, by end 15.

Dick/Robin - 13 to 14

Wally/Kid Flash - 15 to 16

Kadur Ahm/ Aqualad - 16 to 17

Roy/Speedy/Red Arrow- 16 to 17

Connor/Superboy 2 - looks 16, speed grown in 3-4 months with psychic programming education. Danny considers him a little brother despite being physically bigger since he doesn’t really have any social skills or real life experience.

Not officially on team

Ellie/ Ellenor/ Nor-El - clone body 2 ish months looks and acts like 2 year old

Dan/ Jordan/ Jor-El jr - clone body 2 ish months looks and acts like 2 year old

These next people join the team as the in episode 3 or later.

Magan/Miss Martian - looks 15 but only because how slowly Martians mature. She is actually over 40. Danny does NOT approve of her flirting with Connor.

Artemis Crock /(why did she use her name as her hero name? We can have Danny tease her about it.) - 15 to 16

Jazz/Wondergirl 1- 16 to 17

Victor/Cyborg - 17 to 18 he had his accident that robotisized him at age 16. Thinking of having him and Tucker helping in episode 6 Infiltrator and those data stealing nanites. Just in a hacker duo capacity and officially join later.

Tucker/Tech Pharaoh (maybe just Pharaoh?) - 14 to 15. When Victor has the accident that turns him to a cyborg, Tucker becomes extra clingy sticking to him like glue. Reason being that victor wasn’t as into tech in this au until after the accident and Tucker is making sure he is there to fix if any of his brother’s mechanical parts malfunction. This honestly annoys Cyborg but is heart warming he cares that much.

Zatana (another one for Danny to tease) - 16 to 17

Samantha/Green Witch - 14 to 15

Not on the team

Valarie/Red Huntress - 15 yeah she isn’t joining any hero teams till season two or three and will be more of an antagonist.

There is a 6 year time skip between seasons 1 and 2 in there series that I would like to explore more. But what happens as far as I know. At 16 Dick has a falling out with Bruce and runs off and starts the Teen Titans with Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and I am going to throw Danny in there for a bit. Tucker moves between titans and young justice as tech support. I’ll be honest I am not sure what to do with Sam. So I think I will leave her with young justice. But Zatana becomes a full Justice League member. I might do that for Jazz, but actually I am thinking of having Jazz go civilian and basically work on cleaning up Arkham. Wally and Artemis also try going civilian when they turn 18 to go to College.

At this point Danny and Superman have reconciled and Connor and the Twins are officially added to the family. Oh Clark married Lois in season 1 and and Jon is born in the time skip.

Jason becomes Robin and is on the Young Justice team for a couple years before he dies. I am tempted to have Danny end Joker for it. As far as anyone knows Joker just disappeared. Danny used intangibility to put him in rock about a mile underground. No one knows it was him.

Then Kaldur’s girlfriend Tella dies. And Dick comes up with the plan have Kaldur pretend to join his bio dad Black Manta to infiltrate The Light. I am making a change and having Lex attempt to quit and leave the Light but is blackmailed into staying. Which means Red Huntress is still working as an agent of The Light.

Then Garfield/Beastboy’s mother is killed for opposing Queen Bee and ends up taken in by Miss Martian. Which brings us to

Season 2

Add 6 years to the people above for their ages.

Tim/Robin 3 - 14

(The series has Barbara/Batgirl but I always thought it was weird to add her in season 2 when she would be older than this kids. So I am just going to leave her in Gotham. She is 19.)

Cassie/Wonder girl 3? ( no idea what happened to Donna Troy maybe put her with the titans) - 15

Garfield/Beastboy - 13

???/ Bumblebee (why do I not know her civilian name?) - 17

???/ Lagoonboy (don’t care about his name. He was a hot head jerk) - 17? 18?

Raven- 19

Starfire- 21?

Bart/Impulse - 13? 14?

That is all I have in me for the night. @confusedshades hope that helps.

Super Phantom

Writing prompt #3

Danny reveals his ghost half to his parents and they took it well accepting him. As a result the doctors Fenton then backed out of the weapons deal they had with the GIW and are actively protecting Phantom from them.

The GIW don’t give up even after the anti ecto acts are being repealed and sabotaged the gas tank for Nasty Burger’s grill. This causes the explosion that would Kill Danny’s family and friends there for Jazz’s graduation celebration. Clockwork foresaw of a Dan event happening and froze time to take and de-age Danny, Jazz, Sam, Tucker and Vallarta. (Clockwork is a jerk and frankly blames Jack and Maddie for making the he portals that caused both Vlad and Danny’s halfa status and a lot more work for him. He is letting those two die.)

Clockwork then sends the Deaged to babies/toddler to different places in the Yong Justice cartoon DC universe. All the kids are liminal and have powers.

Jazz now a 3 year old is sent to Hippallita on Themescira. (Excuse my spelling) liminal powers make her strength on par with Amazons.

Sam, age 1 as well and sent to Giovanni Zattarra. Three year old Zatana gets a younger sister that also has the gift of magic. Especially nature/plant magic.

Tucker I had a hard time deciding but eventually chose Lucius Fox. (If you can think of someone better go ahead and make suggestions.)

Vallarie was Supposed to be sent to Ted Kord, but Lex Luthor was trying to tap into the watchtower’s zeta tubs but accidentally got clockwork’s portal instead. It cased he basket to be dropped instead of gently set down. Startled, two year old Vallarie instinctively activates her ghost tech armor. Now that is a curious unexpected asset Lex will find a way to utilize.

And finally deaged to one year old Danny is sent in a in a basket with a solar system print blanket with a envelope sitting on top. The portal opens and the basket is carefully set on the table with the note. Then clockwork places a folder thick with other papers of to the side. He retreats into the portal closing it behind him just as the apartment door is opening.

Clark Kent has just finished his third week of work at the Daily Planet, the evening patrol and even grocery shopping. Thoughts of the paper he needs to write and turn in the morning are on his mind as he enters his apartment in time to notice a Green glow wink out of existence from his kitchen door. He drops the now forgotten grocery bags when he hears the tiny heartbeat and rushes over to the basket on the table.

A sleeping baby. A baby! Wha- how had anyone. When his brain stops stalling he notices the letter. It reads:

Superman,

The boy’s name is Danny. You are the most likely to survive him learning to use his powers as they emerge. His parents died trying to protect him. It is not safe for him here.

I have already forged the legal documents naming you as his godfather and a cover story in the attached folder. Also three gold coins will be sent to you each month as child support. If anyone else looks at this letter the text will change to simply read that you are the godfather of this recently orphaned boy.

Clockwork.

Clark stood in shock rereading the letter in shock a dozen times. Before Lois snapped him out of it.

“Hey Smallville, it may not be Gotham but even in Metropolis you shouldn’t just leave your door open.” She called as she entered from the hall. Then she noticed the spilled bags of groceries on the floor. And came in. “Are you ok? You may be a klutz but you always pick u- Oh My God, That’s a Baby!”

Well that is enough for tonight. I will add on more later. Wonder how quickly this would grow if I don’t tag anyone? Eh just a few. @bloggerspam @confusedshades @hypewinter @zylev-blog @kizzer55555

Episode 34 arrives and it’s a MUCH NEEDED breath of first air. I mean, this episode could have actually BEEN a 99 Adventure episode. I guess at least one person on the production team has actually seen the old show at least once!

In my opinion, it doesn’t quite equal the cuteness, silliness, and personality of similar 99 episodes, but it comes very close, and it’s certainly the best we’ve had in a long long while.

And it’s all because of these two.

More below!

The episode bizarrely begins with Tailmon barking to communicate with Komondomon. Which raises the question, if no one could talk with Komondomon before because he can only bark, how were they communicating? Did Lopmon just tell Komondomon everything he needed to know and tell the kids “just follow his lead” or something??

Also Tailmon’s opening line being her barking is pretty surreal. And yet, fitting for a cat Digimon who is a dog at Child level.

The kids are shown taking a break - the first sign that this episode is gonna be A Bit Different.

Taichi: Something feels weird. Why aren’t we fighting?

Sora: Taichi, don’t you think you should rest once in a while?

Taichi: I mean, I do, I just got the impression the rest of the world didn’t agree...

Sora: By the way, why do we like this world that constantly tries to kill us and never gives us any pleasant memories so much? Why don’t we just take our partners to the human world and leave this place to its fate?

Taichi: How else am I gonna get an outlet for my pent up aggression and adrenaline junkie issues?

Sora: That’s your backstory?

Taichi: I’m a complicated man.

Komondomon then randomly jumps... into the sea. “Oh no, they’ll drown!” No, they won’t, because Komondomon has the ability to build a dome over his back trapping oxygen inside. Submarimon I get, but Komondomon?

As they dive, Tailmon explains what we learned last week about Millenniumon trying to resurrect himself with a new body. Apparently a very large fragment of him is located undersea in a place called Farga (transliteration TBA). She thinks resentfully about how she was almost absorbed into Millenniumon’s most recent resurrection effort.

Hikari tackles her with a comforting hug, which Tailmon seems a bit discomfited by. But does not object.

Tailmon considers defeating Millenniumon for good to be her personal mission as a Holy Digimon. Patamon sees her determination and does his best to put on his game face too. It’s like being glared at by a sock puppet.

Tailmon: I can’t allow Hikari to be put in danger. It’s my job as the Holy Digimon -

Tailmon: - gosh darnit and she’s just so cute too!

They wind up getting hit by a rip current or something?? and thrown into another weird submarine sort of thing. They discourteously break a hole in it and wind up inside a self-sustaining underwater kingdom, apparently, which instantly goes on Red Alert as Manbomon come to attack them.

This is Daipenmon, or Big Penguin Monster. I love him. He is glorious. Gaze upon his expression of perpetually stoned haze.

Daipenmon: You try steering this thing every day in and out nonstop without turning to hard drugs.

She attac!

While fighting, some Mantaraymon break in through the hole they made and the Manbomon go to drive them off as apparently they are not welcome. Then MarineAngemon appears in all her creepy glory and they sort everything out.

MarineAngemon: Oh, Tailmon, I see you’re a Holy Digimon! I can tell by your Holy Ring. I have one too.

Takeru: Patamon, why don’t you have a Holy Ring?

Patamon: .... -.-’

Look! See! So cute! They are floating on bubbles! All the kids get their own and each has an individual design that shows their personality. Here Tailmon tries desperately to keep Hikari from falling off. I missed this kind of thing! Flashbacks to Monzaemon’s Toytown...

Turns out MarineAngemon is extremely small and the scene before was all “don’t pay attention to that man behind the curtain” type scare tactics. Not very effective since no matter how big MarineAngemon gets, she’s still extremely adorable. She invites them to stay the night. I really expected it to be a trap, but it wasn’t.

OH MY GOD IS THAT FOOD ARE THEY EATING ACTUAL FOOD OMG OMG

quick someone alert the producers! Someone’s having FUN with this show! I was starting to think that was illegal or something!

It’s not AS fun as when they went to Devimon’s illusory castle in 99 Adventure and stuffed their faces after starving and living on potentially poisonous eggs for a week... but I’ll take it.

Meanwhile an undersea band plays music and Taichi ACTS LIKE THE FIFTH GRADE CHILD THAT HE IS. For about 0.5 seconds but HEY he did something child-like! holy cheez wiz batman!

Hikari is mysteriously absent so Tailmon goes to find her. Turns out she’s asked MarineAngemon to heal Komondomon who is tired and wounded from their journey. Tailmon’s like, “Aw, what a nice person she is.” I’m all for exceptionally kind-hearted Hikari, but taking care of Komondomon should have been priority 1 for EVERYONE. At least Sora should have thought of it. I can see Taichi being too forward-focused, and Takeru a dumb eight year old, but Sora would definitely have thought about Komondomon.

Clearly the show wanted to establish how nice Hikari is, but I hate when shows inadvertently make all the other characters look like asses just to trump up the current star...

Taichi’s digivice glows and...

... MINI KOUSHIROU RETURNS!!! Hurray!

Um, what’s that Sora’s drinking? A mimosa? o.O

Well anyway, Koushirou just shows up to remind everyone of the situation with the satellites and that things are getting worse.

Taichi: Do you have any idea what we can do about it?

Koushirou: No, but I’ll keep you posted.

Taichi: Thanks for nothing braindead

Koushirou: That’s it! You’re not the man I knew in episode 3 anymore! I want a divorce!

Taichi: Fine with me it’s not like you’re ever home anyway!

Koushirou: Well at least I’m not cheating with YAMATO!

Taichi: I HAVE NEEDS!

*cough*

Uh, I know Taichi is shorter than Sora, but he looks... pretty tiny here... lol. Or maybe Sora’s just had a growth spurt again.

They spend the night sleeping in bubbles. Aw.

By the way, question: the kids seem able to walk and breath normally in MarineAngemon’s kingdom... but the fish-type Digimon can also swim around normally. And it seems the kids wouldn’t be able to survive in the ocean itself, but they and the fish can both survive here? And yet bubbles? What... what kind of scientific anomaly is this place??

So... MarineAngemon’s kingdom appears to be a Whamon’s corpse! X’D Wow that’s dark.

They are attacked by Anomalocarimon! For reasons. Actually, they did explain earlier that the ocean Digimon have been more aggressive lately and it seems to be the influence of Millenniumon’s stone in Farga or whatever.

Daipenmon: This sucks I don’t have health insurance

Tailmon frantically tries to fight off the intruders while also keeping Hikari out of danger. This entire episode is about Tailmon wanting to protect Hikari and keep her at arm’s length so she doesn’t end up in danger, while Hikari just keeps trying to stay close to Tailmon and support her.

Tailmon: I can’t take you with me, Hikari. It’s too dangerous.

Hikari: Fine. Big brother, will you bring me into the heat of the action with you?

Taichi: Sure thing.

Tailmon: ...

In his defense, Taichi does seem a bit freaked when Hikari TAKES A FLYING LEAP off MetalGreymon toward Tailmon.

(no I really love that Taichi immediately understands why Hikari wants to fight and takes her right to her partner without even a token “nuu but you’re still a baby.” I mean, if Yamato’s cool with Takeru being in danger all the time, Taichi shouldn’t be much worried about it...

Hikari has a flashback! Turns out she’s heard Tailmon calling for her since she as a little kid!

She caught one of Angewomon’s feathers back then too.

Hikari promises Tailmon that she’ll be by her side. Awww.

Hands again.

Crest of Light! I kind of expect that we’ll find out about the Crests and what they mean really fast at the end of the season... although I’m still kind of hoping Mimi is mining Crest crystals atm.

Hikari is able to magically produce a Digivice... I’d completely forgot she didn’t have one till now.

Here I expected Tailmon would evolve, but instead, the power of Light appears to give everyone a power boost like it’s done in the past. They all glow with their Crest colors, kids and partners alike (except for some reason Tailmon glows yellow???) and launch a joint attack on Anomalocarimon and defeat him. Yay.

Then they say goodbye to MarineAngemon and go on their way, I guess to Farga.

So... yeah! it was a nice episode. It had a theme. There was fighting, but it didn’t overwhelm everything else. There was character development. I really can’t complain about it. And it was SHOCKING that Taichi had so few lines (compared to what’s become the norm - a GOOD shock but still I was like “omg what’s going on!!”)

I am just confused because why is this sort of episode happening when we haven’t seen it in ages? What happened in that interim between when they all met up after the first team split up and just now that prevented the show writers from having fun with the show and just writing nonstop fighting all the time? I’m so confused. It makes no sense. Still suspecting that they couldn’t get anyone to come in and voice characters for long enough so they just focused on Sanpei Yuuko/Taichi, but without the others they couldn’t figure out how to push the show forward and make it fun too... Idk. It’s so weird. But oh well. We got a good episode, and maybe it’s a sign of changes to come. I hope so.

Next week...

We get attacked by a scary looking Digimon and Hikari... Idk, thinks she can block the attack somehow? haha. Aw but look how awesome she is protecting her brother and Greymon!

Hikari gets touched by the dark powers! Oh noes!

And more cuteness.

The episode title name-drops Angewomon, which surprises me because I figured they’d hold off on her and give Tailmon Nefertimon for an evolution first. But *shrug* whatever! Looking forward to it.

34. „Oracle was taken“ (Arrow Season 4.11 „A.W.O.L.“)

Felicity gets her codename Overwatch in this episode, however when Oliver calls her that he mentones: "Was gonna go with Oracle, but it's taken." This was a well crafted bit of meta-humor, since the line worked as a wink to the fans that the Batman mythology was being respected and there is Barbara Gordon working as Oracle somewhere on Earth-1 while it admitted at the same time that the show version of Felicity Smoak was more or less directly ripped of her.
