What did you watch?
I watched another animated flick JUSTICE LEAGUE vs THE FATAL FIVE
In this movie we have a trio of bad guys from the future travel into
the past to free two of their group that are trapped in a prison in
the time of the Justice League. A hero from the future also manages to
travel into the past to stop them but he has a fatal weakness. He
needs regular doses of a drug or else he tends to forget who he is. A
drug that doesn't exist in the JL time. So he forgets most of his
mission other than that there is a Fatal Five and that he needs to
find the Limelight before getting locked away in a mental institution.
Is it new that he’s insane? For that matter is it new that Jessica Cruz is
insane?
I don't know. Not familiar with either of those characters. Perhaps
they were introduced to the comics after I quit reading them. Much
Star Boy has been around since 1961. :-) Originally he had all of Superboy
powers plus the ability to increase the mass of objects to get around the
duplicate powers rule. Somewhere along the line, he lost the Superboy
powers wiki says he’s gone through several incarnations and costume changes
and race swaps. Apparently he’s been insane since the 2006 version which is
well after I stopped reading the Legion.
Jessica Cruz has only been around for 10 years, long after I stoppedGood reason to remember the character.
reading the Legion. I was puzzled as to why I knew who she was until I
finally recalled that someone I know cosplay as her
Wikipedia says that this was a fairly faithful version, except that it was
darkseid that Smashed her ring and killed her and the ring brought her back
more powerful than before
>like with Hal Jordan turning truly evil in that other animated flick.>
That was never my Hal Jordan.
I actually remember that from the comics, but yeah, that was not my Hal
Jordan either
>>The story then proceeds from there as the trio of bad guys proceed to
do bad things.
I'll leave the rest of the story for your enjoyment when watching the
flick as it's a good story. There are some bits that didn't make sense
within the story like an axe that can cut Superman but doesn't cut
Wonder Woman's sword but it was still an enjoyable watch.
Wonder Woman's sword is magic and blessed by Hephaestus. I guess
Hephaestus is tougher than the Persuader. Nominally the atomic ax can cut
through anything.
As far as I'm concerned, *nothing* cuts or breaks that lasso. Period!
I would watch this but once again nothing is free on Apple TV. $3.99 to
rent, $12.99 to buy.
The gray web to the rescue! Thank you, Al Gore.
This was OK. It wasn’t as good as the newer stuff that I’ve praised that
looks to be 3-D for 2-D. But it balances that out by having the older voice
cast.
I’m completely confused by the continuity. The justice league that had
Supergirl certainly knew about the Legion. But these guys don’t.
I take it we actually see the end of the green lantern corp in this movie.
We don't know why it ends but they clearly aren't around in this
future.
I don’t know who the Legion we see at the end of the movie is, but it’s
certainly not the Legion we saw the beginning. Jessica Cruz thanks for them
for coming to the funeral because the dead guy thought so highly of them.
But in fact, the dead guy never would’ve met these people.
What do you mean? Those are among the people that he worked with.
That’s a completely different Saturn girl/Saturn Queen at the end than it
was in the beginning. I wouldn’t even have known who it was if she didn’t
have the Saturn logo on her chest.

>Hell, one of them even asked him at the beginning of the movie if he>
had taken his shot and warning him that "You know what happens if you
don't take your shot." So of course they knew him.
Yeah, that was the beginning Saturn girl, who was like the comics.
>>I liked Mano (the hands of fate) accidentally burning off the Empress’
face. Wikipedia says Jessica killed them all? I guess I blinked. Certainly
Saturn girl should be pissed at her.
Given that they aren't normal humans who knows if they were actually
killed or not. Not sure how dangerous the Empress would be without her
EYE.
That was another stupid part of her plan.
>
>>Actually, the Empress plan has another fatal flaw. Almost all those other
worlds were settled by travelers from earth. Destroying the solar system in
the 21st-century is going to un-create everybody on her team.
Yeah, I don't know what the rules are in that universe for time
travel, but normally what you say is how time travel would work.
There’s no way Batman should have been able to go mano on mano on Mano.
So the ax can slice a ring in half! And Jessica uses Hal’s oath, and
somehow saying it without a power battery or a main power battery or a
ring, or any green energy at all manages to reform the ring and power
herself? I don’t think so.
Yeah, they were going with her being somehow more powerful than anyone
else in the GL, perhaps because she conquered her fears. Sort of like
Batman dealing with his fears of bats by becoming the Night. Notice
how when she powers up she gets that aiming reticule around her eye. I
had thought she was going to somehow get this magical power up by
gathering up the remnants of power on Oa or Mogo, but nope. She just
becomes ultra powerful because she becomes ultra powerful.
Wiki sorry I’ve explains this. They took a storyline with different people
and powers and grafted it onto this movie. Which is probably why it didn’t
make any sense.
