A ton of memories, flashbacks, watching this on Saturday Mornings!!
Jason Todd might be dead (again), and fans are being asked whether he should be (... again).This week’s episode of DC Universe’s Titans ended with a cliffhanger, as the superhero soap opera is wont to do. Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) and Starfire (Anna Diop) were unable to stop the assassin Deathstroke (Esai Morales) from dropping Jason Todd (Curran Walters) off of a building. The young Robin plummeted and the show cut to black, leaving fans in the lurch for a week.But in the meanwhile, DC Universe’s forums have something for them to do: Vote on whether Jason should live or die.“Will he live or will Jason Todd die?” says the poll description. “Take the poll below to let your voice be heard! This isn’t the first time that Jason’s fate was left to the whims of others; will history repeat itself or will he live to mouth off another day?”The description refers to the 1988 Batman story arc A Death in the Family, in which the second issue ended with the potential death of Jason Todd, the second Robin. Readers were offered the opportunity to call a 1-900 number and vote on whether he should survive.
In the current age of Peak TV, fans of genre television are definitely getting spoiled. Horror fans get Hannibal and American Horror Story, science fiction fans have Westworld and Stranger Things, and fantasy buffs are enjoying Game of Thrones and American Gods.Check out the link for MORE!
Fans who have been waiting for great superhero storytelling have an abundance of riches at their disposal, from the various Netflix Marvel offerings to Gotham, Arrow and FX’s Legion.
However, before viewers get too complacent and accustomed to the fantastic offerings at their fingertips, it’s a good idea to remember where superhero storytelling was just a few short years ago. When it began in 2006, NBC’s Heroes seemed like a strong and intelligent series, but by the time it limped into its third and fourth seasons, it was clear that television still hadn’t cracked exactly how to make longform superhero storytelling compelling.
"Marvel, the company, and especially Jeff Loeb, who runs Marvel Television, he's a clever dude. All those people over there are pretty clever and they love talent. There's no giant commitment for me at Daredevil. Like I didn't have to sign my life away at all. When Jeff tells me there's something coming up and if I'm available, I'll be there. And because it's written so well, I'm going to show up. I'm going to do everything I can because the writing is so good. And then there's a company like Netflix and they're not pressuring you either. They just want good material, good content. They give you money to make good content, so they're not pressuring actors to sign their life away either.... I think that there's this common ground where they say, 'Look, if the material is good are you going to show up?' and I said, 'Definitely'."
