As I said last week, I hoped they revealed the secret soon, because I was about five seconds away from no longer giving a sh*t. ![]() It's about goddamned time too! I like mysteries as much as the next person, but this one was dragged out wayyyy too long. This week on The Flash, we finally, at long freaking last, learn the true identity of Savitar. Or move to a new house with better reception. I guess I'm gonna have to invest in a bigger and better antennae. So I didn't get to watch The Flash on Tuesday, and had to scramble to find an alternate source, hence the delay. I even called the station to see if they were having technical difficulties, and they had no idea what I was talking about.Īpparently sometime in the past week, someone erected a fifty story, lead-lined building between my house and the Channel 7 broadcast tower. I have this stupid indoor antennae that looks like a black plastic placemat, and I moved it all over the room trying to pick up the signal, but no dice. gone.Īll the other channels were still there, but for some reason that one wouldn't come in. This past Tuesday I sat down to watch it, and Channel 7 was just. For the past three years I've been watching The Flash over the air on my local The CW station, Channel 7. His CGI Kalanorian look, with the purple head and third eye, is disappointing, especially knowing that earlier seasons brought Gorilla Grodd and King Shark to life vividly.Sorry this review is so late, but it was unavoidable. His human look is akin to Thorfinn ( Devan Long) in Ghosts, a CBS sitcom, lessening his impact. The appearance of Despero is also uninspiring. The story would be more interesting had it focussed solely on Thawne’s villainy. He exists solely as a means of exposition and a veiled threat. The sin of Despero is that he is not critical to the plot. Barry doesn’t agree, so he and Despero engage in a final battle before Despero is defeated and disappears. Despero now sees Thawne as the threat and should die. Barry travels back in time and resets the original timeline. Barry, having bargained for time, learns that Thawne disrupted the timeline. Having seen the 2031 destruction of the Earth, he blames the Flash, and travels to the present to kill the Flash and stop Armageddon. ![]() A former ruler of Kalanor, Despero was exiled, eventually arriving on Earth. Gag.ĭespero ( Tony Curran) sets off the events of Season 8’s “Armageddon”. This season should have brought out the big guns, but instead follows a scavenger hunt for MacGuffin Totems, ending with Supergirl somehow being able to communicate with the world, again, inspiring them to do more. Tragic backstories weaken villains, who are now just pitied. In the pursuit of the totems, you also get to see Nyxly’s tragic backstory. Everything she does seems more mischievous than deadly. She creates life-like beasts that spread mayhem, yet you never get the feeling that anyone is in peril. Nyxly is not menacing, certainly not enough to be the prime antagonist of Supergirl’s final season. Nyxly finds herself on this list more a victim of the storyline than for being a bad villain. Learning of the plan, Supergirl resolves to find the totems before Nyxly does, leading to a final showdown that sends Nyxly back to the Phantom Zone. Now on Earth, Nyxly sets out to gather the AllStone Totems, which would allow her control over all creation. When the Superfriends do save Kara, they inadvertently bring along Nyxly. Nyxly’s trickery is soon discovered, and Kara sacrifices her sole means of escape to prevent Nyxly from exacting revenge. Supergirl meets Nyxly in the Phantom Zone, where the imp “befriends” Kara and works with her on an escape. Nyxly ( Peta Sergeant), is a fifth-dimensional imp who is the main antagonist through the last season of Supergirl. Couple that with a missed opportunity to expand the character and here we are. The face looks like a bad cosplayer under layers of thick red paint. ![]() The suit has little to no other color to break up the red. Not bad if it outclassed its roots, but it doesn’t. Red Tornado looks nothing like it does in the comics. The biggest sin levied at Red Tornado is its look. It proved difficult for Supergirl to overcome, and could have turned to the hero we know from the comics. This take on Red Tornado could have been amazing. There would be further confrontations before Supergirl destroys the android for good. Red Tornado starts strong, but Supergirl would turn the tables and damage the android before it escaped. Supergirl ( Melissa Benoist) is asked to fight the android to test its capabilities. Brimming with weaponry, combat skills, and more, Red Tornado was activated. Morrow ( Iddo Goldberg) led the project, and 11 years later would deliver Red Tornado (Iddo Goldberg). The US Army invested $1 billion in developing an android, meant to stop any rogue Kryptonians.
