What's that behind ur ear?

I really liked what they did with superion it was cool imo also i hope they continue the theme of giving tick a new costume each season

A terrifyingly good guy

The real question is would it have worked

It was a refreshing take on the trope, that was in a way still terrifying, but not overly so or stupidly so.

It was banal insecurities and a desire to be loved in a guy who could accidently end the world.

The Earth rotating isn't what makes time happen, so spinning it backwards wouldn't reverse time.

Yeah but no one has ever done it yet so how can we know for sure

Listen, Superion! Don't spin the Earth backwards! I think you need to... go and cool your head. Count to ten, or something.

Edgelord is a peach

Superian's just a goofier Plutonian.

Cool my head? Of course! I'll reverse global warming by freezing the oceans! They're sure to love me then!

It's kind of more like a lighter version of Plutonian, but I hope he doesn't go full-Plutonian.

Shit, Erik, whatever happened to you?

Thanks guys, i just started watching the series thanks to this thread

one question tho, english isn't my first language, is Miss Lint some sort of pun, why was she pissed at that name at first, i just thought its her last name.

It's her supervillain name. She got it because her electric powers attracts lint to her.

And what is lint, exactly?

Enjoyable I liked the small circle of low level heroes they've got running around. Nice guys.

Do hope they continue with Lint's madness creeping into her head and maybe find out more about the Orphanage they pulled her and Tinfoil Kevin from.

Wonder how Superion being a felon will effect things.

Bits of fabric. If you've used a clothes dryer you've probably seen it if you had to clean the dryer screen.

dust and other debris that gather into small clumps.

You know about the static cling? That's kind of what happens with her powers sometimes.

Yep he's scary when he's on the edge.

I want a nano butter croissant

That's pretty cool, never thought about it but it would probably happen with electrical powers

Lint is cute

Ah Danger Boat.

What will cause him to take flight next season?

To be with Arthur, flying through the skies together

One of the characters is a talking boat

this show is amazing

Voiced by the always awesome Alan Tudyk

I don't like overkill he's an edgelord and is mean to the boat

So we heard radio chatter about the World Court finding a way to unfreeze the Terror so he can be properly tried.

Will they accomplish it? How will that interact with Superion being detained by his old jailers.

Wrong, Edgelord is edgelord.

There is a guy named Edgelord in this?

The Terror probably was so insistent on killing Superian because he knew this outcome was going to happen

Yea he's a Super Tech Nerd Lint brings in to get her a Super Suit.

He's fine as a side character.

Midnight also knew something was up.

I do wonder if that was connected with him being away from the Flag Five.

Midnight's such a fucking punk, I love it.

Didn't he say as much at the end, right before he was defeated?

There is something behind the scenes. It's not Superion directly. And its not Aegis either as we've seen with their Commander.

So there is some force out there controlling the world.

I meant the Terror. I could swear that, right before he was frozen, he tried to justify the things he'd done as being to protect Earth from Superian -- like, it didn't matter how many people he had to kill if he managed to save the majority from the hero.

Who's ready?

Yea he was trying to take the world back from something

Right, that might have been the line.

"I'm not trying to take over the world -- I'm trying to take it back!"

Rathbone's resurrection got me so hyped. We've got some sort of alien menace coming for Superian and Thrakkorzog as a lovecraftian monstrosity with the power to bring back the dead.

she talks about it in the first season, she has lots of shit cling to her

Just found out that Lobstercules is voiced by Liz Vassey, aka Captain Liberty from the live action FOX show. I was hoping they'd get Patrick Warburton (especially considering he's got a few producer credits on this show), but that was interesting to see.

>The Tick will never co-parent with you

They're like the odd couple. Overkill is abrasive but he really does care about his partner.

neat!

They're probably saving Warburton for something. I hope it's Barry.

Dangerboat gets good digs at Overkill.

Jesus Christ, that's fucking kawaii.

What did they do to you Magneto

I love how it’s acknowledged when Tick gets a new suit.

If they got Townsend Coleman back for a voice, I have to believe they'd eventually bring in Warburton. Seems like it'd be up his alley.

Two yaks and a dog?

Why did Arthur's mom ask what john thinks? is he still alive or can walter commune with the dead or what?

HEY I KNOW THAT GUY

John Wu is Walter's real name. She was asking if he likes her for real or if it was part of the act.

What do you guys think Bronze Star's powers are?

most likely something sensual

Season 3 NOW!

Being loved by everyone

I've been trying to go off context clues but I can't tell what show this is

Molting is a good explanation. He could not be wearing a suit at all.

SPOON!

Oh shit, I thought with the bad fashion and the mention of a bunch of nobody heroes this was one of those Fox X-men series.

Where can I catch it?

Amazon

Standing really still for long periods of time.

When are we getting Chairface!?

Dot is a q.t.

Bump.

What do you want to see in season 3?

Isn't chairface original to the cartoon? So wouldn't the mouse own him now?

Chairface is in the original comics so Ben must own him.

I kind of liked how the heroes in the City were basically low level losers and thats why Arthur and Tick went to New York where REAL heroes lived (like in the original comic)
I guess is a minor thing though really. I enjoyed the show...just hope season 3 doesn't take forever to come out.
They name dropped Man-Eating cow on the show. Wouldn't mind a few characters from comics showing up (paul the samurai, Chainsaw Vigilante)

Do you guys think they're gonna give tick an origin story in season 3 i know the point is that he doesn't have one but maybe the writers will address the theory that arthur created him via hidden superpowers

how's your feet?

Well Ben Edlund is a perfectionist and he worked with Jackson Publick several times on other The Tick iterations.

Hence Venture Bros feels very similar to The Tick in places.

And why it takes so dang long to get episodes out.

I hope not. I like the mystery, and the fact that nobody really cares.

STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THOSE KIDS MAO

Yeah same its just they keep bringing up how tick has no memory of his back story like its some crucial thing even tho they came to the conclusion that his past doesn't matter at all in the first season so its weird how they bring it up a lot again in season 2

Damn, now I want some nanobutter croissants.

Well from the way its been setup it has something to do with Superion arrival. Maybe the explosion of his ship/cell?

That's when all these categories started popping up.

Though I do enjoy the terminology they are using and how very Mutantesque they are in handling them.

Aww I like how he seems to take it as a challenge.

Is Jim Cummings voicing him again.

I really like how the villain of the season was undone by expecting other people to act as rationally as he thought he was acting. He as so certain of himself that he couldn't foresee people disagreeing with him.

And the Terror's going to be unthawed, so he'll no doubt get involved.

>Joan figures something is up with Walter because his note is so brief.

HA!

That and the Telepathic Twins Veranda and Miranda, who seem to have a thing for Arthur.

>Joan: You two really are the good guys, aren't you?
>Tick: (grimly) Joan, we're trying to be.
>Tick takes a bite of the starfish and chews it up to feed the lobsters.
That was hilarious.

Dot having powers is fine because she needs them to keep up with Overkill, but Kevin having powers I thought was unnecessary.

It was shown before he was really smart and was able to help the Tick and the doctor guy in season 1. At least I think.

I wonder if the tin foil hat stops him from making things he touching invisible or what the deal is behind his power.

Tinfoil keeps the government from reading his mind.

I think that would be outrageous for the new Tick world. Most of the characters are less over the top and more realistic in a way.

It does place in a time after an age of heroes, so maybe now that they are all coming back we could see more weirder characters.

I don't know, the hint at the last episode indicates it's gonna get weirder.

I didn't think about it till now but Superian came to Earth in 1908, during the Tunguska Event. I wonder how much of world history was changed in the process? Other than the obvious creation of superheroes and supervillains and superteams.

He wanted to play the tick again but Amazon wanted to recast

I'm curious about the aliens showing up. Naturally we assume it was for Superion, especially with his reaction, no, wait, especially because his whole deal was based on people loving him, no wait, especially because he left a dude stranded in a dangerous jungle, no wait, especially because he figured if he accidentally kills everyone on the Earth trying to reverse time he can just find another planet to hang out on. Still I wonder if this is a fakeout. That ship shows up because some other fugitive is hiding out on Earth and Superion just flipped because holy shit aliens out of nowhere. He figures this is his big chance at a comeback and inevitably screws it up again and possibly even starts shit with the space cops. Like it turns out he's the only one who can hear them so he kicks the shit out of their ship and claims he thwarted an alien invasion.

If you saw the first season, they hinted that the thing Superian arrived in was a prison. From the way it sounded it seemed like he fucked up somehow prior to coming to Earth, got arrested and imprisoned, and only after landing on Earth did he decide to be a superhero and to "be a good person," as he put it.

Don't forget that The Terror was also hinting something was up before he got frozen.

Going all out on the Superion parody party and riffing on Superman was the best, especially him flying around with the totally-not-Infowars guy who pissed him off. "Can you read my mind?" Great stuff.

The new heroes were great, but I was disappointed that we really didn't get any new supervillains to match. Lobsterculese was a twist. I guess we got Edgelord? He doesn't seem to count. John Hodgman had potential but I mean come on. For a guy with a human furniture operation and a fakeout death to his alter ego The Duke his ultimate plan was shit.

It's all part of the twist!

i think he was blaming a.e.g.i.s. for the acts of Dr. Hobbes and his criminal ambitions.

I thought Terror's warning was about Aegis but they turned out (mostly) alright.

>2019

Amazon is so racist. Why is this allowed? Is Raimi behind it?

Attached: group.jpg (2782x1800, 758K)

I don't know. There's still stuff from season 1 that's sort of in limbo, like Tick possibly being a robot.

I was thinking he was referring to Superian since he got frozen right before he was gonna elaborate on what he was gonna say. But I guess we'll find out.

Just finished the second season.
I loved it.

They did this sort of thing before. Like right after the issue with the Red Scare in the Edlund comics, Arthur remarks on how the Red Scare looked a lot like the Tick. And then they just dropped it after a panel. I don't know if they'll ever address the Tick's origins, because they never really had to do that.

I'd prefer that actually, though the usual theory kicked around these threads is that Arthur is still creating The Tick due to secretly being a reality warper. Kind of funny, really. This picked up some steam after his sister found she could do the time warp again, but at the same time part of the theory is that The Terror did die but Arthur's obsession created him too with The Tick created to balance his mental scales, so to speak. I still prefer him always remaining a mystery and, as you point out, tease the hell out the audience with sort-of-reveals that never stick.

That was just a joke on the square-jawed, muscle-bound hero trope.

It didn't vary as wildly as the first season to me and was more consistent. Personally, I think I liked it better than the first. Plus the lobster babies were cute.

The Terror's voice sounds like it hurts to do. Like Jackie Haley is tearing his throat the fuck up trying to sound as old as possible.

And STILL not as bad a pain as working with Zack Snyder.

I wonder if Lobsterculese (or Atlantis in general) has any connection to The Mighty Sea-Man, King of the Briny Deep?

Wasn't Arthur's suit and Project Achilles designed with anti-Superian purpose in mind?

>STUPEED!! YOU SO STUPEED!!!

Yea that is why The Terror stole it.

I wonder if it'll all come down to Superian vs Arthur.

They ripped off a TON of Venture Bros shit, like General Treister exactly.

Which is good, since the dudes behind Venture worked on Tick, and if you're gonna rip shit off, rip off the best parody ever.

It was good. Missed the big bad villain presence that the Terror offered. I hope we get a season 3 with Chairface or Barry.

the store owner from first season and the mystic nipple dude this season.

helps that they wrote him as a genuine threat instead of a walking old person joke.
>23 skidoo!

i looked at this guy's imdb page. holy shit he's been in a lot. and he played shredder in tmnt 2

And what way to one up an atomic heart than A Black Hole Heart with an Elder God living in it.

I think it's even better uf the give it a purposely overwrought origin like Arthur's suit

"I have obtained the greatest artifical mind in the world"
"Yeah but it looks like a chair"

I kinda assumed he had powers already considering all the shit he's done.

I was wondering what that was.

Well he had to take the tinfoil off to use his powers, so there's one answer for you.

Mysitc nipple dude was my favorite of the random heroes that kept popping up.

He was so good that I was honestly expecting him and Bronze Star to be baddies. I'm glad they weren't.

Really. Huh. I was expecting the Flexon to be. Retired but hangs around where he can spy on the others, has a known gambling problem even playing games at criminal hideouts, and he really seemed to want to dig some secret about Lobsterculese which given they'd already made slips around Hobbes when pressed about offspring seemed to be what Flexon was digging for in the guise of helping his client.

I'm glad he wasn't, though I wouldn't be surprised if his morality turned out to be as flexible as the rest of him. I guess it still was where gambling was concerned.

I really hope they bring in Jackson Publick to write an episode, since he was involved with a comic, the cartoon, and the previous live-action show.

What does it say about me that I'm pleasantly surprised that none of the actual heroes weren't evil all along? Like Tick spelling out a theme of the season being "good guys can turn evil and evil can turn good" but none of the actual superpeople did any of that.

I like that it's not too heavy, it's like and fun, has a charming humour instead of a lol random type.

Anyone know how this is doing in terms of viewing figures? Guessing the budget is tiny but I'm still worried it could get cancelled.

I definitely thought Bronze Star and Flexon were going to be the baddies, so it was nice to see they really weren't.

I think the reason there weren't as many new supervillains is because they spent time keeping you wondering who the villain was. Like for instance you're set up to think Lobstercules was the villain at first, or if Flexon might betray the team since he comes in for free croissants and gambles a lot. This even applies to Miss Lint and Edgelord, because the way stuff was set up you think they were going all the way to be heroes, but it turned out they were trying to steal a lot of shit from AEGIS. And even then, Miss Lint still isn't completely a villain anymore. She could've attempted to kill Arthur and Dot right there to get rid of potential obstacles, but she doesn't.

Superion was like teetering on the edge of "Misguided evil" all season and would have killed everyone on earth if the space cops hadn't shown up

Part of this is because they use over-arching plots as opposed to just episodes where Arthur and Tick get caught up in an adventure easily wrapped up in 30 minutes give or take, so there's no villain of the episode plots.

I wonder if he was always like this or is it just lingering bismuth poisoning? I ask because his instabilities are a plot point in season 1 which showed up when he first came in contact with the VLM.

50/50

He came to Earth in a prison (I forget which episode it was Dr. Karamasov said something related to Superian translated to "prison", probably the Bismuth?), so I assume the bismuth was used to keep him in control. From what we've seen on the show, Superian might be a guy with mental issues who genuinely wants to do good but doesn't know the best way to go about it, and desires to be loved.

Dr. Doll Parts also said Urmanians were driven by paranoia, so there's that.

I'm guessing that Superion was a criminal on his home planet and was shot into space as punishment, and his landing on Earth was a freak accident. But he spent a lot of time locked in floating space prison and had a lot of time to think about what he did, and he's decided he wants to be a better person.

But he isn't 100% sure on how to make that happen.

Superion is obviously a powerful individual that can save people. But he is not, by nature, a good person. He is really good when he has a simple problem that he can punch into submission with his overwhelming power, but he doesn't handle complex situations well. And because he mostly does good as a way to validate himself, he responds VERY poorly to harsh criticism.

I mean he could also have been imprisoned unjustly, too. Seems unlikely but hey it is a possibility. Then again he arrived on the magical jenga stack which deliberately slowed and then exploded to reveal him, so that does seem odd behavior for a prison, or even a prison break.

No Superian just like you know take a break have some good

Everyone forgets that The Terror knows Superian's true weakness, and his entire plan, including delicious Brown Tingle Cola, was engineered to bring down a hero believed completely untouchable by any villain. Thus he masterminded the secret ingredient in every can of Brown Tingle Cola which, despite not being Terror Free™ still has Tingle Classic with the original secret ingredient, the true key to defeating Superian, The Terror's piss.

Well. Overkill clearly cares about DB in season 2. Watch it to see. Also Edgelord is the best thing ever. He walks between the raindrops.

>Also what did u guy's think of the new season

I didn't watch it. I got so fucking bored that I never even finished the first season. Worst incarnation of The Tick so far.

It's still hilarious how she kind of has a type. She wound up marrying Derek, The Terror's old IT guy who set up the wifi in his lair, and now she's teamed up with Edgelord. Fortunately he's not 13 (wait, is he?) or he could very well be the secret son of Derek and Miss Lint.

Warburton is still involved. He's an executive producer. There was talk about him maybe appearing as The Tick's dad.

That's probably because you didn't watch the first season either.

The strength and versatility of bronze. He is, however, weak against tarnishing.

Well, of course. It's completely impossible that somebody could not like something that you like. The only possible answer is that I didn't watch the show.

I'm glad they kept Frank around and hey he finally got what he wanted and Lint made him happy with a huge score of super science shit stolen from AEGIS. Got to wonder, will Miss Lint use all this tech to free The Terror since at this point that would be the biggest score to flaunt and they'd probably have the gear to do it. And it would get him back in the show.

At this juncture I'd rather they leave it open ended who the aliens are after with a mystery over who they are after. Superian? The Tick thinks he's an alien now too and no longer an Urmanian robot?

This is interesting, when you think about it. The Tick's first appearance was at the wharf where it just so happened that the Pyramid Gang had a cache of weapons, materials, and the supply of big bismuth taken from Dr. Karamazov's lab. And if The Tick were an Urmanian Bakkup robot he may have been following the trail from the lab disaster to the United States, suffering some kind of memory failure along the way and forgetting who and what he is.

Or not.

I think both due to the trauma, Dot and Arthur are both reality warpers and they will have Gifted levels of hand holding in the future.

Tick is Arthur's creation, Overkill is dot

Handsy andy was the main backer of the show at amazon, so it's possible.

I've been meaning to watch this, does Chairface show up?

Overkill has been around since they were children though. Albeit under a different alias.

He seems to care a bit too much about the Foot Clan

The Tick could really use more scenes with The Tick, and less of Arthur's dumb family drama.

Attached: 1210554384564.jpg (1062x1532, 267K)

I'm not getting this at all. All Karamazov talks about is Superian took a very strong interest in Urmanian super science and the Urmanian government was pretty damn pissed at him due to misunderstandings with their many, many human rights violations. When he stumbled on the secret to harm Superian the government found out and wanted him to weaponize it. The Terror somehow found out too and that's why he captured Karamazov and blew up the lab. I'm still not seeing any hint that Superian was a prisoner, or the hint of anything sinister until The Terror starts cussing them out.

Overkill was Sharpshooter or whatever his name was on the Flag Five.

My only skills are brick throwing and frog being.

oh shit

fucking awesome, can't wait to finish it. sadly can't really participate in these threads for fear of spoilers
Like that for example. I'm actually relieved, I don't want to see them just being evil because big military ree. they established them as flawed but ultimately good

My guess is that he is mentally ill, got an escape pod or was sent through space between facilities and crashed on Earth by accident. His species live a long time. He was undergoing treatment for his issues and since he wasn't getting any, he started to relapse. The Terror was aware of Superian's mental issues from all the time they spent arching each other and his grand plan was to kill Superian before he had a mental breakdown.

He looks more cyborg than human, he may have started human but whose to say how their abilities work, perhaps they can mess with how existing things work. Maybe she brought him back from the dead.

The tick could have been just some random shmoe before being grabbed by arthur's abilities.

Arthur and Dot make the show though, they endear you to the nonsense that is going on. Without them you'd have no connection to the characters.

What? No Octopaganini?

He was Straight Shooter. That's why he's paired with the flamboyant gayboi partyboat.

Straight shooter and submissive plane

He identifies as a boat

A MALE boat.

They were normal, which made for contrast between their normalcy and the absurd superhero junk. The more the normal people (and Kevin) become a part of the weird superhero stuff, the more it seems like it's just revolving around kinda dull superheroes.

The comedy is ruined because it's just devolving into the same kind of bland live-action superhero TV show it started out as a parody of.

Do you guys think we'll get a Sewer Urchin type character next Season if it happens He was always my favorite

This. I always liked The Tick because it was rooted in absurdity. The Fox live action show wasn't very good, but it at least knew what it was. It reveled in its absurdity.

This new show just takes itself way too fucking seriously. I felt like I was watching Arrow but with even lamer heroes.

>The Fox live action show wasn't very good

The current show beats it out in every conceivable measure. This Tick is so much better it's not even close.

Superian himself recognizes, eventually, Big Bismuth. Not by that name but the notion that it was something that could weaken him and said he hated it. Arthur is surprised but when he presses for more details Superian waves his hand and calls it "baggage."

Since he arrived with it and it weakens him, it can be hypothesized that he was not willingly traveling with a supply of the shit but was most likely being contained by it...until something happened. In the same conversation Superian also hints at the depth of his own narcissism, his joy at the sheer level of adulation heaped on him for defeating The Terror. He admits he should have been more thorough in ensuring The Terror was dead.

No matter what we still have huge questions. Is Superian really a good person? Is he a reformed villain who wants to be good? Was he wrongfully accused or imprisoned by some space tyrants who know his weakness? Or has he made mistakes in the past that left worlds damaged or lifeless as he may have been about to do at the end of season 2 and he's been incarcerated before for such 'whoopsies'?

That's season 1 episode 11, btw, if anyone wants to check the conversation. It's roughly halfway into the episode after Superian wakes up, still recovering from BB poisoning.

It feels like some of this was heavily ignored in season 2. Like the fact that the suit has a lot more features that Arthur found out about. Those hand tasers would have come in handy against the Maine mob or even Doctor Agent Hobbes.

As opposed to something that once was meant to help destroy Superian they wanted Arthur as generally useless as possible so his few victories make him seem scrappier, even if they were pathetic displays of martial prowess.

I disagree. It still has plenty of absurdity, and I would argue has more the air of taking itself seriously. Superheroes have changed, the same with how people consume them as entertainment, and rather like Venture Bros it has taken to emulating them in order to better parody them. I can understand wanting something more like the version you liked, even if it didn't work the first time around, but they're trying something new. I'd argue it serves a better parody of the modern superhero craze by masquerading in the same skin.

This is the worst adaptation ever made. Its like the george clooney Batman and Robin was made into a tv show.

Eh he's still in control and could bank the show with whatever he makes in a day.

I think it more depends on Edlund and his very particular writing style. In that he's a perfectionist

>Its like the george clooney Batman and Robin was made into a tv show.

That's how we know you didn't watch the show.

That's always been part of Ben Edlund's stuff.

Each iteration of The Tick is in part a parody of the hero stuff of the time.

Superion is a fantastic send up to an partially Unhinged Superman.

The homage to the Donner Superman flying scene was a riot.

That and him playing with the idea of flying back in time.

that makes me wonder if his foiler actually worked.

Well Aegis replaced his hands and eyes and he's confirmed as a Category 1 (Near Peak Athletics, Strength and a small healing factor.)

I say at most Straight Shooter was in his late teens when everything went down.

Dunno exactly I'd have to watch the episode with Arthur having that nightmare of The Terror and the Straight Shooter poster in his room. (Which does move between scenes)

Okay flat out Dot and Overkill having a two person dance party is damn adorable.

there is zero evidence to support your theory and it's entirely based around "wouldn't it be cool if this happened too!"

>there is zero evidence to support your theory
That's the thing about those stupid "Last Thursday" theories, since any evidence or lack of evidence is only there because of the theory, any evidence against it was placed intentionally, and any evidence to prove it was removed intentionally.

>Never read the comics and decided to read on tick
>Found out about Hand Grenade Man
>Just a normal guy, but owns one hand grenade so every villain just backs off

I'm in fucking tears, this is amazing

How anyone could not have realized the new show is a sendup of modern Superhero movies after the first season where Arthur's dumb little suit that in previous iterations he made before the story even starts is now a teched up Iron Man suit that is also part of a decades long plot by the villain

The only thing missing was a blue laser firing into the sky

One thing I noticed and like about this show is how child-friendly and innocent the show is.

It's got its dark moments.

"After the papers printed his real name and photo, The Terror's goons broke into Cat-Man-Murphy's compound, executed his puma wife and their litter of child-kittens."
"That's messed up."
"On a bunch of levels."

Are there any figures for the Amazon show?

Did you not see the guy who was lucky enough to be forced through a fine mesh screen?

Is Lobstercules gonna be apart of the main cast now or is she gonna take time to raise her kids offscreen?

There sure is, chum! :^)

Well they are one down on the Flag Five. But I guess it all depends on where Flex keeps his houseboat.

If it winds up near Danger Boat then I could see them again.

Genius bit pulling the reverse mermaid bit so they only have to build half a suit.

My money's on off-screen. The babies are too cgi-heavy, and they clearly couldn't afford an entire costume. The reason she was wearing a black raincoat costume with goggles and boots in the first episode was because they clearly didn't have any costume below the waist. Even after being caught by Aegis and released by Hobbes she's still wearing the same black rubber pants and combat boots.

And The first encounter with Overkill

Were he couldn't find a good enough knife place.

Edlund said that they might have her back on the show:

>But I really enjoyed that whole flow of story, because it goes through a series of stations and keeps reversing or expanding. Lobstercules is a character we'll be learning more about in the future. I think she's gonna get tenure at the local university and teach some kind of maritime history course.

Yep that's his sorta thing. expanding the weirdness of The City.

Though I wonder if they'll still film in New York. Since they got pissed and decided not to build their new Amazon HQ there.

I just want to know why she's still called Lobstercules. Wasn't that something a newspaper came up with before anyone knew she could talk? Doesn't she have an actual name?

There are plenty of f-words (among others) in the first season.

28th amendment. You aren't allowed to ask a hero their real name.

I think that was specifically the authorities can't reveal it, which was tricky with Miss Lint because he wasn't revealing her real name, which he doesn't know, but her villain identity. Doctor Agent Hobbes poopooed that shit but then I have the feeling he knew right away who she was and faked her records to keep her villain ID secret because he wanted someone morally bent on the inside to join him as an empowered enforcer, someone that didn't need mind control so she could think for herself. I'm just guessing but it fits the available data well enough.

no no the tick and arthur tried to tell the stretch dude who she was and he stopped them and told them under the 28th amendment it was a crime to tell anyone a superhero's real identity

she being miss lint

Yes, but he wouldn't be telling her real identity. I think only Overkill knows her first name is Janet anyway. If we are to assume that the 28th Amendment would not stop a villain or even a villain's minion from infiltrating AEGIS then Miss Lint would never have needed to romance Straight Shooter in order to gain the access codes to the Flag Five HQ.

I really want Edgelord and Overkill to meet and have some kind of dark and brooding feedback loop.

There would have to be something to stop Overkill from just killing the kid, but I agree. A game of one-ups-manship of who has the stupidest "cool" sounding one liners about themselves.

Probably some kinda flashback to him and his time with the Flag Five.

Overkill doesn't even walk between the raindrops

This is clearly the best category power
Edgelord is Cat 4 for sure.

But Lobstercules isn't a superhero, she was thought to be a villain.

Makes you wonder if there's a similar rule for villains. Like if you release their real names then their rivals gut them and their families.

Arguably she's no longer considered a villain at the end but Flexon vaguely hinted at her legal status being unresolved. Well, he wasn't vague that there was still part of her status they were fighting, I mean he didn't go into specifically what that was. At the very least I think we can say thanks to Midnight that if she is not an augmented human that isn't a barrier since they recognize non-human sentients. Though maybe there's a special waver you have to get for them?

Like someone else said earlier, I wonder if The Mighty Sea-Man has a link to Atlantis, though he was just a one-off joke about an Aquaman parody who got caught in some tuna nets.

Or more likely nobody ever bothered to ask her what her real name is, or if she even has one, so they just kept calling her Lobstercules.

Or that too. Really the weird part is more why the media would name her after Hercules who is a heroic figure. I found it odd when they first mentioned it and it was actually when I first suspected she might really be a hero. I figure maybe the media would get it wrong, but when nobody else commented on it I figured that wasn't what they were going for, and I knew Edlund would know who Herc is.

The Tick originally had a mix of superpowered people and nonpowered pretenders. It's just the last few shows that overdid things with all the nonpowered pretending people since that is easier to film in live action.

A lot of it is that the show is a critique on modern stuff and that they all don't need to be morally ambiguous, they simply choose to be.

They're probably going to introduce an aquaman parody as her husband, probably a regular looking guy who fucked a monster lobster.

i´d fuck ever last one in this pic. except arthur he looks to kikey

Well they had one of those in season one.

did we ever find out what Bronze Star's powers were?

Nope. He just seems to be popular.

You think of a name for a really strong person that goes well with "Lobster"

He is third best at absolutely everything.

Third best runner
Third best climber
Third best detective
Third best scientist
Third best at holding his breath
Third strongest
The power of being #3

I wish it was a little bit more like Mystery Men. The people in the costumes take themselves super seriously, even though they are ordinary weirdos pretending to be superheroes and that their mundane skills are superpowers.

Red Lobster. Give lobster german accent, pilot goggles, and biplane. Pray you don't get sued.

There's all kinds of fun stuff you can do with Lobster if you're enough of a nerd. Class is Malacostracans. "mal" in Latin is bad/evil. The Order is Decapoda, so you can have a lobster lair called the Decapod or maybe launch minions in Decapods so they crash into places to rob them.

Of course Doctor McNinja already had the Robster, so the real problem is the obvious was taken.

Rouge Lobsta

I really didn't appreciate the completely unnecessary Chairface fake-out, especially considering the unlikelihood of a third season.

What fake-out?

Season 2.

Be more specific.

They set up a villainous mad scientist who survived decapitation and was obsessed with making people into furniture. It was all a false identity constructed by the real villain.

he wasn't obsessed, it was just his side gimmick.

Oh, ok. I didn't think of the Duke as being Chairface because the way Overkill described it he cut the Duke's head off, leading me to believe he either survived as a severed head, or the guy Overkill killed was just a fall guy. When they revealed the human furniture I didn't even make the connection to Chairface, since in the comics and cartoon was born with a chair for a head. The idea that he got decapitated but lived on with a new head made of a chair and his mind somehow transfered into it just didn't make any sense even for the show.

I could totally see Chairface as the kind of guy to buy human furniture, but I also can't imagine him ever actually appearing in the show. It's not nearly as cartoonish as all of the other versions.

Shit, that would be clever

I like this, this needs to be his power.

He needs to be a supersoldier that is the third best peak human on Earth

Chairface might also turn a lot of people off to the show as the final straw and making it just too wacky. Talking Power Rangers Lobster was reaching enough

I think it's really cute that overkill keeps up with trends like flossing

he was just coppying dot, she started it.
also the framing on that first floss dance party was like perfect phone ratio. They wanted that shit to go viral so bad.

Great season, really liked the Superian/Superman movie stuff. A bit too much Dot and not enough Lint. I know it's unlikely to happen, but would definitely be there for season 3.

>Nah, he’s got one more secret. It’s gonna be a whole big thing.

I liked how they hinted at who Lobstercules was by having her come up through the lady's bathroom both times.

>Gifted levels of hand holding in the future
Hey! Don't tarnish my pure waifu with your warped incest shit.

>too much Dot
There's never too much Valorie Curry.

Its a reference to the 70s superman movies

Here you go, user, help it trend.

As is him flying Pearl around.

The fastest traveling substance in the universe!

>expanding the weirdness of The City
I really want the equivalent of the 'Night of the Filth' episode from the cartoon. Wallet anglers and all

Oh yes, Speed of Lint.

Her true Superpower.

Yep that's gonna be her final form.

And don't forget the Mad Bomber that bombs AT MIDNIGHT.

That's "The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight"

>That wide mouth rictus of horror on Pearls face.

That was epic.

Also kinda wish Superion had left him there and Pearl turned into some kinda Mystic Hulk type thing. POWER MAX MYSTIC ENERGY

Unfortunately he's an animated exclusive character along with American Maid and Die Fledermaus

>Chairface
>BRIIIIICK FROOOOOG!!
>Cowboy Satanist

next season needs them all.

Danger Boat acts more like OG Mr Nobody than TV Mr Nobody.

That's a screenshot from the 2001 series.

>CLIFFHANGER
Got me good. There a new season?

That's end of the first half of the first season. For some reason it was broken into two parts. Season 2 doesn't have that.

Ah, got some catching up to do then. Thanks.

Np. Didn't want you skipping straight to season 2 wondering what the fuck happened.

They do that on purpose. Keeps people from signing up for free trials and watching all of the show, then cancelling.
