I can't t outright hate on it, but I have to question its relevance to high school students - is it truly the best example of puns and dick jokes for them to read ?

Wouldn't that be Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are Dead?Blicero wrote:It's probably not the best example of puns and dick jokes. But it could be the best introduction to existentialism that also contains puns and dick jokes, for an at least locally optimal definition of best. It is, I guess, a more ambiguous question whether existentialism is relevant to high school students.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.
This is one of the main reasons. Another issue is that often they are chosen not because they're particularly great works, but because they represent a certain artistic/cultural movement that they want you to learn about. One of the books I was supposed to read back in school was picked due to it, and the damn thing literally used half of a page to tell me that "it was a sunny summer day"...Stahlseele wrote:The Books you get to read in school are terrible by definition, because they are not written for/meant to be read by children usually.

When you say "thrown for a total loop", do you mean "total upheaval" or "it repeats itself"?Cynic wrote:Is there a name to the feeling that your life is thrown for a total loop every 10 years or so? Or is that just some sort of confirmation bias or some other fallacy?
No. The movies and shows are seperate continuities.Shrapnel wrote:Is the Suicide Squad movie part of the same continuity as the CW DC shows?

I swear I read somewhere that they'd ultimately decided to have a separate continuity for Supergirl for exactly that reason.hyzmarca wrote:In the show continuity, Superman has apparently been active for at least 12 years, probably longer (thanks, Supergirl, that doesn't screw up Arrow's timeline at all). In the new movie continuity, Man of Steel was Superman's first outing, but Batman has been active for many years.
Oliver Queen refers to the flying guy a couple of times. Given the context, he's probably talking about Superman, and not The Atom or The Weather Wizard or Firestorm. The CW shows are a shared continuity only with each other. They don't share continuity with the movies (movie Deadshot is played by Will Smith and Arrow Deadshot is played by Michael Rowe). And they don't share continuity with shows on other networks (Supergirl is on ABC I think, and Gotham is on FOX), or even previous shows on the same network (Arrow/Flash/Legends of Tomorrow takes place in a world where the events of Smallville didn't happen).Shrapnel wrote:'Old on, where'z Superman in the Arrow/Flash universe? I don't remember hearing anything about that.
Technically Ally McBeal isn't the one with super powers, but the boss of the person with super powersFrankTrollman wrote:Supergirl looks like it's going to be about Ally McBeal with super powers.
Supergirl is on CBS, who co-owns the CW. The writers and producers of Arrow and Flash are also working on Supergirl, and the idea of crossovers have been tossed around (I do believe crossover-ability was actually written into the producer's contract). So far, though, the networks want to give a breather to the CW shows so they're not having to introduce the world with Supergirl in it, and CBS wants to at least get the show established before they go shaking it up with crossovers.FrankTrollman wrote:And they don't share continuity with shows on other networks (Supergirl is on ABC I think, and Gotham is on FOX)...
