Re: fairy tale

That's true, but many different types of people live in the US, not just white people. In fact, most Hollywood fairy tales seem to take place in Europe, not America, anyway.

Re: fairy tale

I meant that those stories don't have modern values and should show how people back then though.

Re: CW's The Flash

Arrow is somewhat better than the Flash, but its supporting cast isn't very strong, and they make the show too "soapy."

Re: fairy tale

I agree. The "dead parents" cliche is common to all genres, but this one adds that to other tropes, like how the older woman is jealous of the younger one, or how falling in love (which didn't...

Re: fairy tale

But don't any other fairy tales exist besides what five they keep remaking? Do any non-European ones exist? Most of these stories are just about falling in love at the drop of a hat, which is poor...

Re: CW's The Flash

I don't want that he kill anyone either. I would just like some more variety in the plot structure. I haven't watched the last few episodes, though, so I don't know if that changed.

Re: CW's The Flash

That's my point, though. If his enemies are weak, he can defeat them more easily, yet he spends half of the episode to find a new way to defeat the week's villain.

I don't know if the droid is a regular character or just appears briefly. The trailer didn't actually tell us who any new character is, which I suppose is the point of a "teaser."
