DC was first, Marvel ripped of characters all over the place. Deadpool and Deathstroke are the 2 who are almost exactly the same.

I always preferred DC but liked some of the Marvel comics. Waiting for them to add Prince Namor to the Avengers (Marvels version of Aquaman), that will be a hoot. :lol:

I've been introduced to it all from the Marvel side of things. And Deadpool is one of my favourite characters. :?

I'm going to pretend I didn't read the above. :P

Yep. Slade Wilson was in series 1 and 2 of Arrow. Killed his mum.

This might cheer you up.

DC is pretty much always first.
Dude wrote that with an agenda and wasn't afraid to draw the long bow. :)
But geez, on some of the key characters; ouch Marvel. :shock:

At the risk of downplaying the 80's, Pablo Escobar was a very bad man.
Haven't seen any of it yet but will in the short future. :wink:

Thanks for the heads up anyway.

The Walking Dead spin off, Fear the Walking Dead is now 2 weeks into it's first season for those interested.

The second season of True Detective didn't live up to the highs of season 1 unfortunately.
Just caught up with the spin off walking dead, not bad, the lead actress was in deadwood. She was brilliant in that. Could be interesting. Still hanging out for the original though!

I found the first episode of FTWD a bit slow. The second one however definitely escalated quickly! I'm hooked.

Half way through Orange is the new black season 2.

I'm guessing swoop loves this show!

Watched the last of series one of Daredevil on the weekend. fkn brilliant series, unlike any comic book superhero stuff I've ever seen. They even went out of their way to humanise the bad guy.

No black and white heros and villians here, shades of grey only. Damn good.

Now I have to figure out how to watch season 2

Scream Queens debuted this week in the state so I decided to download the first episode looks like another good series.
