Nice, another crossover appearance.The last episode was pretty cool. Liked where it was going with Rick and Grundy, unfortunate as that ending was.
Spoiler:
down to a guy in a mecha that’s not up and running, a kid who’s not a front line fighter, and a girl whose main weapon is on the fritz.
Spoiler:w. Beth. It’s like, the writers are going, “how do we make this mind raping child murdering monster even more unlikable? Wait, I’ve GOT it”!
racist/sexist buttons
I loved how Courtney still managed to look Star Girl-y even w.out her costume. 😄

Yeah, Eclipso lost me with that shit. A cool villain in his debut episode, and then they just have him do that.Kinda weird too how he's focused on upsetting the balance of the team and breaking it apart when he already showed himself powerful enough to take them out on their best day.

Not really he was vastly weakened at the end of that first fight after Courtney hit him with the cosmic staff energy and he drained it. If you remember almost straight away the eclipse ended (he clearly no longer had the power to maintain it and he's stronger in darkness in the comics). He also limped every time he stepped into a beam ofnlight and then walked normally in the shadow. Finally he retreated into his Bruce Jnr form that I assumed he needed to do to regenerate his power.
In the early episodes he casts minor illusions to make people do dark acts and with each grows stronger. Then he can manifest and kick their collective asses with ease. Then gets hit with the strongest light source around (cosmo) and is weakened again but probably a little more powerful than he was just acting from within the diamond. As he does these things to the JLA he's growing in strength from their inner darkness. Building back up to be the same level for the finally that he was mid way.
Yeah think back to the company wide cross over event where Eclipso was the big bad. Many heroes throughout DCU had found shards of the heart of darkness and he had possessed many heroes. He had been working from the dark side of the moon (for most power) and I think he also brought an eclipse (might be missremembering).
Will Peyton Starman sacrificed himself and went Nova releasing ALL his star energy at once that vastly weakened Eclipso and gave the heroes the win.
So in this story we have Eclipso not at that peak of power also take ALL the solar energy of Courtney's staff (hence why it's depowered and slowly rebuilding power). He has to be likewise weakened.
Y'know I had envisioned Jade returning with her brother Obsidian just in time to face the recovered Eclipso. But as no where lists a casting decision for Obsidian for season 2 and we do have a casting decision for Jakeem it could just be Jakeem just discovers his power in time for the final showdown. During the battle with Eclipso he hears Courtney wish Jen (or green Lanterns daugter) was here he makes the wish and brings Jade into the battle. Her and Courtney poor it on with light based power and Bam Eclipso is forced back into the diamond because he is so weak
Catching up on the last couple of eps as I’d fallen behind.
No complaints, this season is going well, and feels like a horror movie at times.
One thing that somewhat throws me off is the characterization of the original JSA. Though it makes sense as far as the story that’s being told, seeing them act like snobby elitist pricks is kinda off putting.
The whole speak when spoken to/you’re just a sidekick/mechanic/you don’t get a vote attitude they all seem to have is pretty shitty.
They somehow even manage to look down on Johnny Thunder, a normal guy who controls a genie, which is really no different than a normal guy w. a magic ring or a normal guy w. a cosmic staff.
On the plus side, the flashbacks give me a chance to see Wildcat who looks like he stepped out of the comic. SO much better than the lame ass Arrow version from back in 2012.
Man I can’t wait for the finale. Very pumped!
For all the great moments they crammed into the penultimate ep, like
Spoiler:the one burning question I came away w. was,
Shade possibly being alive, dark goo invading the GL Ring, Pat going to his dark side, angsty Yolanda, Shiv as a proper house guest AND getting Yolanda on board, Dr. McNider and Beth teaming up, Eclipso setting everyone up like a boss…
Spoiler:
how many ****ing dishes do Jakeem’s family go through in one meal? That was A LOT of dishes.
Whelp, guess the current season is the final season.

Luckily Geoff Johns was a step ahead and filmed two different final eps, one in case of renewal and one not.
