[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 1696617, member: 1288"] I thought tonight's ep had a solid concept (of course it did, look at the source), marred by a mediocre execution. Spoilers below, for those who want to skip, but I'm not going to black out my whole post. :) I really liked the first half. Thought it had potential to be one of the best episodes to date. But the second half let me down on several levels. One: I greatly dislike the fact that, after he was awakened, Supes still needed help to beat Mongul. I thought it rather weakened the whole ep, in terms of both plot and emotional satisfaction for the viewer. Two: They really missed an opportunity for using the Black Mercy. They should never have shown WW throwing it at Mongul. Rather, we should see WW and Bats attack him as he's about to kill Supes. He fights back, beats them to a pulp, and stands victorious over the fallen superheroes. Only [i]then[/i] does perspective change, and the viewer discover that when WW and Bats attacked, they hit Mongul with the flower, and everything after that was him seeing his fantasy, seeing how he [i]wanted[/i] the fight to turn out. That would have been a much more interesting way of showing essentially the same events, and would even have earned them points back on problem # 1, above. Three: Not the writers' fault, but did it seem to anyone else like the commercial breaks were misplaced? Four: The way in which Batman talked Superman out of the dream, and then WW talked Bats out, just rang false to me for some reason. Not entirely sure how they I think they should have done it, honestly, but it felt too easy. (Maybe just a result of the fact that they aren't allowed to tell two-part stories anymore...) [/QUOTE]
