Doom Patrol |OT| D-I-E D-I-E, Let's Die (Fridays, DC Universe)

The Titans episode listed Caulder Manor as being on Danny Street.
I'm enjoying the show overall, but man, the expository dialogue is sometimes very clunky. Some of that comes from trying to follow Morrison so tightly, who used narrative boxes extensively to avoid putting such dumb dialogue in his character's mouths. Also, Cyborg is not a good actor. Everyone else is pretty okay, but he needs to get killed or turned into a vase or something.
Oh shit.... I didn't even realize that. I have to rewatch it now.
I think legitimately my only nitpick issue with this series is how it handled Beast Boy's connection(it didn't)
Man....with this being so great, i can't wait for Swamp Thing.
Probably because Beast Boy isn't with them currently.
I mean could have had him in the first episode especially during the scene in Robotman's room, or mentioned.
and really its more Titans fault for having him in the group before it even became the Doom Patrol.
I'd still like him to appear at some point when it makes sense though(after Titans plotline wraps up.)
They're playing coy with the connection to Titans so this ain't the same Doom Patrol until they say otherwise.
Unlikely, they've pretty much made it clear that they are connected. Titans job was to basically set up the universe.
When they collab tho. When they collab tho!
It's going to be bonkers and they're all going to question the weirdness of everything in the first 5 minutes and then ignore it for the rest of the episode(s), lol.
It was pretty clear until showrunner Jeremy Carver said this :
To be clear, Kipp is literally not-Constantine.
He was created because the Doom Patrol writers wanted to use John, but were told by DC leadership they couldn't use a Veritgo/Adult focused character in Doom Patrol, which was focused on kids at the time.
Lol. Yeah I looked at a wiki article about Kipp and that was brought up. I like him though just how I like Constantine in Legends. I think every team needs somebody like Constantine and Kipp every once in a while to fuck shit up 😁
I think it will eventually. Titans was probably only rushed to Netflix for the exposure.
So I think for people hating on Cyborg, i think they were trying to make Cyborg the straight man out of the group; showing all the logical points, more towards the reality, stable person etc. etc. and I think that kinda makes people feel Cyborg be boring as a character compared to the other 4 that has a much interesting history.
I think maybe in the future, cyborg as a character will probably get a bit better somehow.

That is kind of a misconception. It is true that Constantine was part of the Vertigo line and the order was not to use him outside of that line (since Vertigo titles and characters are "suggested for adult readers"), while Doom Patrol was still part of the regular DC line, which is "for all ages". But Morrison run was quite adult (starting with DP volume 2 number 19) and a shift of tone which ultimately lead to the series to move to Vertigo imprint from number 64. Morrison run ended at number 63, but the series continues as a Vertigo title until number 87.
Like even with that said, i think we'll either see some cross over later in the show. Or in titans when they focus on Beast Boy. Cause right now their only link is Beast Boy.
This makes me happy. Titans is a fine show, but I don't want DP to feel more restricted.
I just finished getting caught up with this, and man has this show been great. I love how it's leaning into the weirdness of Doom Patrol perfectly, and with some pretty deep cuts, too.
While that is true, the plot that Chief was kidnaped is just to cover the fact Dalton is a guest actor that would not participate much in the series, Dalton brought some much gravitas to the character that is 100 times better. The original actor just looked like a mad scientist stereotype. Dalton added some many layers to that.
Definitely
Im kinda relieved they passed on Alexandra Daddario
Wasn't there a scene with Cyborg seeing the news on the TV about the town disappearing and talking with his father about going to investigate it?
Yeah then he goes there; but nobody else is there..no news..no police...nothing? Just seemed weird..i'm sure i am missing something
Yeah, there's another scene later on when the town appears again after they get saved and they blame the Doom Patrol
Remember when Cyborg was listening in on two FBI Agents who did go there but decided to NOPE the fuck out? They're ignoring it on purpose and because it's bigger than what they were led to believe is my head canon.
Finally got around to getting a sub so i could watch this. Binged the first four episodes today. Easily my best day off in a long time!
I love how close it is with the American Gods opening because how those shows have characters that could not be more different
Finished episode 5 and I have to say Mr. Nobody is one of my favorite villains ever for a comic book TV show. Damn, he's good. Also, Diane Guerrero has been killing it with the different personalities.
Man, what a batshit crazy episode. I don't know how they managed to get everything coming together so perfectly like that, but they did it.
