Yeah, another forced shoehorned-in LGBT romance made me roll my eyes. Nico and Karolina had ZERO chemistry, with both clearly showing signs they play for the opposite team, and now they're going to be lovers? And yeah, I know that Karolina was a lesbian in the books with a crush on Nico, but on the show, it's not convincing at all and felt like it just came out of nowhere. Nico is also not gay in the books, so there's that.

@GAThrawnIGF - I don’t see any signs that Nico will be gay in the show either. And, I don’t believe Karolina’s feelings came out of nowhere: in the first episode she stares in awe for a long time at a dancing lesbian couple.

I still haven't started this yet. I heard it was pretty good though. Might have to catch up over winter break.

I like the show but I feel like we don't get enough of the kids weirdly

Never read the comics but is Molly suppose to be this dumb and annoying?

@Himura - Kind of, but the comics has the added benefit of her being younger. So, any stupid decisions she makes kind of get a pass.

@Himura - yes! She's always been a little $#!+ that stirs up trouble

@Himura - In the comics she's supposed to be like 9 or 10 years old. In this show they made her 14.

Runaways is amazing.I hope Hulu continues supporting this show and picks them up for three seasons.

This is way better than many Comicbook Shows. I was pleasantly shocked! Way better than inhumans by miles...

I'm pissed about the staff of one's origins, Idk why they are so afraid of real magic

StormXmen123 - 12/13/2017, 7:34 AM
@Polaris - I understand that they are routing "magic" in science (as seen in Thor and Dr Strange), so I don't mind them (as the characters) trying to explain the staffs power through science, but I don't like that it isn't a mystical object and simply technology they developed.
Polaris
Polaris - 12/13/2017, 7:42 AM
@StormXmen123 - yes, exactly, I don't mind a scientific explanation of what the staff does, but to say that Tina's company made it? nope.

@Polaris - I've only watched the first two episodes so far, so this is new to me. The Staff of One really is a science based artifact developed by a company in the show? Did they also drop the blood magic aspect of summoning of it?
Polaris
Polaris - 12/13/2017, 8:49 AM
@Kyos - sadly, yes, it was made in a lab (as if that's more realistic than magic) and it's designed to respond to Tina's DNA (and Nico's, by extention), so to turn it on instead of a button it needs a blood sample that it gets by sticking a finger with a small needle or something like that. Very dissapointing imo.
Kyos
Kyos - 12/13/2017, 9:44 AM
@Polaris - Okay, that is disappointing. I really liked the diverse backgrounds for the powers present in the comic, and I don't really see how making more of it science-y makes for a more interesting scenario.

I mean, the blood/DNA activation thing is not not clever, but it just feels terribly unneccessary to leave magic magic behind in a universe where we have Doctor Strange, the Hand, the Ghost Rider and such.
Polaris
Polaris - 12/13/2017, 9:59 AM
@Kyos - the diverse backgrounds are what got me interested in the first place, so this sucks. I understand why Gert's parents aren't time travelers, for example, and I'm ok with most of the changes they made, but there was no need for this. Nico was like "this is high tech magic!" so I don't get what's the point of not making it real magic, it was an easier explanation and it makes sense in universe. Now I'm worried about the origin of Karolina's powers.
Kyos
Kyos - 12/13/2017, 10:32 AM
@Polaris - Oh, they didn't really discuss Karolina's powers yet? Hm, let's hope for the best, I guess. I understand why "time travel" and "mutant" are problematic backgrounds, but everything else should be fair game.

Something else: do you watch The Gifted and would you recommend it?
Polaris
Polaris - 12/13/2017, 10:51 AM
@Kyos - Not yet, I mean, at this point it's obvious where her powers came from but not what she is.

Yes and yes, it's pretty good.
Kyos
Kyos - 12/13/2017, 1:03 PM
@Polaris - Then I just hope I still get enjoyment out of the Runaways show, and look forward to giving The Gifted a chance when I find the time. :)
Polaris

@Kyos - hope you do 😊
