The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 1, "The Day Will Happen When You Won't Be"'s controversy is the whole point of the episode

So they started off this episode with this Jeffrey Dean Morgan playing someone. He wants to  or be some sort of tester or something. Not sure what his whole plan is.
So he kills of one of the main characters.
If you don't want to hear who it is, don't read further and watch the episode first.

He kills off Glenn.
And I have problems with this.
Glenn's been on the show for 7 seasons.
He's the Chinese American actor who's portray a non-stereotype in comparison with Nickelodeon's superhero family suburban show, the Thundermans.
There's been a lot media regarding how he was a Chinese American who was on a big TV show but can't find a lot of work.
Now, he'll have to try and find a lot of work.

If you've never watched the Walking Dead before, would you care that he got killed off? Aren't you going to be annoyed about these fans saying all these things about Glenn?

Sure, he gets a flashback.
But most of the characters can't even talk about him since they'll get killed if they react.

I get that the whole point is, "wow, they killed off a main character."
But even with my background in Power Rangers and soap operas, I prefer story first: why was it a good reason to kill off Glenn? Did it give closure to the character? Is there a thematic reason for his death, etc..

Not the worst thing in the world, but extremely disappointing from a story perspective.

Ultimate Spider-Man vs The Sinister Six: Spider Slayers Part 3

So the episode was about the Spider heroes infiltrating Kaine.
I understand Kaine was dangerous, but making fun of him, while saying at the same time that he was a victim of Doc Ock's experiments, sorta makes you idiotic, illogical, undisciplined and unsympathetic. Too much humor when its to the point.

Now keep in mind that I don't really watch the show.
Venom Spider-Man is dumb, and he's rewarded as a superhero. Kaine is dumb and isn't.
Kaine drains. A really dumb Venom.

Venom shoots.
Venom gets too close. Spider-Man and his cheetoh obsession somehow notices this.

The other Spider Slayers or in other universes Symbiotes/Clones listen to Kaine and Ben.

Scarlet Spider
MJ Spider
Squirrel Girl are the rest of the team.
Yes, Squirrel Girl is in a show about the Clone Wars and dark moments of Kaine. Good job.

This show does sell toys quite well.

Symbiote clones.

There's a ghost Spider-Man for whatever reason doesn't just rip people's hearts out.

The heroes win because of better matchups in the end.

Kaine is enjoyable. The good guys taunt him. He's just sorta does what he wants, without knowing the purpose.
So again, horrible villain made by Disney XD.

Gotham S3 E5

Apparently the Penguin is still a big deal.
I realize Catwoman is 15, but she looks like she's in a Frank Miller/Alan Moore cross fiction.

They go on a hit in a place where a much older Bruce is.

Supergirl S2 E2

Cat's leaving.

Mercy is looking for a new Metallo.

And it's revealed we're back to dumb CBS script writing.
There's radioactivity in the air and no wear was a suit.
No one uses a Geiger counter to find radioactivity early.

Supergirl looks for Alex.
Alex gets captured again.
Mercy is just Maxwell Lord light.

Supergirl, S2E1, "The Adventures of Supergirl" first half hour review

That cheesy, thanks cuz as Superman and Girl save a downed plane was pretty bad but in a good way At least it was enjoyable compared to Clarissa Flockhart's character last year.
And Mercy being in the show, makes it fit better than say a lot of boring soap opera stuff.

I missed the ending of last season so I'm unsure of what happened to J'onn Jones, Cyborg Superman or if there was a comeback for Red Tornado or any other villains.
