And clearly that's worse. Terrible, in fact.
Because even a man like Magnificus must follow his heart.
And they're not likely to adopt any other religion. If any at all. They'll probably get caught by the Abrahamic faiths' afterlife by default. Presuming they're talking about his father and younger sibllings.
But could they bring themselves to perform the necessary rituals and the like to a greek god? What god would even fit the Sivana family?
Of course they'd be running things inside a day of dying. Demons are generally dumb.
Which is important to the League. Can't be seen to be associating with known criminals.
He could simply be passing on 'suspicions overheard on a family day together'..
Another point of difference to Superman. Good to see him striking out on his own.
It would be a little rude. And it's hard to meet him in an on-the-clock capacity either.
Especially since ruling the world wouldn't leave much time for lab work.
The question is, what's he consulting about? Clearly something Sheeda-related...
A fairly focused group. Leaning a bit more towards the darker side of the heroing business, barring Captain Marvel.
That'd be about right for the devout protestants the Witch-worlders were inspired by/descended from.
I am not surprised. She seemed like a hardliner amongst hardliners.
So, this sounds like the main thrust of the episode. A JL delegation meeting with a suspicious, uptight people.
People who the UN might have issues with them having contact with...
Trust, but Verify. Classic Bats.
Oh, please. How often do OL's plans go astray...
Don't answer that.Or send someone who doesn't have a civilian role or duties here. Or can get there and back under their own power. Not a long list.
Joy. And meanwhile, all hell could break loose while they're away. This is one place a specialised Dolmen Gate could help...
In short, will the rest of the Sivana family be making appearances?
I like the implied threat involved in those few words. Not that the Sivanas consider it that.
You're letting past experience colour your expectations, Billy. See what Solomon has to say about it, maybe that'll make you feel better?
True enough. The Sivanas don't want to blow Earth up, though. There's stuff they like there.
Now, will that response be good or bad? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough...
Oh, please. How often do OL's plans go astray...
I still thoroughly enjoy all the Sivanas.
So far Paul has found dates for three out of four children, right?
He will get to babysit soooo many super brats
"And what do you expect me to do about that? I'm just arbitrarily wealthy, have contacts with every major magical and magical-adjacent organization on Earth, am more trustworthy and less evil that Lex Luthor, and have on multiple occasions derided other people for wasting time face-punching evil rather than doing things more productive for society, while openly spending most of my time over the past several months doing the exact same thing. What, do you want me to be actually relevant?"
Did you mean "recuse"? "Recluse" isn't a verb, and doesn't really mean what you're trying to say here, although neither does "recuse", really, since that's meant to have legal connotations. Maybe "excuse" would be better?
The SI doesn't have the skills to run a business, and Ted Kord is at his limit.
Thank you, corrected.
Atlantis now has enough surface contact that he doesn't need the SI's help to do that. However, the aquatic environment and dominant scholastic
The previous episode was all the stuff OL did before heading off to Vega still paying dividends, and really just highlighted that almost everything he's done since returning from Vega has been either direct face-punching with the Team (or independently, for example when Heaven decided to put the planet on lockdown to hunt him), or face-punching adjacent, like recruiting two mages for the Justice League (who, amazingly, seem to still be the only mages officially on the JL roster).
The SI didn't have the skills to practice law, either; he had the ring download those into his head in an hour or so. Moreover, there are millions of MBAs out there who would be happy to run the business for OL; he'd even get some fairly ethical, diligent ones, the kind who can't get hired at the more cutthroat enterprises for being too ethical, if he decided to set the whole thing up as a non-profit. Hell, Wayne would likely have a good stable of them around, and while maybe he's too biased to start up a "Wayne Arcana" subsidiary himself, I'm sure he'd be happy to support any initiative which began with: "I want to set up a archeotech company to prevent LexCorp from having a monopoly in the alchemy space."
Pun detected.
The thing is that they're not taking that initiative without OL himself involved somewhere in the process, even if it's just organizing things or giving people marching orders. OL had to make suggestions to Ted Kond and Lex Luthor in order to get them to start their magitech divisions, and went to Sephitian directly multiple times to get him to start going more into practical magical research.
"And it sank into the swamp!"
Some Native American traditions also have a myth about an ancient hunter being taught how to make a flute to help his insomnia. Greek myth has Hermes putting a giant to sleep with music before slaying it, and Hermes was associated with the pan flute (Pan himself was the son of Hermes).
Normally I would have chalked this up to dialogue, but this is a Sivana. "neither issue is a material consideration for them."
Generally, sure, but there are plenty of dangerously intelligent ones. It's like saying animals are generally dumb. There's a big span of what constitutes "demons."
I dunno, I've seen some pretty good lectures.
Thank you, corrected.
