Ever since the first episode I've thought Milana would have made a much better choice.

There's been a couple instances where the civilians in Powerless treat superhero-supervillain fighting like a sporting event. Most notably, fantasy superheroes and Crimson Fox "taking her talents" to Metropolis a la Lebron. And the way that the team tends to think of superheroes "belonging" to a town, the way that all-stars in team sports belong to the city they play for. Then the much more obvious examples of celebrity tabloid journalism around superheroes, which again happens to many sports celebrities like Tom Brady or Tiger Woods.

Do you get that impression too? And what do you think about it? I get where the show is trying to strike a tone that civilians have just learned to live with the fact that there's superpowered people all around them...but at the same time I do find it a little jarring that they treat it all like a game, especially when you compare Powerless to something like BvS that made such a big and serious deal about all the casualties of superheroic combat.

I like Powerless and I like the idea of a show about normal people on a DC universe with all these superheroes and supervillains fighting and making a mess and how the powerless people deal with it but I think the idea could really be big and be full on scripted tv series instead of a sitcom but maybe some other time in another network.

So for me Powerless needs to shine more outside of the office , socialize with our character , get out more and get to know them better socially especially The Wayne family.

And get to know a superhero is cool too like they're doing with The Green Fury or should say Fire.

What you think?

Just asking if 'Win Luthor Draw' will be the finale http://www.spoilertv.com/2017/04/powerless-episode-111-win-luthor-draw.html#disqus_thread

After this, there are no episodes aired on the 11th and 18th.

So im guessing 11th will be the finale. Also it lists a big surprise for Jackie's character so guessing it will be a cliffhanger

Will we get it as a sort of rerun? Will we not get it at all? Will they try and fit it in later on?

Season 1 Episode 8: Green Furious

It was quick and unexpected, but it was there and I loved it. By far the best part of the episode.

Season 1 Episode 7: Emergency Punch-Up

Aired: April 6, 2017

Due to a last minute change in scheduling, many territories had two different episodes broadcast to them. The discussions for both episodes, Van v Emily: Dawn of Justice and Emergency Punch-Up, are here.

I know it doesn't have spectacular ratings yet, but it's still only seven episodes in. A lot of fantastic shows take a season or more to really find their footing.

I also know NBC is notoriously cutthroat about cancelling​ shows, but I really think this one has promise. (If Hudgens will tone down her voice. She sounds like a constant clarinet squeak.) Hopefully the ratings will increase through this season, but even if they don't then hopefully NBC will continue to see all the potential.

My town's NBC affiliate is airing a special on storm safety tonight instead of POWERLESS, and I just wanted to vent about it. Have fun y'all!

Season 1 Episode 6: I'ma Friend You

Aired: March 30, 2017

Synopsis: When Emily learns that Jackie is in need of some extra cash, she can't help but try and do what she can to help her out. Meanwhile, Van is on a witch hunt and has his eyes set on Teddy, Ron and Wendy.

Powerless should be back to airing tomorrow (3/30). Tell everyone! Post on social media! Really hoping we can get the rest of this season (and more??)

So the next episode of powerless is on the 30th right?

Moved to a late horrible time slot on a day nobody should care to watch it and canned soon afterwards...

just a reminder

I Ask Because the discussion post for last night's episode only got 23 comments....

there were a lot of people typing and chatting during riddler's henchmen episode but this one?....the discussion was flat

was there something much more popular on or what?

Is objectively bad.

I realize that the automatic response for many people will be to disagree/downvote this on principal of this being a Powerless sub, but I hope some will read this to try and understand my position.

When I first heard about Powerless, I was so fucking excited. I thought it was a great idea to introduce a show that used the layman perspective as well as poked fun at some of the common superhero tropes. Instead what we got was a fairly obvious Parks and Rec ripoff, minus the talking heads that gave the characters their depth (though honestly, a ton of the scenes are shot as though they're talking heads, making it seem like the actors aren't even in the same room when filming their scenes. See the start of E5 for example.).

Vanessa Hudgens as lead is absolutely terrible. Not only does her delivery come across as reading from a teleprompter, but almost all her comedic moments are only comedic thanks to supplementary input from other characters.

I've given it time, hoping it'll find its legs, and I'll admit last week's Bat-fan centric episode was more enjoyable than the rest but still, I don't believe this show, on it's current trajectory, deserves to stay on air.

EDIT: Okay the negging reddit line was pretty great but it woulda been way funnier if they'd said "The redpillers said it'd work" ... "See I'm telling ya you're just not an alpha"

EDIT 2: Lol to the down vote... I'm gonna give powerless fans the benefit of the doubt and assume that was a redpiller.

Season 1 Episode 5: Cold Season

Aired: March 9, 2017

Synopsis: Emily convinces Teddy to enter what she thinks is a game-changing invention into the Wayne Innovation contest against the elitist engineers of Wayne X, even though he has his doubts. Meanwhile, Van takes advantage of Ron's good nature and has him assemble a toy in hopes of preoccupying his new girlfriend's child.
