Oh god, I find it painful to sit through LoT. Last week's episode was so atrocious that even Matt Ryan phoned in his performance.

The Walking Dead stopped being a good show the moment they fired Darabont from the show. However, it was still watchable until they killed off Andrea.

The only passable DC movie is Wonder Woman. Batman & Robin is a superior film compared to Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad.

It's pretty tragic because I was totally a DC fanboy until a little over a year ago. These days, I keep trying to like DC, but I'm finding myself forcing to be a fan the more they make stupid decisions. Rebirth started out so well, but then they fell right back into the same slump they have been in for nearly a decade.

Not genius, intriguing plot lines - not especially clever dialogue - just some goofy, fun to watch characters, going through the motions. I also think DC have put out some very good animated movies. I've particularly been enjoying the & Son, Bad Blood series.

Oh, Flash is still my favorite super hero show on TV, but it seems like these guys have no idea what to do with the Rogues as they keep killing them off instead of actually having them form the Rogues. Also, the whole bit with Barry being in prison was so damn stupid.

Supergirl has been hit or miss. When it's great, it's really good. When it's bad, it's pretty detrimental. Everything that dealt with Alex and Maggie was horrible. Not only did it feel forced, but the whole thing ended up being completely irrelevant due to the break up this season. Add on top that they decided to ignore Alex's overcoming the break up just so they could go back to writing her character being depressed over it. It makes no sense.

Arrow this season isn't bad either, it's just kind of there. I feel like they don't have any idea what they want to do with the show anymore as they are rehashing plot lines they have already done and the villains are just a snoozefest this season.

As for the rest of it, I hear you. I'm glad I never really got on board with collecting DC figs. I only have a few so don't feel let down by them.

I had nearly every figure Mattel released and sold them off once the Icons came out. THe lackluster articulation was one thing, but the quality control issues were staggering and I found myself opening a new figure, taking a picture, and then putting it on the shelf to never be touched again. My Jonah Hex figure just fell apart when I picked him up to move him onto another shelf.

Thus, DCC showed they were going all in with the Icons line so I foolishly jumped into the pool expecting to have a whole new vast collection of figures that were up to modern standards.
