"Powerless" is a go at NBC, as the DC Comics workplace comedy starring Vanessa Hudgens, Alan Tudyk and Danny Pudi has been ordered to series.
According to Variety, "Grease Live" star Vanessa Hudgens will play Emily, a "spunky young insurance adjuster specializing in regular-people coverage against damage caused by the crime-fighting superheroes."
The official synopsis is as follows:
>When Emily stands up to one of these larger-than-life figures that she accidentally becomes a cult “hero” in her own right — even if it’s just to her group of lovably quirky co-workers. Now, while she navigates her normal, everyday life against an explosive backdrop, Emily might just discover that being a hero doesn’t always require superpowers.

Okay. I admit. I'm a marvel fan and I've never watched any DC shows but I might pick this up cause of the cast
No other reason
oh boy does this sound insufferable.
Sure NBC, after canceling Constantine I'll watch DC The Office.
>>82677730
her grin is the cutest thing in the world, I'm sold.

Can't wait.
The concept of this show sounds pretty lame but I'll give it a shot because I do like Danny Pudi and Alan Tudyk a whole lot.
>>82678167

>>82678167
You can watch whatever you want dude I'm just not into "quirky office defies those dumb heroes!!!!".
Maybe I'll be wrong, it happens.
>>82678082
cant wait for the porn parody to come out so i can see how much better the costume is.
Ah, they dragged poor Abed into this
>>82677994
* two -- to repeat -- TWO lead actresses on DC shows have had their private nudes leaked in weird ways (that is, not through the Fappening)
* Vanessa's stuff was hacked multiple before the Fappening and when she was jailbait
* and Melissa's stuff was really high quality. Like, a professional photographer actually took pictures of her having sex.
Bizarre shit like this is why I'll always love DC, through thick and thin.
>>82677779
>im a (1 of big 2) fan
Kys then leave
>>82677986
>>82677730
So wait is Abed or Tudyk not-Ted Kord?

That would be a dream come true.
>>82678471
Only if we get Fillion as Booster Gold.
>>82678451
She was nude in Homeland too.
>>82678572
>>82678516
And adam baldwin as captain atom.
>>82677730
Some of the jokes from the pilot script leak were okay.
Like her job being at Retcon Insurance.
Also if one of the main cast doesn't become or isn't already a superhero I'll eat my hat.
>>82678749
Didn't the character descriptions already hint that Tudyks character is?
>stands up to one of these larger than life figures
>stand up to a superhero
What is this, the boys?
>>82678778
He's nobody in particular.
I'm cautiously optimistic but even if it's amazing NBC will find some way to fuck it up.
At the very least the live threads will be fun with you faggots
>>82677730
>fan service: the show, starring Alan Tudyk
I'm on this like flies on shit.
>>82679177
He draws futa on shota porn?
>>82677994
Whose nudes are they gonna be?
>>82678082
This is another reason I'm excited, I'm a sucker for live action costumes and this show looks like it's gonna be packed with heroes who we've never seen in live action before.
It's like a proving ground for DC's other movies and shows.
>>82678087
Yeah I'm not sure about the exact synopsis for Damage Control, but "comedy that has normies dealing with the damage heroes do" seems to be as close as it gets.
It's both an uninspired move by NBC/DC to steal the idea and a blunder from Marvel to have taken so much time to make it happen while disclosing basically the premise.
So one of the girls has Aquaman beefcake plastered all over her walls.
But which Aquaman will it be?
>>82677779
Being a fan of one thing doesn't mean you have to exclusively watch that one thing you fucking sheep
>>82678516
Fillion has at least a cameo in GotG 2 as Wonder Man, so not right now.
>>82679703Supergirl
>>82678045
Why does you being gay prevent you from watching a television show?

EMILY LOCKE (Vanessa Hudgens)
>Emily is an kind-hearted, but jaded insurance claims adjuster for RetCon Insurance, who finds herself increasingly exasperated by the disruptive antics of the various superheroes that proliferate in her city, and is unexpectedly thrusted into the role of a "people's champion" by openly challenging resident superheroine Crimson Fox in regards to the property damaged caused by her activities.

Will it be canon to the Arrowverse or DCEU?
If not, there's literally no point. A comedy about nobodies in a comic book world without taking place in an established canon is stupid. Gotham works well alone because it IS the canon.
>>82679905
>He secretly harbors feelings for Emily
Yes! Relationship drama
>>82680379
>Gotham works well
>because it IS the canon.
What the fuck are you talking about?
>>82677730
But....Marvel's already making a Damage Control show.
Uh oh...
>>82677730
>Drops Constantine
>Picks this shit up
>>82680379
It films in Vancouver, so it wouldn't be impossible to have Arrowverse heroes to show up.
>>82680405
Gotham isn't some fucking side show. It's a show that would spinoff or crossover elsewhere if it wanted to. This trash having the audacity to be standalone for no reason is stupid. NBC ruining capeshows since 2015.

Hopefully fast so Marvel can come back in and do the thing. At least Damage Control will be in the MCU.
>>82677730

That's a surreal combination. What's an A-lister doing with a D-lister?
..Vanessa Hudgens is till an A-lister, right?
>>82680586
>Damage Control has been referenced since Iron Man
It's time
>>82680441
Because it's inline with what the network is used to. You should know how this works by now.
>B-but Grimm!
Is more of a soap opera with fantasy overtones by now.
>>82680555
i almost feel bad. i really do. i think these people do try.
>>82680449
Gotham is very much its own thing and it's better because of it. The farther it stays away from the Arrowverse the better.
Same goes for this show. Not being part of that canon is the best thing for it and any other future show. It not being an Arrow tie-in is part of why I'll give it a shot.
>>82680379
The point of entertainment is to entertain, not to fluff the lore of other entertainment products.
>>82679429
At least it's not being written by David Goyer
>>82680689

Constantine had bad ratings.

>>82682577
>either it will die in one season, or survive based on fan love despite low ratings.
You'd think so, but Superstore actually had great ratings (certainly by NBC's standards) and got renewed pretty easily.
I think this actually might have a shot of surviving for 2 seasons.
>>82680405
he's right, though. Gotham takes great pains to fit with comics lore.
>tfw we'll never get that destined movie after Community's 6th season
It's going to die like Constantine did and I guarantee you Constantine is the better show out of both.
>>82683716

>>82677730
NBC gave Danny Pudi another show?
That's baffling.
>>82678082
How outrageously French is she going to be on a scale of Un to Dix?
>>82679875
This is cute, and I'm glad she's getting some respectable work after what feels like 3 roles as some whore, but something doesn't add up. Why would someone who makes their business off the wanton destruction want it to stop? I can understand her acting that way for clients but if she's genuinely upset she's in the wrong line of work. She should go into law and get motherfuckers jailed.
>>82678130
She survived a Smilex attack a while back. Part of her tragic backstory.
>>82682967
You have to be joking.
>>82682577
Reminder that Chuck got five seasons and survived the writers strike through the power of aggressive, blatant product placement.
>>82677730
So how fast does NBC cancel this?
I say 6 episodes in.
>>82684037
I liked Chuck and even loved the Subway intergration... but 5 seasons was too many seasons and that last season really did just suck.
>>82684015
If you watched the show you'd know it's true.

>>82684230
Prepare to have your mind blown.I've never watched it. I'm not the same guy who you were first replying to. Just saying something is Reddit or Tumblr is not an argument, it doesn't matter, like what you like.
>>82678705
And Morena Bacccarin as- wait. shit
>>82684412
Fox and WB aren't as petty with each other (at least, I'm assuming they're not since Geoff Johns tweeted about liking Deadpool). I assume they wouldn't give much of a shit if Baccarin jumped sides at her leisure.
>>82684684
>I'm assuming they're not since Geoff Johns tweeted about liking Deadpool
It had one of his characters in it, self-promotion probably doesn't count as playing nice.
Though I think you're probably generally right about there not being that antagonism.
>>82678986
Her standing up to a D-List supervillain'd fit DC a hell of a lot better.

>>82680768
Guggenhack is shitter then Goyer.
NBC might have a surprise hit here.
The Big Bang Theory is losing steam going into its ninth or tenth season.
Just laying here reading about the setting and premise reminds me how I liked this other recent workplace sitcom "Superstore" on NBC more then I thought I would.
They just need enough clever Deadpool type meta jokes that casual comic book movie fans will get mixed with random workplace subplot silliness for a 10 -13 episode first season.
>>82679905

What it was instead Townsville and it's her dealing with all the destruction caused by the power puff girls. Heh.

Since when?
>>82684230
The first two seasons were great. It had lots of threads here. Rest of the seasons are just not that great due to what happened bts. I don't know about reddit or tumblr because I don't go there. I just want to say that Community had two great initial seasons.
>>82693182
Shut up Leonard! You're so old that you fought Hydra the first time around!
>>82693397
The second season was honestly some of the best, most consistently good television I've ever watched.
>>82693108
so did I. Glad he found work
>>82693872
And with a name like "Ted" he's probably not even an ethnic stereotype, which I was afraid he would end up typecast as.
>>82677730
