so you're saying The Seven is a 6/7 match for JL (because we got Translucent instead of Jack)


Like I said, translucent is basically a neutered Jon.

Yes, I asked you above and you answered. But I also want to ask Josh this question.

The seven is a 100% match of the Justice League, they just switched out an irrelevant character for something a little more interesting on the TV show version, but they at least made his power similar. I'm not sure why they didnt keep him martian looking, maybe they figured it'd he too offputting for a new audience just getting into the show. The show changing that character doesn't change the authors intent or what the seven is.

The Seven were created as a parody of the Justice League. The author has talked openly about his dislike of cookie cutter superheroes and TLJ is the ultimate in righteous fuck bois lol.

I've only watched the first episode of season 2 so far, but they're making some choices I'm not overly found of so far. I'll catchup on the rest soon.

so, you'd say that Tim Duncan has won 100% of his NBA Finals appearances (they just swapped out on of his wins for a loss)?

I'm pretty sure there's a difference between a 100% match and a set that differs by one...

he is correct though, I don't even know why it's an argument

6/7 is not an exact match

The original 7 in the original media are a copy of the JL. They changed 1 member for the show, which literally doesn't fucking matter for the original discussion. Noir is Batman because the 7 are the JL. Changing one of the 7 doesn't make the remaining 7 not still based on the JL. Hell you could change every single one of the 7 except Noir to be based on the Avengers, that would not change the fact that Noir is Batman.

One of those times when Blah is right.

Someone changing the structure of a show doesn't alter the characters history, that's just not how shit works.

Jack from Jupitor and Lamplighter have literally none of the abilities of there JL counterparts, but are obviously a parody of them in name/appearance. Making a slight switch in an effort to not alienate the audience doesn't change anything.

He's playing devils advocate to amuse himself.... Enjoying the thrill of an argument is one thing, but buying into the losing side because the discussion is beyond you, is something else entirely.

Maybe you're doing the same thing, but Blah and myself have explained multiple times why Translucent is a non-factor for The Seven = TJL side.

All that being said, who gives a shit lol? Interpret it however you want, but the writers intent was as a parody TLJ, which is obvious. If you want to believe it's the Avengers, Suicide Squad or the Ninja fucking Turtles, more power to you.

It was clearly a parody of the power rangers.
