This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

No, you just saw the first season.
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

Quote from: Just Another Snake Cult;665974There was an episode of the low-budget 90's syndicated super-hero show Nightman where Nightman teamed up with an old Manimal and Manimal's hot daughter, who had inherited his powers.

Objectively, it was crap, but it was sorta cool how it hinted at an entire larger "Universe" of TV semi-super-heroes.

I am fond of crossovers if they are well done.


One of my favorites was in the Justice Leage animated show, when the government was creating large numbers of cloned superheroes to counter the Justice Leage...just in case.

Many of the clones were suped up versions of the formely lame wonder twins from the old crappy Superfriends show.

I never expected to ever see the wondertwins used in a manner that was cool.

Quote from: Catelf;665992Possible, i only managed to see a few episodes, but in the ones i saw, they only had explicitly inuman speed, senses and savagery ... and explicitly human looks, and then i gave up on looking at it.

There was a whole lot of talk about how inhuman those were ... but they still looked human indeed, to me ...

Did i perhaps see a different Dark Angel than you, even?

Quote from: daniel_ream;666005No, you just saw the first season.

Yeah, first season, or at least most of the beginning of the first season, focused on the hybrids created by Project Manticore, which looked completely human. There was one recurring character with inhuman looks who, I think, was introduced at the end of the first season, but he was mostly second season. He ran a sanctuary for hybrids in general, almost all of which (except the Project Manticore batch) were inhuman-looking, because they were designed for specific jobs that were difficult for humans.

EDIT: Looking it up, the name of the dog-human hybrid was Joshua. Wikipedia doesn't mention him showing up in first season, so maybe he was only in second season. Jessica Alba's character is an X-5 series transgenic, which are the ones who look completely human.
