"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.
so Big Belly Burger will be in this. Flash crossover when
Blake Stewart
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.
Lucas Carter
cant wait for the porn parody to come out so i can see how much better the costume is.
Evan Sanders
Ah, they dragged poor Abed into this
James Clark
* 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.
Nolan Martin
>im a (1 of big 2) fan
Kys then leave
Adam Howard
So wait is Abed or Tudyk not-Ted Kord?
Ethan Murphy
>This is all happening in Abed's Dreamatorium .
Alexander Gray
It's hard to find work when Hydra is your reference.
Aiden Parker
>I'm a marvel fan so I don't watch DC lol you fell for the company wars meme? You know Marvel won't actually pay you for this haha
Lucas Jones
Tudyk
Jaxon Peterson
But the dean still has a job asking for money
Ryder Ortiz
>supergirl nudes thank you Sup Forumsmrade
Carter Jenkins
Go drink bleach
Levi Howard
>Tudyk playing ted That would be a dream come true.
Samuel Fisher
Only if we get Fillion as Booster Gold.
Kevin Ward
She was nude in Homeland too.
Ian Lopez
...
Luke Sullivan
And adam baldwin as captain atom.
Joshua Ross
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.
Nathaniel Nguyen
Didn't the character descriptions already hint that Tudyks character is?
Alexander Ward
>stands up to one of these larger than life figures >stand up to a superhero What is this, the boys?
Josiah Price
He's nobody in particular.
Kevin Lee
I'm cautiously optimistic but even if it's amazing NBC will find some way to fuck it up.
Easton Clark
At the very least the live threads will be fun with you faggots
Michael King
>fan service: the show, starring Alan Tudyk
I'm on this like flies on shit.
Colton Rivera
He draws futa on shota porn?
Justin Campbell
Whose nudes are they gonna be?
Carson Powell
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.
Charles Peterson
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.
Jaxson White
So one of the girls has Aquaman beefcake plastered all over her walls. But which Aquaman will it be?
Joshua Green
Being a fan of one thing doesn't mean you have to exclusively watch that one thing you fucking sheep
Adrian Baker
Fillion has at least a cameo in GotG 2 as Wonder Man, so not right now.
Luis Phillips
Supergirl
Nathan Morgan
Why does you being gay prevent you from watching a television show?
Luis Roberts
>he shows up as a normal dude >everyone suspects he's a superhero and that's just his secret identity >he's just a normal dude

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.
William Brooks
Both of them.
Jacob Bell
Jesus, could you imagine?
Charles Evans
Ha. References.

TEDDY (Danni Pudi) >Emily's best friend and co-worker, Teddy spends his days creating time-wasting pranks as a way to make their office, the "least Super place on earth", just a little less monotone. He secretly harbors feelings for Emily.
DEL (Alan Tuddyk) >Emily's clumsy, immature, dictatorial new boss, who has just been promoted — not through any merit of his own, but because he’s the owner’s son.
JACKIE (Christine Palmer) >Del's assistant and Emily's friend who is obsessed with superheroes.
CRIMSON FOX (Ana Mitchell) >The mighty protector of Charm City, headquarters of RetCon Insurance.

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.
Ryan Cox
>He secretly harbors feelings for Emily Yes! Relationship drama
James Martinez
>Gotham works well >because it IS the canon. What the fuck are you talking about?
Robert Morris
But....Marvel's already making a Damage Control show.
Uh oh...
Nathan Peterson
>Drops Constantine >Picks this shit up
Justin Jenkins
It films in Vancouver, so it wouldn't be impossible to have Arrowverse heroes to show up.
Joseph Anderson
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.
Charles Peterson
>modern day prime-time broadcast television >not expecting relationship drama
Justin Watson
>he likes only one >for free
Chase Nelson
>weak person stands up to super strong person and develops a cult following Eh, maybe
Carter Powell
It's going to be hilarious when this shit flops
Christopher Williams
Hopefully fast so Marvel can come back in and do the thing. At least Damage Control will be in the MCU.
Ryan Sanchez
>Danny Pudi >Vanessa Hudgens That's a surreal combination. What's an A-lister doing with a D-lister?
..Vanessa Hudgens is till an A-lister, right?
Eli Watson
>Damage Control has been referenced since Iron Man It's time
Brayden Roberts
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.
Jordan Russell
i almost feel bad. i really do. i think these people do try.
Aiden Ramirez
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.
Jason Davis
The point of entertainment is to entertain, not to fluff the lore of other entertainment products.
Lucas Edwards
At least it's not being written by David Goyer
Jeremiah Jackson
I know
Wyatt Jenkins
Constantine had bad ratings.
Thomas Martinez
Not in my heart
Josiah Campbell
>NBC comedy either it will die in one season, or survive based on fan love despite low ratings.
Connor Mitchell
but it all is because of multiverse
Lucas Hernandez
>52nd IP IT'S HAPPENING
Cooper Perry
>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.
Brandon Morris
he's right, though. Gotham takes great pains to fit with comics lore.
Levi Martin
>tfw we'll never get that destined movie after Community's 6th season
Henry Miller
It's going to die like Constantine did and I guarantee you Constantine is the better show out of both.
Camden Cruz
>liking reddit the show
Hudson Nelson
or kill yourself.
Caleb Murphy
NBC gave Danny Pudi another show? That's baffling.
Aiden Hernandez
How outrageously French is she going to be on a scale of Un to Dix?
Julian Lee
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.
Xavier Sanchez
She survived a Smilex attack a while back. Part of her tragic backstory.
