>The CW has announced that Tala Ashe (American Odyssey) will join the cast as as Zari Adrianna Tomaz, a character better known to DC Comics fans — not to mention viewers of 1970s Saturday-morning television — as the superheroine Isis.
>Ashe’s character is described by the network as a Muslim-American woman from the year 2030 who lives in a world of contradictions: “Technology has brought about incredible change in her future — too bad human nature hasn’t kept pace. Fear, prejudice and a lack of care for the planet have forced Zari to become a “’grey hat hacktivist.’ A computer nerd with a wry, combative attitude. A woman living a double life who doesn’t realize that she has secret, latent powers derived from an ancient, mystical source.”
>I use to be a barista replaced with >I use to be a hacker
Elijah Sanders
Top tier cringe. Everything about this description reads like obvious CURRENT YEAR writing. Fuck this show.
Bets that Felicity can STILL outhack a hacker from the future?
Andrew Brown
So DC has been treating her like shit for decades? I had no idea that their Isis was based on the one from that show.
Adam Hill
That is a really unfortunate codename.
John Myers
Yeah, are the showrunners really that dumb?
Oliver Garcia
Are you people retarded?
Chase Ross
Muslim...named Isis. This is not going to go well.
Anthony Perez
...
Grayson Perez
Are you? She's a pre-existing character, but this is still an awkward time as fuck to bring her in.
Jaxson Howard
Who cares, she's named after the goddess, it's not an acronym like with Archer.
Gavin Sullivan
No but people are nearly every business named after the Egyptian God has had to change it name because more people know ISIS as terrorists & not Egyptian god
Samuel Murphy
Reminder that people are idiots and can't tell the difference between an Egyptian goddess and the islamic state.
Brody Watson
That sounds completely fucking awful.
Daniel Fisher
The only thing I care about is the promised Damien Darhk appearance anyway. Just hope he would be fun, not shit likeh he was on Arrow.
Gabriel Myers
Did watch season 2 of Legends?
Chase Russell
>American muslim named ISIS
touche
Joseph Jackson
>....“’grey hat hacktivist.’ A computer nerd with a wry, combative attitude
WHOA LOOK THE FUCK OUT GUYS, IT'S THE ONE AND ONLY HACKER KNOWN AS Sup Forums. HIDE YOUR WOMEN AND FUCKING CHILDREN BECAYSE SHE'LL BYPASS YOUR DDOS AND STEAL YOUR IP ADDRESS. MAYBE SHE EVEN CODES IN A HYPER DECRYPT JAVA PROGRAM AND RUNS LYNUX TO STAY UNTRACIBLE FROM MICROSOFT'S SERVERS. FUCK.
SHE COULD PROBABLY SHUT THE CITY POWER OFF IF SHE GETS AHOLD OF THE SOURCE CODE AND PRESSES A BUTTON ON HER PHONE. MAYBE ALL THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS WILL GET HACKED BECAUSE THEY'RE CONNECTED TO ETHERNET CABLES!
BETTER STAY AWAY FROM HER ELITE. FUCKING..HACKER. RIG. AMD AND SIX MONITORS STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER WITH A MECHANICAL KEYBOARD FOR GIGAFAST LIGHTNING HACKS. I WOULD NOT BE CAUGHT DEAD GETTING ON HER WRONG SIDE AM I RIGHT WHAT A POWERFUL AND PROGRESSIVE WOMAN, WIPING MY C:/ DRIVE WUTH JUST THE CLICK. SHE CAN RESET MY ROUTER. I FEAR FOR MY FILES BEING DECRYPTED.
When will writers fuck off with this shit? Not a single one of them ever understands how technology works, but they insist on making insipid characters who specialize in the very thing they know nothing about.
Awesome. Really epic dude. I want some college dropout who was going to major in entomology explaining astrophysics to me. Tell me to my face nothing but sweet lies while morons eat this shit up.
10/10, made me respond. I will never not be mad at this trash.
Nolan Lopez
I want them to rechristen themselves as Jesus, just for giggles.
Daniel Jones
>hacktivist Must you really?
Y'know I take back all the times I bitched about the Legion of Super-Heroes not being in this show. Keep them faaaar away from this shit, please.
Oliver Kelly
Yes, hence why I'm hyped for more. If I only saw him on Arrow, the emotion I would feel is being glad that he is dead.
John Foster
Since I still doubt there will ever be a Shazam or Black Adam movie (or an ongoing for that matter), this is probably the first step towards seeing either the Marvel or Black Marvel family relegated to the hellhole of the DCW.
Leo Butler
>Muslim hero called ISIS Yeah I'm sure this will pass well on TV
Benjamin Martin
Oh boy Where is the one writer for CW capeshows that seems to know what he's doing
Ian Campbell
>hacktivist I can't wait for this portmanteau to fall out of grace
Lincoln Powell
She'll probably just go by her real name Zari And they'll just mention that her powers come from the Goddess Isis once.
It's not like anyone actually calls Nate "Citizen Steel"
Jayden Wood
My ebay name had Isis in it after the god and I changed that shit super quick
Jose James
Probably moved on to Flash
Jacob Ward
>as the superheroine Isis In the pantheon of superheroine fap material for kids, she was up there with Lynda Carter and Erin Grey.
Sebastian Davis
Hi, Sup Forums! But you're right, especially when the character insists on spouting a bunch of nonsense technobabble. Like, we'll take your word for it that the character can computor good, just don't go Star Trek on us, please.
Lincoln Nguyen
>hacktivist
UNCLE GUGGIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
John Miller
I'm only familiar with this character from her appearing in 52 as part of the Black Marvel Family. Is the 1970's show worth watching?
>can't use the name of an Egyptian goddess because of some assholes
Why are Americans such snowflakes?
Noah Hughes
>“’grey hat hacktivist.’ A computer nerd with a wry, combative attitude Ugh. Another one of these types?
Nathan Robinson
I don't think they know how to do anything else
Zachary Diaz
i hope people protest cw promoting isis, and they have to change the characters name
you mean britbongs right?
Juan Parker
>Hi Sup Forums! /vr/ and Sup Forums m8. Even I know when technobabble's horsehit.
Kevin Scott
She's not named that. Sadly, terrorists win again. First Pepe, now Isis, they ruin everything.
Isaac Myers
Yea last appearance was brought back from death as a rape slave to frost. Gains back her freewill and goes crazy. Former husband black adam manages to calm down before both of them get stuck in stone.
Then New 52 wiped all of that out.
David Evans
>YOU DOUBLE FELICITY
Ethan Price
well he sure as hell wasn't there the 3rd season
Robert Bennett
well we tried just calling them terrorists and people bitched about us not using their chosen name. Can't hurt the feelings of terrorists ya know
Hunter Diaz
>A Muslim-American from the year 2030, facing prejudice and bigotry. >Implying there will be any muslims left in the USA and the west by 2030.
I guess it's science fiction for a reason.
Camden Flores
I think it's more they didn't want them undercutting they're muzzies.
Blake Cook
>hacktivist from the near future
Only hilarious things can come from this
Xavier Jones
c...cute.
Henry Ortiz
Black Lightning maybe. I'm gonna miss him. Then again, I might give BL a try if I hear good things.
Joshua Rivera
It's like when Nazis ruined armbands and Hugo Boss. The bad guys ruin everything.
Wyatt Jackson
>We need a character that panders completely to the tumblr crowd that exclusively gets their narratives through CNN Should have known they wouldn't be able to match the magic of season 2 but this is just too much. This is why it's getting harder to support any of these DCCW shows. Not only can the writing get retarded with bad twists and awful relationship drama but they tack on their half assed political agendas like that's why anyone really watches this shit.
Ethan Lewis
Was she that Black Adam honey from 52?
Adrian Cruz
and Chaplin mustaches
Luis Barnes
The only thing I can think of Isis being in new 52 was that Forever Evil issue where she revives Black Adam
Camden Jones
52 not nu52. Jesus user.
Lincoln Hernandez
My mistake, I read that wrong.
Jaxon Garcia
You've made a new enemy today.
Lincoln Butler
Why is she called Zari Adrianna Tomaz instead of just Adrianna Tomaz?
Hunter Butler
You think that matters? You think people would be fine if I named my child adolf, but not after Hitler? They're definitely changing it from Isis. You think they'll get away with naming a Muslim character Isis?
