The Flash: Flashpoint Paradox

Now, thanks to Flashpoint, Wally suited up as Kid Flash in the alternate timeline of the season 3 premiere, while the most recent episode revealed Jesse had developed speedster powers during her time spent on Earth-2. Although Harry resisted the idea of Jesse becoming a hero throughout ‘Magenta’, he accepted her new powers and gifted her with a super-suit, setting the stage for Jesse Quick to make her official superhero debut in next week’s episode.

In new photos released by The CW of the next episode of The Flash, ‘The New Rogues’, Jesse Quick’s full costume is revealed. The suit appears to be a mix between the design of Jesse Quick’s New 52 character from the DC Comics and The Flash’s signature style for its speedsters. Take a look:

DC Comics Movie Calender

DC Comic

Now that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has come and gone, the DC Extended Universe is in full swing. So, it's time to take a look at all of the DC superhero movies that will be released over the next few years. And trust us, there are a ton of them on the way, and we expect more details will be announced as we go forward. 

August 5th, 2016 - Suicide Squad

The Suicide Squad movie boasts an impressive all-star cast. Jared Leto is playing the Joker. Then we have Adam Beach as Slipknot, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo. There are loads of other supervillains making their way into this one, too. It's a little crazy.

June 2nd, 2017 - Wonder Woman

The fact that we have yet to see a Wonder Woman solo movie is almost beyond belief. We don't have time to get into the rampant short-sightedness that is keeping women from taking marquee roles in superhero movies at the moment but just know that Gal Gadot does some serious Amazonian ass-kicking in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and then we get her solo movie on June 2nd, 2017. The movie was moved up a couple of weeks from its original release date on June 23, 2017.

November 17th, 2017 - Justice League Part One
Zack Snyder will direct Justice League, and BvS co-writer Chris Terrio is sticking around to work on the script.

March 23rd, 2018 - The Flash

Debuting to some more than respectable numbers, The Flash TV series is a definite fan-favorite.

#Synopsis: Pending...


July 27th, 2018 - Aquaman

Warner Bros. confirmed what everyone on the planet already knew: Jason Momoa is Aquaman. There's no doubt that they've been taking Aquaman very seriously.
Amber Heard will also appear as Queen Mera.

#Synopsis: Pending...


October 5th, 2018 - Batman Solo Movie? (Unconfirmed)

Warner Bros. promised that their superhero schedule didn't include Batman or Superman solo films, but it didn't rule out the possibility of them down the line. Well, it looks like "down the line" might mean 2018. Ben Affleck will direct and star in a solo Batman movie. He will also co-write the screenplay with comics scribe Geoff Johns. According to THR, Affleck has already finished the first draft of the script.
The latest unconfirmed details on this one indicate that it might be an adaptation of the Under the Red Hood story. Under the Red Hood is the story of how the second Robin, Jason Todd, returned from the dead after his murder at the hands of the Joker. Todd becomes the brutal vigilante known as the Red Hood, and it's up to Batman and Nightwing to take him down.

April 5th, 2019 - Shazam

Shazam has both a writer (Darren Lemke, of Turbo fame) and a star (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the villainous Black Adam) announced. If we end up getting to see Henry Cavill's Superman fight Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam, it's tough to imagine anyone would complain.

June 14th, 2019 - Justice League Part Two

November 1st, 2019 - Untitled DC Film

Warner Bros. has set a date for another untitled DC film for November 1st, 2019, according to THR. No information was given as to the story or what characters will be featured in the film.

#Synopsis: Pending...


April 3rd, 2020 - Cyborg

And this one is the biggest surprise of them all. Ray Fisher will make his first appearance as Vic Stone/Cyborg in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and will clearly have a crucial role to play in both Justice League films if they're grooming him for a solo film.

#Synopsis: Pending...


June 19th, 2020 - Green Lantern Corps

Fairly or unfairly, Green Lantern has the most working against him. The 2011 film failed to kickstart the DC Universe as planned, and received a lukewarm (at best) critical and box-office reception. There are, of course, ways around this.
One way is to simply not make Hal Jordan the central Green Lantern of the movie. It was revealed at SDCC 2015 that the Green Lantern movie is now called Green Lantern Corps, and this one may focus on as many as three Green Lanterns, likely with John Stewart as the main Green Lantern of Sector 2814. Tyrese Gibson might be wearing that particular ring.

Spider-Man Reboot Dubbed: Homecoming

Hey Guys, nerds, geeks, fans... I'm sure a lot of you out there probably have heard about the new spider-man movie hitting the big screens next year July 28th, 2017. Ain't it cool? But well what do we know or like to know about this reboot.  
Most of us know that Sony and Marvel's upcoming Spider-Man reboot is set in high school. So the recently uncovered possible title makes a lot of sense on a number of different levels. The movie could be called Spider-Man: Homecoming and practically we can only hope that it ends with a big fight at a high school dance. This was based on Sony registering a domain name for the title, but now three more domain registrations have been found, each suggesting a different title for the film.
Tom Holland is set to be introduced as Peter Parker in this summer's Captain America: Civil War. And we've already gotten our first look at the character thanks to a trailer that debuted earlier this year (2016). Now, we are getting our first glimpses at the wider world this wall crawler will be inhabiting. The Spider-Man: Homecoming title hints at not just an honored high school tradition. It also directly acknowledges that the iconic Marvel character is back where he belongs amongst his superhero peers.

As we saw in the trailer, Peter Parker is on Team Iron Man in Captain America: Civil War. But in the original comic book storyline upon which this sequel is based, Spidey eventually bails on Tony Stark and sides up with Steve Rogers. We have no idea if this is how things will play out in the actual movie, or what it means for the Spider-Man reboot, which hits screens in 2017.
Officially the "Spider-Man: Homecoming" hasn't been announced by Sony and Marvel as  the actual title of the movie.



Spider-Man: Homecoming also has a third important meaning. The title actually references a 1980s Marvel comic book story that featured cameos from both Captain America and Iron Man, both who have been rumored for this reboot, wouldn't it be awesome if it's actually happening. And it has been confirmed by Marvel and Sony that at least one key Marvel player will show up in this 2017 release as an agreement for the shared property between the two studios (Sony and Marvel).
Jon Watts, best known for his indie thriller Cop Car, is directing Spider-Man: Homecoming later this year. Along with Tom Holland, the movie also stars Marisa Tomei as Aunt May and singer Zendaya Coleman as the female lead. So, what do you think? Do you love this title? Or could they have come up with something better? Comment below what you think about the title and suggest dubbed titles for the reboot.

Reverse-Flash Vs. Zoom

What's the difference between the Nemesis of the Scarlet speedster (Reverse-Flash and Zoom)

The Reverse-Flash and Zoom have a long and intertwined history, leaving some to believe the two evil speedsters are the same villain. So where does the confusion comes from and how can you tell them apart!

Barry Allen, The second of the Flash mantle, has faced off several villains both in the comics, TV Shows and the movies but his biggest challenges have always been at the hands of two deadly villains: the Reverse-Flash and Zoom. While both characters are speedsters, on the show, they’re pretty different visually and motivationally. If you have tried looking up the two Villainous speedsters in the comics, you were probably pretty amazed and confused. That’s because this is the Reverse-Flash… (See image below)



And this is Zoom…




Can you tell the difference from the images above? Yes, those are two different characters, reverse speedsters who look nothing alike in the comics and on the Flash TV series. You ask why? In the comics, the Reverse-Flash is also commonly referred to as “Professor Zoom,” or simply “Zoom.” And in some comics, Eobard Thawne is the Reverse-Flash and in others he’s Zoom, making it look like one speedster is actually the two. We are likely to keep asking ourselves Why are these two baddies so hard to tell apart?
The answer isn’t without its complications, but in simplest turns we can say Zoom made his first appearance in 2001, it was meant to be something of a new take on the earlier Reverse-Flash, who first appeared in 1963 and was deceased in comic book continuity in 2001. Not sure if this will help clarify things out but lets take Jason Todd and Tim Drake becoming “the new Robin” after Dick Grayson.” The character we now know as Zoom was basically the “new Reverse-Flash” for a time. ie: Say a certain reverse speedster took on the name zoom. Only for a variety of reasons, that distinction has now become stained. So let’s take a quick look at these quick heavies and see if we can clear up some more of the confusion that surrounds them.
NB: Zoom’s costume covers his eyes, which often appear as red pupils surrounded by ominous dark lenses, while Reverse-Flash’s costume leaves his eyes visible.

To begin, it helps to look at two different eras when talking about the Reverse-Flash and Zoom, this will help simplify the zoom and reverse smoke thoughts. Thus: before and after The New 52.

Before the new 52

Reverse Flash

The CW’s Reverse-Flash, brought to life on The Flash TV series by actor Tom Cavanagh, seems to have been greatly inspired by the original Reverse-Flash. This reverse speedster is Eobard Thawne, a resident of the 25th Century who became obsessed with the Flash, going so far as duplicate the Flash’s powers and traveling back in time to meet the Flash, where he instead learns that he’s destined to become the Flash’s greatest enemy and die at his hands. This shatters Eobard’s already unstable mind, essentially causing him to become the villain he learned about.




As mentioned above, Eobard was sometimes also referred to in the comics as Professor Zoom or Zoom, similar to how Batman is “the Caped Crusader” and “the Dark Knight.” and so on. At the time, all of these referred to the same character, ie: the reverse flash, who was a substantial enough villain within the DC Universe to carry so many names. Eobard would eventually go on to kill Barry Allen’s wife and nearly kill his new fiancĂ©e several years later before inadvertently getting his neck snapped by a desperate Flash, bringing Eobard’s initial discovery full circle and paving the way for a new take on the character. Clear enough right.

Zoom

That new take would come after Wally West, the third Flash, had inherited the red and yellow mantle. As compared to the TV Series: The Flash, Hunter Zolomon was one of Wally’s closest friends when he learned his father was a serial killer after he murdered Hunter’s mother. Sadly, this would be only the first of several tragedies to befall Hunter.

Determined to hunt down vicious criminals like his father, Hunter joined the FBI where he eventually married a fellow agent named Ashley. However, a shootout with a super-villain resulted in the death of Ashley’s father. Ashley divorced Hunter after that, and eventually he was fired by the FBI, so sad. well..., He wound up in Keystone City where he joined the police department and befriended Wally. But tragedy struck yet again when an assault by Gorilla Grodd left Hunter with a broken neck.


Hunter begged his friend the Flash to travel back in time and prevent the tragedies in his life. When Wally refused, Hunter tried to do it himself using the Cosmic Treadmill, resulting in an explosion that gave him the ability to alter his relative time, making it appear like he was moving at great speeds. His sanity now all but gone, Hunter donned a costume inspired by the Second Flash’s previous nemesis (thus the costume of reverse flash [Eobard Thawne's]) and christened himself as Zoom.
NB: From the image above about zoom, he makes some few statements that differentiate him and the reverse flash.

So How do we tell the difference now

Before the New 52, Eobard Thawne and Hunter Zolomon have very similar costumes, so how do you know which one you’re looking at aside the difference we gave in the very top of this post?

Usually time is a good indication. If you’re looking at a comic book from before 2001, you’re looking at the Reverse-Flash. If the comic is from 2001 to THE FLASH: REBIRTH in 2009, you’re probably talking about Zoom. After Rebirth, which resurrected Eobard Thawne, any yellow speedster you come across is likely to be Eobard. (Hunter didn’t exactly go away once Eobard came back, but he wasn’t used all that frequently afterward and has yet to make an appearance in The New 52.)

Of course, you can also use their nemesis as an indicator, the Reverse-Flash was largely a Barry Allen adversary, while Zoom was chiefly a Wally West villain. Finally, there is one easy-to-spot visual cue that you can usually use to tell one from the other. Zoom’s costume covers his eyes, which often appear as red pupils surrounded by ominous dark lenses, while Reverse-Flash’s costume leaves his eyes visible.

It was the Reverse-Flash that played a key role in FLASHPOINT, the miniseries event which launched The New 52, which is the most recent Flash storyline to use a yellow costume for the Reverse-Flash. After that, things changed dramatically. We are about to find out.

After the new 52

Reverse Flash

When DC Comics rebooted their entire line of comics in 2011, some series changed more than others. THE FLASH, which at the time was being co-written by Francis Manapul (who also drew) and Brian Buccellato, saw more changes to the characters than arguably any other series. Just about every villain was redesigned and re-conceived, and the Reverse-Flash was no different when he was introduced in 2013.

With the resurrection of Eobard Thawne in Flash: Rebirth, it had become difficult to differentiate between the Reverse-Flash (who still had the Professor Zoom moniker attached to him) and Zoom, so The New 52 made the two characters far more distinct.


First seen in costume in THE FLASH #22, The New 52’s Reverse-Flash is actually Daniel West, Iris’s brother. Obtaining his powers through a freak Speed Force incident, Daniel’s Reverse-Flash wears a dramatic black and red costume that looks nothing like the Reverse-Flash’s earlier yellow and red suit. Much like the TV version of the Reverse-Flash, Daniel was ONLY referred to as the Reverse-Flash, never Zoom or Professor Zoom.

After his debut in The Flash and eventual restraint, Daniel would go on to be featured as a member of Task Force X in NEW SUICIDE SQUAD and is now presumed dead.

Zoom

Zoom wouldn’t be introduced to The New 52 until last year’s THE FLASH #40, and his initial storyline only recently wrapped up in December’s THE FLASH #47. This version of Zoom, who also is referred to as Professor Zoom, isn’t Hunter Zolomon, but, yes, Eobard Thawne. Much like the earlier version of Thawne, the New 52’s Zoom is from the future and travels back in time to confront Barry Allen, blaming his society’s admiration of the Flash for their unwillingness to accept his authoritarian rule.

While this take on Eobard wears a costume that’s very reminiscent of the first one, his power set is closer to Hunter Zolomon’s Zoom. He manipulates relative time, making it appear that he moves more quickly than anyone else around him, including the Flash. Also, much like Eobard on TV’s The Flash, this version is responsible for the death of Barry’s mother and not his wife like explained in some paragraphs above.

How do we tell the difference finally

Considering they look drastically different, it’s a lot easier to tell Zoom and the Reverse-Flash differences now than it was prior to The New 52. Rather, the more important distinction is to remember that Zoom was referred to Eobard Thawne after The New 52 and Hunter Zolomon was zoom before the New 52. Eobard does wear a costume that’s a lot closer to the prior version of Zoom, but between the diamond-shaped lighting bolt on his chest and the black energy emanating off of him, neither of which the pre-New 52 character had, it’s easy enough to recognize him. Click here to view the diamond-shaped lighting bolt with black energy radiating off his chest.

So What's up with the TV Show

 

 

Well, we know who the Reverse-Flash is on The Flash, and now we have two potential identities for Zoom. However, it should be noted that The Flash’s Zoom has some significant differences from any of the comic villains. For starters, his costume looks nothing like any of the comic costumes, most closely resembling Daniel West’s New 52 suit, but not nearly close enough to assume he’s Daniel. Also, this version of the character stems from Earth-2, which is something new. So it’s entirely possible Zoom is someone who isn’t drawn from the comics.



Then again, The Flash and Arrow often subvert our expectations, making us suspect that a classic character is being embodied by someone new when in actually it isn’t—like they did last year with the Reverse-Flash and Harrison Wells, who was later revealed to be Eobard Thawne.

In short, we can help you identify Zoom and Reverse-Flash in the comics, but when it comes to figuring out who’s behind the mask on the show, you’re on your own! Hahaha.. Sorry guys.

Characters from DC and Marvel: Impostor or Doppelgänger.

True/ False: Characters Marvel Stole From DC And Gave A New Name




Bad news, hardcore Marvel nerds: many of your favorite characters were probably remorselessly stolen from your terrible arch-nemesis. Yes, it's true; DC Comics has been busting out awesome characters since 1934, so they had a five-year lead when Timely Comics, which would eventually become Marvel, launched in 1939, and Marvel's been trying to catch up ever since. Sure, Marvel is pretty great, but it has quite a few characters of questionable origin. Here are some of Marvel's greatest pitted against their earlier DC counterparts, so you can be the judge.

                           

                        
(September 1963) The X-Men vs. The Doom Patrol (June 1963) 




It's a comic about a team of misfits who have been shunned by society, coming together and learning to use their powers for good while fighting for acceptance, under the leadership of a brainiac in a wheelchair. They're called The Doom Patrol, and they were first published four months before the X-Men even existed. The conspiracy deepens, however, because in March of 1964, the X-Men were fighting the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, while the Doom Patrol was fighting The Brotherhood of Evil. The similarities between the two comics were so strong that Doom Patrol creator Arnold Drake accused Stan Lee of somehow stealing his ideas, though it's never been proven. Maybe great minds think alike. Or just have an inside track.


(1979) Black Cat  vs. Catwoman (1940)      




Originally known as simply "The Cat," Catwoman appeared in the first issue of Batman in 1940 as a cat-themed burglar with no fancy powers, and today, Catwoman is still a pretty standard, ultra-agile anti-hero with a romantic interest in Batman. Marv Wolfman basically ripped off the whole "literal cat burglar" Catwoman thing when he created Black Cat in 1979, from the cat-themed anti-hero burglar thing all the way down to her weird love of the hero, Spider-Man. Over time, Black Cat got weird "bad luck" powers and a suit that gives her super-strength, but she still has her origins as a cheap Catwoman ripoff.

 


(1991) Deadpool  vs. Deathstroke (1980)     




Rob Liefeld is notorious for not being able to come up with truly original ideas, so when the Teen Titans fan showed his original drawings of Deadpool to writer Fabian Nicieza, it was glaringly, shamefully obvious that Deadpool was an unoriginal "homage" to DC Comics' Deathstroke, and Nicieza ran with it. The terrible joke expanded to the fact that Deadpool was eventually named Wade Wilson, after Deathstroke's real name, Slade Wilson. Ultimately, Deadpool was such a stupid character that he took on a life of his own, and became an ongoing and hugely popular parody of comics themselves, while Deathstroke is still just a boring assassin obsessed with killing super-teens. But he was there first.

 

(1966) Super Adaptoid vs. Amazo (1960)   




The idea of an android designed to copy the superpowers of a team of heroes was created by Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson in 1960, and when their Amazo robot faces off against the Justice League, he usually kicks their butts for at least a little while. Six years later, Stan Lee came up with a strikingly similar idea, sending a robot foe with identical power-stealing powers up against the Avengers. Granted, Lee's Super Adaptoid looks way cooler than Amazo's weird grandpa-pants-pulled-up-to-his-nips thing, but that's all thanks to Jack Kirby's awesome art. Unfortunately, Super-Adaptoid was just six years too late to be the original.


 (1968) Vision vs. Red Tornado (1963)  




You may know Vision from Avengers: Age of Ultron, but he first appeared in 1968 as an evil creation of Ultron designed to destroy the Avengers. And just like in Age of Ultron, Vision ultimately turns against his creator and becomes a hero as he searches for his humanity. However, in 1963, a very similar set of circumstances were written for the Justice Society of America, wherein a supervillain designed a robot called Red Tornado to infiltrate and defeat the team. Team-destroying androids are pretty common, and the two have different powers, but the their costumes have just a few too many similarities to be purely coincidental. Those huge, wide belts and enormous collars are way too gauche to just be accidents…


(1976) Bullseye vs. Deadshot (1950)  




Will Smith will be playing Deadshot in the upcoming Suicide Squad film, but he'll look nothing like his 1950s origins, where he first appeared wearing a top hat while attempting to replace Batman as the hero of Gotham. Later, in the world of Marvel, another street-level hero, Daredevil, would face a similar foe in Bullseye. Both Deadshot and Bullseye are master marksmen who never miss their targets, experts at hand-to-hand combat, have metal body enhancements, and come from abusive families. They're basically a couple of sad sacks with really good aim, and that aim is good enough to keep both of them working in comics and on screen… but Deadshot was first by a longshot.


(1966) Boomerang vs. Captain Boomerang (1960)  




Why Marvel comics would want to mimic DC Comics' boomerang-tossing bad guy is anyone's guess, because both of them kinda suck. Obviously, both characters were born in Australia, but while Captain Boomerang primarily fights the Flash, Boomerang spends a lot of time fighting Marvel's fast-talking Spider-Man. Both use ridiculous augmented boomerangs that include everything from bombs to razors to probably bumblebees or something, and Marvel's Boomerang even wears a boomerang on his face, just so everyone knows what he does. At least Captain Boomerang keeps it limited to a really terrible boomerang-print shirt. Boomerang.


 (1973) Thanos vs. Darkseid (1970)




Darkseid is Jack Kirby's giant-jawed alien overlord of Apokolips, hell-bent on seeking out the anti-life equation and eradicating the universe of all free will. Thanos, on the other hand, is the giant-jawed overlord of Titan, fixated on making Death his girlfriend and subjugating the galaxy. Both are super-strong, telekinetic teleporters who seem to be ageless and can travel through time, and both are pretty much the most powerful bad guy in their respective universes. You can't really blame Jim Starlin for trying to come up with his own version of Darkseid for Marvel Comics, because Darkseid is one heck of an awesome villain. It doesn't get much cooler than soul-seeking eye-lasers.

And there you have it, Be the Judge and comment your decision below.

Marvel's New Captain America: Civil War Video.

 Marvel Celebrates Friends Day With New Civil war video

On Thursday, Facebook celebrated its 12th birthday with personalized "Friends Day" video montages for its users. Marvel Entertainment took the opportunity to put out one of their own that pokes fun at the personal rift between Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) that will be featured in  Captain America: Civil War.

The video begins by showing snapshots of some of Steve's friends, such as Bucky, Thor, Falcon and Hawkeye. Then it transitions to series of photos showing Steve hanging out with his pals. Lastly, is a photo of Steve standing next to Tony, which ends up ripped in half.

Check it out in the video below.




Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
Captain America: Civil War will arrive in theaters on May 6, 2016.

Justice League vs. Teen Titans

A movie following what is 2016’s hottest trend: superheroes versus superheroes! In this case, it’s a Justice League team possessed by the demon, Trigon versus their proteges, the Teen Titans. You can check out the full trailer for Justice League vs. Teen Titans on YouTube from the DC Entertainment Channel. Unlike so many of DC and WB’s animated flicks, Justice League vs. Teen Titans isn’t based on any specific comic book, though it is clearly pulling elements that have been explored within one version of the DC Universe or another.

A mind controlled Justice League, the Teen Titans fighting Raven’s father, Trigon, and Robin joining the Teen Titans aren’t new concepts. But this isn’t to suggest that Alan Burnet and Bryan Q. Miller won’t be able to spin an entertaining story from those familiar scenarios. For one, this version of events is using Damian Wayne’s Robin (Stuart Allen) — you know, Batman’s son with Talia al Ghul, rather than Tim Drake or anyone else who has previously held the mantle of Batman’s sidekick. This isn’t Damian’s animated debut, though, the character has already appeared in Son of Batman and Batman vs. Robin — but he isn’t the Robin most commonly associated with the Teen Titans and that new dynamic should prove interesting.


Justice League vs. Teen Titans does take place within the same shared universe as their previous animated films based off the New 52 continuity: Justice League War and Throne of Atlantis . But it’s odd, then, that Cyborg is a Titan and not a League member — hopefully that issue will be addressed somehow within the narrative of the film itself.




The film also offers some great voice talent that fans will no doubt be familiar with, like Jerry O’Connell, Jason O’Mara, Rosario Dawson, and Christopher Gorham — who will reprise their roles as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash, respectively. Daredevil‘s new Punisher, Jon Bernthal will take on the role of Trigon, and he faces off against his daughter, Raven (Taissa Farmiga), Blue Beetle (Jake T. Austin), Beast Boy (Brandon Soo Hoo), and Starfire (Kari Wahlgren).
Justice League vs. Teen Titans will be released sometime in the spring of 2016. Don't miss it.
