Some characters are not at all groovy - Touchstone the Jester shows up with a madras plaid jacket for his “motley coat” and manages to convey the humor of his jests as much through his delivery as through the words themselves.
#VIBE DC WIFE UPDATE#
Here, too, Zirm’s direction and the update serve the material well the cast are all encouraged to deliver the lines naturalistically and conversationally, whether as a mafioso like the excellently menacing Robert Teachout’s evil Duke Frederick, or a New York bruiser like Bill Bodie - who then shows a completely new character as the ultra-hippie-dippy Duke Senior. Matt Mills’ sound also fits the theme, incorporating clips from Rocky, The Godfather, and Darth Vader’s theme, but more important makes every syllable of Shakespeare’s verse audible. William Fleming’s fight coordination works too, whether seriously between feuding brothers or humorously in the pro-wresting/Rocky parody of Orlando’s challenge. Fittingly, Jennifer Morrissey’s costumes play with all the different looks of the era - peasant dresses, schoolgirl jumpers, psychedelic mini-dresses and go-go boots, army surplus, denim, black fedoras and trench coats, and of course lots of vests, tie dye, and bellbottoms.
#VIBE DC WIFE PROFESSIONAL#
Miller Photography.ĭirector Fred Zirm’s charming conception of the show draws not just on hippies, but on every 1960s and early 1970s trope, from the Godfather to Darth Vader to professional wrestling to Black Panthers to country farmers straight out of Hee Haw. Betsy Schugar as Rosalind Corey Ahearn as Amiens in ‘As You Like It.’ Photos by Julie B. The British Players’ placing Shakespeare’s classic comedy As You Like It in the groovy Woodstock era not only updates the setting but makes sense of some plot holes in the original - most notably, why are a bunch of noblemen hanging out in the woods? Turning them into a group of hippies grooving in nature instead of battling the cutthroat politics of a gangsterish court works extremely well. Shakespeare, of course! The Bard has been refashioned in every era from dystopian fascism to the Fifties to Wall Street in order to make him more relevant. This, combined with the Eleventh Doctor's "geronimo!", came to the irritation of the War Doctor.Before superhero comics came along, what franchise did directors reboot endlessly to bank on a tried-and-true product while satisfying audiences’ cravings for novelty and relatability? The Tenth Doctor yelled the phrase as he, along with twelve other incarnations, combined the power of their TARDISes to use a stasis cube to freeze Gallifrey in a pocket universe. It saved his life on Midnight by proving that the being possessing Sky Silvestry had stolen his words. (TV: Voyage of the Damned) The Twelfth Doctor once claimed that he was able to say it due to his precise control over the TARDIS translation circuits. (TV: Midnight) It was one of the Tenth Doctor's favourite sayings he especially wanted to say, "Allons-y, Alonso", (TV: Army of Ghosts) which he eventually said to Alonso Frame. Here's the rundown from the Doctor Who Fandom Wiki:Īllons-y, according to the Tenth Doctor, was French for "Let's go". This is far from the first - more like the hundredth - Doctor Who reference to appear on The Flash.
prev nextĪt one point, Sherloque Wells says "Allons-y." While this is actually not an unusual thing for a French person to say, it is almost certainly used in this case as a reference to Doctor Who.
In execution - the fact that the villain literally blew something up and then believed that he had succeeded in killing the hero - this feels a bit like The Amazing Spider-Man #347, in which Spidey realizes that, stranded on a desert island, he has little hope of defeating Venom in a one-on-one battle and opts to fake his own death so that Venom can be "at peace" and leave him alone.
There have been numerous variations on this idea in the comics over the years, notably including "The Death of Clark Kent," in which a supervillain was targeting Clark rather than Superman, and in order to protect his loved ones, Kal-El had to briefly abandon the Clark Kent identity and pretend the reporter was dead. In this case, the death of Vibe refers more to the idea of killing off his secret identity so that he can continue to live without being hunted.
(Not that, in this case, that's a bad thing.) With "The Death of Vibe" as your title, you just know that the episode is almost certain not to deliver on that promise. "The Death of Vibe" (Photo: Marvel Entertainment)
