If Constantines going out, it aint going out with a whimper.
But mostly, Manny was just used as an exposition dump to give prescient warnings about the Rising Darkness.
Manny, thanks to some magical chicanery from Constantine, became human.
The results were funny and the results were poignant.
John made him human.
Now, Manny got to be angry, frightened and horny.
Yes, fans, we got to witness Manny experience angelic oral sex.
Now, if that wont save the series, nothing will.
Manny also destroyed the map this week as the series jettisoned the last remnant of the pilot.
Zed developed a brain tumor.
Or a reasonable facsimile of Eclipso.
So the shrapnel riddled doc would become possessed by Eclipso and take out these folks.
It wasnt a version DC fans would be used to, but it was scary in its primal rage.
Fate, and so many other magical DC mainstays, we have had the full Eclipso teased as well.
Just another reason to pray to the Dark Ones for a second season.
Its also worth further discussing the destruction of the map.
When Liv got 86ed in favor of Zed, the map became extraneous.
One of the shows issues was the inconsistency of a story engine.
Now, maybe after this episode, Manny wont be so one note moving forward.
IfConstantines going out, it aint going out with a whimper.
After carrying his own strip for awhile, Eclipso became a recurring villain throughout the DC Universe.
This was the entitys first live action appearance.
