The Flash The Barry Allen/The Flash Thread - Part 3

Also, there's a reason that the suit looks like Daredevil.

They never looked radically different in the first place.

 

[Lord Valumart]

No thanks. I'll take what I know to be The Flash over your CW bs. Hopefully the pilot will be better than the costume.

So, are you going to watch or not? You've made it very unclear...

 

[Kevin Smith]

Good on page =/= good on screen.

Seriously, I know people who don't care about The Flash and have sene the suit and been interested in the show because the suit looks good. They don't give two ****s about the comics.

I know people who have no interest in it because of how cheesy the suit looks. Their words, not mine. Fake DareDevil I heard it called earlier...

 

[Broseph44]

Guys, I think we can all agree on one thing:

The three-time Oscar winning costume designer that made this suit must feel JUST TERRIBLE that this costume doesn't 100% match what has been done in comic-form and would LOVE to take into account the suggestions/concerns of a handful of nitpicky Hypesters.

I think they're disappointed that they haven't please Kevin Smith in particular. I mean he's the only true flash fan. He's here non stop and loves the character and the comics. The rest of us don't love flash or read the comics or anything the way he makes it sound. We just pop in here when there's some news

Right, and do those people read the comics? Because The Flash is pretty cheesey in those.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Kevin Smith why do you talk like you are the only person on this board who likes or knows anything about the Flash?

Sometimes I feel like I am for one thing...

I do think I like him better than some of the other people giving their "concrete" opinions on the suit as a passing interest to be sure but the people saying that I think my opinion is "law" are the same ones who think that theirs is "law".

 

[Kevin Smith]

No, The Flash has one of the best costume designs of all time in those, easily in the top 5 best superhero designs of all time, and many comic book artists (who would know) agree.

There is a difference between being a fan and being a fanboy. A fan likes a character so they can accept different interpretations as long as it maintains the spirit of the original. A fanboy will spend pages and pages complaining that something isn't completely accurate and anyone who likes it is wrong.

Just something to think about.

 

[Broseph44]

He's clearly THE expert guys, he's taken the time to write a 5 part idea for his flash movie. It's in his sig come in guys! Goddddd.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Once again your acting as if your thoughts or opinions are fact. It's bad because I say it's bad! That's basically what you're saying. You overreact over so much it's funny.

No, I gave reasons saying why it was bad other than "because I say it's bad".

Still not answered my question though have you?

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

Ooh, I like this:

Here's hoping they switch the symbol to white!

DareDevil wears burgundy, The Flash wears red. There is a difference.

(Lol finds the darkest looking red on a Flash he can find...)

 

[Broseph44]

Once againnnnnn though you make it sound as if the reasons you're giving for it being bad are some sort of truth/fact. God damn.

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

Green Arrow doesn't wear dark green / black either, but what are you gonna do

 

[Kevin Smith]

So, are you going to watch or not? You've made it very unclear...

Of course.

I have no right to criticize if I don't tune in at least, right?

 

[Sawyer]

Ooh, I like this:

I do hope the red brightens up a bit onscreen.

Some of you do just that.

 

[Lord Valumart]

No, I gave reasons saying why I thought it didn't work other than "because I say it's bad".

See how that sounds less "I AM THE LAWW!!!!"?

 

[Kevin Smith]

Much better. Right direction.

 

[Broseph44]

Some of you do just that.

You're too ****ing much seriously hahaha

 

[Sterling Archer]

DareDevil wears burgundy, The Flash wears red. There is a difference.

This DD looks pretty red to me.

And this Flash looks pretty burgundy to me.

Your made up rules about their colours seem invalid.

 

[Jason Kane]

You win the internet!

 

[samsnee]

Not bad for a tv budget, but yes, the symbol should be white.

 

[Kevin Smith]

In case you've forgotten, the New 52 Flash has a chin strap. You're comparison's invalid. Now take a chill pill, for feck sake.

Yeah I know. And it's stupid there too.
