The Flash The Flash General Discussion and Speculation Thread - Part 1

[SpideyFan866]

Wasn't Wells speculated to be Chief from The Doom Patrol? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_(comics)


I agree. Gustin was great.


Regarding that, [BLACKOUT]where was the Infinite Crisis stuff implied? So seeing as Batman along with Green Lantern pretty much exists, wouldn't it make more sense if that Newspaper was The Daily Planet? As for Grodd, I honestly don't know if that can be done.[/BLACKOUT]

Spoiler

The Crisis On Infinite Earths events were implied by the headlne stating that the Flash disappeared during a Crisis. And if you're familiar with the story, you'd know Barry did in fact disappear; he was killed during the events of COIE, and (in the new condensed, unified continuity) was replaced by Wally West as the Flash.

What's more significant about that, though, is that it could possibly serve as DC's way of connecting the DCCU, and the tv universe(s) as an established multiverse, as well as possibly combining them into one, uniform continuity, while avoiding the current inconsistencies.

Spoiler

The Crisis does not mean there will be an alternate dimension or a connection to the movies
It could be a Speed Force related Crisis, and Barry gets trapped in the Speed Force
But are we going to have the right version of Wally?

Might not be another Earth

What about a movie called Flash: Legacy? Have ALL the Flashes. It's a good way to introduce the mythos to the public which really only knows the Flash is the red one who is fast.

while this is a good idea I fear it may dilute the property by having six other speedsters living in the same city.

 

[B1-66ER]

Don't have them all active. Garrick is retired and the younglings are just getting started. They only all come together to fight some Big Bad in the third act.

 

[Maximus One]

You guys! You guys! The premiere is so awesome!!!!

 

[coluanprime]

I really enjoyed the pilot. It definitely had some pacing issues but I'm guessing those were mainly due to how much the writers had to cram in. The ending was amazing.

Spoiler

The writers seem to be pulling a Merlyn fake out with us with Harrison Wells and Eddie. I like Caitlin and the Jury's out on Cisco. I'll need to spend more time with both of them before I decide. Detective West was great. I was surprised that he found out in the first ep. I was expecting them to drag it out.

Premiere date is Tuesday, October 7. Since no one here has seen it yet

Additionally, the CW is really pushing the show, giving the post-Arrow premiere slot to a re-run of the Flash pilot + other slots

Eh I wasn't impressed at all with wheelchair guy's acting, Cosnett was much better

Spoiler

Hope he doesn't end up being Zoom instead of Thawne

 

[bored]

So, I've been thinking, a lot of people have suspected that

Spoiler

Wells is a future Reverse Flash "instead of Thawne". What if they both are? There are two RF's in the comics, why can't he be the show's version of Hunter Zolomon with Thawne still being the chronologically original one?

 

[Glassjaw]

Aw, I liked wheelchair guy. If the actors here grow into their roles as much as Arrow's did, the shows going to gel really nicely.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Saw it. Enjoyed it. Wasnt blown away, but it has very good potential. The special effects were really good, hope they don't take to much of a hit after the pilot. It really did have some cheesy moments but it is a comic book tv show so it is to be expected to a certain degree. The editing did seem a bit choppy in places.

Spoiler

Wallys meeting with Arrow didn't really mesh that well I felt, it felt really strange and out of place

I would give it a 8/10.

I hope they dont ignore the Flash family, he probably has the most legacy characters and I hope they all get done justice.

Also with the characters that are currentlly in the main cast right now, they really have an opportunity to turn everything upside down. Cisco and Iris are probably the safest characters on the show, everyone else can evolve into who they are in the comics and disappear for times and others can be killed off.

I hope whoever leaked this gets their due punishment. And if this **** adversely affects the ratings for the pilot, you all better be ready for the shankings you'll receive in whatever internet piracy prison you're sent to!

what if CW leaked the pilot...seems weird if got leaked the day before they announce it's premiere date

They aren't shying away from Green Arrows legacy characters so I doubt they will in The Flash

 

[Glassjaw]

No way CW leaked this. Not when A) they're taking down news stories about this over at other sites, taking down the pilot wherever its hosted, and B) planning to debut it at Comic Con, which would give it a huge word of mouth. This leak has totally taken the wind out of that.

 

[kguillou]

Well at least the buzz about this overwhelmingly positive. This will probably help the ratings if anything I think. This isn't like X-men Origins Wolverine which leaked early but had bad word of mouth because, well, the movie was bad. lol

 

[Primal Slayer]

All will be well.....hopefully.

 

[agentorange]

Pilot was really good. Nice seeing old Flash playing Barry's father too

 

[Sawyer]

All will be well.....hopefully.

MORAL DECAY!!!

 

[Rorschach2012]

Are there any Captain Cold or Mirror Master references?
