The Flash The Flash General Discussion and Speculation Thread - Part 2

So how long do you guys think we'll have to wait before we can see Barry learning that he can travel fast enough to run on water?lol

I'll be very surprised if Wells doesn't turn out to be a comic book character.

 

[The Shape]

Is this real?

 

[chamber-music]

With Wells eventually being revealed as a villain and Caitlyn becoming Killer Frost at some point Firestorm will probably take their place in Barry's inner circle support friends

 

[Quasimod0]

Is this real?

Yes. Set photo, I believe

I finally saw the first 2 episodes. And I can honestly say, that this is the best live action comic book-based tv show I've ever seen. Wow! Grant Gustin is just flawless!

 

[Superwoman Prime]

I watched them back-to-back on DVR last night.

I felt some of the acting was laid a little thick in places, like in the first episode when Barry gripes at Dr. Wells and then goes to confide in Arrow. Barry was reacting to the death of a bystander which triggered memories of his mother's death. That's fine, but it fell short of being "earned".

Another slight problem is that the pacing in the first episode had super speed. It just moves too damn fast, and I had a hard time connecting with any of the characters without making a conscious effort.

The second episode was a step up from the first, because of the family angle. I felt bad for Joe whenever his adoptive son disrespected him. The realism made those scenes awkward to watch (but I was glued). Their reconciliation at the end was heartwarming.

Barry's storyline was handled better in the second episode. He's enthusiastic to use his new powers, he suffers a humiliating defeat and flees, his confidence is damaged, etc. I think we'll see this happen many more times.

The action scenes are exciting, the acting is professional... I look forward to episode three.

 

[The Shape]

Yes. Set photo, I believe

I need proof. Too much photoshop going around the Net.

 

[BatsDC]

I hope Wells isn't Reverse Flash. Seems to obvious

 

[Heisenberg]

I need proof. Too much photoshop going around the Net.

edit: I guess these set photos would be considered SPOILERS

So who is that in the suit?

 

[DigificWriter]

^ I think it's a stunt performer.

WOW. Poor Grant Gustin, just as his own show is beginning and receivibg wide critic acclaim DC goes ahead and casts ANOTHER Flash for a big screen movie in 2018. Sigh.....I guess we knew this was coming.

"We were all struck by that lightning."

Yes, Vibe, Killer Frost and devious future guy, you were all struck by lightning.

Eh, let Barry make them feel included. They're all stuck in that lab.

I'm not holding my breath til 2018. Gonna watch the **** out of this show.

I look at this as a good thing. It means The Flash showrunners won't be hamstrung by anything going on in the cinematic universe, and vice versa.

We're getting the best of both worlds.

Now all we need is a Flash cartoon series (traditional animation with Bruce Timm producing, please?).

 

[Tv's Phil]

I get the benefits and all but I still feel for him a little as some people see film as a "better" visual storytelling medium and I'm a little partial already two episodes in.
Good luck new guy.

 

[kguillou]

Yeah. And thats my point. Again we all knew this was coming eventually but it would have been nice to at least give Grant his time in the sun. This announcement mightve been more appropriate after season 1 concluded.

Relax. It wasn't even an official press-release announcement by WB/DC and that Flash movie is still 3 years away. Gustin has plenty of time to shine as the only Flash in town.
