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

[KillerMcQueen]

So hyped for tonight!!

Even though I already saw it I'm still extremely hyped for this, It seems like it wasn't that long ago that I was stoked about Barry appearing on Arrow and we were speculating if he'd get his origin at the end of the two parter. It's amazing to see this show get started.

The costume still hasn't grown on me. While it does kind of look like he's running around in a leather costume, I can get over that. It's the color, it just doesn't look vibrant. It's too muted, especially for a character like the Flash. But that's just one nitpick, as long as the show keeps it light and interjects some levity I think I'll like it.

maybe the costume will be in the first few episodes or for the entire first season as a prototype costume and if there's a second season, he'll graduate to the more traditional costume...

The producers have said exactly this. Just like on Arrow the look will evolve.

In other news, here is my early review of the episode if peeps are interested

The biggest thing that the CW has against it right now, in terms of pulling big ratings for this premiere, is the fact that the pilot was leaked online in DVD quality a few months ago.

I'm sure many have seen it online by now and such, thus you have to wonder on how many will exactly make time in their everyday schedule to watch it again on TV when it premieres.

I don't think that it will affect the ratings, unless your active online most people probably dont know about it.

I'm so excited for this thing to get moving, I almost forget I've seen the first ep already.

Get here already, next week.

 

[Cybermaxis]

It will be great to see it again but this time in HD

Captain Cold

Captain Cold

Looking better than his 90s albino counterpart, at least. Glad to see the cold gun rather than the short lived N52 DNA recoder thing that gave him metahuman powers.

Parka, please.

[Sawyer]

Now with Parka...

 

[famicommander]

I hope we eventually get to see the full compliment of Captain Cold's classic Rogues.

We've already got Cold, Heat Wave, Weather Wizard, Captain Boomerang, and Pied Piper confirmed. That leaves Abra Kadabra, Trickster, Top, Golden Glider, and of course Mirror Master.

Wonder if they'll use Turbine instead of Top? I haven't seen Top in N52 and Turbine is black, so that could add some diversity to the group.

And the existence of Girder hopefully implies the eventual existence of Blacksmith's Rogues. I'd love to see a war between the factions, gives them a chance to portray the Cold's Rogues more sympathetically. Makes them more interesting villains.

 

[BatsDC]

Parka isn't blue enough.

 

[Mister J]

I am disheartened by the lack of love for Turtle Man.

 

[famicommander]

I am disheartened by the lack of love for Turtle Man.

Speaking of Jay Garrick villains, I'd love to see them do the Shade, Ragdoll, Fiddler, and Thinker.

 

[Ultra Nolanite]

Love the look.

 

[king666]

Captain Cold looks cool.

Five Things to Watch For in Tonight’s Flash Premiere

This tone is maintained through much of the show’s dialog, which contains some great banter. The result is a show that delivers what many fans have been clamoring for—a live action DC Entertainment project that isn’t quite so gritty or grim.

DC Entertainment is pretty self-aware

 

[Pickleweasel]

Parka costume's not bad for a beginning but I'd like something more like his usual costume in the future

 

[Human Torch]

Yeah.Can't say I'm all that impressed.The 90's version,at least had a bit more flair.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I like the look of Cold, but he needs the hood

 

[Sawyer]

There's a hood, he just doesn't have it up in that pic.
