The Flash The Flash General Discussion and Speculation Thread - Part 6

[roach]

“Last year, with the Reverse-Flash, we just modulated Tom Cavanagh’s voice, and this year we wanted to do something a little bit different,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells Variety. “Part of the mystery of the season is who or what is underneath the Zoom outfit, and so we wanted to do something like James Earl Jones as Darth Vader — this iconic voice coming out of this mask. Last year, we thought of the Reverse-Flash as a speed warrior; this year, Zoom is like a speed demon, and no one does demon-voice better than Tony Todd.”

OH DAMN! That's awesome can't wait to see Zoom!

 

[Web-Head]

Tony Todd and Gorilla Grodd

 

[WBwins]

Love the flash think its even vetter than daredevil tv show.But thisall sounds like a rehash of S1

 

[The Shape]

Kreisberg compares Zoom’s appearance to Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man, revealing, “The Zoom outfit is much more organic than the Reverse-Flash suit. In a way, it’s hard to tell if it is a suit or alive… There’s no skin showing, for all you know there’s a robot underneath, or dark energy.”


Can't wait. It'll be another season-long mystery of "who's behind the mask?" but I hope they're able to make Zoom feel totally fresh and different than last season's Reverse Flash (who, for me, is a villain that will be extremely hard to top).

I'm loving everything I'm hearing about the next season and Todd doin Zooms voice just made me that more excited for the season October can't come soon enough

So who do you guys think Zoom will turn out to be? I'm wondering if it's going to be a current character or a character they introduce at the start of season 2.

 

[Headliner]

I really don't think they will do this, but what if the original Eobard Thawne comes back, and this time Harrison Wells ends up as Zoom?

 

[Lencho01]

Great casting, man.

I'm thinking its

Spoiler

Barry from Earth 2 there this trailer where Barry's eyes turns blue instead of red, also he leaves behind a blue lighting trail, while also running across the world. The blue streaks Zoom makes are similar to the ones Future Flash makes in the new 52, its funny they said Zoom is a speed demon because that's what Future Flash is a speed demon of the night full of vengeance, if Zoom is from Earth 2 and since Jay is The Flash then what did Barry become in Earth 2? I'm thinking Zoom is Barry just like Vader is Anakin.

Candyman voicing zoom?
That.is.****ing.awesome.

That sounds cool as hell.
Todd's voice and a creepy ass suit?

yes please

Meh. People that are heavy into the comics might like that but I'm more transitional and I'm hoping Zoom is an entire different person with a great backstory.

I'm liking the sound of that!

 

[Avenging Angel]

Tony Todd. Epic voice. Candyman ftw.

 

[Ted]

I can imagine the finale being Flash and RF (he has issues with Barry, but he aint evil from what the producers are trying to present) vs Zoom, directly or indirectly, but im sure RF will be involved in taking down Zoom

 

[Loki882]

My current theory is that he's

Spoiler

Eddie, who was resurrected/corrupted by whatever dimension he ended up in at the end of S1.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I said something very similar after the finale, that Eddie would end up in another dimension where he was healed and would come back as a bad guy, I suggested the new RF at the time.

 

[The Shape]

Many have speculated as much.

Well they plan on doing something with him being sucked up in that hole.

 

[Loki882]

Of course, otherwise they wouldn't have made a point of focusing on it.

 

[Avenging Angel]

instead of Eddie

Spoiler

we should start calling him Cobalt Blue

In what way is Thawne/Wells not evil? His plan was to murder a child, and when that was foiled, he murdered the child's mother out of spite.
