The Flash (2014) (Page 3 of 5)

No, I'm sorry but it was a train wreck of a show; completely pointless and done just "because why not?"

Yeap, it's not looking good - https://whattowatchon.tv/the-flash-2014-tt3107288
I dropped it mid season 2 or 3.

Oooh, I have a speed force cohort? I thought I was the only one watching things high speed.
I've hated this since S2 but like bamuel I'm compelled to watch it. But hey, Black Lightning's done and Painkiller didn't get picked up so at least that's one CW show I'm done with, even if it was the least painful to me.

Legends, Batwoman, Supes/Lois. Stargirl was DCU and unfortunately is going to CW instead of HBO. I wasn't crazy about it but it improved as the season went on and was much better than the CW stuff. I'm hoping it doesn't change to fit their mold in S2. Supposedly Naomi is also on the way but idk how that'll work out when she barely has a presence yet in the comics.

I think the mayor would really love your ideas about redistributing wealth to all the folks at this pro football game who can't feed their families, now if you'll excuse us we need to go listen to the guy who gave up his teleporting powers complain about no more superspeed food deliveries.

Well there is that helium shortage...and it's been like 90 years since anything bad happened with a hydrogen blimp...and all of our aircraft failures mysteriously don't have fatalities...let's do it!

The Flash assembles a proverbial legion of super-heroes to start Season 8... including Batwoman/Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie), Black Lightning (Cress Williams), The Atom (Brandon Routh), Sentinel (Chyler Leigh), Green Arrow/Mia Queen (Kat McNamara), and Ryan Choi (Osric Chau) in the trailer for the 5-part Arrowverse crossover.

I have to say as much as I kind only hate-watch The Flash, and at that I watch it at 1.5 speed, I still really am excited for this crossover. I felt Black Lightning to be the most consistently good CWDCU series and I was very disappointed that CW didn't pick up Green Arrow & The Canaries as I liked what I saw of them in the Crisis on Infinite Earths back in 2019.

Despite what the CWDCU writes have done on The Flash of late I thought they did a great job with that '19 crossover and cannot wait to see what's in store for our intrepid cast of castoffs... perhaps we may even get another shot at those spinoffs or even some new recruits to the Legends of Tomorrow  

I mean it's what the CWDCU (or whatever you want to call it) does every year... so yes but like only because they always are desperate to keep viewers especially after the rating at the end of last season.

Well I gave up on Supergirl after the infamous "There's sunlight in the grass" scene, that being as it is I am always up for those Golden/Silver Age Comics vibes which these crossovers radiate. But that's just what I'm into with most of these Arrowerse series. That's why I still watch The Flash at all... Speaking of yeah I remember The Atom (Brandon Routh) leaving The Legends and all I want to know is, has he and Nora Darhk had any kids yet? What time period did they settle in, cause Nora is still pretty young in 2021, so did they move to the future ...and how is she doing with the Blue Fairy curse anyway?

Hahaha... On top of all those possible silly little reasons to revisit characters like Black Lightning (Cress Williams), and hopefully a little Lighting & Thunder too, or Green Arrow/Mia Queen (Kat McNamara) even Xs/Nora West-Allen (Jessica Parker Kennedy) is because I, and possibly the Powers That Be who produce the Arrowerse series, find a lot of fun and entertainment can be had with these CRISIS stories... well and money, for the PTB it's a lot with the making of the money too... of course.

Anyways, I'm less concerned over who I don't like in the crossover or what the MacGuffin will be or how they'll get Jenga at the end of the story or even why the PTB decided to make this year's event take place only on The Flash and I'm more excited to check-in with my favorite forgotten characters while hoping that enough buzz might be generated to keep a couple of them on one of the current CWDCU series, in some fashion. Which might be a terrible reason to tune-in, from some folks POV but for me, a comic book fan first and an Arrowerse viewer second, it's all I really need    ( ...Well, that and some BOO$TERGOLD pretty please  )

However, I get you that it is weird to start off a season not reintroducing the status quo but a bunch of characters that probably won't be in the series... annnnd they've been pretty tightlipped about the rest of the season. This might mean that they have nothing of substance for us, sure, and with a lot more things coming out to HBOMAX from the DC universe going forward it seems as though the CWCDU might be waning I still have hope for this sunnier side to DCU TV... I for one am not watching the Arrowerse for the hardboiled action, that's for sure. So I do hope it is not over yet 

As for what the AVENGERS did in the MCU, I think it's a bit different and not just because of the nature of TV series versus movie and mini-series but because of the very nature of the source material from the MARVEL and DC Comics universes. That being said I think the CWDCU is evolving, as you mentioned Superman & Lois and Stargirl... which I believe are prime examples of that evolution (however they came to the CW).

Supergirl has gone ( good riddance) hopefully Flash is the next ( Atleast it did not go woke ) I never got the premise that being able to run fast was a super power. Able to run up walls even into the sky. give me a break.

You weren't expecting 38 minutes of a bad soap opera then

? Do you even Flash, bro?

I have just watched this eps. The show seems to be thread bare now, past its sell by date. and that Chester guy die die die

Okay, that Ep was just bad... but at least you must be happy merc Sentinel (Chyler Leigh) was barely in it, basically just a few ZOOM calls
