Wait, I knew about the timeline thing but I don't remember the nicknames thing being related. Are you saying that there was some scene that implied Cisco was actually remembering these villains' names from being connected to the DC print universe?

No, he remembers Flash's villains from the original timeline before Eobard sped everything up.

But then how did those villains originally get their names, in the original timeline? :tinfoil:

It's a cool theory, but I don't think the show has actually suggested this. Cisco doesn't even come up with all the nicknames; folks like Pied Piper, Grodd, and Firestorm came with names ahead of time, and Caitlin was the one who named Peekaboo.

Cisco getting villain names from memories of alternate realities is one of the dumber theories I've heard when it comes to these shows. That would be needlessly stupid. It reeks of the worst kind of reaching fan theories. I realize the writers on these shows aren't really above something dumb like that because we've all seen some of the other stuff they've done already, but I'd like to have hope that they were.

Yeah, I've gotta say that the only thing I remember them saying is that he can see other timelines, and have only shown so far his recollection of the day he was killed. Maybe that'll change this season, but I doubt it'll be something that shows him pulling names from another universe.

Cisco finds the nicknames he comes up with so awesome he transmitted them across the multiverse into all the minds of every Cisco. One day, there will be a Interdimensional Council of Ricks Ciscos who will convene to agree, yes this is all really awesome :haw:

Cisco only remembers the timeline he died in so far. We don't even know if he knew Barry in the first timeline.

Shut up nerds.

I don't believe the nickname theory by any means, but Wells says something when he realizes that Cisco remembers being murdered that implies Cisco has powers in the original pre-Wells universe, too. So he probably knew Barry since that's how superheros roll.

I'm really hoping they rushed releasing this to preempt some on set shots of Diggle in his new gear and it will look much better in motion and with less photoshop.

Seriously what is with DC's hard-on for embargoes. No embargo means we COULD HAVE HAD GUARDIAN ON LIVE TV IN TYOOL 2015. Someone photoshop a Guardian helmet onto Diggle.

Comic book characters should be put in comic book worlds like the Watchmen movie did. I can watch that movie and not feel like the costumed heroes are jarringly out of place or that the people in that world view costumed heroes as laughably stupid. Guardian's costume would actually be one of the easier ones to translate to Arrow's grimdark world, though

Nobody has said an embargo is the reason he's not Guardian.

He's not Guardian because he's not Guardian.

I'm glad it looks like all of Ollie's dumb decisions from S3 didn't get magically swept under the rug and there's serious trust issues

Also Thea in the Red Arrow outfit is hotter than I thought it'd be

A big part of their fan bases loves Oliver and Felicity together. They would never do it, even if it would be hilarious.
