If you don't wanna watch here's the lowdown: Oh, so it's a Savitar-esque storyline more than a Zoom storyline. That's actually great because Savitar is secretly the best evil speedster ever that no one knows about.

That makes me happy. His episode was arguably the best of the season.

I don't know if they could find someone to ratchet up the Evil-Son-of-a-Bitch levels enough to do Savitar. I mean, Wells/Eobard pretty much broke the scale by being a dick, Savitar would have to be Hitler levels of atrocities at this point. Also, I love how loving  Wells is, even in death. "Oh hey I'm dead. That sucks. By the way I know the future chump you're gonna be miserable anyway "

Sizzle reel from NYCC shows off new footage! If you pause on the scene just before Jay appears in Star Labs of his world, you can actually see the people have a cool retro WWII style of clothing.

I'm a bit disappointed that this season's super-villain is also a speedster. And we even have a third speedster! Zzz... That, along with Atom Crusher -- who was defeated by a very similar "feed him more energy than he can absorb!" tactic as another villain in Season 1 -- makes me worried that they are running out of fresh ideas.

As a non comics reader the only thing I know about the Flash universe is that there's like a million speedsters, it's kind of a theme

And then of course there was the second Zoom. And the Black Flash. And Wally's kids. Etc etc etc.

He must've had superspeed as one of his powers. But I will say it's just loving stupid that Barry constantly gets punched and shot and poo poo. Fighting Captain Cold and the fire guy again he was getting his rear end kicked for a while. I hate the show's application of his superspeed.

It's easy to run fast when you can make yourself really tall and cover half a city block in one stride.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I'm sure thats comic canon or whatever, but yea it seems a bit lame. S3 villain better not be a speedster. I hope it's Grodd. He has the potential to be a super-villain, especially since it was established that his intelligence is increasing and his mind-control powers becoming stronger. Imagine if he starts mind-controlling influential figures in the city and building himself a literal kingdom.

It's kinda like Joker and Ra's Al Ghul for Batman, the Reverse Flash and Zoom are the personal villains who kinda just gently caress with the hero and people around him and Grodd is the city wide, potentially worldwide threat. It's either him or Abra Kadabra for villain who isn't a speedster in my opinion, the other season long arc they could do would be Cold and Heat Wave getting organised, recruiting and doing the Rogues organised group thing without Barry finding out about it straight away.

If you happen to be a Flash Speedster (as Barry is and has been shown to be) and not a Ramjet speedster, like the depictions of Superman and Faora in MoS - where you can travel fast, but can't do fine motor work at super speed - then you (Barry) can goddamned well move out of the way of a stupid loving punch or grasping arm or cold beam. He's just literally loving retarded. And yeah, I would love to see Grodd elevated to season villain.

Yeah, I kinda hope next season they go with a full blown Rogues Gallery, or Super Intelligent Grodd. It'll probably just be Professor Zoom, though. Actually, gently caress it, with the multiverse introduction they should burn it all down and do a Crisis on Infinite Earths story.

If I remember right (painful memories), he came to help Arrow fight Atom, and Atom just zapped him unconscious. At the end of the fight Arrow and Atom had a bro moment, and completely failed to mention the sidekick or even, like, check up on him.

His gimmick was that he reasoned that the Flash did everything super fast, so logically the best way to beat him would be to do everything super slow.

I want them to adapt the Flash's fat black bespectacled friend who has a black hole in his belly he can't control. There's a sequence in the comic where Flash gets sucked in but then runs out with a bunch of survivors that would look cool/be funny on screen. Now that the Flash is public I hour there's a lot more of him interacting with civilians because such situations are almost always cute.
