Did they think Elongated Man was too silly and went with Plastic Man? Or am I getting the two confused. Though I hope Dibney shows up in the red one piece and sunglasses that Plastic Man wore.

Also unlike Plastic Man Ralph can only stretch.

Plastic Man is explicitly a name that Ralph rejects, he's going to be Elongated Man.

Seems like he can stretch any part of himself. I want to see him stretch like his eyeballs to spy on someone. That grossed me out as a kid, but I want to see it now. Also, they continue to indicate that the MCU exists in the Arrowverse. "I look like a Hemsworth!"

Yeah, I expect he'll just be "Ralph Dibny" and probably never put on a costume or anything but just go with the "super powered private detective" Dibny character. Cisco will say "Elongated Man" at some point and Dibny will make a joke about how bad it is. The "Plastic Man" reference was just a gag and people maybe reading a bit much into them making him kind of scuzzy as a backstory. Mostly I think that was just kind of a tonal miss for Flash writers. I don't think they were totally trying to make Dibny a bad dude. Barry and Joe have that whole talk about what Ralph did and it was obviously all a means to get Barry reflecting on all the sketchy poo poo they've done and maybe that will go somewhere. But it just didn't really work as "morally ambiguous" because "the dirty cop framed someone because he was guilty, so for a good reason" kind of falls flat. God help him when he meets Oliver's mom's lawyer Jean Loring who happens to have a daughter named Jean too. 2018 Arrowverse Crossover = Identity Crisis!

Ralph better get some eyebrow waggles out of being nicknamed The Elongated Man. I don't care if you're a somewhat wholesome dude in the comics. You play the cards Cisco deals you, Dibny.

I wonder if they're thinking about Ralph for a spinoff, or if he's gonna meet Sue and that romance will happen in The Flash

He'll get paired up with Caitlin and leave the show at the end of the season and he'll like it.

That's terrible, but also he was kind of already gone. Hopefully they find out a good way to bring him back for good and he comes back similar to Katie Cassidy, but if he's just in this standby role I get it and it doesn't feel like it changes a lot.rapeface posted:He'll get paired up with Caitlin and leave the show at the end of the season and he'll like it.

Lifting a $20 off someone at a strip club is totally something Plas would've done at the start of his career (and probably in his JLA days too). The references, feel, and delivery are there. I doubt very seriously it's a coincidence. Of the many things to like about this episode (I'M THE FLAAAAAAAAAAASH) I really liked Caitlyn's rage scream and then walking out of it as Killer Frost. It was a neat visual effect. This season owns so many bones. All the bones.

This episode was so great when it was drunk Barry and the Barryettes doing their thing, but it got...like...Inhumans-level bad when it switched to the Killer Frost portion of the plot. ...okay, that's probably too mean. But still. I did like the ice shield effect and subsequent explosion. Very MMORPG.

Let's beat the dead horse that is the Kaitlyn split personality plot line then revive it with mirakuru so we can beat it to death again and continue beating it.

So I guess Harry can just walk around in public now (including going into a police station) despite looking identical to the world's most infamous mega-terrorist supervillain Wasn't there a whole subplot last season about how HR had to use a face changer thingy whenever he stepped outside for that very same reason?

Can't decide whether that's Sackhoffs actual voice or a dub.

Is there reason we shouldn't just assume he's using the face changer all the time? Do you really need to see him switch it on? I say this having missed an episode or two. Maybe somebody outside team flash recognised him on the street? That would be weird.
