I legit appreciate Koalas March a lot for bringing up representation issues since it is important and has increased my appreciation of Iris. I didn't hate Iris before aside from wanting her to do more but after reading some of KM's posts in this and last thread I am now rooting for Iris/Candace.

Barry Allen, go back in time and rewrite this entire thread please!

Also I liked this time travel joke but I suggest putting moratorium on calling the thread poo poo repeatedly 4 pages in just because we don't like the direction the conversation is going. There's probably promo stuff and speculation we can talk about, or just sit out until the show starts. One more weeks Flashers (do we have a fan group name yet?)

Can you guys take this social justice warrior horseshit back to tumblr or kotaku?

God drat, no one loving cares if Barry hooks up with milk chocolate or geek hacker girl with glasses or STEM field scientist chick or seductress in a police uniform because the CW has put a straight up 9 or 10 in each stereotype for us to enjoy and I'd love to have Barry sneak a peek at all those goods.

The dumbest thing I've seen in a long time is not the wierd racial poo poo going on in this thread about a teen superhero soap opera but that people thinking this is all super well written.

Actually no the dumbest thing i've seen in a long time are shippers who are so so often terrifyingly creepy and obsessive and doing anything that remotely appeals to them drives everything into the group faster than felicity can cry yell over inconsistent motivation. Thanks for reinforcing that super hard thread.

Then maybe you should stop being so negative.

Koalas March posted:

Like there's 2 posters in particular who just refuse to see the other side of anything, who don't accept her importance, who won't acknowledge what this casting means to WoC, especially black women. Even though I've explained it to them.
So? Why is it so important to you that these two random people agree with you?

Ok you think the "incest" thing is weird but when they retcon that completely you still hate it because???
When did they retcon that out? Last I checked they still grew up together basically as siblings.

What, specifically, are you referring to when you say this? Because it seems like you just mean literally anything negative that anyone says about Iris.

I'd have agreed with this in the last thread. Now I hope Iris dies just to see how much Koalas March would hate that.

The most prominent ones are the weather guy (Weather Wizard), Gorilla Grodd, Mirror Master, Captain Boomerang.

Already appeared on the show:

Weather Wizard - dude who controls weather
Heatwave - dude with flame thrower pistol (yeah not too impressive)
Captain Boomerang - dude who throws gimmick boomerangs (somehow less impressive than the last guy)
Trickster - guy who uses toy and gag based things like exploding rubber chickens or balloons filled with toxic gas
Pied Piper - dude who uses sound based weapons
Gorilla Grodd - talking gorilla with mental powers

Haven't appeared yet:

Mirror Master - uses a bunch of crazy mirror based powers, including using any reflective surface as a portal to teleport through, creating mirror clones of people, turning them to glass, etc
The Top - started out like the Trickster and Captain Boomerang where he just used top based weapons, but eventually gained the ability to spin at ridiculous speeds and also gained some mental powers (a female version has been cast for the show this season)
Dr. Alchemy - can transmute matter, but not organic matter
Abra Kadabra - from such a distant future that his technology looks like magic

Those are the most prominent and powerful, there are others like Rainbow Raider who has appeared in a few episodes and the Turtle Man who was killed last season in a plot point that unfortunately didn't go anywhere.

Guy A. Person
May 23, 2003

Also aside from Gorilla Grodd and Abra Kadabra the other ones typically pal around and team up and actually have the team name The Rogues, and they are pretty awesome. And good news on that front, 3 of the "hasn't appeared yet" have been cast and Captain Cold has been confirmed to return as a season regular (I think he was knocked down to guest star since he was busy with LoT last season) so hopefully we will be getting a lot more Rogues stories.

Calling them speedsters really triggers me. Out of respect for those of us who move at regular speed we should refer to them as above-average runners. There's really no excuse for speedism in this thread. I'm gonna write up a 5 page manifesto on my tumblr telling you why this is problematic.

No, I think we got confirmation that this is not happening and Flashpoint is confined to Flash-only.

The cast from other shows have been talking about it, so I think it will touch them but probably only around the crossover or something.

They're not going to use something that has never been addressed on their shows like that, it would be crazy.

Yeah, it sounds like Flashpoint lasts an episode or two but then there are lingering effects once things go back to "normal".

Lingering effects bets:

1) Someone who was a bad guy is now a good guy
2) Someone who was a good guy is now a bad guy
3) Iris is now in a deeply committed relationship with someone else. Again.
4) Barry's mother lived and father died.
5) Cisco is still rich.


Place your bets.

They don't have to do that, they can just have someone dub new dialogue and use the old footage.

"Hello friend Barry. You look tense, let me show you this new sonic massage machine I developed. Don't forget to scream out the tenseness in your muscles, that's how it escapes the body."

"Happy birthday, Cisco! I have your present right here, let me just cut it from my flesh. I had it placed there so I could be sure you wouldn't find where I'd hidden it. By the way this toiletless, no lunch steam room you created is the best!"
