Title: The Flash on CW
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on February 19, 2015, 10:21:10 AM
This show was brought up before, but it is probably the best comic to small screen transition that I have seen.  The show is solid, funny, quirky and geeky.  It blows Gotham out of the water, but then again that isn't hard to do.  The hebrew girl is a complete 10.  I like the storyline being true to the comic but not campy at all.  I find it more interesting that most of the Marvel movies including the avengers. For a TV show they haven't cut too many corners when it comes to FX.  Every week is like a mini movies. If you haven't seen it, give it a shot.

Agreed. It has easily surpassed Arrow & has some great special effects.

I was really liking this show but now it's lost me as a fan.  This PC shit and retelling of storylines needs to end.  Now they will introduce Kid Flash who is Wally West as a Black person.  WTF!  Why do these shows need to transform classic characters into this PC world bullshit.  They already made firestorm black, why have a Black Flash now?  Would there be an outcry if they made Cyborg a white guy?  Maybe Black Panther a white dude who thinks he's black like Rachel Dolezel?

So, a couple of things.

While I agree that they don't need a Black Wally West, it does make sense, since Iris and her dad are both black in the show. It just fits considering.

However, why are you upset at Firestorm being black? He's been black in the comics for a little over 10 years now.

Yeah and he's at least a new character and not the old white one re-raced.

To me, the dumbest thing they sometimes run into when they do these things are alter ego names. A black kid named wally yeah ok. These are white characters named in the early 60s give me a break.

I do agree with this part.

Leave it to Beaver's brother's name was Wally at that.

It's more like the 50s!

In Supergirl, Jimmy Olsen is a heavily muscled black guy who is, like, 6'4". Bugs the piss outta me. To make matters worse, in the first season, Kara is gaga for the hebrew hunk (no homo). The beta white dude likes her but doesn't get a glance.

Thankfully, in Episode 8, Jimmy tells the white wimp to get up in Supergirl's face and tell her how he feels. Hope she reconsiders and takes interest in him.

Moral of the story: TV/movies love to portray black dudes as muscular, funny and macho, and whites as beta wimps. Pisses me off. Totally see through this shit. Also, Superman's pretty cousin should NOT be taking black cock, ever.

Sacrilege.

Dude..just enjoy the show..you sound like a faggoty white guy...if you were a TRUE comic fan you would know that there have been black comic characters in the comics who later on were re-incarnated as white guys....

Also you would further know that it was racism which prevented many of these characters from being black anyway

Yes, because Powerman and T'Challa were only created recently?

Look, I get what you're saying, but there are currently a ton of black comic book characters that they can use. Seriously... tons. In all universes.

Now... as I said before, they modified the entire West family and made them black, which is fine, I have no issue, but what black family is naming their kid Wally?

Come on.

If we stick to just DC, we could go with the Green Lantern,  John Stewart (1971) or how about Tempest (1977)... Black Lightning... (1977) or Ralph Jackson (1945)

I`m in no way against having black characters but I do not recall Nick Fury as ever having been black!!

My comment was not racist,I`m just a purist when it comes to comics.

Black Panther,The Falcon,Black Lightning,Black Goliath,Jim Rhodes,etc.,all black characters from jumpstreet.

The Kingpin,Nick Fury,Kid Flash,Jimmy Olsen,etc.e6tc., were not, and should not be black!

Nick Fury in the comics is the other Fury's son. Illegitimate. Black.

KingPin was black in one movie and he's white in Netflix. Non issue. The entire West show on The Flash is a black family. Why not a black Wally? It makes sense.

Hey Wes...I'm not in any way acusing you of racism....I've never seen any indication of that from you....what I'm saying is that in this day and age, comic characters must be more diverse...its a question of MONEY as always....they need minorities to watch so as to increase ratings.....what better way than tio make some of the characters black.....

Also again understand that characters were white ON PURPOSE in comics....How can 99% of the characters and heroes in comics be WHITE???...that simply doesn't reflect reality......Also why does it matter SO MUCH what the color of the character is???...just enjoy the show or comic

How is this a square peg? I haven't and don't plan on see that lame show super girl. 
But, all these black actors are playing the roles the same way a white person would play it. You could have a white guy read the same exact movie script and it would sound the same.  ::)

Thanks for clearing that up Tu....I stand corrected.

Never saw the Flash on TV so I had no clue....was going strictly by the comic book.


How `bout Electro being played by Jamie Foxx..........he never was a black villian in the comic?

Not being racist,just don`t like when they change established longtime characters that drastically.

If they were black to begin with,I wouldn`t have a problem with it at all.

You`re right,money does come into play as do ratings which is of course al;l about money.

I honestly could care less which characters are black or white,just stay true to form is all I`m saying.


If Hollywood had any fucking imagination,they would think up more black heroes/villians/charachters not change them from white to black or fucking Chinese!  ;D

They could think up a black character that isn`t even in a comic what with the way they take liberties to fuck with already established tenets.

I don't think he's ever been black. They used the "Ultimate Spiderman" universe version, which creates an even bigger group of issues when it comes to understanding characters.

They just recently merged the "Ultimate" universe with the standard Marvel Universe... It's kind of cloudy right now.

There are very few comics that I consider "great" right now.

It's the companies though... They don't know how to make interesting stories, so it's all the same let's blow up our entire universe thing over and over again.

Barry is short for Finbar as in Saint Finbar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finbarr_of_Cork (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finbarr_of_Cork)



Fictitious, yes.  The problem lies in that these characters are mostly from their childhood.  Like it or not, few people enjoy having their childhood memories intercoursed with in the name of political correctness and/or the almighty dollar.

No doubt there.

Sure would bother me and anyone knowledgeable about the source-material.
(Mostly the older generation, the new generation is already corrupted and doesn't know any better. They're raised with the current PC-values)

You just don't do things like that.

All the things that has happened (changes, be it in art, media, literature or at work) after 2000+ is a true representation of the current PC-climate and liberal society.

Gone are the family values of old and is instead replaced with things like replacing old characters in media with burrheads / other coloreds / women (which is just in line with the current PC-agenda), utilizing the colored racial quota (be it in employment or education) as well as promoting interracial relations.

Tuned into one episode, never again, embarassing acting and fx. The one i saw, flash was running out to sea to dispose of a bomb if i remember rightly, the acting of people trying to look concerned was cringeworthy. Kids stuff at best.
