King of Solomon posted:Ah, yeah, you're right. Hm. That means it's probably not the best indication of actual popularity within the show (as obvious as that is for other reasons.) Eh, still works since none of these actors are going to have popularity coming from elsewhere.

Even still, looking at the top ten list on that star meter thing (you can't look at much more without imdbpro) Katie Cassidy is with some impressive company in the top ten (JLaw, Chloe Grace Moretz, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Jamie Dornan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry, and Natalie Portman are the top nine). Kind of makes me think it's easy for a rabid fanbase to game the system, which wouldn't be shocking, imdb and all.

There's been a change in plans, instead of a backdoor pilot later this season they're going to just give The Flash its own stand alone pilot. The episodes introducing Barry have already been filmed so there will be no change there but they haven't said what changes this means for Arrow's plot. The good news is that they're doing it this way because CW execs liked what they saw enough to do this as a stand alone pilot will give the producers a much bigger budget and more time to devote to Barry's origin.

I am super goddamn curious about the direction of Flash's superpowers in the TV show. If they gimp him periodically such that he gets hit by people swinging bats or shooting bullets or tripping him by shoving a stick in his path it's going to be such a lame drag. I tried rewatching the Justice League cartoon recently and was incredibly annoyed by one scene having the Flash running halfway around the world in a minute and another scene where an alien leads his target and throws a barrel at him. Like, seriously? gently caress you comic cartoon. Or when Deathstroke stuck out his sword and the Flash ran himself into it.  It'll totally be cool checking out the 8th and 9th episodes for Barry's involvement in Arrow.

At the same time, if you don't give people some way to nerf his Pants of Goes Fast +10, he becomes stupidly overpowered very fast (  ). Of course, arbitrary nerfbats are rather unsubtle, but someone needs to be able to put the breaks on him ().I'll stop now.

Make it so he gets exhausted after a few seconds of running full speed so he has to hold back most of the time, or force him to slow down in indoor areas to keep from running through walls or killing people with a sonic boom.

I just want the Flash to go fast as hell. When he's running, the rest of the world should look like it's at a complete standstill. If they make it so he can't do it for long, fine. Just so long as he's not the typical "I can run 70 mph!" Flash they seem to use 90% of the time in the cartoons. I swear, most of the time in Justice League, the only time he's as fast as he should be is when they're making a joke.

Yeah, but to be fair, a full-on Wally West Flash would completely trivialize everything to a degree even more ridiculous than Superman. He's easily the most powerful Justice League member when you consider what his power is and how it works. Superman always gets all the deity comparisons, but gently caress that. Flash is a god.

A good example of Flash's power was in Crisis on Two Earths where he vibrates himself so fast at the right frequency that he rips a hole in the universe that Batman can use to follow Owlman to Earth Prime. I wonder about the practicality of Speed Force Barry in currently low-powered universe of Arrow. I mean we're getting there with miracle serum, but we're still a ways off from DC's tiny gods and Lazarus pits (LoA non-withstanding).

Speaking of Flash's weaknesses, did he have any in the old 90's show? I was pretty young then, so all I remember was that he ate all the time when he wasn't zipping around.

Later in the season Tina discovered that his speed was killing him slowly and if he didn't take it easy he might die. I don't know if this ever came up in later episodes but it was a key factor in the clone episode.

He also didn't have godlike lightspeed in that show, in fact he had to work to get up to the sound barrier. They intentionally kept his powers on the lower end and had him growing into them as it went on, like in earlier episodes he had to grab a piece of sheet metal to deflect bullets and then later in the season he managed to work out catching them.

I remember in the Young Justic Cartoon Wally had to actually eat a lot to maintain being able to run, like his suit had a little arm compartment which had high energy food to eat when he was getting tired.

Whenever Wally was in the Watchtower cafeteria in Justice League they showed him with a mountain of food on his tray. Also, I seem to remember him asking "Are you going to finish that?" a few times.

He's already writing the pilot and he has a role on writing the Barry Allen 2 parter in Arrow. But I suspect the stakes will be kept reasonably low and he won't hit light speed until a couple of seasons in or whatever.

Slightly offtopic, but does anyone else hate Lazarus Pits? Comics have enough of a horrid reputation with cheapening death, but the Pits outright nullify mortality. The fact that they're tied into the mythology of Batman, one of the most street-level characters in the DC stable, has always baffled me. That said, I'm admiring the slow buildup Arrow has been doing with superpowers. I'm totally fine with a "this guy took a serum and punches REALLY Hard" power boost.

I really hope there's no mention of the pits in Arrow; bring on the science-based superpowers, whatever, but don't do the pits.
