If he doesn't say "I am the Bringer of Rain" at least once, I will disown this show.

Yeah I hope they lean into it super hard.

He's a fairly major villain, right? Wondering what the chances are that he sticks around for a few episodes. Really poorly acted villains are one of this show's few misses so getting more awesome actors is nice.

Yeah he is one of the proper Rogues, along with Captain Cold and Heat Wave. A lot of the early guys they killed off were C/D-list villains from other characters.

I doubt they are going to kill off any of the actual Rogues, they will likely just jail them for future use. Those are roughly: Captain Cold, Weather Wizard, Heat Wave, Pied Piper, Trickster, Captain Boomerang, Mirror Master, and a few others. Those were the ones who specifically teamed up a ton. Then of course Grodd, Zoom, and Abra Cadabra are the bigger villains who aren't really considered Rogues and that the others stayed away from.

I'm a little worried about Grodd actually because once he's appeared the show must surely have hit its peak and it'll all be downhill from there.

Now we need Peter Mensah to be in charge of some sort of villain training program. Maybe some place with a sandy floor.

We'll probably see more of Geoff Johns favorite villains and ones he created or repurposed into Flash baddies. Murmur, Blacksmith, Double Down, Magenta, Goldface. They'd all be fairly simple to translate to the small screen.

I had thought of him, but I was mainly trying to pinpoint the Rogues who actually team up the most. I didn't include the Top since I am not super confidant they will show him, even though he would be glorious. I did forget Golden Glider though.

I dunno, I watched the first 3 or so episodes of Agents of SHIELD and it seemed like Aggressive Mediocrity: The Action Show. None of the actors really stood out as the sort of person that could really carry a show, even Coulson, who always seemed to be the perfect side character, the guy the protagonist chats with around the water cooler before going off to start doing interesting things. And I felt totally cockteased when the guy in the first episode or two didn't end up being Luke Cage. It's like Marvel went out of their way to make sure no one interesting would show up.

SHIELD is out for another couple of months, and during the long break they're showing a miniseries of 1950s Hayley Atwell kicking people in the face for the sake of Freedom.

And SHIELD ended up getting better after 10 episodes or so and became awesome after episode 17, but "hang in there for the first day of episodes" isn't exactly the way to get people to watch a show.

Agent Carter is also incredibly awesome and you can just jump into it even if you don't watch AoS. You should watch it to make up for the lack of Flash in your lives at the moment.

Shield is good too but whatever I won't proselytize about it here.

Hahaha it's like the showrunners sat down, looked at their list of people to cast, and just said "gently caress it, cast anyone who was in Spartacus."

I mean this in a good way, obviously.

E: Apparently The original Flash pilot script was chock full of DC references, including:
Green Lantern, more Grodd, and Stargirl!

Blacksmith is pretty much the only one I thought was stupid, the rest are uniquely great and could be awesome characters. Especially Murmur, who could even just be a Joe West B plot villain one episode (with STAR labs and Barry coming in with the cure to his poison).

bobkatt013 posted:

Well, Silver Age at least, wasn't he one of the main crew back then? He obviously wasn't during Johns' run, but then neither was Boomerang, except for Owen for a brief moment.

Piper was not one for the entire Wally run, and the show must go on.
