Scyantific posted:http://comicbook.com/dc/2016/08/18/the-flash-has-cast-the-top/ I'm more irritated by this: quote:The Top is typically seen alongside Flash's other constant nemesis The Mirror Master Like since when? Is this a new 52 thing? The Rogues were kind of always generally together in the Silver Age but there was no specific relationship between Top and MM. I don't care that Top is a woman, but I hope they don't just stick to the "makes people dizzy" thing and make her at least someone representative of the comic Top who does some insanely crazy poo poo.

Dunno but I've seen a few comments from idiots claiming that it worked last season for Firestorm and Killer Frost so they should do it again. At least that pairing was based on the comics which makes sense. This one doesn't make any sense beyond the "we're the Rogues" schtick.

The Top uses his skills at spinning toy tops to fund his career? How? Is Barry going to meet her a top spinning competition with a very high top prize?

I hope they don't try to change The Top's origin and power set because they tried to change Golden Glider for some reason and hosed up horribly!

I don't think Golden Glider would have worked as well on screen with her original abilities (flying ice skates, right?). They did fine focusing on her character by having an abrasive-yet-playful relationship with Cisco and just giving her a gold-spitting gun. It fits better with Capt Cold and Heatwave too since they just have guns as well. Burning_Monk fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Aug 19, 2016 |

Aphrodite posted:Or not because The Top sucks. Wow. What about the Top sucks? The fact that he spins faster than Barry runs and throws exploding tops? Or the fact fact he came back from the dead by possessing Barry's father while getting it on with Golden Glider? Because I think you'll find that those things are totally awesome

I dunno, getting super powers because you spun around so much sounds pretty baller to me. Basically, gently caress anyone who thinks the Top sucks.

I would believe that Cisco could build hover boots way more than a gun that turns people into gold.

Gonna say no, since Barry/Iris got nominated for best TV Chemistry and best Kiss at the TCAs and nominations are decided by votes Also Caitlin has no chemistry with anyone. Remember when she was gone and nobody noticed?

FactsAreUseless posted:The episode where Caitlin gets drunk and they do karaoke was beat for beat a romantic comedy with them as the leads. Just because the show wastes her doesn't mean she and Barry are not clearly into each other. Yeah that episode was terrible. Not only was the awkwardness cringeworthy but she gets drunk and says he "deserves a peek" for being a good guy or some poo poo. It's hosed up as hell and is the lowest rated episode of the season for good reason. Also lol at the idea Barry was into Caitlin while Monologuing about Iris every episode and stalking her on rooftops and smelling her hair like a goon.

Just lol if you use the Teen Choice Awards as a metric for on-screen Chemistry. Seriously, these are the same idiots who would probably landslide vote Olicity as "Ship of the Decade" if given the chance.

I want Caitlin to end up on some kind of Suicide Squad. Since the movies are doing their own version of Flash, and Supergirl has its own Superman, they should say gently caress it and do their own version of SS.

Scyantific posted:Just lol if you use the Teen Choice Awards as a metric for on-screen Chemistry. The problem with Olicity isn't the chemistry though? Its the writers being terrible and turning her into a charicature of her former self and the disservice they did to Laurel. I actually liked Felicity in s2. Anyway y'all know how I feel. Iris forever. I'm not cool with one if the few black love interests getting sidelined and I've already posted essays in this thread explaining why, the history of medias treatment, sidelining and erasure of black women etc.

Iris, the intelligent person who's a capable journalist and figures stuff out, is a great character. Iris the clueless love interest who somehow doesn't get obvious poo poo is not.

It's hosed up as hell and is the lowest rated episode of the season for good reason. That was cringey? Seemed appropriate to me, since it seemed like the kind of thing a drunk, awkward person would say to try and be a little sexy but not know how to do so and it seemed to suit Caitlin who hadn't flirted with anyone besides Ronnie in years and was probably feeling lonely and slightly desperate because she was drunk - so why not try a rebound? I don't think she'd have normally contemplated it, but that episode she seemed to be simply because she was drunk and she liked Barry as at least a friend and they were still figuring out their relationship (all of them were really) then. No-one would say it to anyone they didn't find attractive, but someone who was normally slightly awkward would certainly say something like it when drunk. There's plenty of reason to find a hero attractive and she was trying (and failing) to be sexy because being drunk was the one time she felt confident and uninhibited enough to do so.

I assumed he meant more than those were examples of people who didn't agree, not that anyone should take them as a metric for good examples. ruddiger posted:I want Caitlin to end up on some kind of Suicide Squad.

Didn't Arrow already have a Suicide Squad, including a Deadshot?
