They have access to magic stones that alter time, space, and reality. Bring back all the dead characters, turn Thor into a frog, bring young Peggy Carter out of the 40's into the present day so Cap can have an awkward-but-satisfying orgy with her, Sharon, and Bucky. Everything is possible.

It will be super hilarious to me if Thor is just back to status quo again in Infinity War. In fact I almost hope that happens, every major change is just entirely reverted with the flimiest of handwaves.

"Rhodey! Weren't you crippled?" "I got better." "Thor, what about your hammer?" "Got better." "Yondu, didn't you die?" "BETTER."

"Hi, I'm Gondu, Yondu's brother. I taught him everything he knew about whistling and I want to join your team. He told me everything about all of you, so we won't have that awkward getting-to-know-you phase."

At this point I have no idea what’s going on with Movie!Flash or his supporting characters.

Its weird that I live in a time where the CW is consistently cranking out the superior versions of these characters but here we are.

Glory to Mankind.

JL had a 40 million second weekend, down 56% from weekend one (which is actually surprisingly okay, considering most previous DCEU flicks have 60-65+% drops). Assuming it continues as usual we're probably looking at a 15-18 million or so third weekend, then half that fourth, and after that Last Jedi premieres and completely destroys any hope JL has of making any more cash. Assuming trends hold we're looking at like maybe a 220-230 million domestic cume. And that's high end, if the bottom completely falls out stateside I could see it barely making 200 million and holding.

Looking at a 70 million loss domestic on the budget of JL, and that's optimistic, is pretty loving dire for WB.

tbf I've heard rumors about this from people on the ground since Rick left. WB wants white Iris. Rick didn't and Geoff supposedly just wants a second Candice Patton. (Who he sends gifts to every season)

edit: This is also related to the "creative differences" that caused him to drop out iirc.

It's always just a bunch of Flash/DC merch. They used to hang out in S1&2. I haven't been following her social media as much, but she used to mention him sending her presents and do snapchats with the gifts and stuff a lot. I think they also snapchatted together a few times but you'd have to look on tumblr for that stuff. (Yes, there are Candice/Geoff Johns shippers so be careful lol) For example, he sent her this iirc:

ON the one hand I don’t really like the idea of casting someone to try and specifically emulate another actor. That seems derivative, and doomed to come off as a poor man’s version when you could bring a new interpretation of the character that could stand on its own.

That being said it’s really gross and weird to pick “White Iris” as a hill to die on, so I hope she isn’t because gently caress that.

Shame the Percy Jackson movies crashed and burned or we'd be getting that when they got around to Rick Riordan's Norse series. The protagonist's love interest is a gender-fluid shapeshifter, courtesy of being a child of Loki.

Well Rick had worked with Kiersey before. He cast her in Dope. Which I think is still on Netflix. Go watch Dope. Rick wanted to cast a lot of PoC and #KeepIrisBlack and word is they didn't want The Flash to be an "urban movie"

Oh yeah, I remember Dope. She would’ve been good, I think. I guess I was just leery of how it seemed to be framed as wanting to essentially cast her as Candice as Iris, rather than casting someone as Iris if that makes sense?

Also I don’t see why that would make it an “urban” movie. I mean I know what they’re actually saying, but it’s so stupid on the face of it.

Too many black people in a movie makes it a "black" movie. The assumption is that it will fail because white people won't want to see it. Which makes no sense with Cyborg on the lineup and Black Panther being highly anticipated. But WB is regressive as gently caress and has a history of making terrible decisions.

Movie Flash is running real fast through the speed force as he tries to unfuck everything he’s done. As he’s running he sees another red blue. It’s TV Flash doing the same thing. As they pass each other they go “I loved you in Wall Street!” and go on their way.

I’m not a sociologist but I’m a very white boy and I enjoyed Coming to America, which is to say I don’t fear black people on my video screens and I don’t think my experience is unique.

Coming to America just had Louie Anderson, right? I’m trying to think if I’ve seen a movie that literally had zero white people.
