Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:drat, Hunter's "fake Jay" Flash costume was so much cooler than what they eventually dressed Shipp up in. It had that classy retro timelessness to it, like the Rocketeer's outfit. Yeah, "airbrushed shadows around the pecs to try to make them look more prominent than the gut" is not a great design

Test Pattern posted:I hope that for as long as this show runs, Cavanaugh plays a different version of Wells each season. He's been great and seeing him riff on his own performances has been half the fun of the second season. I thought E2 Wells was a lot less interesting than Thawne Wells. A lot of that is probably the fact that Season 1 was a lot better and built around Thawne Wells, but still.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Koalas March, I really like your enthusiasm about Iris, as well as your interesting discussions about her overall importance in terms of identity politics, being a role model, and all that. I have to admit I haven't always been the biggest Iris fan, but it has had nothing to do with Candice Patton (who is adorable and beautiful and does her best with the material she's given), and everything to do with the writers sidelining her in unimportant B- and C-plots and not giving her enough to do. I really hope they learn from their mistakes with her and in general, since all the DC shows were getting pretty awful last season. She needs to have a defined role in the show. Like, they could do a Arrow style season where there's a conspiracy or an organization that Iris could investigate using her journalism skills. Or maybe they could sometimes let Metahumans live, and Iris could work with them in some way

Aphrodite posted:Iris doesn't actually have journalism skills. You would think that whole thing about her only being hired because she knew the Flash would spur her prove them all wrong and show she's a good journalist on her own merits. Or maybe give up on journalism and do something else. Or, y'know, any sort of arc at all.

There's no way around the fact that Barry and Iris's relationship is creepy af. He pined after her for over a decade, she thought he was her friend the entire time, but he just desperately wanted to bang her. He's a creepy "nice guy".

Burning_Monk posted:Wasn't he also hitting on her as Flash up to an including when she was engaged (or I guess about to be engaged)? Yeah, he was hitting on her while pretending to be someone else. When he accidentally confessed his true feelings for her as Barry he got his friends to say that he had been temporarily insane to make Iris feel bad for him.

Did they ever say what Iris's mother's maiden name was? At this point I'd be pretty cool with it if one episode they introduced Iris's uncle who nobody had ever mentioned before, John Henry Irons.

Spergatory posted:I really want to find that image I saw of "The Flash, Season 10" that just has like fifty Barrys racing around the Allen living room, because it seems appropriate. How many Barrys are we up to now? Barry A is kid Barry who is always there. Then Barry B came back in time and fought RF, and almost saved his mom but was then dissuaded by Barry C and instead just grabbed Barry A and got him out of the house. That's the course of events that is presented to us in the pilot, three Barrys. But we've also got Barry D who came back and stopped RF from killing his mom after Barry B took A out of the house and Barry C left thinking his job was done because he successfully dissuaded Barry B with a solemn head shake. And there's Barry E, who let RF out of the cage so he could go back and murder his mom. Barry E was carried into the past by RF, and it's not clear where he was during the murder, but let's assume RF left him on the porch. So there were five different Barrys at the house when his mom was killed.

Murphys Law posted:Actually, I believe Barry B, after fighting RF, dissuaded Barry C, who was hiding behind a door, with the solemn head shake before carrying A out. Then Barry D shows up, saves mom, Barry C vanishes, and D runs back to the future to start this season. Then E shows up with RF, D is now stopped from saving mom, mom is killed, and D vanishes instead of running back to the future to begin this season. Oh poo poo, you're right, I had C and B mixed up.

Phenotype posted:Curious as to why no one's wondering who HR's intelligent partner is, the one who actually cracked the coded message the team sent out. Because there's literally nothing to base our guesses on. We don't even know if it's a person. It could be his universe's version of Gideon or Gorilla Grodd.

I'm hoping that HR is fully in thrall of a giant psychic man-eating gorilla. I know I just said that there's nothing to base our guesses on, but the way HR put so much emphasis on being the "face" of the operation genuinely makes me think his partner isn't human. So yeah, I'm guessing Grodd.
