shankieNow with commentary!
Don't worry, it's not the big giant post of doo00o0o0oom like last time.
It's just that... every time I watch this episode, I find something new to geek out at.
Yeah, like I need help with that.
See this guy? The one in the green and white polka-dots? That's the eternally fashion-impaired Piper. Well, near as I can reckon.
Piper is great in the comics, because he's the ex-supercriminal who used music to do... well, just about anything. Mind control was the biggie. He was also gay, and openly so; had a boyfriend, etc. And came off about as dangerous as a ranting hippy. Definitely lots of ranting. Kinda a socialist, that one. And by kinda, I mean, he blamed Capitalism for everything.
I've thought about writing Piper into my story, but keep deciding against it. Chunk, too.
Cape love. That is all.
I was told, and looked back to check that, indeed, there was a Kid Flash costume in the Flash museum.
The writers claim that, in the show, Wally is the only Flash there ever was, period. That just doesn't make sense, especially not with this evidence.
The history of the Flashes teaches us that, if a speedster gets his power and isn't given guidance from day 1, it's not usually a good scene. Jay cheated at football, Barry didn't have a clue for the longest time, Max (back when he was called Windrunner) thought he might be some kind of demon and separated himself out from his people for most of his... unique... life. Bart almost got himself killed countless times.
Why animated Linda Park will never marry Wally: this is not a strong personality, people. Wally dated and flirted around with tons of women, but it wasn't until a strong, intelligent, willful and no-nonsense person came into his life that he had a meaningful relationship. To use a metaphor; speedsters are like leaves in the wind. You have to reach out and grab them, not flutter your eyelashes and sigh like a lovestruck 12-year-old.
(I am a leaf on the wind!) ::ahem::
Look at that little Batsmile! :D
Okay, I'm done. For now.
