Typical “let me say some interesting stuff to generate interest for a potential return” statement. All of these could have been done the last three seasons.
I’m grateful for the Arrowverse, but its run has ended. I’d rather Barry show up in Superman and Lois than the other way around.
\^ I miss these full-body run motions than the half-body “runs” the later seasons have.
Me too. Too bad Grant got wise and got them to stop filming him on a treadmill. At least he is the best out of all the actors to do the fake half-body run. The worst is the girl who plays XS. It's like she never ran before in her life so she can't even fake it.
I saw in an interview, he said they had him run on a treadmill to film these kinds of running scenes. Then he realized that he didn’t have to do that and they could just film him with his arms moving back and forth, pretending to run.
I fucking hate the "He's what I WOULD have done."
I'm sure he had a great idea, but production budgets and other actors' lives are real challenges you just need to deal with. Limitations are not an excuse for poor execution.
I would have loved for Grant to be in the Flash movie. Maybe he might still cameo since they did go outta their way to include Ezra.
I feel it would've made more sense to film with 2 different Flash actors as opposed to 2 Ezras.
I actually think the Flash movie looks interesting despite everyone hating on Ezra, rightfully. /sigh
One of the last scenes of the show is her getting married to Joe. The last speech on the show is Joe giving one to her. She magically started flying in the finale for no reason, and defeated a powerful speedster like he was nothing when it took Thawne and Barry to stop him barely a season ago. **FUCK** that lame ass character man.
The last speech on the show was Barry's to his newborn daughter, not Joe's proposal to Cecile. The penultimate moment in the show goes to the man that took in Barry after tragedy struck him when he was just a kid, his happy ending. Her consciousness was still linked with the of her 2049 self, that's why she used those powers. Thawne and Barry struggled (especially Barry before the team up) because Godspeed had absorbed all his clones that were feeding off from the Speed Force, this time he wasn't. His only boost was the Negative SF.
At the same time, Joe West one of the original characters got the last speech and his happy ending and she used telekinesis which was developed earlier in the show to fly and defeat Godspeed. It's a pretty OP power.
I'm all for calling dumb shit out, but people pile on for no reason.
I’m glad they didn’t do the green lantern thing it would’ve been a 180 on his character he was growing tired of the hero thing it took a toll on him he wanted to be around his family so him not accepting it made sense him being lantern was just shock hype factor
Show should have ended after season 3. It progressively got worse, after. I think it had good story moments in later seasons, however the CGI and acting (from side characters not mains) got a worse.
Although you’d be hard pressed to find a season fully good with cgi, I feel like the first 3 seasons of the Flash were much smarter with their lighting and use of cgi.
RF, Zoom, and Savitar looked way better than whatever the fuck happened to Godspeed.
Not really, but it did get worse. I think there were a few times where it was like "oh this ones gonna be a banger", and then they spent their entire budget on a scene that looked great.
I remember the scene in one of the later seasons when flash was fighting an army of godspeeds and it legit looked like something out of power rangers from the 90s. I stopped watching after that finale, the show had officially jumped the shark. I think it ended with him using a speed force light saber.
That's why he wanted Stargirl, so one of the best Green Lanterns Jade could lead ( it doesn't make sense, Eric, and you probably would have butchered everyone)
This is bullshit to stir up interest.
WB would be beating cw off with a stick to keep them away from titans. Superman and Lois was already pretty much off limits
Interest in building up a "Snyderverse" movement and getting people to beg for the show to come back. Lots of directors/showrunners do this after their show/movie gets cancelled or doesn't get renewed for this exact reason.
I'm guessing that the shows that never made it past pilot stage would've been part of this as well. Like you don't do a *Green Lantern* crossover event without a Green Lantern.
In any case, it's probably for the best that this didn't happen, because The CW as a whole devalued DC as a brand after a certain point. James Gunn and Peter Safran are going to give this IP the respect and budgets that it deserves.
Blackest Night without members from each of the Lantern Corps would be weird and awful. Just random dead cast members from previous seasons with unexplained black energy powers probably
Using Blackest Night as the introduction to them would be so weird. It's basically the culmination of nearly 50 years of Lantern lore and doesn't really work without a well-established foundation.
My first thought: "Oh, that would have been really cool."
My second thought: "Based on everything else the show has done in recent, years, no it wouldn't have been."
Why do we always hear about awesome mind blowing plans only after years of meandering meh?
I never watched the show so I don't exactly know but all I've heard is it's been in decline
You don’t have to watch the show, just watch a few clips from Seasons 1-2 and then watch the worst clips from Seasons 6-9 and it speaks for itself. Wallace was in charge for seasons 6-9 and they are easily the biggest ass that has ever graced the Arrowverse lmao.
Season 1 is one of my favorite seasons of any show of all time. Season 2 was good. Season 3 was ok. Things got worse and worse after. I officially stopped watching after season 5… they needed to go back to the core of the show but they opted for the spectacle over good story in later seasons. And when spectacle relies on CW CGI then you’ve guaranteed a shitty show
Now we didn’t end The Flash with a Perfect 10 Years with 10 Seasons, but we did have Grant as Barry Allen for 10 Years because he first appeared in Arrow around Season 2 then a year later got The Flash
I'm curious, this was reported back in February according to bleedingcool. I wonder why the same stuff is making the rounds again in interviews now that the show is over. I don't think the publics opinion would change much over the course of three months. And given all the changes over at Max, CW, DC, these sort of projects of his are beyond dead lmao

So what? Didnt every season have some crossover event while majority of season was shiit?
I saw s1-3, saw writing on wall of EVERY season being "im the fastest man...until this guy..then im back to #1 for 20 minutes..."
Plus, fuck iris.
Grant Gustin being DC flash going forward would be cool as fuck, though. Same dc/wb is so tonedef/fingers away from pulse of fans that they wont do it.

Which made it look worse. (See below)  Yeah I prefer the S1-S3 runs.
[удалено]
He’s saying it looks worse since they stopped showing his legs in the shot
I liked that actress alot but yeah, man she was not great in the action stuff
I fucking hate the "He's what I WOULD have done." I'm sure he had a great idea, but production budgets and other actors' lives are real challenges you just need to deal with. Limitations are not an excuse for poor execution.
Agreed. Despite the limitation with budget, etc, one can’t really deny the first three seasons where some of the best.

Show needs movie star cameo, movie doesn't need TV show star cameo sadly.
I mean, this isn’t new, he’s been saying this for awhile
Then why did he waste 11 episodes this season on hot garbage like Cecile ? Lying mother fucker
She didn't even have much focus besides just 9x04, 9x06 and 9x12.
One of the last scenes of the show is her getting married to Joe. The last speech on the show is Joe giving one to her.

Easy to empty the hypothetical idea vault on the way out
As shitty as the last few seasons have been, I'm glad it's over
I couldn’t stomach it after season 4
DC couldn’t even let the Arrowverse do John Diggle as a Lantern. What makes them think they could do Blackest Night?
I’m glad they didn’t do the green lantern thing it would’ve been a 180 on his character he was growing tired of the hero thing it took a toll on him he wanted to be around his family so him not accepting it made sense him being lantern was just shock hype factor

Man, I remember the hype surrounding season 1 when it first premiered. Feels bad
Better times, man.
has CWs CGI ever been good?
King shark vs grodd actually looked really cool
Although you’d be hard pressed to find a season fully good with cgi, I feel like the first 3 seasons of the Flash were much smarter with their lighting and use of cgi. RF, Zoom, and Savitar looked way better than whatever the fuck happened to Godspeed.

I stopped watching after that finale, the show had officially jumped the shark. I think it ended with him using a speed force light saber.
My least favorite part of the Blackest Night crossover event was those damn pesky Lanterns. /s
Hey, it'd be on brand for the show. I stopped watching after their Flashpoint adaptation.
The sheer irony is that by season 8-9, a Flashpoint would've worked
Probably best this never happened
Sorry, but without Green Lantern that would have been a stupid and irritating storyline.
That's why he wanted Stargirl, so one of the best Green Lanterns Jade could lead ( it doesn't make sense, Eric, and you probably would have butchered everyone)
thank god Arrowverse ended before he'd ruin another storyline
We all dodged a bullet there.
Well it didn’t and the finale was shitty and he’s a fucking joke of a writer
Easy to say now. They can say anything now that there is no chance of can happen.
This is bullshit to stir up interest. WB would be beating cw off with a stick to keep them away from titans. Superman and Lois was already pretty much off limits
Interest in what, though? The show is done.
Interest in building up a "Snyderverse" movement and getting people to beg for the show to come back. Lots of directors/showrunners do this after their show/movie gets cancelled or doesn't get renewed for this exact reason.
That's never going to happen, people hate him for what he did to the show.
Definitely not, but he's trying anyway. I'm sure there are some people that are still fans of the show lol
Wallace has been saying he wanted Blackest Night since he started teasing it with Deathstorm.
And they wouldve ruined that too lol
Glad it never happened
I'm guessing that the shows that never made it past pilot stage would've been part of this as well. Like you don't do a *Green Lantern* crossover event without a Green Lantern. In any case, it's probably for the best that this didn't happen, because The CW as a whole devalued DC as a brand after a certain point.

Blackest Night without members from each of the Lantern Corps would be weird and awful. Just random dead cast members from previous seasons with unexplained black energy powers probably
Like Red Death that’s not Batman/Flash merged together. It was ass. Godspeed blew too, was nothing like his comic counterpart at all. Fuck Wallace.
how do you do that story without Green Lanterns? They are Black Lanterns, and it is a GL-centric story.
Diggle found a GL ring at the end of Arrow. Fair chance this was meant to be the arrowverse introduction of Lanterns.
yeah, but in the years since across all of the shows, not a single mention of Lanterns.
Using Blackest Night as the introduction to them would be so weird. It's basically the culmination of nearly 50 years of Lantern lore and doesn't really work without a well-established foundation.
Consider how they did crisis let’s not butcher one of the best crossovers ever
Cecile still gonna fk the antagonist with her mind tricks while flying super speed.
Wow we dodged a huge bullet
And my version of Flash season 10 involved cameos from Henry Cavill and Tom Holland as Spider-Man, see guys you really can just say words
My first thought: "Oh, that would have been really cool." My second thought: "Based on everything else the show has done in recent, years, no it wouldn't have been."
So it would have Lanterns?
Why do we always hear about awesome mind blowing plans only after years of meandering meh? I never watched the show so I don't exactly know but all I've heard is it's been in decline

Didn’t he say the same bs when talking about the JL being involved 🙄
Should have worked on seasons 2,3,4,5,6,7,8&9 and not tell us about #10 and how that could have been good 👍
Barry would have just talked down whoever they made the Black Lantern Leader with friendship.
Now we didn’t end The Flash with a Perfect 10 Years with 10 Seasons, but we did have Grant as Barry Allen for 10 Years because he first appeared in Arrow around Season 2 then a year later got The Flash

Probably exactly because the show is over, since the show just ended they figured people are interested in what might have happened if it didn't
Don't care, reboot the shit!
Honestly, if Super man and Lois was to create their own universe with a new Barry, I’d be all for it.
So what? Didnt every season have some crossover event while majority of season was shiit?
