I hope they make his costume red in season 3.

Casual here.
Why the fuck is Jay Garrick actually Hunter Zoloman? This was never true in the comics was it?

>Why the fuck is Jay Garrick actually Hunter Zoloman?

He wasn't. Did you watch the show?

Hunter Zolomon was never Jay Garrick, he was just pretending to be when he got bored of being Zoom. Jay Garrick was locked up in Hunter's sex dungeon.

I'm not caught up yet.

well keep watching

Mach represents how fast something is compared to the speed of sound.

At 50 times the speed of sound, you'll be hitting the air so hard, you'll be vaporized like a meteor hitting the atmosphere.

For comparison, the space shuttle hits the atmosphere on reentry at mach 25.

You need to get faster.

speed force negates that sort of friction though so it seems like it's more a matter of using a different unit than mach 50 literally not existing

Spoilers then if you don't mind. I'll black it in case you do: Jay Garrick is the Man in the Iron Mask, Flash of Earth-3 and also John Wesley Shipp. Zoom accidentally found himself in Earth-3 which is how he learned about the multiverse and was ready to exploit it when Thawne's device fucked up at the end of season 1.

So that's why Caitlin was there.

Hunter needed a dom.

>speed force negates that sort of friction

Not in the show, though. You'll recall from the final battle that the time remnant Barry ran so fast, even with speed force negating some friction, that he ended up vaporized.

My God he looks adorable.

That wasn't from friction.

Is Grant for sexual?

I hope so

>they add a red filter
>Flash becomes The Blur

Then I have good news for you user.

Guys so I'm left behind and didn't caught up. Last time I left during that green arrow flash crossover, didn't like it.

What episode should I continue off? Hearing shit got good.

You watch it in order, you dumbfuck.

Mach 1 is the speed of sound. Each mach after that is one more unit, each unit being the speed of sound. So Mach 50 is the 50x the speed of sound, approx. 38363.5mph. We can't go that fast, but it is most certainly a thing.

Just watch it all.

The Flash is the only good Arrowverse show. Encourage them to make more shows like the Flash. Discourage them from making more shows like Arrow.

I just finished the season finale
what the fuck was barry thinking? why did he go back and save his mom? what the fuck is going to happen once Zoom from earlier in Earth-2' s timeline starts bringing people over? does he realize he's just fucked over central city?

>Talks about 'absolute hot' like it's a practical thing that could totally exist on earth made by humans.

>Mach 50 isn't real

Fuck off Barry.

uhh well both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are going faster than that (and probably still accelerating) by some considerable way and so in fact are we - "mach 50" is slower than the speed at which we swing around the sun

however he's technically correct to say it isn't a thing because only people who measure distance in swimming pools and football fields would ever try and use mach 50 as a speed, since it provides no useful frame of reference and is unintentionally oblique

>absolute hot

I'm so glad all these CW shows are on a finite lifetime, that is absolutely fucking appalling

>CW shows
>finite lifetime

Supernatural is still going strong

Flash has the problem of Barry having good intentions but doing the most retardedly stupid things

He's blaming himself for his parents' death and trying to undo every bad thing that he feels has happened because he's the Flash.

And without him, the singularity will never be created, so a breach will never be opened to Earth-2 and Zoom will never find Earth-1 or, even if he does, have no reason to target it since there's no Flash to steal speed from.

>Earth-2 is more like traditional Earth-3 with alignment swap
I had to gut through that whole concept

>"mach 50" is slower than the speed at which we swing around the sun
It's actually about half the speed of earth's orbit. We're going about 67,000mph, which would be about Mach 96.

I always thought Earth 3 swapped everyone's moral alignment. CW E2 had a "flash" who was really zoom, and Snart was the mayor, but non-powered people like E2 Barry and Iris were still good folk.

You've got to remember, the numbering is all relative.

They just happened to discover what's normally Earth-3 first, so it's called Earth-2 instead

In the comics, Crime Syndicate are from Earth-3. However CW probably thought it would throw off the casuals. So they made a decision to make it into Earth-2, and have Earth-3 be Earth-2 Comicbook wise.

>Talks about 'absolute hot' like it's a practical thing that could totally exist on earth made by humans.
It's coming out in 4 days, senpai

hm?

That doesn't make mach 50 nonexistent. Barry said it, as a concept, isn't real, not that he couldn't do it

Just watch it, I'm not gonna claim every episode is great, but is not a bad season and the final episode is awesome.

yea wasnt from friction he just ran so fast he disintegrated

he felt like he lost

he betrays the timeline and destroys it

> Speed in space
In reference to?
IN REFERENCE TO!?

Legends of Tomorrow is underrated. It needs support. They need a pat on the back for trying at least.

>there are infinite universes
>earth 1 is in the center
What did they mean by this?

source?
there are infinite universes but finite earths.
also harrison wells said "you realize this is my earth-2 right?"

>source?
The last episode? I hope it gets cleared up later because zoom's entire "destroy multiverse" plan triggers my autism. Then again so do time remnants

Zoom was basically improvised horribly throughout the series.

Time remnants mostly make sense though. A time remnant is made when a speedster goes back in time, and then does something to prevent him from doing so. In our case, that's the point of those scenes with Zoom and Flash looking at their remnants.

We never saw Flash make his remnant. That's because he decides not to after seeing it, creating a paradox. The remnant comes from a timeline that no longer exists, which is why he attracts the ghosts.

I've started it. I'll admit it seems better than Arrow, but not as good as The Flash.

>>Mach 50 isn't a real thing

Mach 50 isn't a real thing yet.

The fastest any manmade object has ever entered the atmosphere was the Stardust probe in 2006, just edging out the Apollo moon mission capsules.

It hit the atmosphere at 28,000 mph, or roughly Mach 36.

So, really goddamn fast. As a note: The re-entry profile of that Stardust capsule was BRUTAL, it went from Mach36 to subsonic in less than two minutes.

Maybe "Mach 50 isn't a thing" just means "it isn't something people say." By the time you get up to "Mach 50" you're probably talking in other units.

It was just Joe being hyperbolic and Barry fucking with him too. Neither line is meant to be taken seriously.

Who is supposed to be faster? CW Barry or Tomari Shinnosuke?

Pleb who don't read comic here, is Jay faster than Barry?
I followed Flash S1 and S2 and I had seen Flashpoint some time before Flash S1 started airing, but that's pretty much all I saw about Flash.

Jay is not faster than Barry.

No one is faster than Barry. Barry spent 23 years out running death.

...

Jay is just the original Flash?

Why does the number start with "0,"

Europeans

But the rest are periods

Still. "Europeans." Come on, user.

It'll probably be taken seriously in season 3. Flash's feats are beyond stupid

Except Mach 50 still isn't fast enough to reach relativistic speeds.

For reference 1% of lightspeed is Mach 8,000.

>Flash
>Good

Pretty much.

He became part of the speed force?

Dumbass. Yurocucks swap periods and commas in numbers. So
>a million and one third
USA: 1,000,000.333
EUR: 1.000.000,333

>earth 3
>"b...but CW shows are totally the most true to the comics"
>meanwhile Gotham exists

what about that isnt true to no comics? all they did was switch around the pre-crisis planet numbering

>both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are going faster than that
I mean, velocity is relative (t. Einstein), so talking about the velocity of bodies/spacecraft in absolute terms is a bit silly. Similarly, the earth is moving at greater than mach 50 (much greater) relative to any one of billions of objects in the galaxy.

do we have an idea of who next season's villain is going to be?

Yeah that was weird. Deadshot, Singh, and to some extent Joe all got flipped too, but Barry and Iris were still nice people. Maybe that means they're actually evil on Earth-1?

Aside from Grant saying it's not going to be a metahuman, nope.

cicada

Dr. Manhattan. Already was used in a movie years ago so he can't be embargoed for another movie.

>Zoom was basically improvised horribly throughout the series.

Really? I passively watched the threads on Sup Forums as the show ran cus I didn't have time to watch and you guys made it seem this way. Maybe it's part in knowing all the spoilers, but now I've had time to watch it and nothing really feels out of left field.

You can even see "Jay" somewhat distracted when they're talking about "The Turtle", as if it worries him, and when Caitlyn asks what's wrong he comes up with some BS about "I just can't stand not being able to help people".

As soon as they're trying to lure Zoom out he says it's dangerous and fucks off, just enough for Zoom to appear for the first time.

Even the Remnants come in early, from the Reverse-Flash episode.

The only thing that's felt off is Harrison mentioning how everyone on Earth-2 would know Hunter Zolomon at a glance....yet no one on Earth-2 noticed Jay Garrick was him. And what's worse is this comment is made a few episodes AFTER we learn Jay is hunter.

>It doesn't matter if it was me or not Barry.

Can someone tell me if these characters get killed off/written out at some point?

I couldn't make it past episode 3 because every scene where these two chucklefucks spout technobabble and crack unfunny jokes makes me want to spoon my own eyes out.

It's Barry

Well they did Eobard Thawne for S1, and they did Hunter Zoloman for S2....So S3 would be the third Reverse-Flash, Daniel West, who could now exist in this new timeline Barry's created.

>everyone on Earth-2 would know Hunter Zolomon at a glance

Yeah, when he was rocking the Manson beard, you'd be surprised what a shave can do when it comes to making someone unrecognizable.

Cisco is the fourth best character on the show, nigger.

In retrospect the moustache was a good choice.

>not going to be a metahuman
I really like this trope, desu. Like, I like the idea of a non-powered villain still being a threat to a superpowered hero. It's especially cool if the villain isn't rich, like Lex, but is a threat because he's just super clever, uses traps, or is very skilled martially.

Not true for the UK at least. We don't even really use commas anymore, its annoying when my lecturer uses a period, makes the number 345.234 look 1000 times bigger than it actually is

Are you Implying "Gotham" is true to the comics

>I want my flash to be edgy and DAAAAARK and work alone because he's DAAAARK

Flash is an inherently funny character.

Those two characters are so unfunny it induces suicide.

Attempt at comedy =/= Successful comedy.

Yeah, down southern Europe we use spaces and commas:

1 000 000,00 is a million.

Also, 1 000 000 000,00 is a thousand million. 1 000 000 000 000,00 is a billion.

Get your shit together, English speakers.

personal opinion, user. I like them. And cisco is a fun way to actually give the rogues their names

A thousand million and a billion are the same thing in English.

>Also, 1 000 000 000,00 is a thousand million. 1 000 000 000 000,00 is a billion.
>Get your shit together, English speakers.

But that's fucking wrong.

It's a matter of short or long scale:
In English, and ONLY in English, you go by powers of 1000 (short scale):

1 0000 = one
1 0001 = one thousand
1 0002 = one million
1 0003 = one billion
1 0004 = one trillion

Notice how the prefixes do not match the powers of the base (1 000)

Everyone else does it with millions instead (aka the long scale):

1 000 0000 = one
1 000 0001 = one million
1 000 0002 = one billion
1 000 0003 = one trillion

And so on. Notice how the prefixes match the powers of the base, which makes it superior.

It's mildly infuriating to convert in translations.

oh look, it deformated the exponentials.

I meant:

It's a matter of short or long scale:
In English, and ONLY in English, you go by powers of 1000 (short scale):

1 000^0 = one
1 000^1 = one thousand
1 000^2 = one million
1 000^3 = one billion
1 000^4 = one trillion

Notice how the prefixes do not match the powers of the base (1 000)

Everyone else does it with millions instead (aka the long scale):

1 000 000^0 = one
1 000 000^1 = one million
1 000 000^2 = one billion
1 000 000^3 = one trillion

And so on. Notice how the prefixes match the powers of the base, which makes it superior.

It's mildly infuriating to convert in translations.

True fact: Nothing in the universe can actually go at mach 50. Once you get past mach 49, you just skip straight to mach 51, with no increments in-between.

If you don't believe me, try going at mach 50 and see for yourself.

Kek

>try going at mach 50 and see for yourself.

I mean, you still translated wrong. Anyway, your system is infuriating too, because you have to insert a -iard, after every other power of 1000 (or at least you do in German, maybe not where you are), which is more confusing. If you just say 1000 million then it's fine, but not much more simple than the English system.

They switched around E2 and 3 to fuck with fans.

>Mach 50
I'm surprised it wasn't mach 52

yeah we don't use -iard.

what did I mis-translate, though?

Well, you described a trillion as a billion. It may be stupid, but it was still a legitimate mistake.

Oh, in my original post? I was being facetious and forcing the direct work translation upon you all.
