Rick Famuyiwa's THE FLASH

Did WB make the right call, Sup Forums?


>Barry Allen continues to protect Central City as The Flash and joins the Central City Police Department as a forensic analyst in order to reinvestigate the murder of his mother, Nora Allen, for which his father, Henry Allen, was wrongfully imprisoned.

>Barry works alongside Detective Fred Chyre and Detective Jared Morillo, who mistrust him at first, and realizes that he can do as much for people as an investigator as he can as a crimefighter. He focuses on the unlawful murder of a black man, through which he meets humanitarian lawyer Iris West, who is working on the case on behalf of the dead man’s family.

>The main villain is Captain Leonard Snart, a rogue ex-military armed with advanced weaponry stolen from the United States government and harboring a vendetta against his former employees. He is aided by his sister, Lisa Snart.

>Barry recruits his friend Victor Stone, also known as “Cyborg”, to help him uncover Snart’s background and the secret weapons development program from which he acquired his cold gun.

>Barry ultimately defeats Snart, finds justice for the dead man and his family, earns Chyre and Morillo’s trust and develops a relationship with Iris.

>Flashbacks detail Barry’s childhood and the events leading up to Nora’s death, featuring Eobard Thawne, the Reverse Flash, as a nightmarish family observing the family from afar, preparing to attack.

>Famuyiwa’s script was very somber and explored controversial social issues, such as racial profiling and police corruption. It was written back when WB was certain that a darker and edgier to their characters would be successful. When BATMAN V SUPERMAN underperformed, they changed their plans, and ordered Famuyiwa to perform substantial rewrites to tone down the script. They were unable to reach a compromise and Famuyiwa was fired, whereupon the project was retooled into FLASHPOINT.

No and they never will. Give the rights to Disney.

You’re a retard, Ladderbro

>The movie focus on the wrongful murder of a black dude and a black lawyer fighting for justice, social issues, racial profiling, cops are bad. Also, the Flash is there btw
>Gratuitous Cyborg
It seems like the director was trying to force a square peg into a round hole here.

Black Panther outgrossed fucking Justice League. Only Disney knows what they’re doing.

and then we got black panther and this might have actually been a good movie

>The best marvel movie in a decade makes a lot of money
wonder why...

And Wonder Woman 1 outgrossed Cpt A,Hulk,Thor,Guardians of the galaxy,Dr,Strange and Ant Man first movies

They made 750 millions with a team of D list supervillians without China

BARK BARK BARK

...

Did black Twitter somehow miss the part where Wakanda is only powerful because a fictitious giant, borderline magic space rock happened to hit Africa?

You know that Africa is filled with riches like oil and diamonds right? They got far more resources than Europe and Asia

...

And they never figured what to do with it. And now China is mining it all.
Don’t forget about the intelligence inhancing plants.

>lumping in Cyborg in a Flash movie to keep him relevant
Dropped.

Yeah, so is South America, but when Europeans got here it was just a bunch of savages sitting around and wiping their asses with leaves.

Source?

>Cyborg designs are always so shitty that the one made by goddamn NRS is decent by comparison
wew

The fuck do you think people wiped their asses with in 1500s Europe?
The single reason Spain conquered so much was that there was no gunpowder tech in America at the time.

WB NEVER makes the right call

What is wrong with this list?

...

Ready Player One might be good. It's a great book.

You mean other than everything?

...

There is nothing wrong at all, Disney is doing a bunch of remakes and seguels that one one want like the Lion king and Mary Poppins returns.

>Black kid is deprived of getting his mom's hard earned money to feed Disney's commercialism
Yeah, fuck the artist who made this. How about a black kid and a white kid just playing together, both appreciating Black Panther?

...

White kids can give money to Disney. They just can’t dress up as Black Panther. That’s literally like blackface.

If they make a blockbuster gay or trans superhero movie, this board will drown in the shitposting

making "The Flash" movie like this, is exactly the wrong decision WB/DC made way back when, with pic related, all the kids knew Mr Freeze from the cartoons and saw some weird ass depiction of it that was way off.

most people today know Flash from the CW series, they could have easily made something cheaper and better recognized if they cobbled together a CW film adaption for the theatres, added enough special effects to keep the Chinese market happy.

no matter what they do, the Flash movie is going to be trash, because they refuse to learn from previous mistakes, maybe they just want to make movies as a money laundering scheme at this point, i don't anymore.

I actually liked this Mr Freeze i don't think any WB/DC film will have this much charm ever again

Yes but the difference is Disney has plenty of GOOD stuff as well

That list is every WB movie and it's JUST for this year alone

Weak bait, but I'll bite. It's really not. The character was made by 2 white guys, and originates from a fictional region of Africa. People keep saying they want racism to end, and yet they keep segregating themselves by saying what kid is allowed to like what hero

Fantastic Beasts is good though

That white kid is dressed like a Black Panther the acyivism group, not the superhero.

White kids cant dress as black people. Black people aren’t costumes for whites to dress up as. There is no argument here.

>Yes but the difference is Disney has plenty of GOOD stuff as well
Such as?

...

He's not dressing up as a black person, he's dressing up as a superhero mantle that is used by a black person.

>posterity for me but not for thee

Yeah, way better than harry potter main movies

The Last Jedi
Black Panther
A Wrinkle in Time
Solo
*mic drop*

This actually looks like a silver age Superman cover.

White kids cant dress up as black characters either. For one, it’s appropriating/stealing black characters and white-washing them. Which is racist. It’s also just creepy and cringy, like a white weeb dressing up as a ninja.

...

...

Then black kids aren't allowed to dress as Captain America, Thor, or Iron Man. Thanks asshole, you just ruined a kids Halloween with your own hidden racism.

>Barry Allen continues to protect Central City as The Flash and joins the Central City Police Department as a forensic analyst
Wait, so how the fuck did Barry get his powers then? Was he legitimately just "struck by lightning" like he said in JL. At least the chemicals gave us some leverage towards him being connected to the speedforce, but now are we supposed to just accept that any old fucker who gets struck by lightning can develop superpowers?
>>Barry recruits his friend Victor Stone, also known as “Cyborg”, to help him uncover Snart’s background and the secret weapons development program from which he acquired his cold gun.
Why do the have to keep forcing cyborg into roles he's not accustomed to just fro the sake of keeping him there. Can' wait to see him stick some more robotentacles into a computer and deliver an exposition dump, because their no way a character who's traditionally a FORENSIC ANALYST cam figure out something by himself.

>Theocratic despot of a closed borders ethnostate kills an illegal alien

this image is powerful, this is why we need Dr Dooms moon canon, to rid the world of this evil.

>"Black Panther" is the first blockbuster-format release featuring a Black Panther front and center

That’s different and you know it.

Black Kids dressing up as white characters is punching up.

White kids dressing up as black characters is punching down.

Know the difference.

fuck off pol you astroturfing cunts

...

Cyborg is like DC's Hulk; doomed to be supporting role. Only the difference is Hulk can't get a solo thanks to a rights issue, and Vic doesn't get one because Cyborg has no material to pull from.
(You)

this, this this!
we need less black characters and more white characters

we can't sell merchandise with black characters, such a small percentage will only be able to use the products, white characters are loved by all, while not everyone is allowed to love black characters.

it's a win having only white characters, and a loss having black ones, i agree 100% with this user.

You can let your white kid buy Black Panther merchandise. Just don’t dress him up as a black person. Is that so hard to do?

I wished WB/DC weren't such clods and had done all this other garbage before a Teen Titans project, why even put Cyborg in the awful Justice Leauge movie, now they can't use him anymore.

Kids don't see race, unlike your racist ass

Ok, I'll dress him like White Tiger then. Fuck panthers anyway.

White Tiger is black, user.

Black Panther, Infinity War, Ant Man and Wasp, Wreck it Ralph 2, Incredibles 2 and yeah probably Solo. A Wrinkle in Time, and Mary Poppins Returns too

But nobody will notice because the character is white, they're too busy with Black Panther to care

no, you can't.
if you have your kid buy BP merchandise and sully it in any way, it's disrespecting black people. (BP) it's not worth risking, and what if their friends come over and see that they have BP toys? they might get offended, no.

we better play it safe user, you are correct in your first post

Teaching kids to dress up like black people/characters is a bad idea. It normalizes blackface.

We talking about the Marvel, female character, or the Dexter's Lab/Justice Friends White Tiger?

Still racist.

Marvel

Who cares, the world's going to shit either way

The Dexter's Lab White Tiger is more fun though

You should try being less racist, user. Y’know, make yourself a better person. Like Black Panther or Captain America.

the difference here is, if you're black your kid can purchase CA merchandise, talk about Captain America, dress up like captain america and do all things surrounding it

if you have a white child, BP is a no-go

if i were Marvel, i would limit the amount of Black Characters as much as possible

I think Marvel should increase the number of black characters. Replace all the Avengers with black superheroes and make Black Panther the leader.

>WE WUZ WAKANDA
Normies thinking Wakanda is the shit,little they know about the great Latveria and its based ruler.

Doesn't sound bad, actually.

Ernest, please.

Well, this thread took a turn.

>Wait, so how the fuck did Barry get his powers then?

They're apparently borrowing elements from Jay Garrick's origin: He was struck by lightning while in a college lab.

>their no way a character who's traditionally a FORENSIC ANALYST cam figure out something by himself.

DCEU Barry is a novice and only got his gig due to nepotism, though.
