The Flash (CW)

[King of GA]

man this episode was low key racist stereotypes and discrimination abound

They done had all kinds of white criminals...they show a black one and now they racist and stereotyping?

 

[Splackavelli]

That's not king shark that's killer shark or something like that he's also one of green lanterns enemies. This show is fire!!

 

[Broddie]

You're wrong. Killer Shark was a villain for one of DCs war teams (The Blackhawks) and he was a pirate with enhancements and not an actual shark man. There is only one antropomorphic shark villain in the DC villain stable and that's King Shark.

Well I have green lantern #2written by Geoff Johns and in this issue hal was up against some alien German speaking gremlin beings wh captured Hector Hammond for experiments. They had some humanoid shark man working for them he was very dumb and had a desire to eat brains I have to check back to see what his name was. I only say this because the king shark I compare this flash episode to is the king shark from the assault on arkham movie.

 

[Broddie]

King Shark from Assault on Arkham is just that...King Shark from Assault on Arkham. It's an adaptation. It's not the canon (that would be the comic books).

I've been reading DC for almost 30 years bro believe me when I tell ya I'm a walking DC encyclopedia by this point lol. For over 15 years King Shark resembled a Great White and looked exactly as we saw on The Flash right before & during Flashpoint. Trust. That was King Shark.

im not even talking about that. the dialogue about the ex football player not amounting to anything so thats why he wasnt qualified to be a hero

 

[Broddie]

^ You're looking way too deep into that. In the comic books that is Ronnie Raymond's storyline. A white guy. Since the show made him a scientist they didn't give the show's Ronnie that story and adapted it for an all new character instead. People can't get mad about diversity and all that shit then when it's given complain about semantics. Ya want to see equal opportunity or not?

They actually did a black villian in season 1 ..The teleporter meta human that looked like Elle Varner.

and now we got Franchine being a crack addict and the piss off phd black scientist

But I guess they gotta balance it out now since we have Joe,Iris,Hawkgirl,the black dude that took Ronnie's place,Diggle whenever they do crossover episodes with the Arrow,and soon to be Wally West

 

[Broddie]

Is a black woman hooked on crillz back in '95 unrealistic though?

I certainly remember seeing that in my the hood I grew up in (172st on audubon ave). Shit often their families were friends of my family. One of my best friends on my block growing up had a mama hooked on crack and she was Black.

There's good and bad everywhere. I look at the flipside. They got Joe a positive and upstanding single Black man being a tremendous father and an outstanding cop every week. On mainstream TV. Not no TV One, BET or any of that lower tier Viacom bullshit.That is a great look IMO. Also at least these DC adaptations give black folks more equal roles.

Like they literally would recast a white role in the comics (Henry Hewitt from last night's show for example, Candace as Iris or Fresh Prince as Deadshot) with a black actor who could probably play the part better than a white man/woman and truer to it's form. To me that is good balance like blaze up there said. They don't just be highlighting negatives and they really go for the best people for the role. Hence Jesse as Joe and Candace as Iris to Grant's Barry.

that was ronnies origin? i'm not familiar with firestorm outside of the superfriends cartoon i didn't know he was a football player. i thought he was just a punk screw up high school kid that merged with professor stein through an experiment gone wrong. i like this jason dude as firestorm i need to read up on him. they should show more aspects of fire storms powers besides fire. he is called the nuclear hero for a reason he also has the ability to alter the structre of inanimate objects on a molecular level. y'all armchair civil rights activist need to chill with that shit last night episode was fire.

Ronnie was a high school athlete who tried to do the right thing and ended up having his life changed for it. The new Jefferson kid (that's not Jason Rusch) is an original creation for the show. Jason has already previously appeared on the The Flash.

Wallace mother being an ex crackhead is to fit into his origins of being a thief and Barry taking him under his wing and finding out the flash identity. The angry scientist, I don't know about.
