FLASH SEASON 3 EPISODE 1 REVIEW MOVIE

Of course, over time, Wally became one of the single most important characters in the entire DC Universe, and one of the first sidekicks in history to graduate from sidekick to taking over the actual mantle of his mentor. At first he wore an identical red version of BarryвЂ™s suit, which made the two of them look kind of ridiculous when hanging out together, but he eventually got his much cooler yellow suit.

The comics wasted no time between Wally WestвЂ™s introduction and his transformation into speedster kid sidekick. вЂ“ Kid Flash, as if you didnвЂ™t know, first appeared in The Flash #110 in 1959. IвЂ™ll be honest, the showвЂ™s version is better. I am certain that any doubters will be converted by his performance in вЂњFlashpointвЂќ and the implications of his presence going forward (heвЂ™s going to be a regular presence on Legends of Tomorrow this year, too). I wasnвЂ™t taking anything away from the brilliant Tom Cavanagh (IвЂ™m still not), but Cavanagh was Thawne-in-disguise, while Letscher is playing a purer version of the character, one who has a history with Barry that we have yet to even see or understand. Last year, I took the controversial position that Matt LetscherвЂ™s Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash had the potential to become the definitive version of the character. ButВ it says so much about this cast and the solid foundations the show has built that they settle so comfortably into these new dynamics and it all feels completely believable and natural. Is it possible that I just missed these characters and this world, and thatвЂ™s coloring my perception? Maybe. As weвЂ™ve seen in the trailers, BarryвЂ™s relationships with Iris, Joe, and Cisco have changed dramatically (and yes, Cisco is in a very different place than he is in вЂњourвЂќ timeline), none of it is an excuse to go off the rails. While in the comics, BarryвЂ™s actions rewrote the whole world with some bizarre and disastrous consequences, here, things are far more subtle, and the focus stays on the people who bring us back week after week. The comic book version of вЂњFlashpointвЂќ was needlessly dark, and was so interested in showing off a DC Universe gone wild that a lot of the impact of BarryвЂ™s actual emotional story was lost. HereвЂ™s a quick Flash Fact (well, itвЂ™s a Mike Fact, but whatever) for you: I never particularly cared for the comic story that this is loosely based on.

In particular, I questioned the wisdom of going to the вЂњFlashpointвЂќ well relatively early in the seriesвЂ™ history, and I worried that they were quickly going to dig another hole, with more gimmick-y alternate universe/timeline versions of familiar characters and situations. While everything (mostly) worked out by the season finale, you might also remember that I was ambivalent about BarryвЂ™s decision to alter the past and save his mother. It got old, and it didnвЂ™t leave enough room for the kind of smart sci-fi that this show is often capable of. I found it uneven, and a number of the twists felt contrived, particularly how Earth 2 simply became an excuse to get everyone to essentially be the goatee-wearing mirror universe eeeevil versions of themselves. If youвЂ™re a regular reader of my Flash-centric ramblings, youвЂ™ll know that I wasnвЂ™t particularly in love with The Flash season two. Finally when he beats Savitar multiple speedforce portals open and Barry leaves the team to go in them.This The Flash review contains spoilers, but only down at the bottom in the Flash Facts section! The Flash Season 3 Episode 1 So Barry keeps knowing about the future where Savitar kills Iris and he isn't able to run fast enough to save her. So this time the bad guy is Savitar who, just like Zoom, wants to kill all the speedsters out there. Now Cisco is suddenly very snobby all the time and he wastes a lot of runtime crying about Dante, until a crossover episode of Legends of Tomorrow where he finally makes the same mistake and decides to forgive Flash who was going to sacrifice himself because it's a rule that the character who has been wronged for so long will decide to leave just before everyone learns it's not his fault. Because of this John had a son instead of a daughter, everyone was upset from their interpersonal conflicts (read keeping secrets from each other) and Cisco's brother Dante had died.

Barry travelled back in time to create The Flashpoint Paradox (no, it's nothing even close to being as good as the graphic novel or the animated movie was). Season 3 is where things started getting a lot more annoying.
