Would you trade the TV show, with its modest budget and cast, but faithfulness to the comics and source material, for a massive-budget trilogy of movies with a A-list cast, that is however dark and gritty and changes both the tone and the characters' personalities to fit a more realistic setting?
>>78736109
Fuck no
>Barry Allen
>personality
Yeah about that.
>>78736109
>dark and gritty
>more realistic setting
>>78736109
You know what would be better for The Flash. Going away for "muh soap drama" and being 13 episodes in one season. Bigger budget, better focused story, with out losing anything.
>>78736109
why on earth would anyone want that under any circumstances?
I mean, if you like dark and gritty movies, that's great. But you can just make a dark and gritty movie, you don't have to make it an adaptation of something it has nothing in common with.
>>78736109
Fuck no. I'd love a movie with (most of) the Flash cast, though. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
>>78736109
We're getting both anyway.
> but faithfulness to the comics and source material
The show isn't faithful to the comics. For one there would be no Star Labs.
>>78736109
>dark and gritty
>realistic setting
fuck no
>>78736149
he has one, just not one you like.
movie flash is most likely going to be a comedy anyways, just wish Ezra wasn't the star.
>>78736109
>Would you want based show that does 88% of things right
26 episodes x 2 seasons x 20 mins an episode / 60 mins per hour = 17.33 total hours of content
or
>an immersion-breaking cast, an edgy atmosphere, and changing the characters to be boring in the same boring setting you have to face every morning
3 movies x 2 hours each = 6 hours total content
Gee, that's a hard one OP.
no
>>78736109
>faithfulness to the comics
have you ever read a flash comic?
>>78736649
DCEU's main selling point is literally "grittier and more stepped in realism" than Marvel. They'll never have a "comedy".
>>78737233
Have you?
>>78736109
Hell no. I watch the show religiously but as it stands they couldn't pay me to watch the movies.
>>78737317
Have YOU?
>>78737233
>>78737317
>>78737349
HAVE you?
Sweet massive fuck no.
>>78736109
I don't want that at all, let alone in a medium completely unsuited to telling serialized stories. Nolan's Batman trilogy was good, but overrated kids.
>>78736566
Not if embargo rules kick in
whatever ,cw flash is shit anyway
Nope.
>>78736109
I'd rather have Flash with budget of trilogy movies.
>>78737644
Why does Warner does this? Do they really think that people are too retarded to understand that the movie and the series are two different continuities?Of course they do, and they are right.
>>78736109
nope.
look no one with half a brain on /co/ thinks Flash is top tier television that will win dozens of Emmys, but it's at least fun and true to the source and the tone of Flash. and really that's all a comic show needs to be because otherwise we'll get trash like Agents of Shield instead.
>>78737908
My father still asks why Maguire isn't in the new Spiderman movies
He really isn't the target demographic for this shit, but still
>>78737908
Yeah Joe and Jane Popcorn can be pretty stupid sometimes, it just sucks to be a comic fan and loose a good show like the flash for a movie that might possibly be shit
>>78736109
No, why is that a question?
>>78738214
In the other Flash thread someone posted a theory that the reason they are introducing so many new speedsters is that they are going to kill off Barry before the movie comes out and then continue with one of the other Flashes.
>>78738005
Thing is, casuals don't get it, but they also don't care. My girlfriend's dad thought all Batman movies where one continuity and he still watched TDK twice.
>>78738320
That won't happen.
>>78738320
I guess that could work they could bring him back rebirth style if the movie fails, but honestly how many viewers would stick with the show with that type of change?
>>78738530
Well, they still have time to develop Jay and Wally and the supporting cast would stay. Besides, if Barry went out in a COIE-style sacrifice, the sheer Hype Force generated by the event would be enough to keep most people.
>>78736109
As long as its the nigga wally or any of the black flash I'm okay with it.
>>78737257
BOYS
>>78738320
They used the black wally into the TV series so we can have the white red haired one on the movies.
>>78737996
>fun
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. IF YOU WANT FUN, GO WATCH YOUR FUCKING CHILDRENS CARTOONS. SUPER HEROES AREN'T MEANT TO BE FUN.
>>78738742
>Wally
Shoot, I haven't been able to watch it since Ep. 2 of Season 2. When did they bring in Wally?
>>78736596
It's faithful in that the flash jobs to everyone.
>more realistic setting
Fuck no, I love in real life and would like an escape from it for an hour or two, having cape stuff be more realistic makes it far less entertaining.
>>78740617
Mid season finale. He just showed up at the door and was invited in, hasn't been any real development yet.
I will say though that he seemed pretty humble, so hopefully they don't do nu52 stereotype black Wally.
>would you trade more quality content for less worse content featuring people you don't like and obnoxious effects?
>>78740739
no he doesn't.
>>78737672
>>78740578
>People with magical powers in colorful costumes that fight evil
>Not supposed to be fun
Are you from Bizarro world?
>>78736109
No, simply because movies are an inferior medium for superhero-adaptations.
An essential part of the superhero "experience" are the vast number of tales they have.
You cant compress a whole superhero-legacy into 3 movies.
comicbooks > cartoon shows > live-action shows > animated movies > live-action movies > videogames
>>78736109
The show already lost me when they turn Barry gay
>>78743597
>not bein gay for Grant
