THE FLASH (2023) Review & Reaction!

[@jaqhil91]

Y’all got Hector and Coy together. I love it.

[@reydelcastillo17]

Two of the most insightful commentators out there!

[@keldalaney]

I know, right?!!! I don’t normally watch Break Room, but when I clicked and saw Hector, Coy, and Brandon (sorry-I don’t know the other woman), I did a little happy dance in my head.

[@GregMcCoyUSC]

Great to see Coy and Hector in on these reviews. Literally 2 of the guys I specifically look for when they review superhero movies and content. And you can see why, they both have different views of the content but grounded in deep knowledge of the comics, and they can tell you that they enjoyed something but at the same time tell you where it falls short for them. I haven't seen Gina on anything before this, she brought a lot to the table and I'm definitely looking forward to more of her on the channel.

[@bizzybrown8372]

Coy is multiversal . He’s the only KZbin character who can cross into any Tubeverse.

Hector and Coy have to be two of my favorite personalities on KZbin ❤

[@keldalaney]

Absolutely! They both know their stuff, are overall positive in their reactions, and their love for the material shines. ( I just watched Coy watch Superman The Movie for the first time. I got to relive my childhood while watching his fantastic and often educational reactions!)

[@BaithNa]

Its always great to see Hector on the show and he made a great point about the message of this movie. Literally every other time travel and multiverse movie has the opposite message of the Flash's "don't try to change the world for the better because you'll only make things worse"

[@aranisen4101]

Hector and Coy together 😭🔥🎉...Now i just wanna them with Voss in a geeky needy film discussion and then i can die in peace ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Owens777]

Omg didn't know I needed that. Chaos neutral and good and at once 😂

[@deborahjanes3706]

Gina looking directly at the camera makes you feel like you are in the room with them instead of feeling like you are just part of an audience in a theatre is something we need more of... as well as her fresh energy 😌

[@Pixelkip]

I concur 😊🪭

[@mydreaminorbit9297]

I agree with Hector 100% on Barry's characterization. As someone who grew up with the animated Justice League Flash, I'm very disappointed. This Barry doesn't have to be cool, stylish, or funny, just not overly annoying. The one thing I cant stand. In terms of the lesson about changing the past. I dont have a problem with that. The fabric of time is a delicate tapestry. You have to move forward or keep running in circles.

[@hamhockbeans]

Synder made Barry Wally West.

[@pandamystery5990]

I so fully loved what Gina and coy said about the message of the movie. One don't hold on too long and the other being maybe not everything can be changes but some things can be, and that matters more than anything.

[@jebperkins9944]

although most of hector’s opinions were less favorable than the others i like that he was able to back it up with strong arguments (with specific examples) as to why he felt the way he did. great seeing him on the panel for the discussion. also i agreed with about everything he said haha

[@hectorminator]

Thanks Jeb!

[@Bhint320610]

Same!!

[@keldalaney]

He is always so positive on Heroes Reforged, which is one of the reasons I watch it. But here, Hector’s score was the lowest. I love that he set expectations for his opinion, contextualized it, talked through his points explaining why he didn’t like something, while also pointing out positive things that he did like. He expressed valid points without any toxic anger getting involved!

[@hectorminator]

@@keldalaney this comments means a lot to me, thank you sincerely! You’ve made my day. = )

[@FEARNoMore]

Except for Hector's "belt defense" lol Nothing is more ridiculous on a superhero's unitard, than a useless, decorative "belt" hahaha Batman's belt iis functional but a belt on a Kryptonian or a man that hit's the speed of light is not only useless but just pure nostalgia.

[@Owens777]

Hector, you never have to apologize for publicly working thru passionate views that conflict with real world contradictions

[@MrJackfaire]

THANK YOU HECTOR!! My major comic reading was post-crisis to early 2000s before I kind of lost touch with DC but somethings that Flashpoint spit on was that people had change The Flash's history before and The Flashes were always able to restore the proper history without it massively breaking the timeline. Flashpoint Paradox as the way it broke Flash Time Travel always bugged me. It was the first time that restoring the timeline to the way it should be would break said timeline and lead to the New 52. I'm probably one of the few that liked it being retconned that it wasn't him who screwed it all up.

[@user-ub1zx7lw3z]

I am lower than Hector…I’ll leave it at that…

[@ThisIntrovertLife]

Hector hit the nail on the head!!! The Flash is literally the anti-Spiderverse movie and directly contradicts everything it was trying to get across with its ending. The movie stress letting go and not changing the past which he still does in the end, so what was the point?!? Lol.

[@MJ_3192]

Just got out of my showing of Flash, and immediately turned this on when I got home. Hands down one of the best panels we’ve had on the Breakroom!!

[@crashingcoyote]

Coy is our comic encyclopedia

[@CoyJandreau]

Gotchu!

[@rick74]

I did like alot how they brought in the showing of Superman Christopher Reeve of course. But also LOVED how they showed Helen Slater's Supergirl.

[@DBMartialArts]

Coy nails it.

[@SageTheChosen]

Holy shit Hector and Coy in the same room togther?? At the same time!??? My two favorite spider boys on youtube colabing?! Has this ever happened before? I need to watch whatever it was lol.

[@J.O.R.D]

The visual representation of the phasing was on point, the use of the speed force was veryyyy on point, that was one of the strengths!

[@Keliiyamashita]

Hector looks like a dad without being one. We getting old fam!😂

That guy with the glasses, is crazy, is a movie, why hate, the people work hard on this movie, appreciate that, oh man, everyone criticize movies shows this days, don't appreciate the work creator's build & witters, actor's etc...

[@rikardandersson5582]

Yet the movie itself is hateful towards Cavill and MoS with its obvious jabs, nice try, consoomer

[@ianzamora8660]

OMG, Coy and Hector, my favorite people to talk about comics!! love them

[@shaniquapringle636]

I completely agree with Hector. I appreciate his honesty.

[@reflectionist]

33:14 - Hold up. Did Coy just forget that Barry had to rewind time to ctrl+z an apocalyptic explosion in ZS JL? (Not a Snyder apologist, personally... but in the soundtrack, the music that plays during that scene is called "At The Speed Of Force".) It was a pretty good scene, and people didn't really expect it.

[@kamsolusar8529]

I agree with Hector for the most part. I'm also glad that he addressed the elephant in the rooom regarding Ezra Miller's abusive behaviors. I thought the same thing when the line about mental health was brought up. I watched the movie for Keaton because he my definitive Bruce Wayne/Batman. Surreal to see him back. I loved the cameos too, including the last one with Clooney haha. But I think the characterization with Barry was off, and I wish Supergirl and Keaton's Batman had different fates. I really hope they keep Sasha Calle as the character in the DCU. I loved the Supergirl show on CW and I think she's far more interesting of a character to me than Superman (as much as I love Superman).

[@hectorminator]

“Guy on the left” here: despite what the thumbnail might make it look like (lol), I promise I did not enjoy not loving this movie. And I’m glad so many people are loving it! I hope it stays meaningful to them for the rest of their lives. ❤️⚡️👍🏽

Coy had JUST seen Superman the Movie..!! So, that's a big point to Hector already. 😄

[@rja8907]

@@isuriadireja91 I love Coy but sometimes I think hes always in the room where theres not someone who has as much or more knowledge than him and that kinda turns me off to watching vids with him in it but love the watch alongs hes in

[@joghaella9500]

I love Hector's takes. I actually enjoyed the movie more than him, but I really appreciate the detailed analysis. Love the conversation! Thank you for the great episode.

[@thevegetableaddict4625]

Time travels movies are very difficult to pull off. They did a good job, but it’s almost like a family friendly Rick and Morty. He technically went back in time but to a different universe in a way. At the end of the movie we see George Clooney. That means that’s a different earth all together

[@BaithNa]

I found 3 big flaws with the Flash 1. Why did Bruce bring an untrained, unarmed and depowered Barry to a Russian military base? Even in the Flashpoint book and animated movie, Bruce and Barry try to get Barry his powers back before looking for Kal. 2. Why did the Barry's and Bruce think that Kara could beat Zod one on one when she had at least a day less exposure to the Earths sun and no military training, as far as they know. Sending her in alone was a death sentence and they illustrated that in the movie several times. 3. When Barry accepted that his mother needed to die, why didn't he try to find out who the killer was or find evidence to prove his father's innocence? Moving the cans has more of an effect on the timeline than finding evidence or taking a photo/video of the murderer or even finding a witness.

[@thedefinitionisthis]

I really felt that him moving the cans completely undermines the lesson he learns about having to affect certain things.

[@eltonarthur1233]

As a director, the hardest parts of directing, is deciding in the edit(ing room) how much time you give to everything, every actor, scene and how you balance the tone of your film, the balancing the genre tone of your movie. Directors direct tone and action as well as the actors and overseeing and guiding all the elements of filmmaking.

[@rachit1042]

What a great comparison between Barry and Joey! Hector Navarro is what I seek when I want a review. Coy is no doubt very knowledgeable in comic books and stuff but he is only clearly talking about the principles that a better movie could have displayed. Flash did not! Also, Hector looking at the camera like "these idiots!"😂

[@kquiteno]

More Gina!!! She is hilarious and so energetic 🤣🤣

[@evansotelo]

[@SpideySensei72]

I would watch this show every day if Gina and Coy were on the panel, love seeing them and hearing their perspectives on the culture.

[@floydrogers4921]

What I enjoyed so much about this film is it showed how powerful and how strong superman really is. I mean 2 flashes one Batman and a supergirl couldn’t stop what Superman did

[@Dude-oh8vq]

3/4 ranking from me, simply because I appreciated how well made it was, found most of the CGI actually fine (I normally hate too much CGI...), found some of it heartfelt, and loved every moment with Keaton/Batman. That's being a little generous though, because it's summer and I'm happy to get out and see Keaton again. There were a ton of annoying uses of music that bothered me, not to mention younger Barry being far too hyper and annoying, and the film having too much dumb humor for my taste. I don't really see myself re-watching most of the Flash moments (Liked the phasing moments and opening action sequence), but will definitely re-watch the Batman moments, even when I buy the dvd. Keaton's return was worth the price of admission and worth a dvd purchase from my view!

[@MidniteCharro]

The more I watch the Flash the more I agree with Hector

[@BellaNew]

Could we have a HeCoy show. Thank you! I have my two older brothers that have those opinions that are these two wonderful people.

Especially because it already sounds like a superhero show. Into it.

[@pandamystery5990]

Sasha was obviously the highlight of the flim but god was ezra freaking great. The comedy scenes as mentioned were so well acted and the god the them portraying both the ages felt so so so perfect. I'm one of the few people who loves Barry for his awkwardness and annoyability and I think ezra has captured that just amazingly.

The fact that Hector scored it much lower than the others, is a nice balance considering how much of a DC fan he is. This is fair and balanced lol

Its still the DCEU Gunn said earlier this week that Blue Beetles is the first DCU movie Where does that leave Aquaman 2? Only God and James Gunn know

I have a feeling Aquaman 2 is going to bomb. It isn't part of the DCU because it was made before James entered. Also they still have Amber Heard in the movie and millions hate that woman.

[@mattkrywyj5184]

You can just tell the guy on the far left would have been negative about it no matter what the movie was.....He's just one of those dudes that thinks it makes him interesting or deep to shit on stuff people like....I love how he's like "Young Barry is annoying" when the whole point was to portray him as immature and childish.....

I think some of the displeasure of Hectors review have not see him in his own channel, Heroes Reforged, and how genuinely excited he was to see this movie so the fact that he didn’t like, I feel for him. But at the same time I take his review serious, I wasn’t going to see this movie and now I know I’m not missing anything and nothing in this movie matters 🤷🏽‍♀️ Too bad Heroes Reforge is on vacation break because I really want to hear what Augustin has to say 😬

I understand Hector but I think for the most part he had issues distinguishing the art and the artist which I understand can be quite hard

[@hectorminator]

11:45 exactlyyy 😂 So Barry 2 becomes dark flash because of Barry 1, but doesn’t become dark flash until way after meeting Barry, time travel does play with my head I can’t lie but the whole time I was confused as to wether it was a different timeline or reality and then ending just sent my mind over the edge a little and I’m glad I’m not as stupid because Hector is on my level, what does Barry think he did, go back to his timeline or his reality ?🤷🏽‍♂️😂 Edit: you guys say different reality, but why is aquaman who is in the postcredits (after the events of the movie I’m guessing) and I’m assuming Wonder Woman still in this world as the synder version?

64% critic rating, 79% audience score a B cinema score and not 1 but 2 Ezra miller according to the delusional WB executives = the greatest comic book movie ever made lol 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 As a huge DC fan I’ve refused to support this movie purely because of Ezra the stain miller, until he’s fired I no longer support DC and WB has brought this on themselves. It’s going to need 850 million minimum to break even hopefully it gets nowhere near it. To think this company fired and treat Henry Cavill like absolute crap, a gentleman and role model. Yet they retained, protected and offered public support to a vile pathetic stain who’s attacked and threatened multiple people.!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬 You know when Cavill made his announcement (after WBD lied to him) trended at number 1 for almost a week. But Gunn destroyed it for his own ego and that’s just a fact!!! Even if this comment triggers people boo freaking hoo it’s the facts.

I didn't like the film, but here's what i did like. I liked how the film wasn't dark like a Batman film, i can see the actors in scenes and i like the blue and orange tone and how i can see the colors on Ezra. I like when supergirl saves the guy in the helicopter by slowly bringing it down to the ground just for the villain to smash through the helicopter killing the guy she just saved. I liked Ezra's acting and all the Batman were good, i liked superwoman in the final battle. Supporting actors did an amazing job.
