I was ecstatic to see John return to the Flash after so many years. I own the original Flash series from 1990 on DVD. Dude was fit back then and didn’t really need that muscle suit. Lol. Great interview brother as always
@MythopoeicNavid3 жыл бұрын
Same! And it's awesome how he managed to return in the suit as that iteration of the Flash AND played Jay Garrick later on lol. This is the Barry Allen I remember -- the 90s version.

It was cool and awesome to bring him back and to even be able to use the old suit in some episode later was like a tribute or honoring the old show any. so hope can get that show and others on dvd later anytime.

Yep, that line about being proud to be his son, gold. People forget how good the writing used to be on The Flash now that the writing has become dog shit. Such a shame. Honestly the show needs to revamp itself if it's gonna continue. Total soft reboot within universe. New cinematography style, new writers, the works. The whole show has to change because what it's become is embarrassing. Something must be done.

When I saw there would be a new "The Flash" show I remembered back to the one from the 90's, and how I was a fan of it. Then when I heard John Wesley Shipp would be on it I was just ready to watch it. It was a great 360 symmetry of one generation of Flash to the next. This time though JWS played Barry's father and then other incarnations of the Flash from different Earths. Great way to pay homage to the original show and actors. I just wish the new series would get back to its roots of season 1 & 2, the last couple of seasons have gone off the rails for me. Still enjoy this version of Flash with Grant Gustin, and he is a lot better than the DCU movies Flash with Ezra Miller.
@obsidiansands3 жыл бұрын
To be fair to Ezra Miller; he hasn't had a chance to grow into the role and flesh out the character his way - not like how Shipp and Gustin did during their time as the speedster in the series. WB pretty much screws up their own chance at a shared movie universe every chance they get. I know Marvel and Disney has some problems, but they've managed to semi-coherently do justice to their shared movie universe - something WB can't even do right.
@truealpha56763 жыл бұрын
Idk about not having a chance I kinda disagree cause being in 2 movies with the Justice league around especially when one of them was originally 4hrs long is more than enough time to flesh out how you portray a character. Maybe with Ezra’s solo movie that might change but even I doubt it’d be much different.
@obsidiansands3 жыл бұрын
@@truealpha5676 his parts were bit parts. Snyder's Cut has him out a little longer, but the focus isn't on him despite him being the deus ex machina of the film via time travel cheat. That's not enough time to "flesh him out" in those short moments where he has lines.
@truealpha56763 жыл бұрын
@@obsidiansands you’re exaggerating it a bit, cause I just watched the movie last night and yea there WAS Plenty of time to flesh him out 😂 Cause he didn’t “just have lines” he actually played a role in the snyder cut, You just don’t think so simply because he doesn’t have a solo movie which is partially why I mentioned Flashpoint possibly changing that, but even then that’s hardly relevant because he’s already in 2 movies anyway. Even with a solo film its not really going to establish anything else we don’t already know other than his story so honestly your position is hardly valid not to be wordy lol.

I was like amazed that they brought him into the flash show, I just felt like I was a kid again seeing the person who played as the flash in the original show, it always felt amazing to see him everytime he was on screen, then seeing him play as jay garrick and then especially when he got to play as the 90's flash again, was by far my most favorite flash moment seeing him wear the original suit once more and reveal to current flash barry allen that he was also flash barry allen. Will never forget the moments he is on the show each time.

You know, it may not have lasted for very long back in the 90's. But we ALL loved The Flash show from back then. If it matters to anyone, the comic book nerd audience was into it at the time. My local comic shop had a big cardboard cutout of Flash and this was before you could just hit Amazon and buy a cutout of anyone. It just wasn't mainstream enough to last. I think that the exact same show, maybe if it came out even 4 years later with an internet audience to chirp about it on AOL chatrooms or something, would likely have met a much larger and more vociferous audience reception. I still remember it very fondly. It was there at the precipice of the geek culture takeover. Post Batman, pre X-men, and it will always be thought of as "one of the good ones". Cheers!
