#I mean ok if we discount the very very humongous elephant in the room that is ezra miller

I wish studios were more willing to give us different forms of superhero media. Like, the Into the Spider-verse series has been so good at taking a well known IP and giving us a different approach to it, such that the movies have been doing really well despite other current superhero flicks underperforming and people screaming about “superhero fatigue” every two seconds (though I guess it also helps that Spider-Man is one of the most profitable comic book IPs out there).

It sucks that studios aren’t really thinking out of the box - especially Warner Brothers. The Flash would’ve been the perfect DC guinea pig for this imo, especially the flashpoint paradox which is tailor made for a multiverse type animated picture. Just thinking of how we could get the different people who have carried the mantle of the Flash (Barry, Wally, Jay) and also introduce key supers from the JL. Maybe even make Wally the protag of the animated feature because the general public already has the cw show in their conscious, so a different Flash in a different style might have been interesting (also people - rightfully - prefer Grant over Ezra so…). Idk there’s been a real missed opportunity here and it sucks.

#the new flash movie is actually not bad at all! #I mean ok if we discount the very very humongous elephant in the room that is ezra miller #but the idea is there and it’s not bad #we already have an animated flashpoint movie that was really good imo #but it doesn’t have the blockbuster budget that was needed #I think with the right team an animated flash that took a few leaves out of the ITSV series would’ve been amazing #as it would’ve given us something refreshing in the dceu - which has so far been a mixed bag of mostly misses #I’m not saying that an animated feature would’ve fixed all the issues dc is having rn #and the difference is that into the spiderverse can also tie into the goodwill that the mceu has built over the last decade or so #but it just would’ve been something different in the almost saturated superhero market #and it’s easier to separate an animated feature from the live action movie catalogue - which again had been pretty bad for dc in general #I’m just saying that if we’re going to do flashpoint make it an animated feature #and love action flash just kinda sucks imo #ezra is NOT a good barry allen- like at all #grant gustin is light years away better but I also don’t think he’s that great #the best flash has always been the animated one #and dcau has always been really really solid #we could’ve had a winning combo…if only wb didn’t fk up #le sigh #the flash #dc #dceu
