The Flash
We at State Controlled Media love superheroes, and everything
associated with the genre. Movies, games, comics; It is all good. Well, almost.
I bet you know who this is:
And I bet you know who this is:
And these guys:
So why is it every time Hollywood re-boots a superhero
franchise they have to tell us the origin of the characters?
We all know what we need to know.
Which brings me to the Flash. Ironically the Flash could not
get through the Origin Story fast enough. We all know the flash is the cat who
can run really fast. As, if you needed to hear a mysterious bolt of lightning
from a particle accelerator gave him super powers….yawn. The comics have given
the Flash any number of powers over the years attributed to many different things
and modified them as need for plot without having to start over and explain
where the hell it came from.
AS for this Flash, he beat the bad guy (yes, it looks like a
show that will set up a freak of the week scenario to give the Flash something
to do) by…wait for it…running really fast.
Yup that’s it. He Usain Boldt’ed the bad guy into…getting
shot by a cop. The police took out the bad guy. Something that could have happened
at any point by the way. The Flash can be such an interesting character. But no,
they made him a lovelorn, goody-two-shoes, who thinks his powers are “cool” oh
and everybody knows who he is! Really, the mask who needs it no less than 5
people know for sure this guy runs fast.
Just don’t tell the girl he grew up with that thinks of him like a
brother that he has the hots for….just ….eeewwww
