Your white friend is full of shit with his explanation deep down this is the sentiment of whites when it comes to black folk in sci-fi or comics

rule of 3 if there is more than 3 black characters featured its a black show/comic.


I don't believe it's more an explanation than a question from him.

If you see "THE FLASH" as a "Black" show, that's fine.

But since it's also a "genre" show that includes Black folks, maybe a lot of our folks see it differently. Or don't even care because of what Flawless said.

I don't want to give any comic spoilers, but remember Savatar said he was the first speedster and we just found out he is Barry. So how can future Barry be the first speedster if he from the future and he hasn't turned into Savatar yet you may ask? Be prepared for some mind blowing explanations.

honestly, this season, arrow smashed the flash. even legends was more interesting than the flash.

Arrow has been fucking FLames..... If it wasnt for Mr. Terrific.. this would easily be a perfect season. Right now.. It's just slightly below.. and I need to see the ending before I try to say its better then Season 2.

On a Side note,
Especially since I felt no need to start a new thread on this...

Would any of you consider "THE FLASH" a "Black" show? And why? Or why not?

One of my White Comic Book peeps asks me about this from time to time. He feels the show has a Black Family dynamic that most Comic Book fans tend to ignore. Especially when you have a White Kid essentially raised by a Single Black Father.

And how do we as Black Fans see The West Family?

And correct me if I'm wrong,
But has even the awards shows like NAACP or BET even nominated this show or it's Black actors?

Let's discuss...

gawd damn... You know what.. that is a great point.

I mean Barrys family is black and Joe is easily the best depiction of a Single Black Father that I''ve ever seen Period..

Hell we could have a thread just on the fact that all of his kids have turned out to be superheros in their on way. That known of them become thugs... and that he raised two of them on his own. He has also never felt like a stereotype or magical negro..


Outside of Mr. Terrific.... I must say that the Arrowverse has done an amazing job of displaying black characters in this world.

Actually it does..... He does it to Create himself... Time is a Loop.


This goes back to that remnant theory that I posted last week... this makes perfect sense.
I remember quick scanning that post and laughing at your theory. I need to go back and read that post. Gotta give you your credit bruh.

I think Savatar Barry is the remnant that sacrificed himself into the speed force & became corrupted. I think that also explains the burn scars on his face

my man get its it...

I forgot that there is a character called "Future Flash". I was right about the fix timeline theory, but wrong about the person in the suit. I'm now 99% certain it's Future Flash. Which would fall in line with my earlier point about the theme of the show being about Barry's inability to deal with Loss. This would be the culmination of what happens when Barry can't deal. I still think that Future Flash is going to be a time remant that 8 years in the Future Barry created while trying to trap Savatar.

this one is Easy.. Barry was trapped in the Speed force and the Show has said that the Speed force falls outside of time... Future Barry knew what it took to creak him and one of those things was going back in time and setting the events that were needed for Past Barry to be desperate enough to create a bunch of Time remnants.

Every since,I saw this clip last I had a strong feeling it was Future Barry.



I originally thought it was Ronnie the way Killer Frost reacted,but when I saw the clip I knew it had to be Future Barry.And,then I remember what Savitar said in one of the episodes,he said that he was the first Flash and that part didn't make sense,because it was Barry,who was the first Flash in the timeline.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain quote holds so true in this situation. Every good deed Barry does is followed by a fuck up not far behind.

I must say that Im impressed that the show has been so consistent about this...

man the naacp gave donald sterling 2 awards. not one . 2 awards. let that sink it. they didn't do a background check on his tenants complaints of racism and intimidation. they mofos not doing a check on a superhero show about the black cast on it. also, dude who played diggle lay the ground work when he told oliver "i'm not your damn sidekick" before agreeing to be his partner. diggle is oliver's big brother he never had. the moral compass when shit goes wrong, get his head in the game when he's lost.

That episode was a waste of my time! Once again Killer Frost out runs the Flash...Barry doesn't tell Cisco that the next fight you shouldn't hold back because in the future she freezes your hands off & you lose ur ability to vibe. OR bring back the machine that trapped Savitar, so you can save iris!

The writers need to get it together!!!!!

Barry finally realizes that Iris is the cause of so much bullshit and frustration. He finally had enough of her & decided that killing her was for the best!
