The DC cinematic universe is straight bytch made getting a different actor for the Flash

[richaveli83]

It would suck if they incorporated their tv series to the movies. I enjoy The Flash but Grant Gustin would suck in a big budget movie. His acting is good for a tv show but it would be a struggle seeing him on film. Plus his costume in the show looks cheap. Don't get me started on that low budget Batman aka Arrow.

As far as Marvel's tv shows and their movies, if Agents of SHIELD was cancelled it would have no effect on the movies. Nothing that has happened on Agents of SHIELD, Daredevil, and Jessica Jones has had an effect on the films. Hell stuff that has happened in the movies is barely even acknowledged on the tv shows.

Some of us don't have the time or the patience (for both DC and Marvel) TV shows.
I don't want to sit around watching the shytfest that is 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' especially since no A-list Avengers actors or characters are going to be in it.

shyt, I tried the 1st episode of 'Legends of Tomorrow' and switched it off after 10 minutes because I realised it was connected to 'The Flash' and 'Arrow' TV shows and I had watched NO episodes of either.

So riddle me this to the people who are pissed at DC, hypothecially, where should the 'TV' versions of 'Flash' and 'Arrow' start from, their respective end of season arc or brand-new right from the beginning origin stories in 'Justice League'?

Arguement is redundent.

They wouldn't necessarily need the entire cast, from Flash all we would need is Iris, and possibly Cisco, we wouldn't necessarily need anyone else from Arrow besides Amell. Again I am not saying they should make a movie based on the show, I am saying the show could have lifted them into the movie universe, you can end the story on the characters not needed when the show finishes or have them spin off into other shows with other heroes like Marvel did with Coulston and Agents of Shield.

But if there's a flash movie then you'd need to lift the entire cast from the show

Also agents of shield is comoeltely different and isn't a hero show like the cw ones

People keep finding the weirdest things to complain about in regards to DC.

When Spiderman appears on Dare Devil then you guys can cry.

Whedon wanted to use Loki's staff

http://io9.gizmodo.com/joss-whedon-explains-how-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-1750903535
Later on in the Q&A, Whedon gets even less subtle, stating that the TV shows essentially get the scraps left over from the films, while revealing that at some point Agents of SHIELD planned on using Loki’s staff as a major plot point:

With a TV show, you just have to... you just have to be careful. Which, unfortunately just means the TV show gets, you know, leftovers. One of the first things they said was ‘We got a great idea! We’ll use Loki’s scepter!’ And I’m like ‘Yeah … um, hold that thought.


The universe is really connected, all they had to do was have Loki appear on AOS, why didn't have him appear

 

[Hejdå]

The confusing thing about them wanting to separate TV from movies is that they still go ahead and kill people from the tv show to put in the movies so as not to confuse people. Makes no sense.

 

[Spaceman Piff]

people really fighting for cw actors?

a ben affleck guest spot would mean flash is fighting cartoon stick figures for two seasons

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

That's a story reason to not connect them. I guess I'm asking, for a company that is behind Marvel in terms of building their universe....why throw out established characters and fan bases? What was the logic behind it?

Fred.

There's a rumor going around that the universes will interconnect at some point. Even so, the dude they got to play Flash in the movie is a tremendous actor.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Reading through this thread I think people believe Batman v. Superman is introducing 10+ characters and that's not really true at all. Snyder and co. have said that the story focuses on Batman and Superman and their conflict. The other roles are cameos. Slow down with this "convoluted" shyt, there isn't anything confusing about it at all.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

So you're telling me DC seen Marvel doing $700 mill off D tier characters....breaking $1 billion....and they was like "nah, we need to differentiate ourselves from that".

Aight breh, you got it.

Fred.

Listen... Batman was doing over a billon with no 3D ticket sales 8 years ago. I don't think it was a mistake to let Nolan do it the way he wanted to. Prior to Nolan taking control yes there were plans for Batman and Superman to appear on screen together but it didn't get off the ground. It was definitely something that had been discussed.

As for the television shows on CW.. again, you call it a mistake that they did them but they are low budget and they accomplish exactly what they want out of them. This is business. They are nailing down the 18-49 age demographic with shows that cost nothing to produce.

Now, you can argue if the Flash movie will make the Flash TV show look like shyt but the more realistic outcome is that the Flash movie will make it's money and the people watching the Flash TV show will not stop watching the TV show because they are already INVESTED in it.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I can't imagine Steven Amell in a fukking $200M motion picture and I like Arrow. Most TV actors are not going to translate to film. It's gotten better now with HBO and AMC approaching their series more seriously and hiring legit actors but we still live in a world where most TV actors ain't capable of doing film.

 

[Rayzah]

What is the point of this? I don't get it. Somebody break down why DC would do this. Because at face value it seems retarded.

Fred.

it is, fukk all these stupid excuses people talking about

why would we want TV actors on the big screen?

You realize tying the universes has implications beyond flash. It means that prison break dude will be captain cold. Hes the worst actor on TV right now

I like the cw shows for what they are, but keep that in the small screen

See the problem is when they decide to have a character in the movie they are removed from the tv show, if they are using different actors why remove them from the tv show?

Lets face it DC IS behind and they don't look like they know what they are doing with these movies other than trying to copy marvel, they are just throwing shyt at the wall and hoping it sticks.. These tv shows are doing these characters justice and the movies is just fukking that up, but since the movies make more money by default then they don't care... and you wonder why they are behind

He's about to be in ninja turtles 2


I don't have a big problem with them keeping it separate.

So far, their TV shows have been pretty good. And hopefully their movies will be great.
