[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm46-envrHo[/media] this looks terrible
Interesting how her new powers turned her hot too. But damn this looks not only cringy but the effects look so cheap.
It's like they're not even trying, they just fucking recreated this parody [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_5KgpN38hM[/media]
I think I just vomited
"First look" aka preemptive recap of the entire first season.
i'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and probably still watch the entire season. reminder that everybody hated the idea of the flash as a tv show when it was first announced but after it actually aired people changed their minds. [editline]14th May 2015[/editline] also god damn, this is the tallest, most confident, blackest jimmy olsen ever portrayed, which sort of makes me wonder [sp]is he going to become val zod?[/sp] [editline]14th May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=BOXHOUND;47720151]"First look" aka preemptive recap of the entire first season.[/QUOTE] the flash was 100% the same. the first preview was a longview like this and practically everybody complained that it "showed the first season" when in fact all it showed was the pilot.

[/QUOTE] where were you hanging around? cause after the backdoor pilot on arrow everyone was on board with flash
im glad they basically gave the entire first episode away so i can judge it now instead of later its shit
i never get why people watch this kind of shit it's like a stereotypical 1990's version of smallville with shitty writing, mediocre acting, and tits
[QUOTE=Zuimzado;47720207]where were you hanging around? cause after the backdoor pilot on arrow everyone was on board with flash[/QUOTE] so... exactly the same thing i said? everybody that follows dc seriously already knew the flash was in production long before the backdoor pilot on arrow and everybody hated it because a) grant looks nothing like barry and b) the costume was "dark" in the pictures that were leaked and everybody was complaining about the overall design and how they removed the white behind the lightning.
the music choice in this was godawful
Just by looking at this I'm pretty sure they're targeting more towards the female demographic, not guys. It would be better if they were targeting superhero fans in general, but I don't think we are the viewers they're trying to pull in.

Hot damn this looks awful.
[t]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/epicrapbattlesofhistory/images/e/e8/Jimmy-olsen-color.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140519134217[/t] Jimmy's a bit...darker than I remember
at least shes hot
This looks like the sort of thing I'd watch as a guilty pleasure, like Ugly Betty.
[QUOTE=InfectedPotato;47720562]at least shes hot[/QUOTE] Not enough to save this trainwreck of a show though.
Wait what, they made Jimmy black? Why? This is almost as dumb as making the Human Torch in that new Fantastic Four black.
Why not?
[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;47720875]Why not?[/QUOTE] Because there isn't a compelling reason to make him black?
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;47720935]Because there isn't a compelling reason to make him black?[/QUOTE] Is there a compelling reason to not make him black? Is his character in any way informed by his race?
[QUOTE=CapellanCitizen;47720952]Is there a compelling reason to not make him black? Is his character in any way informed by his race?[/QUOTE] It's like asking weather or not there needed to be a female Thor. There really wasn't a need. It's like they're plugging in diversity purely for the sake of being politically correct rather then because the story needed it. If they hired them because the actor brings something really cool or interesting to the character, that's perfectly fine, but if the studio's all like "Oookay we need some token minorities because otherwise some uptight folks will complain" then ultimatley it's actually feels a little bit insulting to the minorities in question.
[QUOTE=CapellanCitizen;47720952]Is there a compelling reason to not make him black? Is his character in any way informed by his race?[/QUOTE] Except you haven't given a compelling reason why they should make him black. "Why not" isn't a very compelling reason. It's like making all the characters in Exodus white and then getting all huffy when people complain, and instead of defending your choice you're making people defend their complaints. When you change a character or concept, you have to give a reason why you're changing it. Telling people they have no right to raise eyebrows and question your decision is infantile.
Someone post the comparison between this show and the porn parody where they actually have a higher quality outfit. I can't find it here.

They didn't just change jimmy's race, they changed his personality and name too. Now the only thing he has in common with the source material is his last name, his first initial, and his occupation.
If they cast someone like Donald Glover as Jimmy I'd be fine. He's enough of a dweeb to be Jimmy. 6"6, hunky and cool guy though? No. The only way this works is if it turns out he was a huge dweeb while he was with Superman.
I remember when people complained about Idris Elba playing Heimdall in the Thor movie. Then he turned out to be fantastic for the role and no one has complained since.
