Why is DC so obsessed with making Barry Allen into Peter Parker in their onscreen adaptions? Why can't they just adapt Flash faithfully?
>>
>>153932990
Who even IS Barry Allen as a character, first off.
>>
>>153933051
A square. Calm, steady, and pleasant. Marches to the beat of his own drummer. Not edgy, all over the place, or antsy. Unassuming heroic.
>>

>boring
Barry Allen is literally all the problems people have with Superman without any of the things that make Superman interesting.
>>
>>153934028
That does not equal boring.
>>
>>153932990
because they're stupid
>>
>>153932990
BDH as Iris would be amazing. But I don't know if DC would have the guts to make her white again because a bunch of idiots had a cow and started the #KeepIrisBlack hashtag when it was rumored they were going with a white actress in the solo Flash movie.
>>
>>153932990
could you not imagine anybody under 50 playing these roles

seriously, why are they so old, who is this even aimed at as a casting, even as a fancasting
>>
>>153932990
they tried that with blue beetle too

they don't understand the relatability of spider-man while still aiming for it
>>
>>153932990
Bryce Dallas Howard has a dump truck.
>>
>>153936518
Both of them are under 50. But Barry and Iris shouldn't be in their 20s. Stop trying to turn Barry into Peter Parker.
>>
>>153932990
>whitewashed Iris
Why?
>>
>>153935532
That was so stupid. And DC is terrified of those crazy people. Hence why she is now black in animation of all places. They always say that it's a different universe, so people shouldn't care. Then they throw fits if the character goes back to white.
>>
>>153936702
bait
>>
>>153936702
Because it upsets chuds like yourself
>>
>>153932990
If you don't want Barry Allen to be like Peter Parker, why are you casting Gwen Stacy as Iris West?
>>
>>153936518
James Gunn is such a hagmaxxer, it's sick
>>
>>153936630
because she's like 90 anon
>>
>>153937240
Because actors aren't characters.
>>
>>153936630
She's great.
>>
>>153936725
With Paramount they wont.
Also Bryce hangs at DC offices a lot.
>>
>>153933208
Would be excellent if they finally did that instead of trying to turn him into discount Peter.

No modern capeshit writer does.

The dial h guy pointed out how Early Flash and Spider-Man were similar.
>>
>>153934028
You can't do Wally properly without Barry being like that
>>
>>153934028
Barry is a good guy who says corny lines rather than stinging quips and that's something that makes him unique. He's dependable and the public likes him so much that they made a museum to honor him. He is a hero people treat like a great friend.

>That does not equal boring.
make him black and you fags would call him boring
>>
Because DC badly wants their own Spider-Man.
>>
>>153932990
Nobody gives a shit about The Flash so they figure they can "express their creativity" with him. If some Hollywood communist wanted to make Superman an evil fascist or Batman gay or some shit the execs just wouldn't let them because it's damaging the brand, so from the autisteur's perspective the draw of these B-tier heroes is that they can fuck them up however they like.

DC has there own Spider-Man. And he was a hit with the fans. But they then didn't do anything with him.
