Are these new super hero live-action shows worth watching? I've seen half an episode of The Flash and 2 episodes of Constantine, am I just wasting my time as a comic fan (meaning they're made more for teenagers and nrrrdgrlz) or do they pick up for people that read comics?
>>
>>77824585
Most episodes with the Rogues on Flash are pure comic book goodness. At least, when the Rogues are the focus.
>>
I was in the same boat as you OP, and kept getting whisked back with false promises. Don't bother, they're just CW shit like Smallville, though now Friday Night Lights is'nt as popular, so they ape Supernatural and have brief flashes of MCU tier quippy shit that's nothing like any comic run, no characters or villains are worth you time.

>>77824616
No, they aren't.
>>
>>77824671
Thanks

Able to recommend anything that is worth watching?

Flash is faithful to the character, has great side characters and is a pretty fun ride aside from the bits of teen drama that the CW requires to be in the show.
Arrow is absolute trash that changes writing teams every season and Oliver is nothing like the comic character. There's like 5 heroes in the new season or some shit and none of them are relatable or likeable. Also, Felicity is the worst thing to happen to the show.
>>
>>77824616
Rogues have the worst episodes in The Flash. Da fuk?
>>
>>77824585
What else are ya gonna watch? Why don't you just keep watching Flash and decide if you like it or not? It's not like there are a lot of episodes to watch. The show is only in its 2nd season.
>>
>>77825693
No they don't. What are you talking about?
>>
>>77824671
I'll disagree with you on the Rogues. Sorry you feel that way.
>>
>>77824790
I don't think that anon is right, OP. You should judge for yourself. /co/ has terrible taste. Even I do.
>>
>>77824585
>meaning they're made more for teenagers and nrrrdgrlz

Exactly that, they're poor adaptions of the characters and unless you're excited by namedrops and not-so-subtle references there's nothing to enjoy.

>>77824790
Most DC cartoons as well as Spectacular Spider-Man and Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
>>
>>77825474
I'll agree with this Anon. Arrow S1 wasnt that bad and i did enjoy it. Bit overly dramatic at points but towards the end it picked up and the Island flashbacks were worth it. S2 Arrow was fucking great. S3 Arrow was pretty much crammed full of Felicity that dragged and ruined the season, only good parts were Ray Palmer and Roy. Arrow S4 is better but isnt as great as S2 but it is interesting with magic and Meta's more common.

Flash S1 was a super fun ride and was pretty faithful to the comics for the most part. The rouges are great and it is probably better then Arrow Overall. Arrow S2 was GOAT though.

If you really wanna watch them go in order because they do cross overs and you need to kinda follow the seasons?
A S1-> S2-> AS3/ FS1-> FS2/ AS4

Honestly don't know anyone that reads comics and doesn't watch all the cape shows and movies. If you like superheroes just watch superhero stuff it's not really rocket science. Just watch the shows and form your own opinions like an adult.

You're thinking of Captain Cold. His episodes are great. But Rouge episodes are garbage.

But really the only unwatchable episode is the Bee one.

Every Rogue episode has Captain Cold in them. I'm talking about the episodes that literally have "rogue" in the title. The Trickster and Weather Wizard one weren't shabby either.

Every person I know that reads comics and one point or another started with cape books. Even the most pretentious comic fans I hang out with are caught up on Flash, Jessica Jones etc. Just watch them if you want instead of asking 4chan for approval.
>>
>>77826277
And comic books have traditionally been for kids. What are you trying to say here? That the target demographic for comics also likes shows based on comics? Fucking weird I know right?
>>
>>77826726
You seem motivated enough to be a faggot on 4chan. Maybe you should redirect that energy into your studies.

If anything Flash gets too comic-booky at times. I've seen a lot of complaining about all the crazy SCIENCE! stuff.

Constantine is worth watching all the way through, but prepare to be very angry that there will not be a season 2.

Recommend Sense8 on Netflix.

Dunno, watched some flash s1 episodes, many of them were laughable, especially the earlier ones... But fuck, I love me some reverse flash. Dunno why, but this motherfucker always seemed very fucked up and menacing to me amongst capeshit villains.
>>
>32 years old

Had never seen a CW show, love Mad Men, Sopranos, the Wire, etc

The Flash is very good. As good as Daredevil but very much its opposite. Very comic-booky, fun, melodramatic. Cavanagh and Martin give terrific performances. Top tier cape antagonist, and a really engaging, season spanning plot.

iZombie's good too. Never saw Arrow.

I've been re-watching the CWverse with the new seasons coming out right now. The relationship drama is really annoying, but once you get used to it you see the show underneath and enjoy it.

Anon, the shows are worth the watch, the only truly bad thing so far has been Arrow season 3, which wasn't entirely crap as it had some good episodes mixed in.

Flash is fun, and very much feels like a comic book. and Cold is so fucking based

Arrow is Entertaining and much more serious than Flash. Oliver may not look like the retarded overgrown leprechaun he does in the comics, but anon it makes him running around shooting arrows into people something you can take seriously.

Constantine is really good and worth a watch, but I guess normies wrote it off as a supernatural clone (yes, I see the irony here) and it didn't get much love.
>>
Flash and Arrow are terrible.

>>77831834

The second appearance of Grodd was literally the previous episode that aired
>>
You know what's REALLY weird?

Comics like the flash, superman, whatever, have this relationship stuff engraved into it as part of the mystery. "Will she figure it out? Will he tell her? will they reconcile?" and yet when a show makes this "like the comic" people groan.

50% of the Wally West run was about Wally and his relationships with Professor McGee, Linda, the blond chick who got with the black hole fat black guy, whatever. It's PART OF THE FLASH

Sure current Iris was written like a cunt, but she's gotten better and we've gotten Linda and Patty out of it. It's part of what you take when you watch a show like the flash.

And despite the one part of the show that's a staple of being a CW show not being great all the time, the Flash more than makes up for it with every other relationship it portrays.

Flash is the capeshit show we deserve, but you fags can't see that beyond "muh teen drama" despite that it's been a staple of the genre for decades.

Flash is a fan's wet dream for the most part. They do a good job.

Arrow is kind of trying to hard to be The Dark Knight:The Show but they're shying away from that and letting Green Arrow be Green Arrow finally.

CW probably has some fat woman on the writing staff who's sole job is to fuck everything up with teen drama. That's her job title. Teen Drama Consultant.

Yeah, and it works. There's a reason CW's still in buisness.
>>
>>77824585
I tried to watch The Flash and enjoy it, and it seemed cringy as fuck. Believe me, I'm no tumblrina, but the writers absolutely have no idea what their doing with any of the female characters. If you see a female character in the shot, fast forward. When you have lines like, "Don't go, my heart aches for you," and constant Big Bang Theory tier "le ebin nerd science XDD" you walk away with a bad taste in your mouth.
I stopped after a few episodes. Captain Cold was so bad my face puckered. However, you can disregard my probably shit opinion becauseI don't really read comics and watched Daredevil right before The Flash, which I thought was a lot better (though it did have its clunky moments).
>>
I had my doubts with the rather cringeworthy Flash premiere, but I kept going and was well-rewarded for it. At least watch half of season 1 of The Flash, if you don't find yourself having fun then you can at least say you tried and didn't just take some 4chan virgin's word for it.
>>
>>77837675
Dang! Captain Cold is one of the best parts of the Flash in my opinion.
>>
>>77837808
The character has all the parts there to be good, but it's like they put them together in the wrong order. I think it's the way the actor is handling it. It's so close, and so, so far.
>>
Flash is damn good if you fast forward through all the relationship bull crap. Seriously, when will Hollywood learn? As for arrow, it bores me, bores me alot. When happening is going on shit is awesome, but unfortunately all these superhero shows follow the same formula of 80s and 90s action shows, 40 minutes of boring ass drama and exposition, 5 minutes of action.
>>
>>77831011
>love Mad Men
Why?
Sopranos and The Wire are good, but Mad Men is awful. I blame the amount of women in the writing roster.
>>
>>77836424
I read Geoff Johns' run and to say it has anywhere near the amount of relationshit as a CW show is a straight fallacy
>>
>>77837842
I think the actor nails it! You can tell from the first time Cold appears that he's getting bored of the old fashioned theiving game. He's the best in the buissness and always ahead of the cops! Then the Flash shows up and the fact that the whole world has powers all of a sudden. Snart couldn't be more overjoyed. Now the game feels fresh again. He has a nemesis, a new kind of crew and loved his new persona. He really enjoys being a supervillian, and for me it's infectious to watch.
>>
>>77824585
My dad really likes the Flash.
He also really likes iCarly so I couldn't tell ya.

That's meant to be a good thing? Flash is a piece of shit.

Jay was a mistake or at least giving him spotlight, Jay/Caitlin was terrible and went nowhere, how she got over Ronnie was poorly handled (blowing up at black guy, and then her issues getting resolved with a chit-chat with Barry explaining why she did so), Cicso's dilemma with his powers was nonsensical and resolved even stupider than his motivation for hiding his power, Earth 2 Wells is just there and does that whispery ACTING shit too much and I can't take him seriously, and so on. Even things like Caitlin expressing sadness about Grood, despite doing him good, and Ciso reassuring her is shoddy as fuck. The stilted dialogue and the shitty acting is present in every scene.
