'Season 1' Barry Allen, after a lightning strike and a couple of months of coma, discovers super-powers in himself due to the explosion of the Particle Accelerator, but is not the only one & #39; gifted & #39; victim, now devoting his life to the fight against super-villains. 'The Flash' from CW is a successful alternative 'realistic' approach 'Arrow', while inside the same unified universe. 'The Flash' bright, fantastic, ironic. Here villains are assigned nicknames from comics, illuminate the visual with an abundance of computer graphics, and the plot rests on time travel.
Naturally, the Flash not only fights Captain Cold, Gorilla Grod, Mist and other Greiders da Flutists, but also rescues little girls from burning buildings, takes people out of the wheels of cars, and encounters villains without the abilities of the Clock King (though Captain Cold is also just armed with an ice super-gun so in fact...). Over the 23rd episode, there's a lot of different things going on in the series, something more boring, something more interesting. As in any procedure where each episode is a new investigation, The Flash faces a new enemy in almost every episode. There are plots for several episodes in length, there are guests from 'Arrow' as well as the guest appearance of characters there 'The Flash' and himself.
The kaleidoscope of the characters turned out to be very colorful. For example, the second Weather Wizard here plays himself 'Spartacus' (however, the actors from there have long been registered in 'Arrow'). In addition, the backport cast turned out quite well: Caitlin Snow is the future Killer-Frost (her villainous image was even shown in the season finale, in a series of events of the future), Cisco Ramon is the future Vibe, in the end Harrison Wells is aka the Reverse Flash.
But Gustin himself is not Barry Allen. Glamorous handsome girl series, cheerful cheerful cheerful cheerful, from the Flash is a typical young Wally West I don't know why it turned out to be Allen. His father is played by the leading actor 'The Flash' 1990. Then the series lasted 1 season, and from there some more personalities migrated to the new version, for example, the villain Trick performed by Mark Hamill. Perhaps the total star of the guest cast is still inferior 'Arrow', but nevertheless it happens when even an actor is not really needed to create an epic epic - after all, the best series ' The Flash' - this is any episode about Gorilla Grodd!
You can get used to Gustin, especially since the Flash has a canonical and good costume, and there is not yet this misunderstanding of the rest of the CW comics when the hero is called the ' spot', then just 'arrow'. Flash here immediately Flash, and even a little stupid comic nicknames like Pi-ka-boo or Golden Glider - always find their owners. Except that I would like, as in the case of the ridiculous episode of choosing nicknames from ' X-Men: First Class' - that at least sometimes Cisco discussed alternative options of nicknames, choosing as a result the canonical comic, and not immediately gave birth to the right option.
'The Flash' this is a cartoon played by live actors. It reminds us of what we watched as children, in the nineties. 'Spider-Man', 'X-Men' well, all this, of course, from Marvel, from competitors, but this DC show balances in exactly the same proportions of seriousness and conditional cartoonism, as in the best years of comic animation, no matter what infamous animated series are now babbling around about superheroes. 'The Flash' sort of absorbs all the best that was in the good old animated series, and presents it in a live performance, with serial, but in places very decent special effects. Even strange - the fights of the Flash and the Reverse Flash regularly cut the eyes, but the natural disasters of the Weather Wizard or the same Grodd - a real feast for the eyes and total delight in the quality of visual effects and graphics.
' Flash' quite simple, but still charming, not too serious, but bright and colorful, not needing a gloomy-realistic adaptation, like ' Arrow', and therefore quite a comic series. If it weren’t for the smeared ending, the season would have been entirely praiseworthy. But the feeling that the creators outlined the main storyline of the season, and did not think of how to end it. For the seed mentioned the heroes of the upcoming spin-off 'Legengs of Tomorrow', gave hints at the events of the second season, and so did not really complete the story, although they got rid of the main villain. After viewing there is no sense of completeness, this often happened with the seasons 'Smallville' but these times seemed to be in the past. We will see how complete and complete the next season will be.
