well, we will see, the Lazarus pit was destroyed, so if he is planning to bring vandal back, he will need to find another way.sigpic

Of course there is no reason a stormtrooper would have to be white. But I'd say there IS reason that Ancient Egyptians wouldn't be white.

Originally posted by Infinite-Possibilities View PostI actually assumed Ciara Renée was hispanic. But either way, I was mainly talking about Falk Hentschel, who played Hawkman. Out of all the people in history who look like you'd think would ever have been named Khufu, he looks like he the very last one. He's an un-Ancient Egyptian looking as you'll ever see. He and his incredibly white looking Pharaoh father, looked indefensibly out of place.
I honestly don't know what they could have been thinking with this casting choice. If they wanted to cast him, go with the alien backstory. If they wanted to make their backstory begin in Ancient Egypt, cast people who could have perhaps even vaguely passed for Ancient Egyptian royalty.
I actually kind of hope people call them out on this, because I feel like it's the type of thing hat deserve flack.
I think Renee is a mix of a lot of different ethnicities/races, however it is possible to be both 100% black and a 100% hispanic at the same time . But Egyptian isn't one of them. That part didn't bother me as much though, it was momentarily distracting but that's it. It's the magic that really bothered me. Though I do agree that whitewashing is not a good thing. However, I am used to seeing this, so meh (is that bad?).

...bull****.
Flash has all the good writers and it is really annoying.
Originally posted by LtColCarter View PostYou sound like the people complaining because Johnny Storm was black in the lastest Fantastic Four movie...and the people complaining because there's a black storm trooper in the new Star Wars movie. Yes, the roles were traditionally portrayed by caucasian actors, but there is nothing saying that they can't be black. Or maybe we should just go back to the time when all roles were portrayed by white men.
BUT I don't blame the writers of doing that and the casting people probably didn't think things through. It just bothered me at an intellectual level. Flash writers are really good at what they do and their casting people did a good job. Arrow casting too, but their writers aren't um...fully aware of how some of their characters act at times (like a certain ex-boyfriend of Felicity). I rate this as minimal... BUT not comparable to the whole black storm trooper thing, not by a long shot.

Yes I'm familiar with that movie, I already saw the trailer. Heck, one of the heroes in that movie looks so white he almost seems like he was specifically intended to draw attention to how out of place he looks. They cast a white guy and then gave him blonde hair for the movie, even though he didn't have it naturally.
But that doesn't make doing it here any less wrong."First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you! It's a pity you humans die or get reassigned so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now!"

Originally posted by aretood2 View PostWhy couldn't Oliver lie to his baby mama about not telling Felicity? That is a question I can't answer. I mean, he is lying to his girlfriend (potential wife to be) by omission of truth. I somehow don't think lying to his baby mama is nearly as bad.Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

Originally posted by Ian-S View PostDoes this new revelation of his son cause a spin on the gravestone scene in the opening episode? Maybe it's not one of the regulars killed off, but mummy?
I preferred The Flash part of this crossover, the writing for that seems so much more humorous than the Arrow writers.
