Wally West: Flash Appreciation 2018

[Jekyll]

Hey, all you nervous Wally fans: just don't come after Barry and you have my qualified support, dig?

Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)

Hey i love all the Flash bearers! I wish we could all get along and that the leadership of DC would give us more Flash titles instead of playing favorites or trying to pit us all against one another.

To the OP: You are not an idiot, thanks for posting a new thread for us!

I'm not sure if this thread started off as a Wally West appreciation thread or more as a paranoia thread!

. . . Also Wally hasn't been Kid Flash for over 30 years.

Well, it's okay to appreciate him as he once was since that contributed to who he became.
And he did dress like "Kid Flash" more recently than 30 years ago.

Well since it started out with a picture of Bart Allen and Wallace West it was a little strange. If addressing that means paranoia to you then you do you.

You got me. Wally showed up de aged and was wearing his old costume for two issues out of the last thirty plus years so you got me. Good one.

More importantly, that was how DC chose to reintroduce him to the DC Universe in 2016, after having been missing since 2011.

Brett Booth makes TPTB sound like real assholes I'm just saying.

This is MY Flash.
I love Jay, Barry, Jenni etc, but Wally West is my Flash.
I live in hope that TPTB at DC will eventually pull their collective heads from the arses and realise that it doesn't have to be Barry or nothing and give readers more than one Flash title

But Wally as Black Label. Eeeeehhh his situation is already dark enough in the main DCU at the moment.

Black Label doesn't mean you're going to read a darker take on your favorite character. For example, New Frontier and All-Star Superman are now part of the Black Label. But I agree "Black Label" is a bit weird for these stories :/

Don't worry about it, if we have a problem, it's not with a fictional character.
The fact is, most of the Wally fans grew up with this fantastic portrayal of Barry Allen, who is basically the father you wish you had and a role model.

This might be just me, but I love Barry Allen. And what I love the most is Barry Allen running side by side with Wally.

I was surprised to see a comment like this on this particular thread. I didn't think a Wally fan would feel this way. Maybe I misjudged the fanbase after all.

For us old timers, Barry and Wally were both loved by us since we grew up with them that way. In fact, the first time I saw both of them was exactly 50 years ago on television.

Nice. On the Filmation cartoons? Where Wally had black hair?

They could not get that right back then with the comics also switching it from red to brown on occasion.

Then excusing it saying Wally would dye his hair brown as KF to cover his identity. Don't really hear about a hero doing that that often lol.

Since I've joined these forums. I was under the impression that they hated Barry. What am i suppose to think when i see things like "He should have stayed dead." "The only important thing he did was die."

Im that isn't the case though.

Supergirl does it. Originally it was a wig, but nowadays she has special glasses that include an image inducer, makes people think she's brunette instead of blonde. You can certainly imagine the Flash's cowl doing the same thing.

You've only misjudged some of them.
