Wally West: The Flash Appreciation 2019

[WallyWestFlash]

But why is there two of him? It seems there is an evil and a good one. Or maybe the past one knows he will go bad in the future so for now he's good?

Confusing.

Hm, good point. Maybe he was corrupted by the AI or is its creation somehow? Next issue hopefully will have the answers.

But what I get from this issue is that we have at least one good and mostly innocent version of Wally
spoilers:

he said he didn't want to hurt Ivy. If he would've killed her and the others he would be sorry for that

end of spoilers
That why I think he caused something and didn't do it himself, at least this version...

And why is Wally blaming Barry for all the FP thing when in Rebirth he assolved him?

Yeah pretty much.

I think best case scenario out of this complete character assassination we can hope for is that Wally did go crazy and killed everyone but somehow through some wonky time shenanigans the past version of Wally, the "good" one, might survive but still feel guilty of what his future self will do and is maybe trying to stop him.

Would also make sense with the Suicide Squad rumor thats been going around.

Basically a way worse version of what they did to Donna in Titans with the future Trioa stupidity.

Still complete nonsensical trash.

[The_Sneezing_Stormtrooper]

Yeah, I think he triggered something that caused the deaths (probably the sanctuary AI went rogue), but I don't think he actually killed anybody.

This seems like the most likely scenario to me at this point.

[Drako]

The sanctuary AI is probably messing with his head.

This is the second time Bruce made a psycho AI in continuity? He should retire of the field as soons as possible.

Confusing.

spoilers:

I'm actually thinking the Wally that revived Ivy is from the future. This issue takes place five days after the killings which now makes the dead Wally that we saw in issue one the present day Wally. My best guess at the moment is present him is still crazed or whatever, and future!Wally will end up stopping/killing him from doing more damage while fixing what little he can such as reviving Ivy and leaking the info to Lois. Then once he stops his past self, future!Wally will cease to exist. Of course all this would still leave a lot of questions left unanswered.

Wow. So not only will Wally end up crazy, a murderer, of his own peers, and dead but also the one who kills himslef. Yup sounds tasteless and sadistic enough to come out of King and Didio's minds.

Probably because Barry caused Flashpoint. Even if Wally has forgiven him it doesn't change the facts of what happened.

I mean, it's just my best guess. There's definitely holes in it, though.

spoilers:

But I could see King pointing to how Wally wasn't in his right mind in an attempt to portray him as some sort of victim in regards to the killings while future!Wally actions highlights his true heroism and "redemption". And to honor his sacrifice, Booster and company dump his body in the past in an attempt to cover it up?

If I well remember, Wally said textually it was something else. Someone else.

[Rend20]

If I well remember, Wally said textually it was something else. Someone else.

He absolutely did that in DCU: Rebirth. But then in Flash War, he proceeds to say he always blamed Barry even if he said he didn't.

[WallyWestFlash]

You actually think DC writes things with actual continuity? Or that one thing written in one book should line up with another? Especially King?

I wouldn't think too much into it. DC definitely isent.

[Spider-Ham]

I'm so depressed after reading your theories x)

Can't wait for this thing to end (And DoomClock), so I can move on.

Huge thanks to Marvel for publishing good titles while we have to endure this.

I'm pretty sure Wally is not the killer but it's still depressing.

[Dred]

Wally is not the killer. You don't promote the series as being built around Booster, Harley and Wally as the main characters and have Wally be the killer. It's way too obvious.

Wally was not promoted as the main character. Only Harley and Booster were in advertising. Wally was said to be included by King on twitter and then through leaks and rumors that weren't official
