"The Flash Is Not About Tragedy": Wally West Appreciation! (NO NUWALLY BASHING!!!)

[Rend20]

Williamson gave another interview about what's ahead after Flash War. Most of the specific details are naturally about Barry, but he does talk about how Wally's story is really just starting.

So much effort is put into Comics and TV and Movie superheroes trying to give them a motivation that really justifies their actions. When you show Wally his kids, forgotten and imprisoned, is it almost a free pass? That Wally can do almost anything and people won't hold it against him? Or is it a balancing act of trying to keep from being too dark since Wally is still a hero, right? But what wouldn't Wally do from here on out?

Yeah, we're trying to change the way these characters work a little bit, and put your stamp on them, add a little twist on them. I think with Wally, it's going to be a rough time. It's definitely going to be hurtful for him, and an emotional rollercoaster ride.

Though I can't say that answer has me particularly excited since it seems to be more of the same with the potential to be worse.

I guess we will have to wait for Tom King’s book to wrap up before we get to see if Wally will have a book of his own. Of course the beloved Flash family is still trapped in limbo, with the exception of Bart........I wonder where that will go?

Well, maybe each year a past Flash character will be spotlighted as returning, but every other one will only be returning briefly.

* 2016 = original Wally West returned
* 2017 = Jay Garrick returned, but then vanished again in that same issue
* 2018 = original Bart/Impulse returns, and . . .

Nice observation! Maybe DC is starting a flash holiday where each year, Didio will allow one Flash figure who is not Barry to have a minor role in something.

We should call it Flash Day or something.

I don't mind the modern look, but this makes me miss the classic Flash suit.

[WallyWestFlash]

Ohhhhhhhh yeah!!!!!

He's ready to go with that look in his eye.

I agree. Just needs those classic Wally white eyes.

Well, so that's a thing.

From the DC Nation panel, a few hours ago :

– Tom King drops one other bomb: quoting Dan Didio during the development of this storyline: “you can’t have a crisis without a dead Flash”

Good bye Wally.

From the DC Nation panel, a few hours ago :



Good bye Wally.

Dan Didio is a no talent hack who needs to be fired.

[Spider-Ham]

I find these words a bit disgusting. Didio cleary knows fans are waiting to learn more about Wally's fate and if he will finally have his own title.

And everything he has to say is this.

[WallyWestFlash]

Dan Didio is a no talent hack who needs to be fired.

Quoted for truth.

And this is why I just don't give a crap anymore.
