The Flash Director: Film Flopped Because "People Don't Care About the Character," Especially Women

The Fastest Man Alive wasn’t a runaway hit with audiences — especially women. That’s according to The Flash director Andy Muschietti, who sa

If I was feeling mean, I'd say that it's true no one cares about the Flash, but I feel more that despite the enthusiasm by the creators and actors like Michael Keaton and Sasha Calle, the fact that it was a mediocre superhero film starring a controversial" lead actor with subpar special effects probably had more of a bearing on why it didn't do so well beyond "women don't know who the Flash is".

The character had a who that ran (haha) for nine seasons, while not everyone watched that show (I know I didn't), the fact that it was an overtly not great movie (plus Miller's antics) more likely made people more willing to choose other more convincingly good films instead.

I think that James Gunn did mention recently that there are no immediate plans to have a new version of the Flash appear in the new DCU, but I think that considering Gunn's whole thing is introducing obscure comicbook characters and making the audience fall in love with them, a version that actually WORKS on screen will probably happen at one point or another (especially as they have already confirmed that Gorilla Grodd is a thing in the new DCU).

Just have it be Wally West when the Flash next appears, and pretend that Barry died. That's when Barry worked best as a character, when he was dead and not appearing in anything except in flashbacks. Or have a movie focusing on the Rogues and introduce Wally in that film as a heroic antagonist or something.

i think it would be kinda fun to do a watch thru of every 'launching point' godzilla movie (as in, each film that's been presented as a titular introduction to a specific era or series. yes including both american versions). it would be a fun way to get a feel for how each iteration of the franchise has shifted.

Reblog if, no matter the size of the role, you would agree to work with the Muppets if offered the chance to do so, no questions asked

You've been cast into a fictional setting, and you don't get to pick your genre. This wheel picks it for you.
