It is an example of retconning, isn't it? Are we saying that the Flash showrunners haven't given any evidence that they think that the two Flash shows are related? Did we ever see 1990s Flash on the current show? (Yes, yes we did). My point is that the decision of where to draw the line between the shows sharing a multiverse is ARBITRARY. On this wiki, actors playing the same role only count if the showrunners say so explicitly (did they do this for Flash/Supergirl? I mean it's obvious, but did they say that this is the exact same Barry Allen? Otherwise there is a contradiction). Seeing the 1990s Flash in the speed force does not count on this wiki. Using the 1990s Trickster as a photo of the current trickster does not count. This is ARBITRARY. And that's fine, this is a community that makes up its own rules.

I simply object to statements that say some arguments are justifiable and others aren't, because the distinctions are only in the minds of those making the statements. It is perfectly logical to see it EITHER WAY, and if the community feels that one view is more favorable than the other, the community CAN make that decision.
