This is an important part of the Barry Allen story. Also is Iris gonna be ok? And who's the traitor? remeber when cisco vibed Killer frost and him as Vibe. Maybe the vision is our answer. also probably cisco is the traitor and caitlin is the friend in the vision. because if your recall this show is full of surprises Why does everyone want Cisco to turn evil. Despite having suprises, they follow the canon. In the comics Vibe is good and Killer Frost is evil. "they follow the canon"

Sorry, did you watch season 2? Yes i did, lets see some of the similarities.

1. The White emblem

2. Multiple earths with an old timey feel to E2 with a bit of future tech.

3. Zoom wanting to make the Flash into a better hero by killing his loved ones.

4. Iconic characters such as Killer Frost, Jesse Quick, and Jay Garrick.

5. Vibe gaining his powers as he learns to be a superhero.

6. Wally doing the same.

7. The recreation of the Flash of two worlds storyline.

8. Flashpoint was created.

9. Henry Allen flirting with Dr Mcgee as a reference to their relationship in the 90s Flash show.

10. Deathstorm, Reverb, King Shark, and even the Turtle as villians.

1. The white emblem was confirmed when they saw the future in season 1.

2. Yes, and Earth-2 is referred to by Barry as "the one where everyone is evil". That's what stood out to him abobut it. That's also what stands out about Earth-3 in the comics. They didn't even have Jay come from Earth-2.

3. Zoom had not intention of making Barry a better hero. He wanted to make him EVIL by killing his loved ones. Also, aside from the name and dad-killed-mom backstory, this Zoom has nothing in common with comics Zoom; he was mostly just The Rival from the comics.

4. Jesse didn't become Jesse Quick until season 3. And she does it in the comics because her parents are superheroes, and her way of becoming a speedster is unique: by saying a magic fomrula. Not here, though, just a regular speedster with a gone mom and a scientist dad. Again, this Jay is from Earth-3.

5. Vibe gained his powers and learned to be a gangster, not a superhero, in the comics until the Justice League came knocking.

6. Wally did not gain his powers because of the explosion in season 2, he got them because of Flashpoint and Doc Alchemy in season 3.

7. That wasn't Jay, and he didn't even have speed. They only recreated the cover of the Flash of Two Worlds comic, except Barry running at human speed and nothing threatening the fallen victim.

8. Are you saying the tv show Flashpoint was anything like the original?

9. That's a reference to another tv show, not the comic books.

10. King Shark was never a mutated human or from another world. He was also only a Flash villain in the Injustice video game's comic book. Reverb was Vibe's little brother, and a superhero, not a villain. Deathstorm was Martin Stein fused with a corpse, not Ronnie Raymond. And they amalgameted the Turtle with Turtle Man, and made him a killer instead of a imple thief. So they still showed the symbol here.

You got to change some things with comic book shows when it comes to characters that are ridiculous and can be used to make better stories than the comics.

May i remind you that Zoom's definition of hero and villian is different than most.

Yes! TV Flashpoint was like the original. They just got rid of the Justice League and shortened it.

Zolomon was pretending to be Jay and they did a cool cover recreation with him.

The 1990s Flash show is technically a part of the DC universe.

Once again changes should be made. Having a ressurected Ronnie would be stupid, plus they have not introduced the Green Lanterns. Wait what?

They didn't have to change the name of the Earths at all.

Zolomon in the comics wanted Wally to be a better hero, not turn him into a villain like himself. In the show Hunter just wanted Barry to break and be a villain.

The 90s show can't really be considered part of the DC Universe, it is like saying DCAU is directly linked to New Earth/Prime Earth, it isn't.

Why couldn't Martin Stein-2 fuse with a corpse to become Deathstorm? It would be just as out there as most of the stuff on the show. Just have the corpse be Ronnie Raymond's dead body and it's fine.
