David McK (3547 KP) rated Flashpoint in Books

So, Flashpoint.

One of the most famous Flash stories - recently covered (briefly) in the DC TV series of the same name, during season 2.

In which Barry Allen wakes up at his desk to find the world he knows has changed drastically: there's no 'Man of Steel, nobody has ever heard of The Flash, and Wonder Woman and Aquaman are at war with each other.

All of which, over the course of the story, eventually comes to be because of a single change in the past, with that oen chagne leading to a domino effect and creating this world.

Reading this, it's also not hard to see why it is one of the more famous Flash stories and is (currently) rumoured to be the foundation for The Flash's upcoming Big Screen debut ...

Everything I Could Hope For

As someone who grew up watching the beloved cartoon, Teen Titans, as well as an avid reader of the comic series, Titans and Teen Titans, a lot was riding against this TV show. However, I was truly surprised by how much I loved this series from the first episode. I've always adored the DC universe for their dark plotlines and backstories they give to the characters. I was thankful to see that they carried this same darkness into this television show. This paired with the talented way they showed the growth of the characters throughout the season was all done beautifully. I could not have possibly asked for more and look forward to the second season!

Movie Rating

Here's my quick review for this one:

I had zero idea this movie was based on a DC graphic novel; I was just intrigued by the premise of mob wives taking over. I enjoyed the story line. Margo Martindale is always great, no exception here. Melissa McCarthy felt weak, acting-wise and character-wise. Elizabeth Moss was EVERYTHING, and I don't normally care about her one way or the other. Her character's story arc was by far my favorite, her acting the most believable.

And then we come to Tiffany Haddish. She makes me cringe, and her voice makes me want to puncture my own eardrums. I just do not like her, and this movie did nothing to change my opinion. But if you can get past her, the movie was worth a watch.
