Mind Your Surroundings: Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and Other Superhero Universes

[Starfish35]

I could see her being frustrated that her wedding storyline got overshadowed by the Oliver/Felicity storyline during the crossover.  I'm surprised that she would throw shade at the characters though.  :(

By logic if it was the only thing that mattered there wouldn't be complaints at all. 

I find complaining about having to share an improvised wedding in the context of the crossover superficial, no matter how many people think the opposite.

All I can say is EBR would never and I love that about her. ☺️

She's not saying anything in there that the majority doesn't agree with. I know you guys don't want to admit that, but it's true. 

My issue is why it keeps getting brought up. Is there nothing else the reporter could have asked her in an interview about strong female characters? How about Iris's Die Hard-esque storyline in the crossover? Or her being the leader at Star Labs? Nope! Let's talk about the wedding! And being married!

Truly. Emily is classy. Emily is the kind of woman who would totally be easy going and cool with it if it was the other way around. She would never throw shade at other characters because she wanted that spotlight solely on herself.

Pathetic. 

And with what I know about Candice surely she could’ve come up with something for Iris that didn’t involve “all she cares about is getting her man?” Yikes on bikes.

Emily is always so supportive of other characters, especially female characters. We are #Blessed.

Uhm, what majority? Unless there's a poll out there about this, I don't think anyone can claim what the majority agrees or doesn't agree with.

Because Iris' most major role in the show is love interest and this is probably the biggest thing she had going for her this season.

I wonder if it keeps getting brought up because Iris is only a love interest on the Flash. That was her big storyline and the wedding was shared with Olicity so that's what they'll ask about. 

They tried to make her a leader this season but she really has no skills to back that up with. I'm guessing from the spoilers they'll stick her in a mask like Laurel cuz they have no other use for her. 

[Midnight Lullaby]

It creates buzz. 

[tinnefoil]

She clearly said it in the context of this situation  => Iris didn't care about the specifics of the wedding, only about getting married to Barry; not that Iris in generally only cares about getting married to Barry. 

So Ava has been upgraded to sort of girlfriend?

But then she outlined all the ways Iris didn’t get the wedding she wanted.

[ladylaw99]

It's a sad day when all that matters is getting your man, now what?

[tennisgurl]

There are not enough words in the English language to describe how much I want people to stop talking about that freaking wedding. 

[SmallScreenDiva]

Shethority! Woohoo! Girl power!!!!

But let me get pissy because another character got the spotlight and the wedding I've wanted for my character. And i totes just want to get married to my man — because I'm a strong female character. 

Shethority! Woohoo! Girl power!!!

[insomniadreams88]

Every time I see people still talking/complaining about the double wedding, I wish that O/F had let B/I go to a justice of the peace and gone home and the last scene of the crossover was Diggle marrying just O/F. While B/I maybe got married off-screen since The Flash writers didn't seem to care enough to even mention them having a reception and that honeymoon scene was deleted.

Although people probably would have complained/whined about that. 

People will probably still be talking about the double wedding before/during/after next year's crossover.

It’s the most I’ve ever seen anyone talk about WestAllen.

[Primal Slayer]

The wedding...yay.

Big spoiler regarding Iris West

The Flash for some reason just SUCKS in the mask game. Which is weird because they all go through the same designer right?

Just means that Iris is a nicer person than Candice. 

And for the record, I think privately grumbling about the wedding but not actually letting it out on other people/in public is still handling it with grace by my definition.

Which is why that side keeps bringing it up. Otherwise, crickets for them. The only time they managed to get buzz is when they attached themselves to Olicity. And that's just the plain truth. No majority opinion needed.

This is why, probably:

[raven]

The horse is dead, people.  I know you all are reacting to Candice's interview but please no more discussion of the wedding(s), was it rude/not, whose was better, character and actor reactions, etc.

Thanks!

Hashtag feminism!

[Primal Slayer]

If I didn't know any better I'd think she was Miss Terrific

And I am pretty sure they just keep reusing the same mask over and over again but just changed the color.

[Angel12d]

Why are the eye holes so low? Haha. It looks weird, especially when they don't wear make-up underneath it.

Edited January 24, 2018 by Angel12d

[Primal Slayer]

It is such an ugly mask I just want to take it and burn it. I didnt even notice that Jesse/Iris have the same hair style as well. I like the ponytail but so much repetitiveness. 

[apinknightmare]

I like the ponytail. I think she looks cute with it. Don’t like the mask or the outfit, but at least she’s out like that in the daylight. Wide swaths of white on a dark costume look stupid at night (for concealment purposes).

What happened to Sara's Canary mask? She still had the best one. 

[statsgirl]

The Flash mask game is weak.

Let me get this straight .... Felicity can never, ever be a mask in this timeline (not that I'm complaining) but it's okay for Iris to get one

I can give Arrow kudos because each mask is at least "one of a kind".

A. Different showrunners

B. We don't know if this is E1 Iris.

Probably because they only care about Barry. 

[ruby24]

People think she might be Hot Pursuit. 

I think she's either Iris from the future or a different earth though. I don't think she's present day, E1 Iris.

I can see it.

Though if she is suppose to be Hot Pursuit (horrible name) I really like the helmet aspect, they should've given it to her. But I am really wanting her to be a doppelganger. 

[TwistedandBored]

I don't even care which Iris she is. I am just glad to see my girl Candace rock some superhero suit for once. Hopefully, she will be badass superhero.

Anyone can be a mask. To me it's like TVD when they turn them into vampires or werewolves after they run out of ideas. 

Probably the only thing I'll ever agree with MG on is his insistence on keeping her mask free in this timeline.

Same. I wouldn't mind if it happened in an alternate timeline, but I don't ever really need to see it.

The mask is kinda lame, but the rest of the outfit is cute. 

[Primal Slayer]

Tonights episode has to be the most 90s episode ever of the Arrowverse.

[tennisgurl]

I thought The Flash had a pretty good outing this week, especially compared to last week. The prison stuff still isn't my favorite, but it had some fun character stuff and I admit Ralph is growing on me. And I think the possible next story line featuring this "mystery girl" could be promising. 

Of course, I might just have been happy to have seen our Lord and Savior Beebo show up. Although, our God will have its vengeance on their insolence and treatment of our God. BEEBO!

[Miss Dee]

I absolutely squealed when Beebo showed up! I'm so glad he's not a one-and-done!

I was sort of neutral on Ralph, but after this episode - and now that I know Wally's going to LoT so he's not disappearing - I kinda find him endearing. Don't shoot me!

I won't shoot you! This was the first episode where I was like, 'awww. He's not SO bad...' We can huddle together for protection!

[JamieLynn832002]

I kind of liked Ralph too. He actually was heroic and he wasn't making constant random sexual references to the female team members which was my main issue before. Keep this Ralph, show! No more describing women by cup size, that was gross.

[catrox14]

So is the guy in the Flash supposed to be a mix of Poor Man's Joker, Anarky, and Vertigo only completely obnoxious?

[catrox14]

And Barry's prison is totally the same location used in Supernatural for Folsom Prison Blues.  This is your daily Catrox SPN reference :P
