#TheFlash officially start shooting, what means people will act by the Nth time like everything we know so far is something new. YES, the movie is cursed, YES, they will introduce the multiverse later than the Marvel movies, and YES, Ray not coming back sucks badly. Is no news.

There are some major problems in the movie, on the screen and behind the scenes. And is tiresome people focusing on the same old complains what we all have answer for the longest of times. So, i have to explain again the obvious for you all, in parts. #TheFlash

Starting by the structure of things: imagine the DC Movie Universe as a tree. What we know now as the Snyderverse is the root and the trunk. The branches should be the sequels and spin-offs started by by root. #TheFlash

But then, Warner Bros came with a chainsaw and cut the tio of the trunk. If you dont know, have a way to make the tree growing up even you chop the part. that new part of the tree growing up is the DCEU post-JOSStice League. #TheFlash

And i have to expalin this to you like you're Five because there is no better way to examplified what is going on about The Flash, in the POV of the fans/consumers. WB doesnt what to cut the tree completely, but also doesnt want the tree to grow in the way they were. #TheFlash

In the perfect universe, when Warner isn't run by a bunch of dumb fucks, Snyder would have zero interference on his work because the long-therm building, and the understandment that you can't compete on what Disney was doing, but what it DIDN'T doing (see FoX-Films) #TheFlash

We could have a Flashpoint way more accurate with the original comic and the 5-Film Arc finish. But sadly this wasn't happening. And we all know from YEARS, and in special after the Snyder cut is released, that the DCEU and the Snyderverse are 2 different entities. #TheFlash

And another important thing to understand: Flashpoint is for Flash what 'The Dark Knight Returns' is for Batman. Is the story what jumps out of the comics-reader bubble and teach in a didatic way the general audience about what #TheFlash is about.

With all that said, there is a aspect about that movie what scares a lot of people: the total elimination of Snyder influences in thar Universe. It is possible, it was realistic, and its maybe innevitable, BUT still not happen. #TheFlash

Remember: the still CCO Johns wanted to do Flashpoint ASAP after JOSStice League. And all the movies after the 2017 fiasco make a effort to the connections stay strong on what done before that. #TheFlash

All the movies (with exception of 'Joker' and 'The Batman') aknowledge Snyder's foundtations (even TSS, Gunn's interview and a few easter eggs show that). and that lies in te problems of doing shared universes without a plan: is the sensation of floating adrift. #TheFlash

And there lies the first pratical problem: is #TheFlash show to us that Arnoff and Hamada have actually a plan? All the official reports about the movie says Barry "creating" 'Batman 89' universe, instead of "traveling to". How much of this is accurate?

And if he's creating these "pocket universes" (a concept from Superman comics post-crisis) that mean these universes can be destroyed without affect the main one? Or the universes Barry create are here to stay? What Supergirl presence means? #TheFlash

And all this questions comes from the FACT the movie is INSPIRED BY Flashpoint, and ISN'T STRAIGHT ADAPTING the same. They are cleary taking liberties with the history right there to tell whatever they want to do. #TheFlash

That means #TheFlash will be good? I dont know, just watching to see. Nobody have a actual clue what this will be about, and time will answer this for us. "Others did multiverses before" yeah, but that will never stop Marvel, DC and other do that countless times, everywhere.

I think, either for DCEU and/or the Snyderverse, people wants a focused answer on what we are going. We see Marvel Studios and Monsterverse having a very clear path on where they are going, but we STILL dont see that with DC. And is exausting, really. #TheFlash

BUT there are something we know: complaning about this doesnt have strong connection with what Snyder wnated to do or dont bring Jeffrey and Lauren is a waste of time and energy. These aren't the plans anymore since 2017/2018. #TheFlash

Focus on Snyder have the right to (at least) finish his story and #RestoreTheSnyderVerse on HBO MAX, and maybe (MAYBE) you have a chance to see that happening somehow. Wanting a "Snyder accurate Flashpoint" for the sake of it doesnt change shit about WB/DC not having a plan.

They aint gonn a magically change course to make Snyder's canon again. We have saying this a gazilion times, and we agree that snyderverse works better as its own entity, so lets focus time and energy to make the rest of the bigger history happen. #RestoreTheSnyderverse

And now, we have the second problem: Warner and DC is run by assholes, what trying to force diversity as a selling point for the fact they have no plans at all to be made, and gaslight Ray Fisher to protect asshole executives. #TheFlash

And i think this is the bigger issue (ot at least should be) for everyone: how i can support the creatives what wants to do the best movie they can amist a bunch of assholes self-sabotaging any possibility of greatness there. #TheFlash

I am supporting the creatives (as i explain before), and by doing that doesnt mean we should be silent about the wrongs and abuses what the studio commit. Call them out are the right thing, independent of the movies are good or not. #TheFlash

This is sadly a long-therm battle, what we can just wing by sharing information, asking for answers from those involved, and remain vigilant to break the ways these studios use the major media outlets to do their shady deeds. #TheFlash

And that is how again #RestoreTheSnyderVerse (and all the derivates, like #ReleaseTheAyerCut) become a important thing for exactly the studio listen to the consumers, because they aren't anymore brainless easters on everything what they offer in therms of that IPs.

We know what we works and what didnt work, and in special we know what we want, without the necessity of gatekeepers (most of them bought by the studio) telling us what we want. We have ways to make our voices heard, and show results. #TheFlash

And i know it's TIRESOME from the fan perspective have to ask for that, but that is the price, somehow, is wanting the Snyder Cut released: #TheFlash [+]

we stay aways from the confortable position of just consumers and now becoming "executive producers" by selling to the studios what we ACTUALLY want to see. And by doing that, we have to deal with the BS what Hollywood deals every single day. #TheFlash

And is a hard thing to do, but that's the live we chose to. And with all that said, i want to #TheFlash REALLY shows a path, any path, for a cohesive future of DC Movies, while we still call accountability and making our wishies (liek #RestoreTheSnyderverse) come true.

I wish all the luck for the Muschiettis and i hope we get the best #TheFlash possible under the condition we are getting right now, but more important that that is hamada been accountable for his actions and make peace with us and Ray Fisher (and of course #RestoreTheSnyderVerse)

NOW, i wanna take a break and talk about #RestoreTheSnyderVerse later.
