Awesome thumbnails. I'd watch the videos if I actually watched the shows. I tried watching The Flash, but it seems to reliant on comic book mythos instead of other important things.

@Superior
I make the thumbnails, so thanks, man! I try my best to make them as cool as I can.

The Flash is the best network superhero show when it embraces the comics, I feel. When it tries to do its own character work it just comes off as unoriginal, roundabout soap opera. The superhero elements save it.

Great job, man. And I totally agree with what you're saying.What made me want to watch the show was after seeing King Shark, but my interest faded after the first episode and some of episode 2.

Although, I saw the fight with Flash going against Captain Cold and Heatwave and there was plot contrivances from the start i.e. like how Flash could have easily just disarmed them on the spot. He's a hard hero to tackle in terms of external conflicts, but I'm pretty sure there are some creative ways on getting around such barriers.
