raglessHokay so the Trikster episode of Flash gets a metric fuck ton of hate and I don't really understand why.
I mean Barry outing himself to two people in one episode was a bit heavy, especially since Eddie was out of no where, and the bodyswap scene while deliciously gruesome was not a necessary thing, we got backstory all episode for a dead man, hokay.
BUT I FUCKIN ADORED THE TRICKSTERS
...borderline unhealthily so. It was campy and self referential as shit BUT THIS IS THE FLASH YOU'RE WATCHING, that kind of attitude is PERFECT A++ maintenance of carrying over the general gist of the flash franchise. And seriously when you have a regular cast member who was the Barry Allen of 1990 and then bring in another actor from the 90s show reprising his character, you can't help but go campy.
Mark Hamill succeeded in having the crazy creeper voice complete w/ hysterical laugh while decidedly not being the Joker, which was fuckin cool. Unlinke his voice in Kingsman, that junk was totally Joker, but it made me giddy so that's all more than okay. Maybe that was his original Trickster voice, but I haven't watched 90s Flash since it was airing so I'm useless there. Silly rant short:
Mark Hamill = magic.
Ugh whatever to all my friendlies being haters love love love.
(I have to find something better to update this journal with)

Mark Hamill is a god
Date: 2015-06-16 08:48 am (UTC)It is indeed cw junk. If only I had control over my flashfam weakness. I don't even really know Barry well enough to give that big of a shit about him? He had been dead for most of my life. (Right I can still say that? I'm going to have to do some math here).
It is cute, and they have so many freakin shout outs, but it is probably in your best interest not to waste your time on this one. You're talking to the kid who watched Birds of Prey hoping for a Dick cameo (not that I don't love the shit out of Birds of Prey, but that show was all sorts of wacky), so you should probably never take my brand loyalist word on very much.
