DC/WB Confirm ''The Flash: Flashpoint'' Movie - Page 13

Yes, proof is vital when it comes to movie casting, but when abuse allegations are thrown around - go with your gut!

Maybe I'm being facetious.

Hardy-f*cking-har-har.

And you wonder why I lose my patience with you so easily and so often.

A website posted a clickbait headline which the article underneath it says absolutely Zero to support and I explained in crystal clear detail why that's Bad.

Show me when it was ever officially announced that there was a Flash script that had Cyborg in it. Bonus points if it also had Thomas Wayne in it. You can't be "written out" of something you were never IN to start with.

JESUS.

Next it will be "Keaton being written out of potential Batman Beyond movie."

*frank_one* · 01-06-2021, 03:18 PM

I am being written out of the movie. My imaginary dog is being written out as well.

Right?!

That was another clickbait headline like two days ago I'm shocked nobody here mentioned. Someone falsely reported that Keaton was gonna be starring as Batman in a bunch of upcoming DC movies. Nothing behind it, but it got a lot of people talking for like, a day and change, before someone at WB came out and said they absolutely never said that and people were just running with rumors and out-of-context quotes, as usual. So no, Keaton's not doing anything but a cameo in the Flash movie, but for like two days almost it was "OMG dOOd did you hear Keaton's gonna be in a bunch of Batman movies OMFG yaaaaassss!"

Same sh*t, basically.

Meanwhile, I "got fired" from WWE. I don't work there anymore. I never worked there to start with, but... I definitely don't work there now.

I got "written out" of storylines I was never written into.

"News".

I actually think my point is pretty strong.

But I don't have a link to a site that has proof of Cyborg ever being in Flash. I don't think it was ever officially confirmed, just rumored. I don't think Deadline, Variety, or HW reporter said anything about it and they are usually the ones to look to.

Exactly. The "headline" is a lie to attract attention. What's worse, I've seen the exact same headline repeated at least a half-dozen times today BUT every article pretty much says the exact same thing within the body text - "Fisher's involvement with 'The Flash' has never actually been confirmed, only rumored" - which is a fancy way of saying "Yeah, the headline that brought you here was a Complete Lie, but thanks, we get paid for your clicks."

I have no doubt that there were TALKS at one point, just like I've been "in talks" to be brought into any number of wrestling promotions that didn't pan out for one reason or other. But the fact remains, I wasn't "written out", we never came to terms in the first place. It's the exact same thing. To report "Ray Fisher was fired from The Flash movie" is irresponsible because we have nothing but rumor to suggest he was ever even IN the movie.

Pedantic? Perhaps. But again, Words Matter. And I don't like lies being given headlines and smeared all over the landscape for the viewing pleasure of an increasingly-gullible and functionally-illiterate public. It's a big reason why most people on the internet are Huge Retards nowadays. They have no reading comprehension and nobody forces 'em to learn any.

An acceptable headline would be, "Ray Fisher No Longer Being Considered For Role in 'The Flash' Movie". That headline adheres to The Facts As We Know Them and avoids trading in rumors and hearsay. Which is what "journalists" are supposed to do. BUT, it's not as "juicy".

Remember all those "Henry Cavill Fired From Being Superman" headlines from almost two years ago? Turns out they weren't true, either, and The Truth was more like, "Creative Has Nothing For You Right Now". But he was never "fired" from being Superman, they just didn't write any more movies for him while at the same time they were negotiating a new contract, which is an entirely different thing. Yet that's the headline people ran with, "He Got Fired", and I still see people repeating it to this day, in some places. Stuff like this breeds ignorance, and that's why it can't be ignored. Words Matter.

I know the fight is lost and Everything Is Clickbait, now, but I'll be damned if I'm going to just ignore it. Personally, if I had written the article(s) and I saw that "Written Out" headline on top of it, I would request they either change the headline or demand they take my name off of it.

Seriously, Every Single Thing about "news" nowadays is the exact opposite of what they teach you in school. And it's all because websites are not legally bound to report "facts only" and can get away with posting rumors as "news". AND they don't have to post retractions if and when they're proven incorrect. They take advantage of legal loopholes to push false narratives and keep people ignorant. It's gross and it's annoying. ALL "news" is no different from tabloids nowadays. We mock The Enquirer out loud but spend all our time getting our "news" from websites that have the Exact Same Standards and operate no differently. It's stupid.

Anyway. You can't "lose" a job you never really had. So the people who insist on using that specific headline deserve to get f*cked in the face. End of story.

“I have received official confirmation that Warner Bros. Pictures has decided to remove me from the cast of The Flash,” Fisher began. “I strongly disagree with their decision, but it is one that is unsurprising. Despite the misconception, Cyborg’s involvement in The Flash was much larger than a cameo—and while I do mourn the lost opportunity to bring Victor Stone back to the screen, bringing awareness to the actions of Walter Hamada will prove to be a much more important contribution to our world.”

Since Ezra crossed over with TV Flash, I'm hoping, no I know it. We're already switching characters around so why not just do this and bring the greatest original character do not steal from the Arrowverse Felicity into DCEU canon

Felicity isn't original she was in Firestorm Comics as Firestorm's stepmom I think. Good thing DC doesn't listen to odd ducks like you.

As Le Champion would say

~~AquaParade~~ · 01-14-2021, 12:10 AM

So Cyborg really was in Flash lmao.
