I really like that the ultimate universe so far doesn’t feel edgy or particularly angsty. The setting feels more dark and hostile but the hero’s so far are still kind and the art is more violent then it is dark.
Im hype for this and Green Lantern based on the creative teams! Love Lemire's work. Got to step it up on my Absolute DC videos they were you are putting them together.
Yea, I’d love to hear your thoughts on everything coming up. Did you get to hear any of it firsthand at NYCC? That would be some cool additional perspective to hear about in a video
The romours about the lack of speed force may have to do with the act the absolute universe is a universe built entirely off of darksied himself and was completely disconnected from the entire dc mutliverse at one point they actually mentioned it as elseworld prime so maybe instead of the speed force that's connected to the entire mutliverse this is some sort of darksied energy alternative due to the fact it's a universe built solely off of darksied energy
It opens up a lot of possibilities. I’m looking forward to see how everything fits together. I’m not a huge Flash fan, but the Absolute Universe is getting me excited about a lot of characters I don’t usually care too much about.
Its actually pretty understandable why its Wally rather than Barry a big part of the reason Wally arguably surpassed and became an equal was because of Barrys mentorship and he and Iris pretty much raised him and take away his entire support system hes at a disadvantage with no one to help guide him

@WhatsUpWOLF maybe I mean they was over using injustice batman and nothing interesting was really happening so I'm kinda glad they did this. I might be wrong but I feel like dark metal was there last big successful comic where most fans was pleased before they brought it back for whatever reason. Again I might be wrong I think titians had some good stuff going on for awhile
Personally, I like this series the most. The Speed force these days is just a McGiffin or Dues Ax Machina. It’s so vaguely defined that writers use it to hand-wave whatever they’re doing. After a while it get hard to take a Flash story seriously. Also, Jeff did “The New 52 Animal Man”. Which was a glorious horror story.
@@WhatsUpWOLF Yeah, I’m interested in a (original) Ultimate Spider-Man inspired horror story. Definitely feels like the story going be more experimental. I just hope they don’t screw this Flash over. (Like they did with Barry in ‘Flashpoint’ and Wally in ‘Heroes in Crisis’.)
I think flash will be one of the "Rogues" they give me a fantastic 4 vibe with the cold design that could be fun also i would like absolute fkash to just be a metahuman with superspeed no speed force to needlessly complicate rhe plot
That would be really cool. I really don’t feel like the Speed Force is a big loss. Complicated the plot and led to too many Flashes that diluted the brand. Nothing against the other speedsters, I just hope the AU keeps it at one.
That could be a fun intepretation of rogues, especially since they love wally in the main continuity either way, so making them be a part of same superhero team would be fire.
@@WhatsUpWOLF In actually glad he has no connection to speed force as well, tired of flash stories constantly being multiversal stories. Best Flash stories imo are those that have to do with the street lvl, not multiversal shenaningas.
Very excited to see what happens in absolute... Considering the condition of hope really having a hard go in this universe. I can see these heroes who are supposed to come together and form The League not doing that... Which is... Its like Xavier not forming the X-Men! Who do these Differently-abled people confide in? Because, you know the rarities of the world are coveted and captured or hunted down and destroyed. yeah
I’d be surprised if Snyder didn’t have them all team up at some point, but I hope it’s not too soon. They really need to build up the individual characters and the universe first. If it’s still around in five years (🤞) then they should have a team.
Love the content! However you really need to tone down the use of that “boom” sound effect that you’re using whenever you mention a new character or show a comic panel. It got really distracting throughout the video
I'm excited to see where this goes, but I'll literally take anything that doesn't butcher my boy. I do like the fact that the subversion of wally's character is his dad not being a deadbeat which is probably why barry isn't his mentor in this universe.
Was that bearded man confirmed to be his dad? I theorised it could be his grandfather or maybe a version of Barry that isn't superpowered but still cares for Wally.
Hey, I would just like to recommend that you remove the sounds from every transition, especially if you were going to have some back to back as it is distracting from what you’re actually saying
@@eyesore21 Rat tails were the thing when I was a kid. You know what that is? Shave off everything on the sides and just leave a little rat tail of hair in the back. I never had one, but maybe now is the right time to bring it back.
That might be part of it, I think the main thing is that the absolute universe is what’s popping. At least with whatever TH-cam has decided my audience is, so when I talk about other stuff I just have to expect that it won’t go off 🤷
@WhatsUpWOLF Trickster was my thought, also appears to be a female version of the character. Curious to see the take on the Rogues, they've always been some of my favorites!
@@scifiguy9000 In terms of looks, I think that's actually the closest. I dismissed him original because his triple jointed powers seemed to weird, but maybe they could make him work. But as a her this time probably. Looking closer it definitely looks like a woman.
@@WhatsUpWOLF Since this is different than main continuity where they were actually good guys if you think abt it, anti hero/anti villain type characters, then i think theres a good chance they're like bounty hunter type team and actually more evil.
@@WhatsUpWOLF They do but they give me some bounty hunter/suicide squad vibes, maybe they work for government and they want them to get wally cuz of his powers? Still could be anti heroes, kinda like venom was in ultimate spider man. We shall see i suppose, the one that has me hyped most is absolute GL, GL cuz Hal is my fav and Hal is also meant to be a main character along with Jo, meaning that he'd have just as much of screen time!
I have cool ideas for this flash Maybe he’s a teen that’s addicted to this energy drink that grants him super speed but only until the effects of the drink wear off. It could be like a story about the dangers of power and addiction, displaying the lengths people will go to, to maintain that power or keep their high going Another one I have is, maybe the speed force in this universe rapidly ages Wally every time he uses it. This could be something unique to this universe, because there’s no sliding timescales and you can experiment with linear story telling here. This could explore the more selfless aspect of being a hero, and demonstrate the sacrifice it takes to d the right thing.
@@beardupbeerdown7355 None of 'em popped out fully grown, so I don't think age would be an excuse not to use one or the other. They could have written any of them as a teen. Do you wish they'd used Jay instead? I feel like Wally is the most popular at the moment. (Then again, maybe not thanks to the CW. But in comics anyway.)
I'm still skeptical about this Universe just based on how Dark & Edgy New 52 lookig these characters look ( I'm not a Fan of Batman chopping off Hands , Wonder Woman chopping her hand iff , I'm afraid this bew Superman might hurt loid kr Destroy a city or sbap a nevk ) theee a lot about this universe that doesn't get me excited about wanting to read this and I'm worried that this Flash might hurt ot kill someone like i. heries i. Crusis . Like tell me that this universe wont pull a Ultimatum ( like the 2000s Ultimate Universe)
@WhatsUpWOLF I have a question why are all DC alternative Universes look so Dark & Depressing with Versions of the characters going all Kill crazy ? It's one of my problems getting into DC is they are too quick to Have their characters go Evil kill & Hurt their Rogues or innocent people or some one bad day crap and always centre around Batman.? It's the reason why since DC was making terrible movies like the DCEU and the injustice games just put me off from. Reading DC without feeling like it's going to be Grim Dark Mean Spirited versions of DC heroes ...it's a turn off for me because of Geoff Johns and the New 52. Like what makes me think this Absolute Universe won't pull a stupid New 52 or Watchmen Stuff make all the characters unlikable..like I don't like Batman chopping off hands or Wonder Woman chopping off arms like how are they the same as their Earth prime counterparts who don't chop up people?
Not impressed with the Absolute universe. Where is Batman hiding this tank when he is not using it? Darkseid needed his own Earth 3 universe… there was already an earth 3 universe. Ooo… Wonder Woman has a sword almost as big as herself when she is already as powerful as Superman. Why lord? Why? Oh… the one thing DC gets is big, flash and shock will sell (at first). They don’t get that consistently good strorytelling grows and strengthens a committed audience.
1. we haven't seen how the batmobile is introduced, so complaining about it before knowing what it's used for in the issue is silly. 2. The main DC universe is cut off from the multiverse as a result of Absolute Power, which causes Darkseid to feel a need to create his own universe. 3. Circe gave her her sword and other gear to prepare her to fight for the outside world. A lot of these issues that you're bringing up are ones that were already addressed in their stories or are stuff that are in issues that aren't released yet. Listen, I get being burnt out or hesitant towards the universe; but it's kinda foolish to rant about stuff that you seemingly don't know about. That's just my two cents tho
@ I hear you; however, DC has a pattern over the last decade or so of starting out with shock & awe (new 52, the metals, Reborn, etc…), then dropping the ball. Sometimes very hard (like please forget we introduced these things). So please, understand where my point originates o. This latest “big thing”
@@superioridiot3846 and we all have our two cents. You are more open and giving to the potential. DC has taken me down that road one too many times for me to offer that.

As for rationalizing/understnding Darkseid’s motives… not my thing. Evil is.
The main speed force in the absolute universe is the negative speed force. It's why absolute Wally has red lightning and he can't control it
That would open up some crazy possibilities 🤔 I like it!
And it makes him move super slow in stead of fast.
