There’s a reason for it, you just gotta wait for the show to explain it in future episodes.
Ohoooo shit… the possibilities are endless with Flash now that “Earth 2” and the concept of multiple parallel worlds is a thing this season…it just hit me that yeah…–what if Zoom turns out to be Earth 2 Joe West??? :wow: Or…the Earth 2 version of his biological father!!! Yeah I’m betting it will indeed be someone who is already at least visually familiar to them… Joe or perhaps… the Earth 2 Eddie Thawne…(*isn’t that actor on another show now? I think I saw him in Quantico? Priyanka whatever her name is one of the hottest women in the history of television, btw)
From the scenes that involve him…this guy seems a bit more buff than the guy playing Eddie was though… so…probably Earth 2 Joe West. —or maybe they will go ahead with someone totally new and make it “Hunter Zoloman” character, which is the correct Zoom according to the comics…?
If Zoom is Earth 2 Joe West then he has some serious UNR issues.
I watched it again and damn, Zoom got the moves.
Damn. Just damn the beat down was brutal. Even worse he gave him the Beatdown Pro Tour 2015 Zoom Style. Also we need good cosplay of Zoom beating on every Flash at any comic book con.
Zoom be like
I also love the sound for zooms speed too. It even sounds faster than barrys sound effects.
I’m hoping Jay comes back with the quickness, after witnessing that beat down being televised everywhere.
Speaking of, I think they have to start gearing up for the crossover…it would be hilarious if Rip Hunter just plucks them all from the middle of an amazing battle.

Hawkman looks like he stole Wolverine’s mask so he could cosplay as Night Owl
That still makes you realize just how ridiculous most of the tv-verse costumes look.
Ollie the only one that doesn’t look like a complete idiot lol
Zoom was nice tho. Like a Demonic Flash
Im trying to figure out how Diggle see’s in that Swagneto helmet. In a fight, my goal against him would be to nudge it ever so slightly in any possibly direction, so he could no longer see.
I know, they gotta have some sort of important use in the future, because they look weird as fuck here.
If you watch the next week teaser for Flash, you can see Flash isn’t crippled, so he has that going for him after getting embarrassed on a public level.
edit: also, nobody noticed when Wells was watching TV, E2 Green Arrow is Ollie’s dad?
wally was faster than barry but mentally stopped himself from being faster because he didnt want to destroy his memory of barry. this was after barry died i believe.
lol@ patty calling joe barrys dad. did no one notice that?
if this is truly the merger of wally…everyone knew who the flash was. wally wasnt a secret.
I knew i fucked up when i clicked into this thread. Too hyped to wait for this episode tonight, everyone’s reactions is hella heightening my anticipation.
if you’re working, shitty deal
if not, go stream that sumbitch right now!
Fuck!!! This show is > WWE
