1990 The Flash - The Trickster

I have finally got as far as the one episode of the Flash that somehow had to happen without the Flash in new canon. The Trickster. And I think I like it, on its own and as lightly edited backstory, even though they could not have made him more Joker Lite if they tried.

It has basically the same plot as Batman, the 1989 one.

Clown Prince of crime gets crush on vigilante superhero's girlfriend, parallel to the whole 'I made you? You made me first!' argument. With the resolution that it's no more the costumed vigilante's fault that costumed supervillains get nemesis-crushes on him than it is the lady's fault she gets a creepy stalker.

Trickster is super dark though. ( Read more... )

This episode has layers and parallels and stuff snout identity and I kind of want to dig into it more. Which is pretty new for this version of the Flash. A+ episode, considering.



Most eyewateringly awful appropriate to the character costumes ever though.

dancing achieved

I can do the dance to Twist and also the new dance we been working on since I turned up and I don't crash in to anyone and I mostly remember it and for bonus points I didn't need any extra sittings down.

I now appear to have done something slightly painful to my... side above my hip? maybe? somewhere slightly vague that only happens when I do an improbable sort of turn and lift. lovely.

and shopping didn't work very well. Five of five alive is only okay because I have a reserve built up, and there was no apple pastry put aside, which I am disproportionately :( about. also I didn't get the bread I wanted because it wasn't there. and a few other bits like that. silly frustrations.

but i have plenty of foods, yaays.

and I did dancing and I'm getting okay at it :-)
