The Flash: Born To Run — The first movie of the Flash trilogy

Image by Andrew Gong

Project 1: The Flash: Born To Run

This would be the first movie of The Flash trilogy, inspired by the novel of the same name. Totally conceptual. (Yes, I did write this whole thing myself.)

Act 1: The Weight of the Mantle

A year after Barry Allen’s death, Wally West is still wearing his Kid Flash suit, desperately trying to protect Central City solo. He intercepts Captain Cold and Mirror Master robbing the Central City Museum. Wally saves the civilians but is overwhelmed by the villains until Elongated Man (Ralph Dibny) steps in to bail him out. Before Ralph can console or talk to him, Wally flees in a flash of lightning.

Wally retreats to his apartment near CCPD, treating his burns and ignoring a stack of unopened letters from his grieving family (Iris, his cousins, and Barry's parents). He works at an auto repair shop to make ends meet. While working, he shares a warm, grounding interaction with his close friend, FBI profiler Hunter Zolomon.

Their moment is shattered by an emergency police broadcast—Cobalt Blue (Malcolm Thawne) has mysteriously returned from the dead. Wally's blood runs cold at the name.

Act 2: Broken and Rebuilt

Flashback: One year ago. The skies turn red as a blue fire erupts. Cobalt Blue attempts to travel back in time to murder Barry as a child. Saying a tearful, final goodbye to Wally, Barry Allen uses his Speed Force to trigger a massive explosion, seemingly destroying both himself and Malcolm to save reality. (For evidence of this being possible, see Smallville Season 11 #12)

Back in the present, Wally tracks down Cobalt Blue. The battle is a disaster. Malcolm brutally taunts Wally for failing Barry’s legacy, steals Wally’s speed, and leaves him and a dozen policemen broken in the dirt before speeding off. As his friend is taken to the hospital to heal his shattered knee, Wally realizes his current training and mindset aren't enough.

Wally secures legal permission (as Kid Flash) to visit Iron Heights. He seeks out August Heart (Godspeed). August is no longer a maniacal killer; he is cold, pragmatic, and reformed. August delivers a harsh truth: "You're failing because you're trying to be Barry. You need to be yourself." August trains Wally, pushing his limits to unlock new Speed Force abilities like afterimages and lightning constructs, along with potentially learning the Infinite Mass Punch.

Act 3: Outrunning the Past

The skies turn blood red again as Cobalt Blue opens another time vortex: this time to erase the entire Flash Family from history. Wally and Godspeed team up to intercept him. Malcolm overpowers them, severely injuring August. As Malcolm prepares to deliver a killing blow to Godspeed, Wally snaps.

Shedding his mental blocks and Barry's shadow, Wally pushes himself faster than he has ever gone. Moving at impossible speeds, he blitzes Malcolm, shattering Cobalt Blue's mystical blue talisman with the Infinite Mass Punch and permanently severing his connection to the Negative Speed Force through it. (Think JLU Wally vs Brainiac/Luthor)

A week later, Wally visits August in prison to thank him. August tells him Barry would be proud. Wally responds that Barry would have been happy to see his friend act like a hero again. Finally at peace, Wally goes back to Barry's old house and begins to reconnect with his Aunt Iris and his family.

On the one-year anniversary of Barry's death, Central City unveils a public monument to Barry Allen. Iris West gives a moving speech, reminding the world that even though her husband is gone, Central City still has a hero. On her cue, trailing brilliant silver lightning, Wally speeds into the frame wearing his brand-new Flash costume, finally embracing his destiny as the Flash.

Questions? Concerns? Confessions (lol)?

Hear me out: the Flash should be introduced as a video game and theatrically released TV series. Prolly not how you think.

Ninjago Anime Suggestion

Hear me out on this, because I’ve been thinking about it non-stop.

What if we got a Ninjago remake anime, with stylized human designs for the ninja?

They'd use a hybrid audio approach, pulling from the original voice tracks from back in the day and blending them with modern audio to fill the gaps.

They could start with the pilot season to test the waters and see how the demand is.

But honestly, if they do this, they absolutely have to keep the original voice mistakes. If they don't include Wu's "Father would not want you to do this, brother," I don't want it.

The main question stands: what animation should they use? I can't decide between Arcane's 3D, the Avatar Aang movie's, or Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man's.

As a Member of the Council, I ask this: a truce when Avengers Doomsday comes out to help our OG, Tobey Maguire?

We did it against Lesbian Space Princess, can we do it for him?

u/Born_Temperature_571 — 1 month ago

Step 4 has been announced!!! We are getting real uniforms!

The top comment on YT will be made real, with half the money going to a children's hospital, and the other half to a dog shelter.

Suggestions?

Currently, we have:

  • Keychains
  • Council Hoodies (red)
  • Swag jutsu shirts

Tobey vs Fox X-Men: Will anyone help him, and will he survive?

https://x.com/thelegacyofnerd/status/2086470305967423910

Here's the thing:

All of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man villains cure works retroactively with their deaths.

  • Doc Ock was pulled right before he could have killed Tobey in Spider-Man 2 at the end. He still turned good in both events and probably sacrificed himself then
  • Norman was Norman Osborn when he died. Admittedly, when he returned at the end of NWH, he was in a different costume (which may put a dent in my theory), but it was Norman who returned, not Green Goblin, meaning his death would have stayed the same if he was pulled from when he died.

(Edit: Either it worked retroactively or it created alternate timelines. Either way, Tobey would've returned to the universe where they died.)

  • Sandman is the only one who was pulled from the present day, and without his powers, can't do anything.
  • Venom is from a different universe, along with Lizard and Electro.

However, it is possible that he isn't the only hero in his universe.

  • It has been popularly theorized since Spider-Man 2 that Thomas Jane's Punisher could be in the same universe.
  • In Spider-Man 2, when trying to name Doctor Octopus, Hoffman suggests "Doctor Strange." Jameson replies, "That's pretty good... but it's taken!" so it's entirely possible he exists as well (I would cast Joaquin Phoenix, as he backed off due to a multi-movie commitment, while having him only in Doomsday/Secret Wars would probably be enough)
  • The Daredevil movie came out right before Spider-Man 2, and due to the aesthetic/tone of the movie could be in the same universe.
    • Elektra is a direct spin-off of this, meaning it would be in the same universe by default.
      • The Elektra seen in Deadpool and Wolverine could be a variant of that same one, along with Johnny Storm, Blade, and X-23
  • The 2003 Hulk could be in the same universe with the same reasons as DD and Elektra.
  • Anne Hathaway's Black Cat from the cancelled Spider-Man 4 could be in the Defenders (assuming the events of the movie happened in-universe).

If this happened, I would say that when Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man returned after NWH, he may have been inspired by his teamwork with the other Peters and Peter-1's Avengers team that he found other vigilantes and anti-heroes to form a team to fight threats no one else could handle: the Defenders.

Scenario 1:

When the X-Men arrive on Earth-96213, they are met with just Spider-Man, who puts up the most legendary fight we've seen in Spider-Man cinema history, but inevitably loses, either dying with his world or being saved by Loki/the TVA.

Scenario 2:

When the X-Men arrive on Earth-96213, they are met with Spider-Man, Punisher, Hulk, Daredevil, Elektra, Black Cat, and Doctor Strange. Their fight is incredibly fierce, but due to Cyclops's laser vision, Earth-96213 is inevitably destroyed, with the Defenders either surviving due to Loki/the TVA or dying with their home.

Here is how I would have done the TASMverse, integrating it into the MCU

The Amazing Spider-Man (TASM1)

  • Plot: Follows the core plot of the original, with one major addition: Harry Osborn is introduced early as Peter’s close friend who is already suffering from his terminal genetic illness.
  • Key Changes: Establishes the foundation of Harry’s desperation across two films so his eventual turn feels earned rather than rushed.
  • Post-Credits Scene: Teases Max Dillon’s quiet, lonely life at home and his obsessed fan-fixation on Spider-Man before his accident.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (TASM2)

  • Plot: Peter and Gwen maintain a stable relationship. Peter abandons the investigation into his parents. The spider bite worked for Peter and not for Harry only because of pure chance of having compatible DNA. The film features Mary Jane Watson as the neighbor next door with an abusive father and includes Richard Parker’s return.
  • Climax: Gwen Stacy’s clock-tower fall still occurs, leaving Peter completely broken.
  • Post-Credits Scene: Max transforms into Electro, setting him up as a major threat for the next film.

The Amazing Spider-Man 3 (April 2016)

  • Plot: Consumed by grief and holding back less in fights, Peter encounters and bonds with the Oscorp-made symbiote in the first fight against Electro. Driven by aggression, he begins dating Black Cat, who embraces Spider-Man's darkness.
  • Conflict: Electro emerges as a massive physical force that drives Peter to rely heavily on the living suit.
  • Resolution: MJ—still unaware of Spider-Man's identity—serves as Peter's moral anchor and helps him reject the symbiote.
  • Ending: Concludes with Peter and MJ sharing the iconic upside-down kiss, hinting at a fresh start.
  • Post-credits scene: Peter returns home to find Aunt May talking with Tony Stark, who tells Peter "I need your help with something."

The A̶m̶a̶z̶i̶n̶g̶ Superior Spider-Man 4̶ (January 2018)

  • Plot: Adapting the Superior Spider-Man arc, Doc Ock uses Oscorp neural technology to swap bodies with Peter. Otto operates as a brutal, hyper-efficient Spider-Man while battling the Vulture.
  • Villain Dynamics:
    • Doc Ock (Primary Driver): Otto serves as the central thematic threat, hijacking Peter's life, intellect, and reputation while attempting to prove he is a better hero.
    • The Vulture (Physical Obstacle): Adrian Toomes provides high-flying blockbuster action, serving as the benchmark that highlights Otto’s cold, unyielding brutality compared to Peter's merciful nature.
  • Resolution: During a high-stakes climax, Vulture captures Mary Jane. Otto's cold, analytical approach fails him when he realizes his calculated methods cannot save her—he lacks the heart, instinct, and love that make Peter Parker Spider-Man. Realizing Peter is truly the "Superior" Spider-Man, Otto willingly relinquishes control, giving Peter his body back so Peter can save MJ, dying in the process. Peter rescues MJ, but is left to repair the damaged relationships and public reputation Otto left in his wake.
  • Suit Change: Having liked aspects of Otto's design, Peter updates his costume to a sharp red-and-black palette with a very subtle blue tint—a direct homage to Spider-Man's original comic book color scheme.
  • Post-Credits Scene 1: Teases the symbiote being secured by military forces during the post-Snap chaos, setting up Agent Venom: The Lethal Protector.
  • Post-Credits Scene 2: Tony Stark receives Otto’s discarded Superior Spider-Man suit at Avengers Facility. Examining the dark tech, Stark casually comments, "Not bad... but it needs some gold," teasing the development of the Iron Spider suit for Infinity War (with a comic accurate appearance, while still nanotech)

[Interlude Film] Agent Venom: The Lethal Protector (February 2019)

  • Plot: A standalone spin-off focusing on Flash Thompson bonding with the symbiote under government oversight during the chaos caused by the Snap, redeeming the synthetic host as a tactical force for good.

The Amazing Spider-Man 5: Smoke and Mirrors (October 2020)

  • Plot: Mysterio and The Jackal team up to wage psychological and biological warfare on Peter. Mysterio creates illusions—including a fake resurrected "Gwen Stacy" to torment Peter that she didn't return in the events of Endgame and sow doubt in his relationship with MJ—while Jackal deploys biological duplicates.
  • Villain Dynamics:
    • Mysterio (Psychological Mastermind): Controls the narrative through holographic mind games and grief-targeting illusions, forcing Peter to question his sanity and reality.
    • The Jackal (Biological Threat): Provides the physical genetic horror, engineering clone duplicates and creating Ben Reilly.
  • Climax: Peter battles his literal clone, Ben Reilly, alongside Mysterio's mind games.
  • Post-Credits Scene: Teases the survival of a second, darker clone—Kaine—setting up the TV spin-off.

[TV Series] The Scarlet Spiders (Fall 2020)

  • Plot: A serialized, darker anti-hero series focusing on Ben Kaine as they navigates their own identities, redemption, and legacy separate from Peter Parker.

The Amazing Spider-Man 6: The Last Stand (May 2022)

  • Plot: The ultimate grand finale. A fully formed Sinister Six—Electro, Mysterio, Jackal, Green Goblin, Vulture, and Carnage (arising after the events of Agent Venom)—unites to tear New York apart in the hunt for Spider-Man.
  • Villain Dynamics & Roles:
    • Green Goblin (Harry Osborn): The Mastermind who funds, equips, and coordinates the Six out of personal vengeance.
    • Mysterio & Jackal: The Strategists who use crowd-control illusions and bio-tactics to turn Manhattan into a war zone.
    • Electro & Vulture: The Heavy Hitters who provide raw power and aerial dominance, forcing the heroes to split up.
    • Carnage: The Unhinged Wildcard—an alien apex predator that led to the creation of the Venom symbiote by Oscorp, creating chaos that neither side can fully control.
  • Climax: Donning the rugged Last Stand suit and new organic webs, Peter leads a heroic trio alongside Agent Venom and Scarlet Spider to defeat the Six.
  • Ending: Peter puts the lingering ghosts of his past to rest, fully resolves the doubts between himself and MJ, and cements their future together.

The Amazing Spider-Man 7: Brand New Day (January 2024)

  • Plot: Years after The Last Stand, Peter Parker (now in his early 30s) balances a quieter life with MJ while operating as New York's primary defender. A teenage Miles Morales is bitten by an altered Oscorp spider and seeks out Peter for guidance.
  • Conflict: Mr. Negative unleashes a war for control of New York's underworld using his Darkforce corruption, while Ezekiel Sims arrives as a enigmatic mystic warning Peter and Miles of "Spider-totem" threats.
  • Dynamic: Peter takes on a father-figure/mentor role, teaching Miles how to control his venom blasts and camouflage powers while fighting off Mr. Negative's inner-demon enforcers.
  • Post-Credits Scene: Miles's uncle, Aaron Davis, is seen monitoring Oscorp weapon shipments, dropping hints about his alter-ego.

The Amazing Spider-Men 8: Matters of Life and Death (January 2026)

  • Plot: Miles fully steps into his role as Spider-Man alongside Peter, but his worlds collide when he discovers his beloved uncle Aaron is The Prowler, working as a high-tech thief for corporate underworld buyers.
  • Conflict: Miles faces the personal agony of fighting his own family member while Peter tries to keep Miles from making the same rage-driven mistakes he made after losing Uncle Ben and Gwen.
  • Resolution: Aaron sacrifices his freedom (or life) to protect Miles after learning his nephew is Spider-Man, leaving Miles heartbroken but fully committed to the hero's responsibility.
  • Post-Credits Scene: A master of disguise slips out of an FBI holding facility—teasing Dmitri Smerdyakov, the Chameleon.

The Amazing Spider-Man 9: Identity Crisis (May 2028)

  • Plot: The final chapter of Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man saga. Chameleon uses hyper-advanced disguise technology and psychological warfare to frame both Spider-Men for crimes, backed by the brute force of The Enforcers.
  • Conflict: Chameleon attempts to destroy Peter Parker's public reputation and destroy his home life with MJ, forcing Peter to rely on Miles to outsmart an enemy who can look like anyone.
  • Resolution: Peter and Miles defeat the Chameleon. Knowing his city is in good hands, a battle-weary Peter officially hangs up his mask to start a family with MJ, passing the mantle of New York's primary Spider-Man entirely to Miles Morales.
  • Post-Credits Scene: Miles receives an encrypted hologram transmission from Kamala Khan asking, "Has anyone ever told you you're part of a bigger universe?"

  • Conflict: Mr. Negative unleashes a war for control of New York's underworld using his Darkforce corruption, while Ezekiel Sims arrives as a enigmatic mystic warning Peter and Miles of "Spider-totem" threats.
  • Dynamic: Peter takes on a father-figure/mentor role, teaching Miles how to control his venom blasts and camouflage powers while fighting off Mr. Negative's inner-demon enforcers.

The Amazing Spider-Men 8: Matters of Life and Death (January 2026)

Will they remember, will they not? (Spoiler warning!)

Evidence for not remembering

  1. >!MJ explicitly confirmed she does not remember Peter.!<
  2. >!Ned’s interaction is muscle memory & deduction, not restored memory!<
  3. >!When Ned exclaims "Peter!" at the end of the handshake at the end of the movie, context suggests he is connecting clues (MJ let it slip that Spider-Man’s real name is Peter)!<
  4. >!No known mechanism is introduced that explicitly breaks or counters Doctor Strange’s spell.!<

Evidence for remembering

  1. >!Immediately upon finishing the handshake, Ned looks up in shock and exclaims, "Peter!" In No Way Home, Ned first discovered his ability to channel the same magic as Strange right after performing that exact handshake, so it's possible it loosened the spell.!<
  2. >!MJ is seen crying on the rooftop of Midtown High—their high school hangout spot—while tightly gripping the broken Black Dahlia necklace Peter bought her in Europe.!<
  3. >!MJ also confided in Ned that she feels like she is constantly "waiting for something" and feels unable to commit to major life decisions or her new relationship.!<
  4. >!When Peter, Ned, and MJ hang out in the apartment building Lego sets, they fall back into their exact banter and inside jokes without missing a beat. This reveals that while the cognitive labels were wiped, the underlying relational neural pathways remain intact, at least partially.!<

I personally believe that the emotions are slowly returning, and the memories will return by the end of Spider-Man 5. What do you guys think?

My thoughts on the Chrysalis Arc thus far and what it means for the future of Solarballs

  1. I absolutely love how Solarballs is going back to answer some older questions! I was waiting for Chrysalis to be done after being teased in "the Solar System trial" and "Why does Saturn have rings?"
  2. &gt;!While I didn't like Sedna's attitude to Titania in the most recent episode, it's nice to get to see her again. I hope we get more of the dwarf planets and their moons!<
  3. While I don't know for sure, I did some research (looked up on google) what caused Chrysalis to be destroyed, and it looks like it was >!Titan's fault. However, I don't think he did it intentionally.!<
  4. Since the Rogue Saga has ended, I think that Solarballs (after concluding the Chrysalis Arc) will move to either (in no ranking):
    1. More hypothetical objects, specifically Vulcan, (since there is a sign made by the Sun warning about the Roche Limit) Nemesis, (since we saw another star at the end of the Rouge Saga) or a potential Planet 5. See here for more hypothetical Solar System objects
    2. The Centauri Arc, focusing on Rigil Kentaurus, Toliman, Proxima Centauri, and their planets.
    3. Ceres Arc. I don't have much to say on the matter, but he definitely has a history worth elaborating on
    4. Triton Arc. We still don't fully know his own original history or his binary partner (who I would call Rhodos if we go with a sibling approach or Libya if romantic like Pluto and Charon)
    5. Dwarf Moons Arc. We've only seen one Dwarf moon, (Charon) but there are so many more! Where are they?
    6. Dinosaur Arc, told by Astrodude to his son. It would also lead to Who Killed the Dinosaurs?
    7. Uranus Impactor Arc. Since there has been stories regarding collisions, this one makes sense to do next (explaining why he is reluctant to explore the Moon Killer if he remembers it)
    8. Black Hole Arc. See here for more information.
    9. Deep Biosphere Arc. I have no idea how they would do this, but it would be cool to see.
    10. The Martian Moons Arc. We still don't know how Phobos and Deimos were captured by Mars.
    11. An ET Arc, based on Sibo, Martian life, or Venusian life. IDK.
    12. The answers to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg2UkPk9oCs

Solarpunk economics and politics: what is used?

I'm new to the solarpunk world, and am curious about the economics and politics. Any answers to these questions would be very much appreciated.

Is the economics based on green capitalism that used GPI instead of GDP or eco-socialism? What I currently know is that it uses a circular economy.

Is there still government in solarpunk? If so, how does it differ to today?

Does solarpunk still allow for a global community or any form of centralisation? I know there is a heavy emphasis on decentralisation and grassroots, but in some areas of the world that don't have easy access to water, surely some centralisation and businesses are required, right?

Wishing you a good rest of your day (whenever you see this post)

When the Old World Calls for More (The New World's Children) - A self-made prophecy

When the old world reaches far,
When it scars its oldest star,
When the hands that shaped the throne
Crack the bedrock to the bone.

When the children yet unborn
Rise to curse the day they're born,
When tomorrow finds its voice,
Then the ages make their choice.

When the kings have named their price,
When the prophets bargain twice,
When the crowns are forged from shame,
None shall dare to speak their name.

Then the order, built on stone,
Finds it stood on dust alone.
Every empire, every wall,
Learns at last how giants fall.

Then the banners black as night
Gather for a final fight.
Every hatred ever sown,
Every tyrant, every throne.

Greed will march beside Despair,
Pride and Fear will both be there.
Every evil history knew
Comes to claim what still is true.

Yet against that endless sea
Stands the souls with nothing free.
Not a sword within their hands,
Not an army at their command.

No bright armor, no disguise,
No deception, no lies.
Only every wound they've earned,
Only every bridge they've burned.

Everything that's loved in sight.
Everything to lose that night.
Nothing left to shield their names.
Nothing left except the flames.

And the wise will turn away,
Certain darkness wins the day.
For what hope can young soul saves
Standing at the world's own grave?

But remember, when they tell
How the highest heavens fell:
Worlds are broken not by war,
But by reaching one step more.

Past will claim what Past has sown.
Future gathers what has grown.
When those two at last agree,
None can halt what comes to be.

Mark this hour. Mark this breath.
Life will stand and answer Death.
When the old world calls for more,
The new world's children will close the door.

Hear me out: The TV show should have done these instead

  1. Wally West (redhead) is on Earth-2 and trained by "Jay," and Zoom (who uses the Still Force) killed his uncle Barry. He dons a red and black bodysuit with a yellow Absolute Flash-inspired jacket with a red double-jagged lightning bolt in the front and back (with a red circle on the back)
  2. Wallace is referred to as "Ace," and is the son of Daniel West.
  3. Flashpoint goes on for half the season and we actually get Thomas Wayne in it, (or Robert Queen instead) along with Savitar being the Flashpoint-native Barry Allen, the counterpart to Wally as the Flash
  4. No "We are The Flash"
  5. The Thinker uses the Sage Force
  6. Nora is slightly more mature and is Jenni Ognats instead, arriving with Bart Allen
  7. No Girl-Cicada
  8. Godspeed is the villain of Season 6
  9. Barry dies in Crisis (Crisis includes the events of Barry going back in time to 2000 and Armageddon + becoming the lightning bolt that struck him in 2014)
  10. We get Kevin Conroy as Batman in Crisis
  11. After Crisis, Wally and Ace both are on the same Earth, and Wally becomes the new Flash, with Ace as Kid Flash
  12. Eddie comes back as Cobalt Blue, but he is possessed by the NSF instead, leading to the return of Barry, who is retired afterwards
  13. We get a lore-accurate Max Mercury and Avery Ho in the last season, with the birth of the Tornado Twins
  14. Cisco stays
  15. Iris is written better
  16. We get a Reverse-Flash spinoff series with OG Barry
  17. The suit order for Barry goes:
  18. S5 suit with gold lines and better cowl (no chinstrap, just a thinner cowl) for S1-2 to match the OG Silver Age origin
  19. S3 suit with brighter red and gold emblem (same season)
  20. S9 suit (S4-Crisis) with a leather torso
  21. S4 suit with more fabric-y arms and legs + golden boots and metal armor (basically the best parts of DCEU JL Flash suit and S4 suit mixed together w/ golden boots)
  22. Jay Garrick is in the JSA post-Crisis (being featured in Legends of Tomorrow)
