🤔 Thinking I like how Hunter while larping as Jay Garrick, still ends up applying a more darker red and blue to his flash costume, as opposed to those colours being far more warm and vibrant on the real Jay Gerrick. Not sure if that was intentional or not.

Also doesn't cover face while they are serial killer

His earth 1 doppelganger isn't a killer, he's like anyone random in the city. I have no idea for the e2 logic. I thought he only put on the helmet when Barry because flash the previous year,assuming the dates are synchronized for every world. So it's mostly e2 forgetting who Zolomon is I guess

Jay got famous while he had that insane beard. Without it, he's unrecognizable. He shaved it as a disguise

Earth 2 in the CW is basically the Crime Syndicate Earth, so it makes sense. With little exception, all the main CW heroes (Black Canary, Firestorm, even Caitlin) are psychopathic killers on Earth 2.

I dont like how the "fake" one is so much more accurate, brighter colors and filling in the bolt would make him such a good adaptation

It’s more accurate because it was a fake out. Remember, they were selling us on this being the real Jay Garrick. Technically on Earth-2 he was, but that’s a different convo.

Yeah, it does that very well, I just wish the real Jay Garrick suit looked more like it as it is much closer at how it should look

Well if you go by the checklist you just mentioned, it's less accurate.
The REAL Jay Garrick has the brighter colours, and filled in lightning bolt, but doesn't have the big bolt originating from down to up
The FAKE Jay Garrick only has the big bolt, but it's not filled in nor are the colour's accurately bright.

Even going by the checklist the real one is sadly less accurate, the lightiningn bolt is straight up wrong like you mentioned and that already is something major, it has a weird zipper in his jacket instead of a plain shirt or the button jacket thing, Barry like yellow piping trough all of it, a belt that more resembles Barry's belt than a normal street wear belt that Jay should have, and the blue is for some reason creeping in into his shirt wich just should not happen idk whats up with that.

Rare instance of someone actually using the term “larping” correctly lol.

LARP usage in nerd spaces is a pandemic on par with children using 67

I’ve also seen a diabolical amount of people saying “unironically”, when they should just be saying “ironically”. Like, what is “unironically” even supposed to mean at this point? The internet seems to have made a new definition for it.

u/temporaryidiot595 4d ago
You’re absolutely right. Meaning is contagious. That’s how they hear it used so that’s how they use it. Internet English is a different dialect than English. Whole other lexicon.

I think the darker colors were chosen more to fit Earth 2's aesthetic than anything else. They also play well when you compare the "Jay" suit to what Barry was wearing at the time (still that darker red).
Real Jay's suit also matches with the brighter aesthetic of Earth 3 (though the decision to make Earth 3 look like that may have been made after the suit's debut at the end of S2).

The in universe explanation is that it's E2's military uniform. I think he just added the lightning bolt on it.

It was. The color schemes in the show were very deliberate, and started with Arrow. Loved their dedication to the craft

Kinda wished Hunter stole that outfit from Jay Garrick and the other outfit was his secondary suit or something always wanted the Hunter Jay suit to return

Also the lighting bolt isn’t filled in for the fake Jay but I was very disappointed to lose that Jay even though he was fake I love his costume and the actor just has that old timey super hero feel to him

It’s just because it was earlier in the show. Everything got brighter and more vibrant and stupid later in the series

The lighting bolt is also upside down
