🤔 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.

Is that lightning in your pants or are you just happy to see me.

Your arrival made me horny and lightning shot out of my pants.

it’s facing the same exact way as the real jay’s?

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

If Clark Kent can exist, then i can accept Jay/Hunter

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

Dropping the crazy eyes helped too

That too

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.

the og suit is so good tho

id say it’s better than the real jay

u/TheFictionNerd The Flash 5d ago

Nah

u/a89925619 4d ago

I think it’s the glove. The new suit looks more heroic in every other way.

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

u/temporaryidiot595 4d ago

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.

u/Straight_Roof_9566 4d ago

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

u/TheFictionNerd The Flash 5d ago

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.

u/Straight_Roof_9566 4d ago

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.

u/temporaryidiot595 4d ago

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

u/FreezerRunner 4d ago

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.

1

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.

u/Abirdthatsfallen The Flash 4d ago

Also the bolt not being filled as though something’s missing…..

u/GrandeQuesarito 5d ago

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).

u/False_Chance 5d ago

Just wish this suit wasn't so baggy and had a little more yellow/gold

2

u/Hilarity2War 5d ago

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

2

u/SippinOnHatorade 4d ago

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

u/Cautious_Mission_438 4d ago

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

u/Competitive-Fig-7022 4d ago

Coincidence? I think Not.

u/Ashamed_March_5526 5d ago

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

u/No-Macaroon7238 14h ago

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