Spoilers The Flash - Season 3

I'm a Superhero fan and like musicals. It's not really either or. TV musicals have become popular lately. It's much more than capturing the "Glee demographic". And for the record, I liked Glee too.
Have you met VIbe?
I see that and raise you:

Much like 80s Vibe, the musicals are a terrible gimmick that everyone will laugh at and wish didn't exist shortly after they happen. As for the character, Vibe is actually the only character that the New 52 comics improved, to the point where he was actually compelling and worked well. The Flash has also done Vibe well, although he's pretty different from both the original and New 52 versions.
Some, especially those who don't like the idea, may laugh and wish it didn't happen. But they were predisposed to hate it anyway. The shows boast some solid musical performers, so I think on that front people will be entertained.
Blanket statements about how everyone will react isn't going to help your argument. You might want to try a different tack..
Again, making a musical episode in a show it doesn't fit just because some of the actors were on a shitty musical show or did some stupid plays is idiotic. Also, I'm pretty sure the general audience for The Flash isn't there to watch a musical.
You're quite fond of the pejoratives aren't you? You should stop and think a bit before writing and hitting send.
Couldn't youve just said "Again, making a musical episode in a show it doesn't fit just because some of the actors were on a musical show or did some plays is makes no sense". Just because you dont like musicals doesn't make something shitty, stupid or idiotic. In fact the plays in question are highly regarded in theater circles and have won awards.
Royal pains had a decent Musical a few weeks back.
Oh.
This.
Oh.
This.
^ I don't think the King himself ever broke boards on stage.
What the fuck dude, Rent is not some stupid play. It was a well regarded, hugely popular musical that actually deals with some pretty significant issues. The year it came out it won 5 Tonys including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Original Score, and Best Featured Actor, and 6 Drama Desk Awards including Musical, Book, Actor, Orchestration, Lryics and Musical. Oh yeah, it also won a Pulitzer. So no, Rent is not just some stupid play.
I am so happy that we have the ignore option. Just a friendly suggestion that some of you may want to use it. It's obvious when certain posters do not contribute much but endless rants on anything that does not cater to their very limited perferences.
It is if you're not in the audience for plays, and saying a play won awards to someone who hates the genre/style doesn't really change an opinion. Maybe for its genre/style it was important. Doesn't effect my opinion on whether its (in my opinion) stupid or not, because every play/musical is stupid to me, and that's really a best case scenario.
On a related note. its also good to make sure you only see the posts of people who agree with you/you agree with. I don't use it like that, but its probably pretty effective for that.
If you haven't seen it you can't have an opinion. Hating the genre doesn't automatically make everything in the genre stupid.
Not objectively, no. But, for example, I don't need to listen to every Rap or Country song to know I hate those genres of music. Plays/musicals are the same, I don't need to see every one (or even very many) to say what I think of them. I hate them as a style/genre, so I'll always find them stupid (at best) to outright painful (at worst). That's not an objective comment on their quality or the genre/style, its just my subjective opinion.
Sorry but "Stupid" just isn't the word you should use to express that dislike. And blanket judgments and statements are never a good idea.
