Ndiyazithanda kakhulu iiCW's Ifleshi. Yeyona nto ndiyithandayo ye-comic book adaptation yechungechunge lweTV, ubukhulu becala ngenxa yokuba yamkela ubuyatha bayo ngengqondo enkulu yolonwabo. Akukho kwanto evela kwiikomikhi ezibonakala ngathi zisile kwaye ziyamangalisa ukuzisa ubomi kwiscreen salo mboniso. I-Telepathic, igorila enobubele? Sinayo lonto. Abahlali abanesibindi sokuzibiza ngokuba nguCaptain Cold kunye noPied Piper? Ngokuqinisekileyo, siya kubandakanya kunye nokunye. Ikaraoke? Kunjalo! Uhambo lokuhamba ixesha? Masihambe!
Oku kuvakalelwa njengexesha elitsha kulungelelwaniso olukhulu. Kodwa kuyenzeka, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kuyimfuneko, ukwamkela ukuba izinto ozithandayo zinokuba nento okanye ezimbini zokugxeka. Kule meko, ndihlala ndizikrwempa intloko phezu komlinganiswa u-Iris West.
Okokuqala, masiqhathanise amanqaku phakathi komthombo kunye nokulungiswa. Kwii-comics zeklasikhi, u-Iris West wamkelwa, wakhuliswa sisazinzulu esasingena ngqondo u-Ira West nabanye abantwana bakhe ababini. Wayesele eyintatheli enamava kwaye ehlonitshwayo yeFoto News xa wayeqala ukudibana nososayensi weCentral City PD uBarry Allen, aka Flash, owakhawuleza waba ngumdla wakhe wothando, emva koko waba ngumyeni. Benza isibini esithandekayo ngokumangalisayo, behleka ngezinto ezingaqhelekanga zeFlash kwaye beza namabali egubungela kunye nanini na xa befuna ukucacisa ukungabikho ngesiquphe kukaBarry kubahlobo nakwabo asebenza nabo. Ukusukela ukuqala ngokutsha kwe-52 Comics ye-DC Comics superhero, u-Iris kunye noBarry banomtsalane omnye komnye kodwa abathandananga kakhulu okanye abatshatanga.
Kumdlalo weTV, izinto zahlukile (ngokuyinxenye okanye ngokupheleleyo ngenxa yotshintsho oluninzi kwimbali ebangelwe ngumguvela obuyela umva-Flash). Apha, u-Iris akamkelwanga kwaye akanabo abantakwabo (ngaphandle kokuba ezi zizityhilelo ezicwangciselwe kamva kuthotho). UBarry noIris babengabahlobo abathi emva koko bakhuliswa ecaleni komnye nomnye nguyise uJoe West, oyipolisa. Ngexesha u-Barry eqala ukusebenza namapolisa, u-Iris kwaye sele engumhlobo wobomi bonke abazi phantse yonke into malunga nabanye.
Andiphikisani notshintsho olwenziwe ngokuhlengahlengiswa kwesenzo ngokuhlekisayo. Ukuba unyanisekile kwaye uhambisa into entsha enomdla kwinto eyaziwayo, ndiyilungele. UJoe ubelulongezo olukhulu kubalingisi kwaye ubudlelwane obutsha phakathi kukaIris noBarry abuniki kuphela isibini iindawo ezintsha zokuhlola, kuyabanceda beme kude nesinye isibini esidumileyo seComic Comics esasibandakanya iqhawe kunye nentatheli.
Akukho ngxaki nakumlingisi uCandice Patton. Ukubonakaliswa kwakhe kwe-Iris kuza kubonakala ngathi kuyathandeka kwaye kunyanisekile. Unekhemistri elungileyo noGrant Gustin, uJesse L. Martin noRick Cosnett, abathi ngokulandelelana badlale umhlobo wakhe wobomi bonke uBarry Allen, utata wakhe uJoe West, kunye nesoka lakhe u-Eddie Thawne. Kodwa ngoku sifikelela kwinto endikhathazayo. Ngubani u-Iris ngaphandle kwamadoda ebomini bakhe?
Kumqhubi wenqwelomoya, u-Iris yinkwenkwezi eqaqambileyo kwihlabathi likaBarry. Bayazana ngakumbi kunaye nawuphi na umntu kwaye uyamthanda ngokucacileyo ngelixa kubonakala ngathi akanakuyazi le nto. Emva kwengozi yakhe kunye ne-coma elandelayo, u-Barry uvuka afumanise ukuba u-Iris uqalile ukudweba ubomi ngaphandle kwakhe, okubandakanya isoka elibi. Lo mtshato mtsha phakathi kwabo, kunye nesicelo sikatata wakhe omkhulisayo uJoe, senza ukuba kuqondakale ukuba kutheni ngexesha lomqhubi wenqwelomoya ethatha isigqibo sokuthemba imfihlo yamandla akhe kubantu abathathu angabaziyo (kwaye ngubani owayesazi ukuba umzimba wakhe utshintshile) kunokuba lo mfazi ebeyazi ubomi bakhe bonke.
Kodwa ngoku, kujongeka ngathi nguIris kuphela kwakhe engekho kwiklabhu. Ngeziganeko zesiqendu sakutshanje, ungoyena mlinganiswa womdlalo weqonga oqhelekileyo ongazi ukuba uBarry yiFlash. Nditsho nesoka lakhe uEddie ngoku liyaxoka kuye (nangona ubuncinci eqhankqalaza ngokucinezelwa ukuba enze le nto). Kuvakala kungaqhelekanga xa bonke abathandekayo bakhe bexoka kuye kuba becinga ukuba oku kuyakumkhusela kwizisongelo. Iris yintatheli ebhloga malunga neFlash kwaye iphanda iimetahumans, notata, isoka kunye nomhlobo abahlala besilwa nezaphuli-mthetho zabantu. Usengozini, sele kutheni emgcina ebumnyameni xa esabelana naye ngolwazi olunokuthi lusindise ubomi bakhe?
Eyona nto yenza ukuba le nto izive imbi kukuba asimbonanga uIris enabahlobo ngaphandle kukaBarry noEddie. Ngaba uhlala enxibelelana nabani na ovela esikolweni? Ngaba ngamathuba athile ubamba isidlo sasemini nomntu ongeyondoda ithandana naye? Ngaphezulu kweshumi elinambini leziqendu kwaye andizazi iimpendulo zale mibuzo.
Makhe sijonge indima kaIris njengentatheli. Emva kokuba iFlash ibonakale (kwaye iqala ukwenza umkhwa wokumndwendwela kwiivenkile zekofu ezimnyama), ii-Iris blogs malunga naye kunye nezinto zakhe ezingaqhelekanga. Ekugqibeleni, ubeka umsebenzi kwiFoto News ngokuya ingxelo malunga neFlash. Uvukela le nto nangona kunjalo, njengoko efuna ukuba yintatheli enzulu.
Linda, ukusukela nini? Uye ekungathatheni iklasi yobuntatheli ngokungathandabuzekiyo kwisiqendu sesibini (wayede waqhula ngokwenza ikhowuti xa engakwaziyo ukwenza udliwanondlebe) ukubhloga ngokukodwa ngesihloko esinye (into eyenziwe ngabantu abaninzi abanamdla wobuntatheli) ukuza kuthi ga ngoku Ukufumana umsebenzi emva kweeveki kamva, ngelo xesha ukhalaza ukuba akabonwa njengentatheli yokwenyani. Lwakhula nini olu thando lobuntatheli? Ndiliphosile elaa xesha apho wayesiva ubizo. Khange siyibone, khange siyive, sixelelwe nje ukuba ibiyinto yakhe leyo ngoku.
Omnye umzekelo wento esiyixelelwayo kodwa ngoku ibonakalisiwe ichaphazela umba wothando. Sixelelwe amatyeli aliqela ukuba uBarry uyamthanda kwaye uziva ukuba ngumfazi olungileyo kuye. Kodwa njengokuba ixesha lihamba, besibona ubungqina obuncinci baloo nto. Ngaphandle kokuqhelana, andiyiboni into ebonelelwa ngu-Iris kubomi bukaBarry ukuba akafumani ngokulinganayo kubahlobo bakhe uCainlin noCisco. Akasoloko ecela umngeni kuye okanye amncede ukuba oyise iingxaki zakhe, ngokuyinxenye kuba ngoku ugcinwe ebumnyameni ngobomi bakhe.
Kufuneka sikholelwe nokuba u-Barry ngumntu olungileyo u-Iris, hayi u-Eddie (uyakuvuma oku ngaphambi kokuba ixesha lokuhamba litshintshe isivumo). Kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, sibonile ukuba uEddie ngumfana olungileyo uIris avana kunye noBarry. Ukuba ufuna ukuba sincothule isibini esinye kunenye, sibonise izinto uEddie noIris abangazifumaniyo malunga nomnye. Sibonise indlela uIris noBarry abancedana ngayo ukuze babe ngabantu abangcono. Heck, kuya kuba mnandi ukubona ezinye iincoko phakathi kuka-Iris no-Eddie ezazingathethi ngoBarry, iFlash okanye umntu odibene neFlash.
Abalinganiswa bakaCainlin Snow kunye noCisco Ramon baqala ngokufanayo. Babonakala bengazi mntu ngaphandle komnye, umcebisi wabo uGqirha Wells, kunye noBarry. Kodwa ngokuhamba kwexesha, siye sababona bexhoma njengezihlobo nje, bonwabela izinto ezingadibani ngqo neFlash. Sidibene nosapho lukaCisco kwaye sibonile uCainlin ekhetha ukwahlukana nothando lwakhe uRonnie, ngoku sele eqhele ubomi obungamfakiyo okanye obubeka phambili. Sibabonile bobabini bekhula ukusukela kumqhubi wenqwelomoya kwaye ukukhula kuye kwavakala. Khange sixelelwe nje ukuba uCainlin uziva ngokwahlukileyo ngoku. Ngaba banokusebenzisa ukukhula ngakumbi? Ngokuqinisekileyo. Kodwa ubuncinci sele ndiyibona isenzeka.
Iris West inezinto ezininzi ezingafakwanga. Akayena umnyama omnyama kumboniso nangayiphi na indlela, kodwa umi ngaphandle njengomlingiswa omnye onganikezelwanga ukhathalelo njengabanye. Ndiyathemba ukuba olu tshintsho kungekudala.
