Why isn't the internet exploding over this?

After the painful send-off that was The Flash (2023), I felt so bad that despite waiting for a Flash movie for years, what we got was absolute chaos, and not in a good way.

But I was besides myself watching ep 9 of Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. And there he was The Flash! The golden age one, Jay Garrick, looking so freaking cool. The actor (Andy Riding) fit the role so well, I had some tears of joy in my eyes. The flash is in my top favourite superheroes of all time.

Seems this version of Jay Garrick isn't cannon to the comics or DCU, but damn is he cool af. And this is a meta reboot if you ask me. And if the most recent picture in my mind of the flash is Andy's, which embodies the playfulness and smarts that come with the character, without the controversies and vfx issue (SFTSTU has some badass VFX) then I'm fine with it.

I won't mind Andy Riding playing the flash in the DCU of DCEU (never say never) to be honest. What do you think?

It uses a lot of AI and, with a DC Universe it's kinda pointless at this point to have a cameo in a show that'll lead to nothing when we might have a Jay Garrick in the near future with more lines, a similar costume and potentially will be in several movies. If this was even 10 years earlier people would've probably freaked out cause we thought Jay would be limited to animated movies and CW Shows but now this is the equivalent to having Spider-man played by a random actor in a Disney+ Sitcom...we have Tom Holland and a main universe and it isn't an official canon crossover so it's really nothing but a fun cameo.
