To whom it may concern,
I have enjoyed the work that you
have put into bringing the DC comic book heroes to the television screen. I especially like what you have done with the
series, "The Flash." I am not sure who is
in charge when it comes to producing and writing, but my purpose in addressing
you is to share some thoughts that might influence the production of The Flash
in a positive way.
I have loved seeing a super hero
show that demonstrates a lot of positive characteristics in the
protagonist. Barry Allen seems like a
normal kid just trying to make a difference with the gifts that he has been
given. It is great to see that a show
can be a positive source of entertainment without having to bring in some of
the sleaze that many others do. I hope
to see this show continue to progress without having to add sexual content to appease
the male (and maybe female) audience.
This ruins the image of a “hero” and a “super” hero at that, in my book. Why do so many shows have to add to the rest
of the garbage that we see on TV by sending the message to kids to go out and
have sex with anyone at anytime? This is
sending the message that you can go have sex without any consequences. Superheroes should be above this. Is this really the type of message we should
be promoting? There was a brief episode
where Barry got a little frisky with Linda, if I remember correct, and I hope
you do not continue to write and produce scenes that express this kind of
sexual innuendo.
According to research and the Cultivation
Theory, media can influence our attitudes and beliefs towards certain
topics. Superhero shows are becoming
increasingly popular and can have a huge impact on people’s attitudes and
behaviors. I hope you can take this in
consideration by not allowing The Flash to drop below the moral standards that
it has been and continue in the nonsexual direction it has been thus far. Don't eradicate the potential of "The Flash".
Sincerely,
Chad Johnson, concerned fan
