RIP Arrowverse crossovers, at least they got Crisis out before it hit.

Oh you know, test the actors and stunt crew and if they're negative then get on with it as normal.

>No close-quarters/hand-to-hand combat scenes.
>As little elaborate stuntwork as possible.

So a lot of talking and zapping from afar from hereon forward.

>>No close-quarters/hand-to-hand combat scenes.

Oh so nothing different

Kek, finally they have to do the one thing they're afraid of: get innovative

Doesn't mean they won't get it later

How do you figure? They'll just have more one on one heart-to-heart scenes and 10 second fight scenes that end with the hero zapping the villain from a distance.

Just like in my porn movies

So test them regularly like porn studios.

>No kissing scenes, unless both actors consent to the risks.
>No sex scenes.

RIP Riverdale.

So they're all basically going to be a higher budget version of Bibleman. Great.

*prays this is temporary*

It is. The question is how long "temporary" will last.

Good. Fuck CW shows and the braindead idiots that watch them.

Who's going to be the first Arrowverse actor to die, Zig Forums?

If Grant goes, Hypercrisis is real.

There's nearly instant tests coming soon, and a studio can easily afford to have a medical staff to run them. Changing shows entirely because of this is silly.

>>As little guest stars and ensemble scenes as possible.
I’m ok with this, the ensemble shit has pretty much made The Flash look like an inept dumbass, so this might be a good thing

Also less romance drama is always good

I'm willing to bet no one did this while shooting silent films during the spanish flu.

There is still going to be a Team Flash, they just won't have scenes with everybody together anymore.

>2020
>the United States has to change everything about its way of life because it's too incompetent to deal with The Plague

Fucking hilarious. Back to 1348 levels, my burger friends.

wtf, they'll have to actually write good stories now

All I know about Riverdale is the LGBT conversion camp episode lmao.

Why worry all this much, the lockdowns ending soon

Hahahahahaha, you poor dumb fool

Just because restrictions are being lifted doesn’t mean the virus isn’t done fucking us yet, it’s going to take at least 2 years for that to end with a vaccine.

Also most likely the stay at home orders are going to happen again, a few times because of idiots ignoring it or states not even bothering to shut shit down

ok?

states opening up is something the state govt wants, but also the people, lots of them, WHO JUST CANT DEAL WITH NOT WORKING AND BEING HOME ALL DAY

you got your wish!
you can finish that tv show binge
you can finish that stack of games
you can have sex ALL DAY with your wife

but you can't leave your house or you DIE!

Most governors, the smart ones anyway don’t want to open shit up yet because they actually care if people die but you have the Cheeto in Charge bitching about shit riling up his base and forcing the issue

Also the majority of Americans would rather stay at home and not risk catching the virus it’s the dumbass gun toting vocal minority that’s forcing state governments to start lifting things gradually because they are effectively being threatened by homegrown terrorists

No, i wont stay home again for a fucking flu bug
Youre a fucking retard, the virus is t a threat and shouldnt shut down everything especially this long

Fuck it! Just animate everything! Have the stunt people do motion capture so they get to keep a job. Install soundproof recording booths in each actors house. They can do a season or two of animation then get back into live action later.

dumb phoneposter

user, I understand your frustration, I’m frustrated as well but Covid is not the flu, their similarities begin and end with being a respiratory illness.

Covid spreads so much faster without anyone noticing until it’s to late and Having a higher Kill rate than the flu could ever dream of.

But you are correct we didn’t need to shut down everything... if we had enough testing in place, but because we didn’t the stay at home orders were necessary because of how quickly it spread and how it’s overwhelming the hospitals who are lacking in space and medical supplies. And the reason we are doing it for so long is because many people aren’t following orders and some states even ignored it making it harder to track and contain the virus

>Most governors, the smart ones anyway don’t want to open shit up yet because they actually care if people die

Oh please. Most governors just want the optics of being staunch in combating the virus, which means being as draconian as possible. They're not following the science any more then the governors who want to reopen everything as soon as possible. All they're doing is stoking paranoia.

That's silly.

Just test them you goobers.

Just because a few people get killed doesnt mean we have to stay inside this long, let alone even more months, thats retarded

You quarantine the sick, not the healthy.

It's pants-on-the-head retarded that I can't go to my favorite local bookstore, but the Walmart can slam pack as many people as they want in just because they sell canned goods.

And I live in a town where no one has died, only 12 people actually had the damn bug and not a one has had to go on a ventilator or into ICU. Ridiculous.
