THE FLASH TV Series Reportedly Airs A Shocking Dialogue Mistake In Brazilian Dub

The Flash recently finished airing its Armageddon crossover. For Brazilian fans, though, the Portuguese dub of the special reportedly featured a surprising dialogue insult aimed at the show's writing.

The Flash TV series recently closed out another ambitious Arrowverse crossover: Armageddon. The five-episode special pitted Barry Allen against the alien Despero (Tony Curran), a confrontation that led the Scarlet Speedster to cross paths with numerous heroes from The CW's superhero franchise, including Batwoman, Sentinel (Supergirl's Chyler Leigh), Atom and Black Lightning.

The special aired its last chapter on December 14, but details of the episode recently made their way onto social media thanks to a supposed dialogue mistake from its Brazilian dubbing, which criticized the series' dialogue quality (via Comicbook.com). 

As a clip shared online from Episode 1 of Season 8 shows, during Flash's first confrontation with Despero, a person can seemingly be heard saying, "Ohla, que diálogo merda," (at the 0:05 mark) which (roughly) translates to, "Look, what a shit dialogue":

It's important to note that a Twitter user commented on the veracity of this footage, claiming it was faked. The Flash has been criticized for its dialogue throughout its eight-season run, so it's not unreasonable to suggest that someone could have edited this to strengthen this complaint.

With that said, this could also very well be real, and if so, It's also unclear how a piece of dialogue like this could have slipped into the episode's final edit.

The Flash Season 8 will return with new episodes on March 9, 2022 on The CW.

I have no clue as to why they would leave that in, but it is pretty fun if true. CW sure does love adding drama to dialogue and the shows in general, so I can see why someone would be upset.

The Flash was entertaining up till season 3. The dialogue was always poodoo but probably better than most of the cw dialogue. Now it’s hard to watch.

I stopped watching the Arrowverse completely late into season 4 of The Flash. Just got busy. They were fun, nothing spectacular but had their moments here and there. Watching this clip... LOL nothing changes.

I do plan to go back and resume, but it'll be a few more years till I do. They're at the bottom of my list of comic book related content.

It's not "Ohla", the correct spell is "Olha".

@Fogs - Então acredito em você. Sou português e aquilo é dito tão rápido e com o sotaque até fiquei na dúvida. Mas ouvindo assim à primeira, sim, pareceu-me que alguém diz "Olha que diálogo merda".

@Moriakum - Sim! É que no PT-BR oralmente o "Olha" às vezes é abreviado pra "Ó".

I waited until all 5 episodes had aired so I could binge watch it. After binge watching all five episodes I thought, "Meh." It wasn't good. It wasn't bad. It was just a thing that happened. Didn't feel like I necessarily wanted my 5+ hours back, but I could have spent those hours doing something else more fun. Meh.

And it's not "roughly translate". That's the literal translation.

I wonder HOW this became such a big deal — since most people that I know that STILL watches “The Flash” here in Brazil do so by downloading torrents of through illegal streaming sites — where there’s no dubbing.

We live in strange days. Looks like the only thing that matter and sell is controversy, no matter its size.

This could also very well be real, and if so,
why do I continue to waste my time on TMZ rumor garbage
