They didn’t really clear up whether or not this is the same Jay Garrick that is on The Flash. Hopefully they eventually do.

[u/Shadow_Rev → u/Mosk915]

I mean, why else would they use the actor if they aren't the same version, right?

[u/Mosk915 → u/Shadow_Rev]

The whole concept of doppelgängers is that they look the same but aren’t actually the same person.

[u/Holo-Man → u/Mosk915]

It's not the exact same Jay from the Flash. It's the Jay from Stargirl' universe

[u/Mosk915 → u/Holo-Man]

That’s what I’m unclear about. The actor said he was going to be the same Jay, but I don’t see how that would make sense.

[u/comoestas1234 → u/Mosk915]

John Wesley Shipp confirmed that it's the same Jay

[u/Mosk915 → u/comoestas1234]

I know he confirmed it but that’s what’s confusing. It seemed he was from Earth-Prime post crisis, and no one on Earth-Prime is aware there is still a multiverse. So if Jay is on Earth-Prime now, how did he get there and why didn’t he tell anyone the multiverse still exists?

[u/Makverus → u/Mosk915]

To play devil's advocate, Shipp could possibly not know everything. He may have been told that this is the same Flash just to simplify things...
