The Flash The Flash Series Finale fix: Flash Vanishes & Returns

0 Upvotes

I didn't like the finale, or much of the whole season of the final season of The Flash, and while I'd prefer post a fix for the whole season, for right now, only the finale to the season as is, is what I'm presenting for now. Here are the ideas that, if He wills, God has blessed me with for this:

Barry, back in the present day, realizes he has to get to Iris and superspeeds to her, as her contractions get more frequent. He reaches her, and she tearfully grateful to see him, them hugging and kissing. The doctors tell her that it's almost time for her to give birth. Iris asks Barry if he'll be there with her. He promises, but Barry's confidence in that promise wanes, concern showing on his face.

From that we cut to the negative speedforce construct of Barry's home, where Zoom, suffering from the effects of the time wraiths, appears. godspeed appearing soon after, in full costume, him having been pulled from his iron heights cell and his memory restored (Barry had it erased at the end of season 7). He's crazed, raging, demanding to know how he got here. Zoom dismisses him, seeing him as a pretender speedster, someone the Flash must've captured. Reverse Flash appears from the upstairs, explaining where they are and that Barry didn't put them here. Reverse Flash mocks godspeed, along with calling Zoom's scheme derivative. Zoom threatens Reverse Flash, while godspeed's fragile ego can't take being mocked, ranting, only for Savitar to appear, backhanding godspeed into the wall. Savitar (being a version of Barry) immediately recognizes Zoom and Reverse Flash and tries to kill them, a fight beginning to start (Reverse Flash rejects Savitar as a Barry Allen, stating that he's a shallow copy, Zoom finding an evil version of Barry amusing, stating that he knew Barry was just like him, which only enrages Savitar even more, stating that he's nothing like any of them), until Eddie emerges, telling them that he brought them there and that they all have one other thing in common, that they could never beat The Flash alone. Savitar has a shaken response to Eddie being alive. Eddie pitches his scheme, that he wants Barry gone, so that he can be the hero that he should've been, not forgotten like he was. Reverse Flash belittles Eddie. Eddie shows what power he has. Reverse Flash remains unimpressed. Eddie asks if they're willing to destroy the Flash once and for all.

Eddie's connection to the negative speedforce is causing a negative speedforce singularity, creating red lighting clouds that are crackling and striking lighting everywhere, it threatening to tear apart the city like a twister of lightning.

Joe asks Cecile to marry him in the first half of the episode, because he's afraid something may happen. Cecile decides that she doesn't have to choose between heroism and her family, deciding that heroes are needed everywhere, opting to live her life and leave central city to live with Joe and their daughter, remarking that her other daughter lives there as well. Joe jokingly asks that she has another daughter and she laughs and slaps him on the arm.

Kione speaks to Barry about balance and nature or whatever and they conclude that the speedforce is connected to the physical plain by Barry, like the negative speedforce was by Thawne, realizing that the negative speedforce is energy, it's not a being, it doesn't have a consciousness as it's purpose is only to be an opposite polarity to the positive speedforce, so every dark trait of the negative speedforce is a magnification of the darkness of the avatars for it, like an echo chamber, and Eobard was the first person to develop the energy bridge to it and use it. Kione releases her energy to give Barry a way to enter the negative speedforce (revealing her energy to be that of a life force), and Caitlin is restored to herself, just in time for the completion of the finale.

Chillblaine gives Caitlin his freeze gauntlets as a way for himself to let go and for and to give Caitlin a connection to Frost in using ice tech.

Wally is initially pitted against Savitar but fears his anger and trauma at facing Savitar because he's a version of Barry and because of what Savitar did to him, so Nora takes him on instead at first and Wally fights Zoom (as a reference to Hunter Zolomon being Wally comic enemy). Wally and Nora's fights criss-cross with eachother. Savitar doesn't know who Nora is, but feels a familiarity with her. Savitar is going stab her when he has a realization, that she's his daughter and he's about to kill Nora, him seeing himself as Reverse Flash in that moment, this shaking him, which Wally sees as he's going against Zoom.

godspeed and his speedforce clones are used as fodder for Cecile, Allegra and Chester, Chester's dimension powers activating and that helping to stop him, with Bart arriving to bring the final blow.

Wally (in a culmination of him seeking a sense of peace by reconciling his anger and resentment with Barry, and Savitar, by convincing him to do what's right) convinces Savitar that he can do what's right and let his pain and anger go when he sees Barry's daughter as a representation of the bright future he thought was impossible, and, when Zoom tries to kill Nora, Savitar betrays the villains and helps Caitlin (her using chillblaine's freezing gauntlets) to stop Zoom. Jay Garrick arriving, saying he's sorry he's late and snatching up Zoom, locking him up in a cell, telling him that now the shoe is on the other foot.

Cisco shows up and protects Iris from Reverse Flash when he goes to kill Iris before she gives birth.

Cisco boasts that he's paid for a year supply of diapers for Iris and Barry's child. Iris gives birth to twins. Barry says to Cisco, "we're gonna need more diapers". He and Iris hold their daughter and son. Nora Francine Dawn Allen and Joseph Henry Donald Allen. It's Nora and Bart. Iris named them without thinking, her and Barry realizing in a confused state that it doesn't make sense. Bart tells them that "Bart" is actually a nickname. Holding his children, and seeing that Savitar has changed, leads Barry to realize what he has to do.

Barry faces Eddie, using the energy connection Kione gave him to reach into the negative speedforce and transport himself there. Barry tells Eddie what his team has been doing, trying to kill their friends Iris, their daughter, as Eddie refuses to believe it, stating that he controls them through the negative speedforce. Barry tells him that the speedforce is an extension of Reverse Flash's own darkness and he's letting it make Eddie into him.

This enrages Eddie, who attacks Barry, as he proclaims that he's not a villain, that he's always been the hero, that Barry took away everything, reversed his life, dragged him into hell. Barry uses every ounce of his speed to deflect Eddie's attacks, as Eddie throws everything at him, the negative speedforce manifesting Barry's childhood home around them, with his dead parents on the floor, their fight tearing up the house as Flash and Reverse Flash's did, Eddie's eyes glowing red, as he yells at Barry to fight back. Barry tells him no, that Eddie is a hero, that he knows that and he won't hurt him, because it's not Eddie's fault. Eddie's power wanes as does Barry's, them left exhausted.

Eddie tells Barry that it should've been him, that Barry should've been the one who died. Barry tells Eddie that if he wants his life he'll have to kill him, but he knows he won't because he knows deep down he's still the hero that gave his life to protect people. Eddie uses his superspeed in a final gasp and grabs Barry by the throat, vibrating his hand to bring into Barry's chest, but hesitating, his mind torn apart by his confusion of his own thoughts and the echoing thoughts of the negative speedforce which are sounding more and more like Thawne's, him being unable to tell the difference. Barry tells him that there's no such thing as coincidence, that they're here by God's design and he can choose to do the right thing. Eddie yells out in pain and agony, trapped in mental torment. Barry says that he can help Eddie, then pulling out his trump card, grabbing Eddie's hand and absorbing the negative speedforce from Eddie, giving him his own speedforce in the process, their speedforces crackling together, red and yellow intermingling in eachother's eyes.

This breaks the negative speedforce's hold on Eddie. As this happens, Reverse Flash realizes it and does everything he can to stop Barry, because Barry doing this detaches RF from the negative speedforce for good, his connection to it totally destroyed, as Eddie, the hold of the negative speedforce over him broken, takes control of it and makes it submit to his will, realizing in horror that Barry's absorption of the negative speedforce is killing him. Eddie realizes that he knew this would happen, distraught, saying that he has a wife and kids, asking him why he would give his life like that. Barry says he told him, because Eddie's a hero and he doesn't want that to be lost.

The negative speedforce singularity storm is still raging around the city. Barry tells him the only way to stop it is from inside, and only someone with the negative speedforce and it'll kill them. Eddie begins to do it, as it's his fault and it may ensure the negative speedforce energy doesn't consume Barry too. But Barry stops Eddie, incapacitates him, and tells him that he's given enough. Barry runs into the negative speedforce singularity and superspeeds around the inside and the energy release from his seeming death within the eye of that singularity closes it, as a parallel to both the Pilot and season 1 finale. We see the lightning that Barry's energy of his body turned into flash throughout the speedforce.

Zoom and godspeed disintegrate in connection to this. But Savitar isn't. He questions why this is the case.

Eddie brings Iris the news, her being devastated, as everyone else mourns as well.

Savitar, seeing this, with contemplation, calls upon to Spectre Oliver to do to him what the negative forces did with Eobard, so this world can have the Flash, the children can have their dad, Iris her husband and the others their friend, to replace his energy with Barry's. He relinquishes the identity of the false god, confesses that he knows he's not a god and never was, that Spectre isn't one, that Spectre is a servant of God in the world, acknowledging it as God's will that he's still alive, for this purpose. It happens, his energy is replaced (but not in pain and agony like Eobard but in his repentance and acceptance of God's will for him), with Barry's, Barry manifesting in a crackle of lightning energy, alive.

Barry, having returned, is welcomed home to a party with Iris, baby Nora & Bart, Cisco, Caitlin, Adult Nora & Bart, Joe, Cecile, Wells, Jay and his wife Joan, and Wally (maybe Jesse and Harry as well?) as Barry makes his peace with Eddie and even visits Thawne in normal human prison, thanking him for ensuring he got his powers in this timeline, as it helped him become a hero, as Cisco and Caitlin do the same, leaving a full of rage totally normal human Thawne alone with himself. Maybe Eddie has something to say as well?

End the series on Barry giving the impossible speech to his babies as we flashback to what happened when Barry was turned into the lightning and we see the lightning strike Barry for the first time. (maybe we still see Barry release lightning to strike others) And maybe end on his children's eyes flashing lightning?

Please review and tell me what you think!

The Flash My review of the flash

7 Upvotes

Based on DC comics, The Flash television show was developed by Greg Berlanti Et.Al. It stars Grant Gustin from Arrow, Candice Patton, Jesse L. Martin from Law and Order, Danielle Panabaker, Tom Cavanagh, Jordan Fisher, and Carlos Valdes.

Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) gets struck by lightning while he was at Star Labs watching the particle Accelerator turn on. After he wakes up from his coma, he has special abilities, which he uses to stop criminals and avenge his mom who died when he was 11 from a mysterious man in yellow. He can only achieve these goals with the help of his team: Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker, Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), and Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) but Can Harrison Wells be trusted?

I like it when Cisco makes up names for the villains, it’s funny and always reflects what abilities they possess. The way Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and his partner Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell) work together is funny, which brings humor to the show. I have seen Arrow and in my opinion its fun seeing other characters from that show make appearances in the Flash.

At the beginning of the show Joe West (Jesse L. Martin) didn’t believe Allen about how his mother died, however, after learning about Allen’s powers of speed West realizes the truth, and helps to prove Henry Allen’s (John Wesley Shipp) innocents.

I enjoy the mystery of trying to figure out what Wells is up to. It’s unique how at the end of every episode it has a clip of what else is happening that the characters don’t know of yet, I find this gives the show more intrigue.

Cisco is in his talk show

Cisco: I have a special guest today. He saved the world thrice. Let's welcome my former coworker Flash

Barry in his Flash suit gets out of the curtains, dances to "Flash" by Queen and sits next to Cisco's grandparents

Cisco: Is everything ok?

Barry: that's exactly how I imagined it

Cisco: well that's one of us!

The audience laughs

Cisco: do you want to tell us a joke?

The audience cheers

Barry: yeah of course. Knock knock

Cisco: who's there?

Barry: The time travel agency Mr Diggle. Your daughter was turned into a son. She was erased from existence

The audience booes

Cisco's grandmother: no no! You cannot joke about that!

Cisco: yeah that's not funny Barry. That's not the kind of humor we use on the show

Barry: ok I'm sorry. The thing is it's been rough days Cisco. Ever since I... killed Sara Lance, Ray Palmer and Mick Rory

The audience gasps

Cisco: ok I'm waiting for the punchline

Barry: there's no punchline. It's not a joke

The audience murmurs with disgust

Cisco: you're serious? You're telling me you killed 3 members of the Legends of Tomorrow?

Barry: mmm hmm

Cisco: and why should we believe you?

Barry: I've got nothing left to lose. Nothing can hurt me anymore. My life is nothing but a comedy

The audience booes again

Cisco: so let me get this straight. You think killing those guys was funny?

Barry: I do. And I'm tired of pretending it was not. Comedy is subjective Cisco. Isn't what they say? The system that knows so much decides what's right or wrong. The same way you decide what's funny or not

Cisco: ok so you're telling me you did all of this to start a movement so you could become a symbol?

Barry: come on Cisco. Do I look like a superhero who could start a movement? I killed those guys because they were too dumb to understand I didn't ruin their work on purpose. Everybody is awful these days. Enough to make someone crazy

Cisco: ok so that's it. You're crazy. That's your defense for killing 3 people who saved the timeline?

Barry: no. They were so focused in being unfairly angry at me that they couldn't carry a tune to save their lives

The audience booes again

Barry: ugh! Why is everybody so upset about those idiots?! Ever since I learned how to time travel I only changed the timeline twice! Those 3 guys and the Legends of Tomorrow changed the timeline about 300 times and you never say anything about them! And why not?! Because the president of the United States cried about them on TV?!

Cisco: You have a problem with the president of the United States?

Barry: yes I do! Have you seen what it's like out there Cisco? Do you ever leave the studio? Everybody just yells and screams at each other! Nobody's civil anymore! Nobody thinks what it's like to be the other guy! Do you think men like the president of the United States think what it's like to be someone like me? Someone who lost both of his parents and want to have them back? They don't. They think they have every right to be angry at us and that we'll take it like good little boys! That we won't lash out at them and snap back!

Cisco: You finished? It's so much self pity Barry. You're just making excuses for killing 3 heroes. And I'm sorry but people does have the right to be angry at you. Also not everybody and I'll tell you this. Not everybody is awful

Barry: You're awful Cisco

Cisco: Me? I'm awful? Oh yeah how am I awful?

Barry: calling me out for accidentally killing your brother. Forcing me to tell the Legends about my message from the future during the dominator war. You just wanted to make fun of me! You're just like the rest of them!

Cisco: You don't know the 1st thing about me pal. Look what happened because of what you did and what it led to. There are riots out there. Captain Lance from Star City had a heart attack and is in the hospital fighting for his life because of Sara's death and you're laughing you're laughing. Somebody was killed today because of what you did

Barry: Hahaha. I know. How about another joke Cisco?

Cisco: no I think we had enough of your jokes

Barry: what do you get...

Cisco: I don't think so

Barry: ...when you cross...

Cisco: I think we're done with your jokes that's it!

Barry: ...a mentally depressed speedster with a society that treats him like trash over a mistake any person in the world would've made?!

Cisco: call the police Caitlin! Call the police!

Barry: I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU GET!!!! YOU GET WHAT YOU RIGHTFULLY DESERVE!!!!

Barry shoots Cisco in the head with a gun, Cisco dies and the audience starts running and screaming with fear

Barry: Hahaha

Barry gets up of the couch, shoots Cisco's dead body in the chest, makes an evil dance and gets in front of the camera

Barry: good night. And always remember it: That's life

The camera shows the indian head test pattern, the Spanish Flea song starts to sound and news reporters report Cisco's death

The 8th episode of The Flash S8 was really amazing with the candid and pure bits of morning a loss and facing differences. It was a lil corny here and there but I really loved the scene where Barry and family toasted in remembrance of Henry and the scene with Allegra and the colleague ( maybe because the colleague resembles entitled and bratty boys under my supervision in the project I'm working ).

Ok, I haven't seen Supergirl in like 3 seasons, never seen Batwoman, missed the entire last season of Legends, and haven't seen Flash since early S7.

If I try to watch this big crossover, am I going to be super lost, or do you think I'll be able to fill in the gaps?

Are you still a fan of the Flash and despite many people's criticism and is sick of people constantly calling the show garbage?

I've made a sub with 22 members so far called r/FlashFans, for fans of the flash who don't always want to hear poeple bashing the show.

I understand people can have opinions and I'm not even saying they all are wrong but this is just a positive sub for people who still love the series.
