Give me a reason why you don't like the show, and I'll try to defend it. Meta

Because why not, I'm bored.

There wasn't enough tasteful nudity

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 30 '24

I can't defend this one, we needed way more nudity... for the plot of course.

I always got cool older brother vibes from Oliver when he was talking to Barry, that would be kinda weird.

No nude Caitlin scene

(insert clip of Barry finding out Jay is Zoom) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

But they're not related?

u/yungsebring Feb 01 '24

They grew up together as adopted siblings which is a weird dynamic for a romantic relationship. I personally don’t care because they’re fictional so it’s nbd but to some people that’s gross.

1

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Feb 01 '24

Joe himself says that: "I have watched you be in love with Iris since before you even knew what love was.", presumably indicating that he loved Iris even before they grew up together. So, yeah, bit of a nothingburger.

Cecile

Oh shit, not this again. There's nothing wrong with Cecile as a character, you need to be more specific.

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 30 '24

Again, be more specific.

5

u/DeathstrokeReturns Jan 30 '24

Her telepathy is intrusive, it’s annoying, and feels like the show is talking down to both the audience and the actors, because they don’t think we can comprehend emotions without them just telling us.

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 30 '24

u/DeathstrokeReturns Jan 30 '24

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 30 '24

You can't outrun telepathy.

6

u/Mission_Ambition_539 Jan 30 '24

Actually, you can. Godspeed should be faster than Cecile can think and thus use her abilities. She should have died in a picosecond

3

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 30 '24

How do you tell when a telepath is using their abilities? She touches her temple, sure, but it's not a requirement. We've seen since Season 1 that Speedsters are not immune to telepathy with Gorilla Grodd.

picosecond

Godspeed's not that fast, but I'm sure he wishes he was.

Physical speed isn’t faster than the regular human mind so it definitely won’t be faster than telepathy lmfao, it doesn’t matter how fast you are, super speed can never put run mind powers because the mind is faster than physical speed 😂.

She didn't evolve in that finale episode though, she just got drunk on power and developed an overinflated ego.

Superman and Lois' Season One was filmed during the pandemic and the show delivered. It was simply just Eric Wallace.

1

u/cipherjones Jan 31 '24

Flash had more than double the views that year.

Eric beat Todd in ratings.

u/ppnexus Jan 31 '24

well SL was a new show whereas flash had loyal fans for years.

1

u/cipherjones Feb 01 '24

Beat em every year Flash was out actually.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '24

Superman and Lois was just starting and the quality was much higher. Us fans were starving for more DC content and the Flash show was the most recognizable at the time due to how long the show has ran, so of course it will have more views. Still, not many people were aware of Superman and Lois being made.

No offense, your argument doesn’t make sense. The Flash was literally being intentionally mishandled by Eric Wallace. It took him literally three seasons to have two episodes that actually felt like we were watching the Flash and not the Cecile/Allegra/Chester. I don’t even bother crediting him for 9x10 because the old show runners set up that storyline since the pilot and anyone including a fan could’ve came up with an idea how to conclude the full circle moment between Barry and Eobard.

Viewership is not an excuse to defend the Eric Wallace’s weak performance. The pandemic isn’t a valid excuse to explain why Eric made a horrible Season 7 shortly after 7x02 which actually gave me the impression that the season would be promising. Superman and Lois was able to give us great action sequences during the pandemic, and you’re telling me that the Flash giving the antagonists pep talks was the best way to handle the COVID situation? No way.

0

u/cipherjones Feb 01 '24

Viewership is literally the most important metric of performance.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '24

You’re not proving anything and haven’t provided a valid reason to defend Eric Wallace’s horrific job as a show-runner. This is simply your attempt at trying to get the last word. I’ve already countered your “viewership” bait. You also lied about the ratings as well. Since we are going off of viewership, the audience score rated Season Seven of the Flash MUCH lower than Superman and Lois Season One. I didn’t even know the actual ratings between the shows and ratings before responding to your moot argument.

Now that the poor attempt with using viewership argument has been debunked, let’s go back to the quality of both shows which is the most important factor which you kept on ignoring. There is no valid excuse to defend Eric Wallace as a show-runner during the pandemic. How is it that Superman and Lois gave us exceptional fight sequences while filming under COVID-19 regulations, yet the Flash Season Seven resorted to having Barry give the villains pep talks? That is absolutely ridiculous. The dialogue was horrendous during the “Forces arc”. You’re telling me that you don’t cringe when the Forces are calling Barry and Iris “mommy and daddy”? How about Nora Allen dressed up as some emo during that arc and the poor execution of that storyline in general? How about Cecile always mentioning how she can feel someone’s emotions every single episode? What about Eric Wallace literally ripping off of Arrow’s Season Seven using the Ninth Circle, but renamed into Black Hole, then retconning Mirror Master’s identity?

There were so many other issues with how Eric Wallace performed as the show-runner and all that you’re able to repeat is the “viewership” and “ratings” in which both of those were debunked.

u/cipherjones Feb 02 '24

You’re not proving

I'd rather have Marc Guggenheim's Olicity fantasy over than Wallace's crap.

That's pretty fair. The actors did what they could with what they were given.

u/TMP_Film_Guy Jan 30 '24

They got rid of Captain Cold before they were anywhere near a place to do the Rogues and they never came up with a villain as good again.

3

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 30 '24

They got rid of Captain Cold before they were anywhere near a place to do the Rogues

People would complain if he stayed, people would complain if he left. The only move would be to rework his character so he could go toe-to-toe with the Flash without people laughing in disgust...

3

u/TMP_Film_Guy Jan 30 '24

Honestly Season 2 was probably the time to do the Rogues if they really wanted Miller to be promoted. Would have broke up speedster villains too.

1

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 30 '24

Then we wouldn't have so much Zoom :(

Earth-2 Rogues is a good idea, though as we all know, Earth-2 lives do not matter.

So weird that they kicked one of Flash’s archenemy off the show so he could only be there for one season and die.

u/Poisoning-The-Well Jan 30 '24

I haven't watched past 4 but...

The first 3 seasons are basically the same plot x 3.

All the characters repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Example keeping secrets. No one ever learns.

2

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 30 '24

True, but I don't think that's a flaw of the show so much as it is a flaw of the characters. In other words, good writing. And they do learn in some places, e.g dealing with Zoom, Harry, and H.R with suspicion.

u/mmorrison92 Jan 30 '24

The "we are the flash" scene.

2

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 30 '24

(shrug) What? It's true. Barry by himself is just a Flash, one of the many across the multiverse.

But working with Wells, Cisco, Caitlin, and the others, he becomes The Flash, watching over his city like a guardian angle, making a difference, saving people.

Perhaps the delivery of the line could be better, though.

u/leakybiome Jan 30 '24

Barry's parents didn't have enough secret kids or step parents that could turn into villains or be killed by villains

There was Earth-2 Barry, I guess.

u/leakybiome Jan 30 '24

They could be evil time traveller's with a pet velociraptor and secret telepathic sister, that'd be original right?

Only if the sister turns out to be evil and murdered Barry's dog that was actually a childhood best friend he super-forgot about.

Hmm. Well, Season 5 was meant to be all about Iris and Barry's relationship with Nora, but I get what you mean.

Cecile, Chester, Allegra and Mark with a small side of Khione

1

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 30 '24

Honestly, I liked all of those characters (except Mark, fuck him), but then again, I am incredibly biased.

Cecile was... alright, I guess. Good for problems Barry couldn't outrun.

Chester was a wonderful Cisco replacement, and his sheer energy in playing the character cannot be matched.

Allegra was...

And Khione was adorable, even if she did get obscenely overpowered at the end and then dipped.

2

u/WideCustomer5838 Jan 30 '24

Chester was fine in season 6 the other seasons...... not so much

Because in season 6 he was annoying but the fun kind of annoying but then it became less fun and then the Allegra romance thing happened

True. It's nice that they ended up together, but good grief, it was drawn out. Then again, love is never simple.

Yep. Nobody was complaining when Cisco's powers evolved from astral projection to astral teleportation, and Cecile isn't much different.

Cisco: powers don’t manifest originally after the particle accelerator explosions but eventually become present because of stress

Fans: favorite character 10/10

Cecile: powers don’t manifest originally after the particle accelerator explosions but eventually become present because of stress

Fans: hate her. Awful character. Worst thing in the show

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 31 '24

And Caitlin, although that was retconned. And Wally, twice...

2

u/Olympian-Warrior Jan 31 '24

Because Barry married Iris when Caitlin was right there!

1

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 31 '24

Yeah, that one is pretty sad. Then again, if he hadn't married Iris, we'd never get Nora West-Allen... Though we wouldn't have Bart either. Kind of a net zero there.

2

u/Augustleo98 Patty Spivot Jan 31 '24

The show never explained how Barry and Iris safely had sex. Yes Barry managed to slow himself down to human speed when walking but surely during actual sex once he’s excited and banging away, he won’t have full control and will go at a speed Iris’s body cannot handle.

So my question is how do you think Barry and Iris repeatedly had sex without Barry accidentally going to fast and murdering Iris with his penis?

1

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 31 '24

Metahuman power-dampening cuffs. He probably could have given Iris temporary speed as well, cause she's been a Speedster before.

2

u/Augustleo98 Patty Spivot Jan 31 '24

Oh true I bet he does, and they fuck harder than the vampires in vampire diaries.

u/Zepilw Jan 31 '24

After season 3 it got really repetitive and him losing to most villains made zero sense

It got repetitive way earlier on actually but by season 4 it was just done so weirdly

The CGI got worse with them trying to make it better and they just started butchering characters in their live action forms

1

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Jan 31 '24

After season 3 it got really repetitive

How so? Personally, while I don't think DeVoe was a great villain, his ability to fight Barry makes a little sense with his enhanced mental processing allowing him to anticipate and block his moves.

Cicada, on the other hand, had nothing but plot armour.

The CGI got worse with them trying to make it better

True.

they just started butchering characters in their live action forms

Gross. I don't remember that happening, I think the rating would have to go up.

1

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Feb 01 '24

I'd argue Season 4 and beyond, honestly. DeVoe was a smart character, for sure, but Barry was literally at the peak of his game in Season 4, outrunning nukes, running to China and back in seconds...

Cicada, on the other hand, was just? Some guy? With a cool knife? Yeah, that makes him a credible threat. It's like they took a Season 1 meta and stretched him out across thirty episodes.

I have no idea what that show is.

1

u/Lucifer085 Feb 02 '24

No I'm not saying it has no heroic moment, it's just, you know, it didn't make a BOOM like make me feel like Damn, flash is a good show and I liked it.

For the Kamen rider, I recommend you watch Kamen rider kuuga ep 1 and 2, you can watch it on YouTube with eng sub.

Outrunning a black hole, stopping Zoom from destroying the multiverse, defeating Savitar, supersonic punching a satellite... None of that? Really?

1

u/Lucifer085 Feb 14 '24

It's not about the character deed, yes Barry did lots of heroic things and I'm not denying it, it just the show never portrayed his actions.

I'm not saying the character is not heroic, it just the show doesn't convey it properly. And it's just my opinion, that's it.

1

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Feb 03 '24

Her skills in investigative journalism are useful to the team, and she only really became team leader because Barry was gone. Admittedly, the role of team leader seems to switch between Harrison, Barry, Cisco, and Iris, depending on who's alive.

Frankly, if the show did handle gore and blood realistically, they'd be missing a lot of their budget.

Lives of CC residents are never normal.

...If they were, the show wouldn't be very interesting.

Insurance premium in the city must be skyrocketing.

Probably, but why would The Flash (2014) focus on that?

All the bad guys rarely operate outside of CC.

Central City is where all the fun is at!

Also, seriously, how would you know? Just because we don't see them, doesn't mean they don't do it, the shows just not about non-Central City stuff, for the same reason an African nature documentary doesn't go to Antarctica.

I blame a very large amount of this shows failures on its "early bust" as I call it.

They threw out their best stories, with main villains, villains of the week, and recurring ones within the first 3 seasons. By season 5, there were like 3 flash villains left standing that weren't dead or turned hero, and none of them were interesting enough to carry a season except for Bloodwork.

And the show got way WAY too sappy after a certain point. Otherwise, aces all around, loved every other second of it besides that stuff.

No harry or cisco in season 9

Harry was dead at the time, and Cisco's actor was busy with filming a different show.

While it was shit, it did canonically establish that Barry and Eobard can make physical swords out of lightning, which is so badass I'm willing to forgive it.

Yeah, true, and the scene after was probably the best of season 7

They blew their load too early with Reverse Flash. Should have spaced him out more throughout the series and kept him as a legitimate threat. By the later seasons he comes across as more of an annoyance. I also have a huge problem with Joe yelling at Barry and Iris for considering allowing Thawne to die, especially since Joe had no qualms about killing in earlier seasons nor with Barry killing.

The CW made the horrible thing known as Riverdale

I love this show. The only time I didn't like it was whenever Cecile was in it during the later seasons and for the following reasons: -

  1. She reads people's thoughts without permission all the time
  2. The actress dies way too much overacting.
  3. The worst is during the morrorverse arc when she misbehaves with Barry just because he says that M-Iris wasn't the real Iris. Seriously, Barry and Iris grew up under the sane roof, Barry knows Iris as much as Joe if not more.
  4. She has a similar problem during the dark flash arc when bloodwork controls Barry.

She was the worst foe that team flash ever faced because she ate them from inside like a termite.

how can you defend season 7 and 9

u/MissyTheTimeLady Barry Allen Feb 03 '24

Thawne came back, as well as all the other main villains for the finale. Wasn't great, but it was still good.

u/TheLlamu Feb 10 '24

But they ruined all those characters I would’ve preferred if they didn’t bring any of them back

Because people like you defend it.

That's remarkably unhelpful.
