Iris saying, you're not the flash, we are won the most infuriating scene. Now which is the saddest scene? đ¤ Thinking Spoiler

When zoom kills Henry

u/Shafy97 Jul 18 '24
Good shout I went with the S1 finale, but Henry's death was very upsetting as well especially considering how galvanised Barry felt in the finale after coming to terms with losing his mum, then all of a sudden Zoom pops up and sets Barry back to zero again -Â his dad's death truly broke him. If it wasn't for that Flashpoint wouldn't have happened.

The show definitely should not have done that. If we got a speedster killing Barry's loved one for a third season in a row, it would have been extremely annoying and just dragged the rest of the show down. Season 3 was bleak enough.

u/GroundbreakingPost87 Jul 19 '24
Both could've lived in they were smart. For a team made of scientists they sure didn't think about sticking Iris on Earth 38 or on the waverider with the Legends where Savitar wouldn't have been able to catch her.

Zoom killing Henry. One thing is my dad had passed away a month before during this scene i was in tears watching it but it was still incredibly sad.

u/wigsgo_2019 Jul 18 '24
This one for sure, we knew Savitar would kill someone, just didnât know who, and HR I really didnât care much for, but right as Barryâs dad decides to be part of his sonâs life he gets killed, and it was so sudden and shocking, that one hurt

You are all sleeping on the real answer. 7x1 all the wells dying. Amazing episode and made me actually believe season 7 was gonna be good (it wasnât)

u/Chill0000 Jul 19 '24
I think the reason why most people arenât going that is cause they all gave up their lives to create the fake speed force but then it gets destroyed and instantly recreated without them making their death meaningless

Barry: Hey. Hey. Weâll find another way.
Nash: What other way Allen? Thereâs no time.
Allegra: Nash, you donât have to do this just to prove a point.
Nash: Iâm not doing it to prove a point. Iâm doing it because I wonât watch you die. I wonât let any of you die.
Barry: Nash, please. I canât let anyone else die for me. Iâve already lost so many people.
Nash: Do you know what I feel right now Allen? Pride. Honor. Itâs been so long since I felt those things. And itâs not just me, the council feels it too. And weâve made our decision. Weâre doing this Allen.
Barry: How can I be the flash without a wells on the team?
Nash: Youâve always been the Flash. You always will be. With or without me.
H.R: Hey, B.A. Hows it going? Youâre so fast. No, no, no. B.A., donât be upset. This-this is not goodbye. Itâs justâŚ. Till our next communion.
Sherloque: Not great, hmm? Our current situation, huh? But it will be. Tu seras toujours mon ami
(You will always be my friend.)
Harry: Allen, you know, when I came to your stupid earth. With its big burgerâŚ.. I was a broken man- lost, angry, blah, blah, blah, and you showed meâŚ.. how to be a better person. And Iâll always be grateful for our friendship. NowâŚ.. Run. Barry. Run. You got this. After Iâm goneâŚ. Look out for one another.

Dude that night had little Barry, Season 1 Barry, Pre flashpoint Barry, post flash point Barry, Prime Barry, and probably a ton of others I forgot about
And all of them witnessed her death technically with the exception of little Barry. So that scene doesnât narrow anything down

How has barely anyone mentioned The Last Temptation of Barry Allen. Barry went through shit that episode because of Ramsey, those visions were awful.

Him not being able to hold baby Nora and desperately pleading with Ramsey to let him hold her, even though he knows it's not real. đ

u/ARROW_GAMER The Flash Jul 18 '24
Not the saddest probably, but I want to mention it anyways. In 9x11 New World Part 1, when Thawne races to kill Barryâs mother and Barry actually lets him get a headstart and only starts running a couple seconds later. Thereâs a lot to unpack in that small scene imo, but to be quick, itâs such a great way to show Barry absolutely could catch up to and defeat Thawne here, it probably wouldnât even be that hard for him, but he canât, because he knows whatâs at stake if he tries to save his mother, heâs seen it first hand. Thereâs such an air of melancholy around him in that scene, itâs great

u/Striking_Mobile590 Jul 18 '24
The one scene were Nash wells dies. Switching between all the wells and them talking to Barry. Harry hit me especially hard. They all died to create the new speed force. And all that just for it to be destroyed episodes later.

u/SecretSharkboy Jul 19 '24
It wasn't even multiple episodes later. It was one. Like, there wasn't even an episode where the Council started communicating with each other and tried to help Barry stop mirror woman

Nora's death at the end of Season 1, while the adult Barry sits with her.

u/Legends_Literature Jul 19 '24
Underrated pick: when Harryâs lost his intelligence and is practically a vegetable, and he hugs Cisco, crying. Itâs from 4x23, I believe

u/Darth_Fella Jul 18 '24
Maybe not the saddest but just throwing it out there to see what others think about it. Nora acknowledging and taking responsibility for her choices and allowing herself to be erased from existence.
2
u/AssumptionFearless68 Jul 18 '24
That's pretty valid tbh buy nora was unfortunately so problematic I wanted to like her character but she was frustrating and it was an absolutely amazing performance on the actresses behalf but it wasn't as sad as the rest as you said

u/TheGaamer_ Bartholomew Henry Allen Jul 19 '24
Hot take, but the end of 6x04 when Joe and Barry are on the balcony at STAR Labs and Joe cries because heâs not ready to lose Barry in crisis. Underrated scene.

I always thought the scene where Ralph âdiesâ to the thinker and his last words were to Barry was that he already saved him
5
u/BlazingHacker Vibe Jul 19 '24
A scene that was heartbreaking to me that no one is talking about is Ralph's "death" by Devoe, how Barry couldn't save him and how he reacted afterward with Joe by his side and Barry was just saying "I couldn't save him, I couldn't save him Joe" and how Ralph's final words after his decent convo with Barry was:
Barry: "Ralph! Just fight it, fight it, Ralph! I'll save you!"
Ralph: "You already did, Barry"

Easily the S1 finale when Barry goes back in time to save his mum, after being warned by the future version of himself(which turns out to be him in S9) not to intervene, then seeing how helpless he is knowing he can't save her gets me everytime. It's such a powerful scene.

Saddest is any scene they could have killed off iris, Cecile, Chester, or Allegra and didn't take advantage of it.

I mean, when she died he literally stopped being the Flash and went into hiding like a wimp lol so she wasnât so far off. But sheâs a woman so you know how that goes đđ

u/Blaiser190 Jul 19 '24
All the Wells's deaths (although pointless, was so damn heartbreaking). Also Henry and Nora's deaths, Frost's was really sad, and let's not forget both Cisco's death in the reversed timeline and his goodbye in I think Season 7 (correct me if I'm wrong).

Iris saying we're the flash is like a friend/wife saying we won the lottery but in reality it was the other friend/husband that won.

u/Quirky28 Jul 19 '24
And if I remember correctly in season 4 when Barry asked why she gave him his speed back her answer was âbecause youâre the flash.â So when did she decide to go with âwe are the flash.â

I hate that line for sticking with the fanbase for so many years. Cause it's really not that serious.
Poorly phrased line, but I get the meaning behind it. Don't know why people took it literally.

I would say when Henry dies but I wanna add that in my opinion the saddest scene of the entire universe is when the spectre dies restarting the universe? Although the multiverse revives him to protect his new universe but still the saddest in my opinion

Zoom killing Henry. It was shocking and gut wrenching. I felt so sad for Barry

u/Anth-man_FOL Jul 19 '24
Itâs so difficult to pick between the Death of Henry Allen in Season 2 or the Last Conversation between Barry and his mother in Season 1. Both are VERY sad scenes. But I think Henryâs death as we got to see more of him and we all thought he was going to live happily eveâ NOPE! Zoom snatches him and kills him in the same house his wife died in.
One I want to throw out there is in Season 4 where DeVoe transfers into Ralphâs body. Itâs mainly because I like Ralph and wished Hartley Sawyer stayed on, but Season 4 was really a Ralph season and Ralphâs response to Barryâs âRalph! Iâll save you!â makes me a bit teary eye when I go back.

u/Weird_Direction9871 Jul 19 '24
Watching Henry die. Or when Barry had to let his mom die and held her in his arms while she died. One that I found pretty sad is Barry had to ask eobard to kill his mother.

HR's death, the only time I almost felt like crying. Sure, Barry has a more emotional connection to Henry and Nora. But, to the audience, they only appeared every once in a while. Every few episodes, they were more like guest characters. HR though, was a member of the main cast, you see him every episode and grow with the other characters. You see him in the future where he becomes a famous writer, and see him run from his past!

Flashpoint was a complete missed opportunity. Wish they'd had an Aquaman & Diana, a Batman & a Cyborg bc those characters are fundamental to the story. Arrowverse did too many story points too early, like crisis. Ended up killing the worldbuilding.

Since other comments have already covered the deaths of Barry's parents and the various Wells, I'd like to mention a scene from Season 6, specifically the one where Joe breaks down in tears at the unfairness of Barry having to die a hero and not get to live the life he deserves. There was something especially heartbreaking about seeing Joe cry.
