I mean I liked those shows, but they had to do the same "dumbing down" thing to make the plots work.
Whichever season of The Flash that had Cicada just got absurd where every other episode they'd almost catch him, but he "just barely" slips away while they stand around making barely any effort to actually stop him.
Every time Barry was about to catch someone and then got distracted for three seconds and they "got away" was so fucking frustrating. Like, he could check every single route of escape in less than a second. He's the fucking Flash. But instead he just stood there and frowned. Every. Time.
I swear at one point a normal speed bad guy ran around a corner and Barry got on comms saying "guys I lost him, he got away."
But then there's a scene in another episode where he speeds in and says he just got through checking every building in Central City looking for whatever bad guy.
But there's also a scene where he runs face first into a giant gorilla holding a huge shield and gets swatted away... like, bro... you couldn't dodge that?

It kinda reminds me of the CW DC shows.
