Hope you’re having fun with the whole Arrowverse. It’s a lot of fun for me personally, I love it. Hope we can see you watching other shows from this whole universe like Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow. I know you’re a decent way into Arrow but they’re all necessary to watch for the amazing crossovers too to be honest. 🤩

[@rimapetrosyan1778]

right? i always forget he’s a csi honestly

[@splonkybonky]

@@rimapetrosyan1778 I feel like they got rid of all the good parts of the flash and just left the bad. Barry being CSI was what made him Barry Allen and not just The Flash. I also don't like the idea of two villains a season because it just comes off sloppy and weird. There's not enough time to start up side plots and give time for spotlight on the villain. What's sad is I would be so happy for another repeat of season 3 which at the time of it releasing I thought was a kind of weak season overall. Wasn't bad but it wasn't better than the previous two. Season 7 showed me how to be grateful and man I just want the old flash back.

[@farfetched2285]

Made him a dense superhero with no other reason to fight with other than, "I have to."

[@a.s6922]

Damn this brings so many memories back

[@kuivia]

"you can still catch him tho" yeah that's basicly the flash, i mean i loved tons of things about this show but it gets so frustrating when he just doesn't do what he can do instantly cuz they can't think of a better way to make him have a struggle..

[@AnbuPrincess]

As if it's just The Flash that does this lol. Any TV show plot over a 43 minute episode and has 15 to 20 ish episodes a season will have characters written to prolong whatever villain, mystery, problem, drama, romance etc. in every way you can think of. Even with the writers making the Flash struggle, and not instantly solve shit in 5 minutes, the show was still CW's number 1 rated show for several seasons so that wasn't even a main issue for people watching. It's just something funny to joke about.

[@kuivia]

@@AnbuPrincess no that is a main issue, because not every other character on tv can outrun time itself, they could've written that way better

[@MrWordcraft]

@@kuivia Agreed, dude can time travel but can't catch a dude who's superpower is making copies of himself? lol

I remember the day The Flash aired. I was in 9th grade, and my sister and me were staying after school for robotics practise. Our brother picked us up, took us to a gas station where we assed around for a while buying food, then we saw on the TV there that The Flash was premiering in like an hour. So we got out shit, rushed home and cleaned up just in time for it to start. I wasn't a huge DC fan back then but I loved every minute of the first episode and couldn't wait for the next lol.
