So Barry is cool with stealing, killing and kidnapping. So we’re sure he’s a hero. Also I’m not sure I remember correctly but no one has given them permission to lock people up in their special cells at Star labs right? He is a vigilante and I seem to remember them letting someone out a good while after they caught him because they needed to use him for something extremely dangerous, getting him killed btw, so they just keep them there indefinitely, in borderline inhumane cells. They also regularly drastically change timelines, sometimes for personal reasons or for the sake of the city. Which could and has had significant consequences for the rest of the world. Every change they make that causes damage to someone else that wouldn’t have happened is their fault. Yeah team flash are supervillains.

The worst part of season 3 was how adamant Barry was about unaliving Savatar to save Iris' life, up until the point HR did EXACTLY that by heroically sacrficing himself and redeeming his completely understandable mistake from earlier. After Iris was safe, Barry is all about forgiveness and redeeming his alternate self for Savatar's evil deeds... including killing HR. Dirt hadn't even settled on his grave and HR was already forgotten like the pen I walked into the room to get before something distracted me. But Iris is safe, so who cares?

I'm a forensic scientist, and I can tell you that yes a criminal can walk free if a key witness doesn't testify, especially someone involved in evidence handling and continuity. The Defence will say they needed to cross examine that person and essentially it will be considered unfair not to give them that opportunity. With all that said, the scene was still dumb - if a forensic scientist is unable to testify for good reason they can get an adjournment and move the trial to another date. Everyone will be pissed off about it, but it does happen, especially if people get sick.

Or, considering the fact that savitar was created by future Barry making a bunch of time remnants of himself, Barry could literally just go into the future and tell his future self not to do that, but I guess Barry doesn't want to ruin the timeline, but savitar never should have existed in the first place because future Barry is still Barry, and he knows how Savitar was created, so why doesn't he just not create him?

Even the savitar picking her up could be explained if they showed how his suit was impervious to cold, but again, ruined that option by having Caitlyn freeze him in the first fight Oh, and they could’ve explained savitar by showing that they did accept him, but it was all in his head that he thought they shunned him. Character assassination prevented

[@haku8135]

Even better they could've just had the power dampeners not work on her, because they learn her powers AREN'T dark energy based, like the metahumans. She's actually something else, a result of something from before the particle accelerator. Which she IS, Killer Frost GREATLY predates the particle accelerator, she had powers as a child, we SEE this in one of the episodes, it's actually a significant part of her backstory. Buuuuuuuut they just completely ignore that and treat her like every other metahuman. Cisco makes a cure for meta powers that relies on getting rid of dark energy in the body, and she's afraid he'll use it on her for no reason despite the fact it shouldn't have any effect on her because her powers aren't dark energy based. This show just doesn't know how to connect or follow through ANYTHING. Except maybe characters that wanna fuck, but even that is laughable.

[@ohboy-zi1yf]

in the comics shes a heat vampire, not just a meta with plain old ice powers. so anyone who touches her (except firestorm. bc. yknow) instantly freezes, and the area around her can get so cold that her skin is always covered in a thick armor of ice. i understand why they nerfed her bc they wrote firestorm out but they rlly took away everything that made her an effective villain.

[@haku8135]

@@ohboy-zi1yf They could've easily nerfed her JUST enough by again using my "dampeners don't work on her because she's not dark energy based" and also giving her a strong field of cold so things just start to freeze around her. While Barry doesn't FREEZE the second he touches her, first of all ice forms around her all the time so approaching her without slipping is almost impossible. Second he slows down the longer he's around her, and since she's based on Kaitlyn she knows how to take advantage of this to make catching her out more difficult for him. Over time she can get better at controlling this cold aura and direct it SPECIFICALLY to screw over Barry and then focus it on him to slow him way down much faster, forcing him to figure out how to stop her, and in a new way every time because she keeps adapting to what he uses to stop her. COULD be a really fucking cool dynamic! Instead it's written by the CW. And they made Gotham Knights. AFTER making Batwoman.

[@lightningjules658]

the thing is that they have the means to fix the battle issues SO EASILY, just by writing smart: •killer frost & captain cold can easily make him slip up or aim at the general vicinity of his feet so he can’t follow; •have mirror master always at an advantage - close to or even holding a reflective surface at all times (even his damn phone screen can work if you’re lazy); •have top’s vertigo ability be area of effect, not just when she chooses & that way we can still have jesse loose to her over & over, without it feeling redundant as that would be the nature of her power; •always have king shark’s battles near a source of water, since barry can run on water but can’t breathe under & viola, the perfect escape for king shark (could even be used as a fun set piece with the shark reaching out to catch him as he runs over); •the turtle naturally counters the speed force through the still force •magenta can literally fly - at least show her flying away so she doesn’t keep teleporting around the place; •establish that the mist can focus his usual form in just a certain body part, so he can still attack without being completely impervious; •weather wizard can create storms & lightnings to trip up the speedster; •i’m not even going to mention what they did to golden glider as that is just a hate crime; •the pied piper can HYPNOTISE people through SOUND, meaning you don’t even have to see him to be under his thrall; •dr alchemy can literally transform pretty much anything into pretty much anything, just imagine the “escape” solutions (softening the ground so barry can’t follow, icing up the floor even etc.) what i’m saying is that these characters were MEANT to counter barry’s speed, stop making it so that pure chance and luck get them out of these inescapable situations. were all my points too hard to grasp or too difficult to come up with? i think not.

[@mateushenriquepinheiro3197]

You speak literal facts, although if I remember correctly in the comics Top had a frictionless suit that made it so nothing could get a grip on him along with the suit giving him the ability to spin incredibly fast which also allowed him to fly away if he needed to. Most important of all, the Rogues always use diversion and strength in numbers when taking on the Flash. Plus they follow rules that makes them not be perceived by Flash as large threats(they don't kill, don't use drugs and focus solely on the job. They know for a fact that making things personal against the Flash would be a death sentence, if the Joker tried to pull a Jason Todd on the Flash, he would literally have his entire body broken to dust while being relocated to a small island in the middle of nowhere for no one to find, or he would be literally be sent to next week in a vegetative state.

For a future flash show/movie, they should have the writers come up very early in with specific rules and regulations that the speed force and a speedsters speed have to abide by, and then have two military strategist come together to come up with strategy's to stop eachother. One of the strategists is given more information about the rules of speed, with some information left out, and the other is given very little information about the speed, but given tools to learn more about it. As the strategists try to out strat eachother, the writers will stop either side from doing anything that "breaks the rules", and then these strategies will be used as the basis to write the plot from to allow for the flash to be consistent.

For a Flash show to work, the villains need to have at least one of the traits listed below: 1 - Speedster 2 - Too big or too heavy 3 - Able to react to Speedsters in any way 5 - Genius-level intelect and strategy 6 - Political connections and resources. This way, Barry can't just grab and relocate the villain. Speedsters can do the shit he does; enemies that are to big or heavy can't be just taken and relocated; enemies that can react to Speedsters in any way can prepare countermeasures; geniuses can hatch plans that will work to keep the Speedster away; and enemies with strong political connections can be freed with the power of said connections. THis way, the Flash needs to think of other ways to nullify the threat that can't be taken care of in three seconds. In the case of an enemy with political connections that is a regular human, then they can be relocated, but freed, and thus they become an enemy that the Flash can't beat with the OP-ness of super speed alone.

Or just any enemy that's very durable, intangible, or requires something other than brute force to beat. Like for example the gas guy, metal guy, and lava/tar guy from the previous seasons(Cannot remember a single one of their names). If the show was filled with more enemies like this then most plot holes in this video wouldn't even happen. Another thing they could've done is just make Flash a bit slower and have him get faster as the show goes on. Like maybe in ep 1 he's about as fast as a car but then eventually gets faster and faster with each ep. That way all of his enemies are a bit more of a threat, there are less plot holes, and Flash can still eventually reach his comic accurate speed that he's known for.

[@artist0154]

I add another one, I add another one, make them untouchable, literally, if you touch them you might get infected, or they are intangible, that physical contact will result in a problem. And not to make most of the villains in this series useless, just make them at the speed of thought, if Barry has to think to go fast (at least before his flash-time) the villains too, example Top or Magenta work if they are metahumans with "area range" instead of 1v1 powers, covering an area of 2-3 meters around them, in the moment they hear those speedster sounds pum, they use their powers, just like that

Yeah I really don’t understand why Savitar killed Rival at the beginning of the season instead just breaking him out of prison and manipulate Rival into freeing him from the speedforce in order to defeat Flash but Savitar,does the villain kills henchmen cliche,kills him while being carefree in order to add shock value

To be fair, Savatar is still Barry, and Barry is frequently unable to find people just because they leave the room or turn a corner. Wouldn't be surprised if most of those villains that "escape" are just literally hiding behind the door of the next room they walk into :-p

It would have been great if in Season 1 Barry wasn’t super-duper fast, but just like fast enough to outrun cars and stuff but not fast enough to dodge bullets. Then each season he can actually get faster and faster in a more noticeable fashion so like he’s not OP until the final season. Then these speed-inconsistencies wouldn’t be too much of an issue.

[@leonardocerqueiradias6168]

I get the idea, but a "slow Flash" probably wouldn't be very popular among fans in Season 1. I think they should aproach it like Smallvile did, having smart conflits that can't be solved by just punching really fast and save the big action for Flash v Reverse Flash.

[@TheInfiniteAmo]

That and deciding that Barry isn't supposed to be some hyper-intelligent genius but actually have him be very overconfident and prone to mistakes would have excused a lot of the necessary inefficiencies in how he captures and deals with his villains. The problem is that eventually the writers were always going to hit the point that Barry would be TOO experienced and TOO OP to justify having normal weekly villains to fight, but that's when you just kill or write off the character and have a follow on series with Wally or something. CW of course doesn't have the balls or the actual vision to pull that off.

Honestly I don’t mind the banter with criminals but the problem with it in this show is that Barry is incompetent. When Spider-Man does banter he still beats the bad guy because he uses his powers. Barry just loses making the banter worthless.

[@randomaccountwithmusic4206]

Spidey banters while pummeling the bad guy into submission, Barry just stands there and talk when 99% of the time there is no information he tries to gather, it's just chit chat, his objective is to capture, incapacitate the bad guy 99% of the time and hes just like "Hey, sup, im the flash, here doing flash things, I like to talk, who are you? Are you doing okay? Hey what nice weather we are having" *Gets hit by fucking lightning because hes talking to the fucking weather wizard*

[@ZentoBrinebg]

@@randomaccountwithmusic4206 and even then useless chit chat wouldn't be all that bad if he sill *USED HIS FUCKING POWERS*. Making Barry cocky is singlehandedly the best way to nerf him imo, after all when you can run at flashtime ofc you'd get over your head. The problem is that Barry isn't cocky, he's fucking dumb. An excellent example of how a cocky flash banters with his foes is the kill the justice league trailer, he's still doing useless chit chat, but not standing in one fucking place and forgetting he's a speedster.

[@redandblue1013]

It might not be that bad if he beat them (he doesn’t) but super speed and NOT talking presents a huge advantage compare to other heroes talking, because he doesn’t even need to announce his presence at all or give them the chance to form a single thought before they’re in star labs or cuffed

[@maxzapsgamingzepzeap2337]

Honestly even if Barry did always relocate them there are many ways to still create conflict Often times Barry goes after a villain immediately after learning they exist and rarely has any knowledge of who they are and what they can do during their first encounter So if he were to relocate them, it’d be easy to explain them escaping by saying that, since they didn’t know about their powers, the cell they’re in isn’t specially built to handle that specific power and thus use said power to escape For example, let’s say that Magenta was immediately relocated. Star Labs hasn’t had a Force wielding Meta Human before and thus she could break out of her cell by using the Force to make the glass explode or force the door off its hinges or something Or, since Star Lab cells are made of glass, and all glass is at least SOMEWHAT reflective, Mirror Man could’ve warped into his cell door on one side and warped out on the other to escape

[@gaopinghu7332]

Still, he could've just thrown a punch regardless.

[@majorknight859]

1.That would still fall apart immediately after the first time since they'd be aware regular cells can't hold them 2. The star labs cell can hold any Meta. I wouldn't be surprised if magenta couldn't manipulate anything outside, And the mirror master could use the reflective surface to move around the inside but couldn't ever get out. Kinda like that girl who could teleport but couldn't teleport outside the cell

[@LordTrashCan]

I'm truly curious as to how much you'd hate the episode where Barry literally outruns a nuclear explosion that happens right in front of him

[@supersani21]

The guy spends atleast 45 minutes in Flash Time while the bomb is in the process of blowing up. Overpowered isn't even the word one can use. Barry is a god at this point. If you can assume the speed of detonation of the nuke to be similar to that a uranium nuke, it would take 10 nanoseconds since detonation for the explosion to begin and even assuming that he can defuse the bomb with lightning upto the point of no return being 0.8 microseconds, the guy spent atleast 45 minutes worth of time in 0.8 microseconds. To put that into perspective, if even moved a meter in that time, his speed would be = 1 / (8 x 10^-7) = 0.125 x 10^7 = 1.25 x 10^6 m/s which is already Mach 3642 or 0.4% the speed of light. And he didn't just move a meter, a moved to and from Star Labs multiple times to pick up Caitlyn and Cisco, even Harry while also getting Jesse into Flash Time. He also went into a different universe, picked up Jay Garrick and got him to help out, had time to get Cisco and Caitlyn and Harry into Flash Time, then he had time to cry and bring Iris into Flash TIme. He even spent time going into the Speed Force Prison to get the DNA ball and throw it at the bomb but atleast the Speed Force Prison itself has time working differently there. The guy not only got 4 non-speedsters into Flash Time, he went to and fro from Star Labs to the bomb, went to AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT UNIVERSE AND CAME BACK WITH A SPEEDSTER, has everyone try out their solutions and still had time to talk to Iris and only then he gets tired. Devoe shouldn't be able to do ANYTHING TO HIM at any point. You know what? Even if we're being generous with the speed of the explosion, let's say it will actually explode in 1 millisecond which is like literally over a thousand times slower, its still unbelievably overpowered. Because even if lets say he only travelled 1km in this time (which he didn't because he did a lot more), he's still at Mach 2915.
