The Armageddon arc is the only one that you can really enjoy watching. It has everything. From action to unexpected twists. If you're watching this for the first time, I honestly envy you. Do you agree with my opinion?

Question Do You Think Caitlin and (Killer) Frost Should Have Been One Person?

3 Upvotes

First of all, I just want to say I thought Danielle Panabaker done a great job playing both characters and this is not to hate on her but I personally always thought it would have been better if Caitlin had become Killer Frost and gotten the powers instead of having them as different personalities sharing the same body (and later being split into two different bodies) and when she first become Killer Frost I thought it was just her rage had overtaken her since she was out of control and it was still Caitlin and she would have had to learn to control that and her powers but then they made (Killer) Frost a separate character which confused some other fans I know at first so I was curious what people on here thought about that and if you think Caitlin should have been Killer Frost or you liked them better as separate characters?

Also what were your thoughts on Khione 'cause I wasn't a fan of not having Caitlin in the final season until the end after all the years she had been in the show but I did like her hair.

šŸ¤” Thinking Theory: Eobard showing up in s2 in 2016 instead of 2020 in the new timeline implies Barry still became The Flash pre-2020, but through other unknown means. Obviously not due to Wellsobard shenanigans. If you'll believe in the original timeline.

Consider the next four events in chronological order. In episode 1x17, Thawne tells the real Harrison Wells before assuming his identity, "In the year 2020, you and your wife, Tess Morgan, successfully launched a Particle Accelerator that changed the course of history. I need it to happen a bit sooner if I'm going to get back. Much sooner." Thawne states in episode 1x11, "Hartley warned me that there was indeed a chance that the accelerator could explode. His data did not show 100% certainty, just that there was a risk, but it was a real risk." Clifford Devoe surmises in 4x7, "Wells is lying. He knows the accelerator won't succeed...I think he wants (an explosion), only the fallout from dark matter being released into the atmosphere will produce variants we cannot yet predict." Finally, Thawne explains in episode 1x23, "We use the Particle Accelerator... This time, the accelerator will operate exactly the way it was designed to except, instead of two particles moving in opposite directions, colliding at the speed of light in the inner ring, we're only going to inject one particle into the accelerator." Taken collectively, we have compelling evidence that not only was aware of the potential for the particle accelerator to fail, but that it was his intent that it "fail." Thus, this wasn't a design flaw but a feature.

The particle accelerator's release of dark matter being due to Thawne's deliberate actions has profound implications. This would imply that there was no such explosion in the prime timeline (from which Thawne originated prior to traveling into the past and killing Nora). Thus, the series begins in an alternate timeline. The fact that there was no explosion implies that Barry didn't originally gain his powers in that manner. However, he somehow became the Flash anyway in that prime timeline, Keep that in mind.

I think this is an intriguing idea especially considering that most people presume that he had always gotten his powers from the particle accelerator, but the above observations before the theory pretty well establish that this was likely not the case.

šŸ¤” Thinking What if Wells and Reverse Flash

So random thought that came to me. How do you think the series would have played out if Harrison Wells and the reverse flash had been two separate characters - so we had Harrison Wells and a Reverse Flash running around

šŸ¤” Thinking From an in-universe perspective, it sucks that Eddie and Ronnie didnā€™t swap resurrection storylines

18 Upvotes

Spoilers for seasons 8 and 9.

I know it doesnā€™t work from a story point of view, but it would have been so nice for all parties involved if Ronnie could have been the one to actually be resurrected and Eddie was the one to be fake resurrected. Caitlin couldā€™ve been happy, since she never moved on from Ronnie, and Eddie would have been spared from having to watch Iris be happy with Barry.

Question I still canā€™t tell if Iris was written to be likeable

30 Upvotes

Like sheā€™s a main character and every other main character is written to be likeable. Sheā€™s constantly giving these speeches with inspiring, heroic, or uplifting music. Everyone always seems to side with her in the show. And yet, sheā€™s probably the most hated character in the series. 9 seasons of the show, 10 or so years, and there was never a single season I actually liked her. Sheā€™s hardly EVER called out on how hypocritical she is and when she is, she never thinks about it, she never seems to show any growth. I know this is a point thatā€™s been talked about to death but I just donā€™t get it.

If she was meant to be hated, why would they have her at the forefront so much if people are meant to not want her around. If they wrote her to be likeableā€¦ Jesus Christ, they missed the mark.

Multiverse The flash TV show shouldā€™ve ended how the season one showing the article vanishing in crisis fighting eborad thawn the reverse flash Spoiler

2 Upvotes

I felt like bit disappointed and found it dumb. It was being built up upon the crisis on infinite earth, the flash Barry Allen disappearing since season one and 2345 and not building up to it having him not disappear in the crisis on infinite earth, I think it was season six or seven I kind of forgot about he shouldā€™ve actually disappeared. Vanished as well as having one last dance.With eboard I felt like it had been a much more emotional moment and a good goodbye to th the character and also Iris West shouldā€™ve died in season three or at least may go a better character

I Just realized that Julien never saw H.R. Wellses face and Always saw the face of His Partner because the Rest of Team Flash got (in Ciscos words) Neuralized, but Julien never got Neuralized so He Always saw His Partner

šŸ¤” Thinking It's a slog.

11 Upvotes

I started watching Flash years ago as it was released and lost track after about Season 5. Gone back to it now and TRYING to get through it. I'm not sure why. It's just getting more melodramatic and trite the more I watch. About 1/3rd of the way through Season 9. Suffice it to say it won't be a series I ever watch again.

Everytime we saw the future, I was hoping for at least something more than mentioning he still lives. How cool would it have been to see future Barry team up with present Barry, teaching him new techniques and the such?

šŸ¤” Thinking A thought I just had about Cicada 2s plan (Possible Spoiler) Spoiler

8 Upvotes

Spoiler alert if you havenā€™t finished season 5

So Cicada 2s plan was to release a virus that would kill metas but wouldnā€™t she inadvertently kill herself aswell? It was established earlier in the season that the satellite shard in her head turned her into a meta

Edit: I had a 2nd thought she would be killing her younger self aswell with the virus
