I hated how Godspeed, who in the comics starts out as Barry's friend who after a murderer kills his brother tracks said killer down and kills him and becomes an extreme vigilante who tries to convince Barry he should kill the worst criminals. But in the show he's just generic "I will be the fastest muhahahaha."

I like that he says The Flash season 7 is "worse than you remember", despite the fact that practically no-one will have watched it in the first place. Can't remember a show you forgot in the first place. This video is pretty unforgettable though. Great job!

Missed one thing. The frost ark is insanely hypocritical, I mean they fired an actor for his past and then thought it was a good idea to make an episode about how frosts crimes were in the past and she’s changed. I’m not the only one who sees a problem with this?

It does make sense that a family where step siblings get married will think that 4 strangers are their kids

The god awful cgi, Barry break dancing, we really hit rock bottom I feel

When "Allegra's hot" is one of the reasons to watch a show, you know it's garbage

The worst thing about Iris's little speed force connection is that it destroys the whole point of Nash sacrifing himself to power up the speed force and just gives the pride to Iris

Surprised you didn't touch on the absolute horrid and cliche dialogue that Godspeed had. I mean, those lines seriously made me wonder if we the viewers were supposed to consider Godspeed a joke. Then there's Reverse Flash. It kinda got touched on but I feel like it's worth mentioning that if Barry really has become fast enough to make RF look like he's moving in slow motion then he shouldn't have needed any help with Godspeed, period.

Beside CW writing in general, I think the main issue the show faces is that The Flash is arguably the most broken OP character in comics. It works in the books, but in the show that means they have to write around the fact that every episode should realistically be less that 60 seconds.

When the speed force started crying cuz she was alone and then it did the zoom out on earth I laughed so hard 😂

The Flash's main enemies in the comics have one of a handful of methods of combating him: Slowing him down through some external means Forcing HIM to slow down through some means Preventing him from slowing down Outthinking him The fact they gave him speed force enhanced brainwaves basically removes three of these weaknesses, meaning that the only way to beat him is to make him slower than the bad guy.

So on the light saber thing... when did Barry learn how to use a sword? Because that in it's self takes a lot of practice.

"The forces are my kids" is the cheesiest and most stupid line ever in the show. Also 34:54 was pretty hillarious.

They should’ve just chosen the best main villains from the comics and then make separate seasons for each of them instead of what they are doing now

I l8ke how Barry fought the Speed Force, the very sorce of his powers, and won. The Speed Force literally could have taken his Speed, but it let him use it against itself. Also, it was great how they explained Frost and Caitlin being in separate bodies. Caitlin started getting headaches, fell ill and began sleeping alot, and then they were in separate bodies. It's extraordinary the size of the mound of cocaine the writers would have to have snorted in order to think these and the topics in the video were good ideas

I definitely agree that the forces are not Barry's kids, cause putting into consideration your points of evidence, the only thing Barry and Iris did was merge an already existing vessel, to a prehistoric element of nature. They didn't create them out of nowhere. Not to mention, Joe clearly said "You brought them into this world". So what is that supposed to mean? If Barry brings someone from another dimension or something into Earth prime, then that person would be Barry's child? LMAO. Barry brought them, he didn't create them. Even in science, you could at least treat robots and stuff that you create as your "children", but all Barry did was bring the forces to physical existence, almost like discovering what already exist. Claiming parental rights over someone/something that you did not even create is just dumb.

In my opinion the show was fated to have a downward spiral after "WE are the flash". The motivation behind that type of thinking that made that decision is the same type as "The forces are our children" and by accepting the first one and making it integral to how the show worked moving forward was the type of motivation, thinking, and decision making that led to everything bad that makes up what the show is today.

This was the season that made me finally give up on The Flash as a whole. After the whole "Forces" arc, I decided that I was officially done with this show. And by what I've seen bits and pieces of afterwards with Godspeed and non-stop filler even more ridiculous than before, I knew I made the right decision.

All I'm saying is with Eva, she's basically Hanged Man from JoJo and just a reminder Hanged Man was Borderline unstoppable simply because reflections are insanely hard to counter. They literally beat him by trapping him in Polnareffs eye (because his main weakness was that he could be attacked inside of whatever reflection he was in) and then polnareff turning him into a life sized pin cushion. After about 3-4 episodes of chasing the mf.

Arrowverse ended after crisis on infinite earths. Change my mind.

When I heard that it was Barry and Iris's love that brought back the speed force I immediately started laughing 😂😂😂😂😂 😂

Remember back when everyone thought that Arrow Season 4 was the worst season of the Arrowverse? Well that's a big change now!

In relation to Eric Wallace's graphic novel story structure, I feel like another example of smaller arcs within a season being done well is Agents of Shield, namely season 4. It has three arcs, and each of them built off each other before culminating and all coming back together in the season finale. But at the same time, each arc is its own story with its own satisfying resolution.

The speed force becoming a human is the equivalent of Kratos switching his body with a gold fish before fighting Baldur. Just why?

"I think I understand the rules of this universe" - no, you don't. No one does, because the writers keep changing them. This show is a dumpster fire now. There's no stakes, time travel is inconsistent, bad dialogue, the writer's keep trying to turn Iris into a major character, the Speed Force is Barry's mommy issues, everyone's always crying, etc. and etc. - CW please just end this show now. Also, that final lightsaber battle was cringe af....Christ, now I know why Cavanaugh bailed on this sh*t show.

The big problem with season 7 is dialogue, turning something metaphorical (the forces as “kids) and making it literal. I honestly still hate seasons 4 and 5 more than 7 but that's because I can just roll my eyes when cringe happens. It doesn't trigger me no matter what I'm watching. My only real complaint was the three straight filler episodes. Filler won't be a problem in season eight because minus the crossover they only have 13 episodes.

Yeah when I watched the Lightsaber fight at the end, I was like: "OKay--they don't care anymore." It's just a paycheck project for Grant and the rest of the crew..😕

I dropped the show in the season with Cicada. When they teleported his dagger into space (instead of a different Earth), told him about it and then stood around doing nothing was enough for me to finally quit.

One thing i must add: You can also put Agents of Shield as a example of how to use various story arcs in one season, season 4 used 3 story arcs, each one telling a diferent story, the first one was about Ghost Rider, the second one was about robots replacing people and the third one was about being in a virtual reality. And guess what? Not only these arcs have a connective tissue than joins them together but also the placement of each arc leads to the next and most importantly, the ending serves as a pay off of these three diferent arcs in a satisfactory way.

The writers need to watch this so they can improve in their show

Time travel got me so confused so in season 1’s finale Thawne said you had to focus on the memory you wanted to travel to in order to go back to whenever you want to go back so how the hell do they travel to the future since they have no memories of the future

About the flashpoint: I totally agree that the season is really badly written, but it just occured to me, that flash could make a flashpoint by going to the future to see Nora, if he somehow makes an affect on Nora running back in past to see her father, when she has not seen him even once

Lol. And here I thought my biggest problem with the show is that they literally repeat the same lesson every season. And for some reason all the characters seem to forget anything they learned from the pervious season and start all over in character development.

Worse than I remember?? I remember it pretty bad, how WORSE CAN IT BE??? Edit: nvm, first reason alone makes it worse than I remember. 💀💀

I think the lack of frost is because she is a new mother and has that as her first priority, but because she is a fan favorite character they have to use her at least a couple times....im also betting that allegra sister (can't remember her name lol) died right away is probably because of her doing other projects as well

32:55 One thing regarding the 'Forces Arc' that makes limiting it to a handful episodes even worse is that, in the comics, the overall storyline is way more complex, and part of it even tied into Scott Snyder's JL run (as the 'Still Force' is one of the 'Negative Forces' shown in his run). On the top of all of that, I'm quite sure it wasn't even finished yet by the time S7 writing began! I'm glad I dropped the show right at the beginning of this arc... From what I see, they have managed to royally screw up in every way possible.

At one point I loved the Arrowverse; there was a small moment in time when all of the shows were Good at the same time. I couldn't wait to watch each episode of Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, & Legends. I managed to suffer through Arrow to its end, but Supergirl lost me around season 5 or 6, the one when Lena becomes the bad guy cuz shes mad she wasn't told about Kara's alter ego. That was so convoluted to me that I couldn't continue. I didn't even bother with season 7 of The Flash, 6 was just too terrible. I'd watch Legends if I cared enough

6:00 I can feel how annoyed he was with the shows lack of logic with time travel when he just threw the marker at the board😂😂😂

Your "ARE YOU HIGH!!"s especially at 16:37 was so comical, they actually make me laugh out loud. They just have such a vibe to it...

I stopped watching when the forces of nature started calling Barry and Iris “mom” and “dad”, they’re not treated as avatars for their respective forces (unlike the Speedforce which takes the form of Barry’s mom when it interacts with them all) but all of them had their own lives prior to getting their powers, also they completely changed the dynamic between Barry and the Speedforce, even in season 7 she still refers to Barry in a way a mother would but she then all of sudden starts calling him “father.”

*looks at the title* me: I mean I remembered being bad already but please pop off king.

3:16 that really was my first question when they revived that chick: "Didn't they resolve Iris having speed?" Her powers literally came out of thin air from a episode that resolved itself. I swear, this season frustrated me as much as confused me

I think Barry was paranoid because the last time he went to the future. He watched his daughter fade from existence. Although granted later when he was dealing with his 'Children' he went to the past to get wells before using Wells to go to the past. Why couldn't he use Wells to go to the future as well?

I'm a little sad with myself that I managed to make it to *season 8* before realizing I had not genuinely smiled throughout a whole season since season 2. Season 4 was the last one I can say I enjoyed. If I had to rewatch it, season 3 is the furthest I would go, if that.

30:05 it's even worse because by around season 3 it was implied that he'd finally caught up to reverse-flash in terms of speed and then they both kept getting faster the show going on because the show just hand waved away the reason why the reverse-flash was as fast as Barry by the time crisis on earth-x happened even though Barry should have been way faster than him at that point somehow they were even in speed

Honestly season 4 is where I started to worry about this show. The Flash was always kind of the mid-point comedy wise between Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow I felt. And then when Legends of Tomorrow started being listed in things like "Best shows on tv" by popular publications it seems The Flash just decided to go all in on the comedy from season 4 onwards but without writers or characters that were really equipped for it and it's been a downward spiral since. Don't get me wrong the show has SO MANY problems but I just don't think the show is funny enough to get away with a crap story. I mean even meh episodes of Legends story wise are watchable because the writers and cast have got the comedy nailed down and just watching the cast interact is a lot of fun, with The Flash it's just Barry Allen and his bunch of boring episode padding.

Honestly the thing about crossovers I kinda have mixed feelings about ... These seasons were designed to be on television and airing on different days for different arrowverse shows and when the crossover happened you would have entire weeks dedicated to them which felt amazing ... But on the other hand I don't watch TV anymore so going back and watching these series where I have control really screws up how to enjoy the crossovers and stuff

Not only is Jay returning problematic from the point of crisis, and who was the first flash etc, but he's also the doppelganger of Barry's dad - meaning he'd replace Barry's dad in the shared universe. So in this universe did Barry's dad never really exist?

"How do you beat someone with the ability to stop and manipulate time?" TFS Vegeta: "Guldo? Cut his head off then throw a dog biscuit at him."

26:53 I mean, he's right, she's not a person, at best she's the physical Avatar/face of the Speedforce, but the Force can exist without that form

I just want to throw out a compliment to you my guy, your jokes are on point. Getting caught doing a line by the camera in the beginning, the tissue box. Simple jokes but you do them so well. Keep up the good work

My biggest problem with season 7, just finished it yesterday, was that Barry was always objectively right in his approach to almost all problems, but his plans were presented as the wrong ones and literally every single character had a problem with how he wanted to do things, Barry is supposed to be team leader, it’s literally called team FLASH!! Since the comics introduced Godspeed with The new 52 I’ve been waiting for the force storm that made a bunch of new speedsters, every time there was a crazy lightning storm on the show I thought, “this is it, it’s finally happening”, the way they handled Godspeed was total garbage. Giving Barry a bunch of rookie speedsters to baby sit could have been a good way to raise stakes again and having Godspeed kill the new speedsters to steal their speed would have made him a credible threat on the levels of Eobard Thawn, the CW flash writers never understood the assignment, it’s like they watched the movie instead of reading the book for their report

8:11 Why a cosmic power decided it wanted to take human form as the mother of one of its speedsters and have a tantrum like a spoiled kid will forever be a mystery.

4:20 Didn't they try to say that Iris touching Barry's hand while he was in a coma at the start of Season 1 somehow gave her some of the Speed Force. That was the stupid explanation if I remember.

This show doesn’t even feel like the flash anymore. It feels like riverdale ft the flash

5:30 I haven't seen the show since season 4 finale but Barry could have meant that by knowing the future he could change the timeline somehow and just didn't want to take a risk of creating another flashpoint that way because that is technically "altering" the past right?? Or am I missing something??

Black Siren survived Crisis but didn't replace Earth Prime Laurel but it was explained as Oliver allowing Earth 2 Laurel to live. I don't know if that would apply to Jay but, yeah thought I would make the note :)

That whole these are our kids (forces) and them calling barry and iris mom and dad was beyond infuriating. Side note: It never sat well with me since the beginning, 2 people getting together and married, who lived and were raised together basically as brother and sister and who each call joe dad in barry and iris. Not to mention how quick and cool joe was with it when they got together.

16:47 "are you high" came from his heart

A small nitpick: According to the rules of this universe, you absolutely CAN create a flashpoint by going forward in time! If you go forward in time, you will probably learn something from the future. So once you go back to your time, this knowledge you otherwise would not have will change the timeline! So the flashpoint will be experienced for the people in the future, just not for Barry and the "current" timeline. Now you might be thinking, "Well then he could just not tell anyone what he learned or do anything differently than the original timeline!". My response would be, how would he know what he's doing is different from the original timeline? Imagine having to second-guess every decision you make because it might cause a flashpoint for your future children, without ever knowing which decision will be the one that does it! The only way to for sure prevent a flashpoint for future people is to not go into the future at all.

This show needs to end.

10:30 Even if it was a 'no living dopples' loophole (as in Garrack and his wife can exist because Henry and Nora died long before Crisis) that should get Harry and Jessie a free ride as Earth 1 Wells has been dead about as long as Nora, and Jessie doesn't even have an Earth 1 counterpart because Harrison Wells was dead.

And the worst thing was that cisco left the team on that season

Haven't seen this show since season 3 and that lighting saber fight had me dead.

Have you seen Madvocate’s videos on the Flash. He talks about the stupidity of how Flash uses his powers in the show, and how it presents multiple problems in the fights scenes. They’re pretty helpful with why the show is bad

Ahhh, this video makes me feel SO validated. I agree with literally ever single point you made, I just wish you had talked more about how bad the second half of the season was (even if the first half was WAY worse).

I like how season 7 is so bad that there can be tens of videos that are 40+ minutes long criticising it and STILL they all have some points that haven't been raised.

I think I speak for all former fans of this show when I say we all wish we could write a season that starts around season 2-3

Truly I had a reason to skip season 7 of Flash. Because your video tells it all Gio.

8:31 and even an entity as old as the Speedforce, having received human emotions like a month ago, will have a very low tolerance for any of them, as well as quite possibly the emotional maturity of a child so her crying and screaming when things don't go her way would almost make sense.

I just re-watched Season 7 and it really is the worst Flash season. I can think of several reasons: - There were no actual main villains. This season tried to finish the Mirror Monarch arc only on due to COVID, which I understand and wanted to get it over with, but instead of having one concrete main villain that leaves their own presence throughout the seasons, the showrunners introduced 2 clumsily written villains: The Speed Force and Godspeed. The Speed Force as a villain felt extremely forced, and Godspeed was a straight up Power Rangers villain who had to real incentive other than "me want more speed". As a result, not only were we left with a disjointed season, but a disjointed season with terrible low stakes villains. - Wells and Cisco's departure. I think in the Flash team, Cisco and variations of Wells are the only consistently good members. The actors are phenomenal (especially Tom Cavanaugh). Seeing them leave the team left me empty. Caitlyn is not even Caitlyn anymore, we got left with an Iris 2.0 and Chester P. Runk (who is kinda ok). The team dynamic in this season was broken very early on. This season is basically confirmation that Barry doesn't need Star Labs anymore. - The tension was oddly extremely low-stakes in this season. Barry has seemingly achieved whatever he wanted now (even his confidence and full Speed Force powers in the finale. The writing oddly depicted every problems in almost every episode in this season not as stressful as the previous ones, or we as audiences already guess the episode structure already. - The formula got so old, predictable and repetitive that no one cares anymore.

The show lost me when they made Iris smarter than Caitlyn and Felicity. Now if were about fashion, sure, hands down with her fine behind. But with problem solving? They lost me. The show was actually doom from the jump when they made Iris and Barry siblings. And, oh yeah, the first actual flashpoint was when the reverse flash killed Barry's mom, which altered how he got his powers and why Eobard ended causing Barry to get his powers and training him to use them. One question was never answered, that's been bugging me, whatever happened to the original flash? The flash that saved Barry as a child, he would have been stuck there as well because both speedsters were pulling on the speedforce, which was the reason I thought kept Eobard stuck there.

Any of us could probably write a better season than the shows writers themselves

12:15 Barry's newest power "Talk no Jutsu"

a question: If barry needed an ally to defeat godspeed, why not the black flash, a being who is serving the speed force so he won't become a problem later

16:12 Hilarious enough, it's not 2x he got boosted... It was 3x cause SpeedForce gave them a boost to fight godspeed

The future is still the past to something and presumably, given the mug analogy, it would create a ripple effect.

This was somewhat okay at first i personally loved the first episode I think that it was amazing but then...

For the Flashpoint 'point', if he travels to the future and changes something, it would create a separate timeline from that point where he changed something which would be considered the Flashpoint.

Literally got an ad for the flash right before the video played😭

You didn't even mention how corny Chillblaine was

One problem that was pointed out to me is that they mess up the characterization of Xs and by extension, Impulse because while yes they are the flash's children from the future they are grown adults so they should not act like little kids this problem is huge with Xs and one example with the burping contest cause while I understand they were trying to show a sibling relationship that is not the way to do it. Another thing that really bothered me was the terrible line he is my thawne from Bart like that made no sense because they didn't even explain why godspeed hated Bart specifically. And I know this is a weird gripe but why is despero human his design is so good especially his buffed up one.Do they still not have a budget like jeez its a crossover make him alien

12:03 Barry used talk no jutsu, it was super effective 12:48 Oh and Iris too

41:12 I can't ignore him saying "maked" instead of "made "

I was so in love with The Flash for so long. Then I tried watching season 7. Halfway through the first episode something just felt off and I just couldnt finish it. I procrastinated watching it long enough for the season finale to come along, then I started seeing reviews and clips and realized me stopping there was the right choice. I work aloy so when I watch a show, I see it as me choosing to put my time into something. I figure if the show has really derailed like this, its not worth wasting my time. It waa fun while it lasted

Season 7 sucked because we had to labor through the end of the Mirror Mistress arc, then that god-awful "Forces" arc, and when we finally got to the Godspeed arc, they rushed it. The Godspeed arch should've been a season long arc....Oh, and now, we talk out our problems to save the world.

The thing is everyone was effect by Dark Matter the night of the partical excelator blew up. It sent Dark Matter out across the entire city hitting every single person. So even though Iris didnt get powers she was still effected by it. Meaning that she can she can still do things as long as an outside source is the cause. I think the same can be said for every single person in Central City. As for Camila not being able to do the same, she was brought into the mirror dimension through the use of the mirror gun, not being directly dragged into it like Iris was. EDIT 1 (might be more but i dont want to wait to the end of the video to comment on them because i might forget and dont want to give a second view lol) What Barry was talking about is going to the future and coming back with knowledge of what happens and changes thing in essence creating a third Flashpoint (first one was when he went back in the during the fight with weather wizard and stopping him to soon and changing the time line ( yes it saved Cisico so it was okay ) so it made a Flashpoint in a way ). EDIT 2 The reason why so many Earths were combined when Earth Prime was created was not just because of Oliver but because of the 7 chosen Heros as well, so all their earths were combined. The reason why Jay Garrick and his wife survived is because Barry's parents were dead and they were doplegangers of them so their was no other version of them alive on Barry's Earth when crisis happened. The only reason that Harrison Wells got revived the way he did was because Nash and every other wells was killed off.

The Godspeed arc felt way to rushed, and honestly that wasn’t even enough to cure the pain of that rest of the season.

I apologize profusely for the length of this comment. 5:36, If I remember correctly from Season 3, the problem established for going to the future was not being able to predict what you’d see when you got there. “A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.” and all that. Much of Season 3 revolves around Barry seeing an out of context moment from the future where Savitar stabs and kills who appears to be Iris in front of his future self and returns to his present determined to prevent this moment, only for it to happen anyway either regardless of or partly as a result of the actions he and the team took to prevent it (whether or not the Harrison Wells doppelgänger was disguised as Iris originally or because of the teams knowledge of the event ahead of time is unclear). On top of that, if he changed an event in the future, he may not be causing a deviation in the part of the timeline, but he’d still be causing changes to the timeline in ways he wouldn’t be able to predict just as he did in Flashpoint, something that his kids do bring up when they arrive. The only difference would be that new Flashpoint would be on a later part of the timeline and therefore ostensibly have no effect on his present or his allies (unless a threat from the altered future he created were to arrive in his present), which was the main reason he doesn’t want to try and change things that happen in the present after witnessing all the horrible and unpredictable things unleashed from that decision, like Cisco’s brother dying or the creation of the Savitar paradox. Either way, the show has long since lost its edge. The most positivity I can give is the look of the Speed Force’s lightning and some of the other special effects. Just sets something off in my monkey brain. 14:57, The Speed Force blades weren’t what bothered me personally. The cool but unnecessary involvement from Thawne in the episode was a much larger issue. We’ve seen Godspeed’s tech shown to be powerful enough to somehow combat the Speed Force embodiment and allow him and his duplicates to absorb Speed Force energy with their suits, which additionally diminishes the idea that it is this all-powerful force of nature, just as it's not being able to save Barry from Bloodwork, it dying, and it not being able to simply take away Godspeed’s power completely. However, Barry has an entire group of allied speedsters that have been personally amplified in capability by the Speed Force embodiment (as well as the other Forces) while Godspeed and Thawne have no such benefit, with the former’s suit admittedly being a believable counter to Barry’s powers as it can absorb it. But instead of Barry relying on the rest of his team to help overwhelm and gang up on this lone speedster, he summons Thawne, who even if the Speed Force embodiment somehow boosted to be able to keep up with Godspeed…......is still Thawne, the man who killed his mother, endangered and threatened his friends and family, led to the deaths of Eddie and Ronnie, sided with Nazi’s from another dimension, led to the erasure of a future version of his daughter after having manipulated her into using the Negative Speed Force, and if just let go, (as Barry does in this episode) can and will cause him and everyone close to him trouble as long as he exists. And that doesn't even cover the one time he used magic to rewrite reality for a bit. I ignore the whole Speed Force Constructs since of course by now Barry and every other speedster has grown so much more advanced in their powers, especially considering the Speed Force personally boosting them even further beyond as if she’s and the other characters are in Dragon Ball. For a while now, the show has been having speedsters gain new and impressive techniques (namely Speed Force constructs) either off-screen or simply without much focus being on their discovery. As perhaps not as exciting as, it's simply how the show handles these powers now. But you’re right in the sense that other than it being cool and surprising, it’s only there to add something new and fresh to a speedster fight rather than being necessary or making sense. They can just break and cut through things while their hands are vibrating after all. It’s not like in FX’s Marvel show Legion, where psychics (who are just that shows version of speedsters complete with their own Speed Force dimension called the Astral Plane) can use their mind powers to fight in an ungodly amount of different and unique ways limited only by their imagination, from turning into shapeshifting ghosts that appear as anything from a samurai to a Boeing AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter…….to rap and dance battles. That’s right…..they can fight and kill you and practically destroy your mind…….by insulting you in rhyme. From the early looks of Season 8, they at least have an interesting hook with the mystery surrounding Barry's supposed future turn (which is likely just going to be Thawne using his face), so there's that.

11:08 I honestly would LOVE to know what the new Post Crisis timeline is, or at the very least how it affected the previous seasons (like the Pied Piper stuff in one of the previous episodes) or the crossovers.

trust me your one of the only people who'd talk about the flash on youtube

to be fair, it was established on arrow that people who had died could have their dopplegangers come over.. as in the case of ollie's mom and captain lance

considering how popular the show is the cgi is honestly the worst i’ve seen this century

The thing is, I believe that the way Godspeed used the lightsaber worked. We see him summon lightning and form it like he caught a bolt from the sky, he literally caught lightning and using the speed force was able to contain it. But Barry abd thone just push it out of their hands like nothing

Every episode of the flash ever conceived makes me want to blow my brains out. Barry Allen and almost every character is absolutely brain dead.

So I don't read comics BUT, is the speed force supposed to help Barry? Like isn't it supposed to be a neutral force that doesn't pick sides just gives powers to people who have access to it ?

Man I can list a lot of things wrong with season 7 and the show entire: 1. Barry isn't the main character: What is Barry's storyline this season? What was his character development. Hell, there are episodes where Barry's completely missing. How can a show called 'The Flash' rarely feature THE FLASH. Barry is literally no existent these days. 2. Too many side character-centred episodes: We've had episodes dedicated to Killer Frost, Cecile, and then Allegra WHO TF CARES?! Sure, you can have some story to build these characters but The Flash should not be an ensemble show. Again, Barry is the main focus. 3. Graphic novel structuring: The structure of this season is all over the place. We had 9 episodes for the Forces storyline. Now 3-4 episodes of 'interlude' and filler? And then we've only got 4 episodes left for the Godspeed arc. Super inconsistent this season. 4. Pep talks. Pep talks. AND MORE PEP TALKS: The drama feels so forced because every character needs a pep talk to progress the episode along, even the villains. This is just a super lazy form of storytelling that I wish all CW shows, not just The Flash, would stop doing. Barry rarely uses/explores his powers: When was the last time Barry threw lightning? Or a super sonic punch? Or anything cool like that. Nowadays, Barry's speed is just used to run people around and some episodes, never uses his powers altogether. This is what people came for right- the superhero element?? 5. Tone is VERY INCONSISTENT: Cisco's farewell episode featured a breakdancing Barry and a super silly sitcom-like villain. And Cecile's episode delved into mental health and depression. This show is bordering between a comedy and a CW drama, and it just feels super hard to get attached to. 6. The villains suck: SpeedForce Nora sucked. The villains of the week are just pathetic. And I wish the show would stop gender-swapping their classic villains. I usually don't have a problem with it when it serves the story (eg. The Top as a woman and the right hand to Mirror Master), but the Turtle 2.0 felt very forced. 7. Lazy storytelling: Cisco's Book of Big-Bads is so laughably stupid. All the scientific explanations seem so half-arsed these days they don't even make sense anymore. At least in Season 1, the average viewer could somewhat follow and understand what was going on.

Maaaan, I stopped watching The Flash (and every other Arrowverse show in 2019) after S5 due to it being mediocre, but I didn't think it would get this bad. Glad I haven't missed anything 😂😂

Gave up on this show a long time ago😞

Btw I believe the ability used by Barry, Thawne, Godspeed, (mainly) Wally is the cw’s attempt at the comics Speed Force Constructs. It’s basically where you can make things out of your speed force objects, though I agree. How the hell can Barry do this without any practice (Unless off screen, Wally taught him) 😂
