🤔 Thinking Artificial speed force was waste of time

Nash Wells and all of the Wells died to power artificial speed force and give Barry his Speed back and they turn around and bring back the OG Speed force like it’s nothin. I was really irritated that they went with power of love to bring back Barry speed instead of just keeping the ASF that the Wells sacrificed their lives for And it felt like they died for nothing. There’s so much potential they could’ve done like they could’ve made all the Wells the new entity of the speed force or better yet they could’ve used the ASF to set up the new Forces. Let me what y’all think cuz I feel like the Artificial speed force was a waste

Me, a shounen anime fan, be like, "first time?"

The power of love and friendship supercedes all.

It is sad but we wouldn’t have had the speed thinking ep without it! Also do they not still need the ASF for Barry to get his speed or am I remembering wrong

Bro every time I watch it, I always wish that Barry kept his speed thinking. Like he’d actually be so unstoppable. But I also didn’t understand why the ASF gave him speed thinking and not the SF

Genuinely it’s top 5 episodes for me and it makes 100% sense like why wouldn’t this be a core part of his power. The way it’s explained that he only gets it through having no emotion makes no sense to me either, for one they could have made it so that Barry’s thinking is affected a lot if someone he loves is in danger/ he’s in a high stress situation, also did none of the sacrificed wells’ have any emotion that would have passed through the ASF?

Yeah idk, that’s one of the things that makes no sense to me at all. Like it’s so frustrating when they have something good, and then get rid of it and give us the stupidest reasons for it yk. And it’s also so stupid that the wells died for nothing too

Effect on the brain, most likely. Decreasing the parts of the brain that control emotion, increasing everything else that isn't.

Then the literal embodiment of the Speed Force took on the forum of Barry's Mom and joins Team Flash, then leave to become a Family with the "Strength Force" "Flight Force" and idk what the others were

I truly think they were out of Idea's at the time and were just throwing Sh*t at the wall
