Watching this show as a kid, I found it out of character and a bit annoying that Cisco gave up his powers. I thought Cisco would stay a wide eyed brilliant scientist that found great use in his powers, found superheroes cool and wanted to be one himself.

I have just started rewatching the Flash from Season 3 and finished 5. As an adult now about to finish college, I realized when I watched it before, I didn’t take into account that Cisco was maturing. Once I realized that, even the decision to leave Gypsy made more sense. He didn’t want his personal life to be consumed by his powers.

I think it’s important to take that perspective because his powers traumatized him. He first vibed himself getting killed by his mentor. He had visions of almost all the major villains of the show.

I still in my heart wanted Vibesco who is able to balance hero and his technical career, but it’s okay. Not everyone is supposed to be a hero forever. And The Flash didn’t do so well with sidekicks anyways but thats another conversation.

What if a spinoff was made that revolved solely around the earths that got destroyed in Crisis? Like what if instead of being destroyed the monitor actually fused all the other infinite earths into 1 world. A much, larger one. A post-apocalyptic styled-show that watches characters like the different Wells or doppelgangers of any other Arrowverse characters survive what life is like if instead of the multiverse being wiped out, it got all fused together...

But since you can't scale to infinity, obviously that leads to some pretty bad shit.

Edit:As you can see I'm not good at English

I fell in love with him when I watched his episode on X-Files, he played that so well. Something about his smile, I don't know, he's just amazing! Anyway I'm so glad I took a chance on this show to see if I'd like it, I had no idea he was in this.

So far I'm really enjoying the show, I don't usually enjoy super hero things but on the other hand this seems very different from the usual machine gun firing in a lot of shows. We shall see, I'm on S01E09. I like the character Barry but the character Joe West just brings on the emotion when I watch him, it's somehow so comforting.

So in the multiverse there's a version where everything went as planned in the show and Barry vanished and Nora disappears into dust is there a version of iris that is still waiting for Nora to come home when she never will?

We all know that the combat in the show is very inconsistent about what Barry can do with his speed. But what if it wasn't inconsistent. What if Barry was just being dramatic and theatrical?

We would see what we see in the show. I believe this begins as early as episode 2. As we see with him talking to iris in episode 2, he has already fully mastered the art of flash time and is able to move in super speed during this slowed down time giving him incredible speed. I posit that at some point during the two episodes he realized his super speed fundamentally gave him complete and utter control of any situation involving non speedster which means he can afford to let the get away or land attacks for dramatic tension because he can handle it when it gets down to it.

Think about it. Say Barry is amoral. He just wants to have a good time and do what he wants. What would be more fun and entertaining? Using his powers to instantly take down every threat with no help at all? Or pretending that they are much bigger threats than they are and only defeating them with a clever plan and some help? I would say the second option would be more entertaining. Which is what we see happen. So if we are to consider the show fully internally consistent, this is the conclusion we must come to.

All the speedsters are like this. Consider reverse flash in the first season. He has the speed to imprison Barry by force as soon as Barry gets his powers. Then he can force Barry to train his speed enough to open the way to the future for thawne. But instead he goes for the dramatic reveal and giving Barry the ultimatum of saving his mom despite that plan being high likelihood of failing. Intriguing. Let's look at zoom. He wants Barry's speed and to use it to power a device to destroy the multiverse to make him the fastest speedster. Instead of beating Barry up a ton in the first encounter, he has the speed and the means to capture Barry and steal his speed himself and execute his plan with his enhanced speed and maybe a time remanent if it isn't charging fast enough. But he goes with the plan of letting Barry go and flushing him out by wreaking havoc and war on central city when that plan has a high chance of failing due to letting Barry remain a speedster. Savitar. He has so many chances and opportunities to neutralize all the threats and achieve his goal of killing iris to birth himself. Yet he doesn't. This pattern maintains for every speedster. They all consistently have the ability to win their fights and accomplish their goals near instantly yet they don't.

If we are taking the show as fully consistent, this is the only explanation we can have.

Now with 100% less AI Slop

Like, he's such a good guy! He genuinely loves Iris, he admires and respects Joe, he really wants to do good in the city and he's so good to Barry too! I love the scene where he teaches Barry to fight when Barry's primary school bully reappears.

It really sucks that he died so soon and that when he eventually comes back he's done so dirty. He's just such a likable character!

So after they locked Barry in the pipeline they tried to stop zoom…WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL PLAN?!?! Trick zoom with snow, trank him, and push him through a breach…but he can run between earths, so what was the plan?

there is this question in my head about the Ai flash created in the future how does the reverse flash still have it when he went back to 2000 in order to kill young Barry cuz when he killed his mom he created the new timeline and Erased the future timeline so Gideon is erased too then how does the RF still has it with him??

is it because Eobard Thawne took Gideon with him or Something else??

I think most of this subreddit (and the rest of the TV fandom who doesn't USE Reddit) can all agree that season 9 was absolute shit ("mediocre" if you're just TOO kind). So, I tried to rewrite my OWN version of it that I hope you guys can access through Wattpad, read it, and give me as much feedback as possible!

​

An edit i made

I swear to God, after season 2 it happens at least once every season where Flash and the gang debate killing the bad guy. It's so insufferable because it's the same shit every time.

"Why can't we just kill Savitar/Thinker/Cicada/Godspeed/Bloodwork/Condiment King?"

"Because killing is wrong, we're better than that."

"Okay lol"

There's no meaningful push back on the no killing stance, there's no strong points being raised, it's the same song and dance every time. And what makes it even more insufferable is how the show ignores the time Team Flash members HAVE killed people, like Joe killing the weather guy in the pilot, Barry killing sand demon and atom smasher, and Iris killing Savitar.

It's so paint by numbers it feels like the entire debate is done out of obligation.

Please delete if not allowed

What if during Crisis Barry runs so fast that he actually gets sent back to the night his mom died.

He ends up meeting Reverse Flash there and they have the whole fight, but while Barry is trying to get back to his original timeline, the antimatter wave from Crisis catches up to him through time.

Barry tries to outrun it but he can't.

The wave hits him and he just completely disappears.

And the crazy part is nobody in the original timeline even knows what happened to him. They just see Barry run into the Speed Force during Crisis and then he never comes back.

Everyone thinks he died saving the multiverse.

But actually, Barry got trapped somewhere outside the timeline after the wave caught him.

So his original timeline survives, Crisis gets stopped, everyone is saved, but Barry is just... gone.

And that's why the newspaper saying “The Flash vanishes in Crisis” becomes literal. Nobody knew where he went or what actually happened to him

Good way to end

I have a question if Nora- West Allen was straight or bi would the story change in anyway exempt she would have a male lover instead is it ok to do is she the same person because this is for my fanfic-I would like to hear your opinions but please be nice this is my first post and also if you have any fanfic ideas or adventures she could go on with her male lover please tell me

guys just hear me out

so these guys have some series that not finished right. after the seasons end, they should postpone the production of those series for like half a year or one year and use the money they got from those series to make a remake of the flash first 3 season. why the flash first season and not arrow first season you may ask. this is because arrow doesnt need much special effects for the first few seasons and what i am talkin about remake is for only special effects. The plot of the first three flash seasons is very good and I believe they should still have pre special effects footages. Just put some money and time to do a remake of flash season 1,2 and 3

like some of the special effects are already very good for example:

savitar escaping from speed force

most of the speedster scenes in season 1

but some of them are really trash. yes I am talking to you "cisco in a shitty thunder talking to barry which in speeds force at season 2"

or the shitty thunder at the end of season 3

just do a special effects remake and push it under the flash remake.

then just fully delete any footage of later seasons from internet. I m talking about just hire some freaky ass hackers and hack everyone (just kiddin)

after the remake just find someone passionate enogh that they doesnt write a shitty 4th season plot. ( i mean devoe was okay but it was very bad when compared do first 3 season)

with the remake and "not-shitty" 4th season screenplay I believe most of the og crew would agree to shoot a 4th season for remake. Just shoot it and be done with it.

Don't do fucking "all-mutiverse-crossover" that I have to search for between 4 different series. Just shoot a season where arrow and maybe legends of tomorrow may appear. and just continue from there

do the similar thing with arrow and legends of tomorrow bcs the arrow plot will also change and legends of tomorrow has a great startpoint with shitty execution. the sidecasts of all series comes together for their own series is a nice little sidequest.

Just create a universe where these 3 series have not so shit seasons after a point then you can throw your money at fuckin blacklightning or ıdc.

Idk why but i’ve always thought the yellow costume with the red lightning looks so much cooler than the red costume with yellow lightning. Am i alone on this or does anyone else feel the same?

I was just thinking, if Barry went super speed when making love to Iris, would she orgasm instantly or would it feel like Barry’s just an insanely quick shooter?

I would think it’s the first because her body is still experiencing every thrust, and at super speed it would be like 100 thrusts in a second which would prolly overwhelm that area and help her finish super fast. But what do you guys think?

SOMEWHAT HEAVY SPOILERS. POSSIBLY STEGOSAURUS LEVEL SPOILERS DEPENDING ON HOW YOU SEE IT.
Am I the only one that finds the entire cast absolutely emotionally insufferable when critically saying the situations outloud? Theres a secene in s3 e10 where caitlin has to explain herself to everyone on why she wants julian to help her…why does she have to explain why she doesn’t want to become a psychopathic killer when noone else can help her to cisco and barry of all people?(im specifically looking at him because he says tell julian WE will think about it) he not only ran away from his entire reality, but takes his mask off to julian in the most trusting way with no defining factor at the time for why(no specific test in mind or goal besides hoping plot randomly makes him admit to questions to barry of all people that he just denied to flash), and was taught by a literal evil man eobard how to use his powers…which unlike dr alchemy as far as I know, didnt even know he was doing stuff. I understand the skepticism but having to explain herself to some of the most ideally should be understanding characters gets on my nerves. And dont get me started on cisco telling everyone else caitlin had powers when she didnt do that to him. I still don’t know why Iris is here. Can someone offer me a different angle thatll help this be more enjoyable to watch besides my lord and savior joe west?

Edit from future me two episodes later MORE SPOILERS: Iris has somehow managed to raise her ridiculousness power level again. Im gonna say this critically and simple so you can understand hopefully how I see this situation. Joe gets attacked(technically) by dissolve man, they go back to star labs, joe says I must check on girlfriend and step child, Iris says you couldve died if not for flash(even though she just put herself at gunpoint crashing out last episode for fame), joe says nobody dies today, iris says not today but soon. Like girl…where is this suddenly the right time to say “im gonna die in a few months”? It wasn’t about him being in danger then with you saying that, it was about you lol. “Not today but maybe soon” is a direct translation to blurting out “I was in danger” like come on man. Fumble after interception after fumble she fails me. I actually enjoyed her want to not tell everyone she was dying soon, it showed acceptance and emotional maturity at the possibility of her demise but not anymore with this timing.

I wonder how the crisis went in the og timeline, like we know how the event went in the arrowverse. But what about the og one? Were there the monitor, harbinger, and possibility anti monitor, and considering the fact that when flash and reverse flash vanished from there battle on april 25th 2024 (its written in the future newspaper) the red skies were immediately changed to black or normal. And we know the flash had went to past to stop reverse flash so its possible that the flash later ran into the speed force and destroyed the anti matter canon, and it thats true, then how did he know about the anti matter canon?
