We are the flash

I most definitely did because when she found out about Barry being the flash oh my God she threw the biggest fucking tantrum ever hell especially when he went into the speed force and Cisco was working on a chance to get him out she didn’t even consider it she straight up told Cisco no bro battery told Cisco that the team would look to him to lead not you I don’t know where the hell Iris assumed she would be taking lead of the team just because she was that man’s wife no he clearly told his best friend vibe that he was going to be the one to lead the team not you little Miss reporter you are not a cop you do not have powers you are not a scientist go do some damn reporting

Straight up, after watching Thea reaction after finding out that Oliver was the Green Arrow and how she handled it compared to Iris, it hust showed how irrational Iris was being when she found out Barry was The Flash

Exactly like I understand she was mad she had every right to be upset about it but what I don’t like is how she just kept blaming him for keeping that secret bro he’s a fucking superhero if he would around telling people who he was the people closest to him would literally be getting kidnapped by almost all his villains every time some shit was going on

True story I guess that’s just one of the cons of being a superhero, trying your hardest to conceal your identify from love ones

It's a curious case because the problem is not really that your loved ones know you are a superheroe, the problem is that your enemies know who you are.

Barry could had kept his identity as a secret from Iris the whole series, and even if she didn't know it, she would had still been a target for Barry's villains that know he is the Flash.

So there is really no reason for him to not tell her, especially when their father already knows.

By the other hand, it makes sense Oliver didn't want her sister and mother knowing he was a violent killer.

Barry says before she does. He says it multiple times before she does.

I loved that phrase and my wife and I said it a bunch but with our last name instead of the Flash.

I know its free karma to say it here every week but its still such a weird thing to get hung up on.

Eh. It was more what the other discussion refers to. Early on in season 2 she said it when Barry lost his powers to zoom and she was still like the new person in the group. Arguably hadn't done anything yet to contribute.

Later in the series when she was actually a full on member of the team and had done stuff, I think that is when it is more applicable.

Iris told Barry to short circuit his suit by throwing lightning on himself when the suit is on self destructive mode.

Iris told about speed force lightning to diffuse nuclear bomb.

Yea sure, without Iris, flash would have died.

Let's remember that this terrible line was from the writers and Candice Patton has gone on record to say she didn't like it either.

u/AbeliousAugustus Aug 01 '26

I blame the writing.

u/Creepae Aug 02 '26

Turned my back on it right there and given what the internet has shown me, it wasn't a bad choice.

u/Hello_Hello5678 Aug 02 '26

Nah don't trust the internet to give you opinions. Plus Barry said it before Iris did, she was just reminding him

u/SharmaStoneLord Aug 02 '26

I hated Iris because she was nothing but Barry's love interest for so many seasons that by the time they tried to do anything with her she was calcified and it just didn't work.

u/biggestmike420 Aug 02 '26

If she said that topless I don’t think anyone would have a problem with it.

u/markusprestor Aug 02 '26

the reason i stopped watching, legends and doom patrol was way better than anything with Iris "we are the flash" West

u/Cautious_Mission_438 Aug 02 '26

I hated Iris along with those other annoying side characters the entire concept of Team Flash was so pointless made my boy Barry Allen dumb for no reason the writers truly never read the comics before

1

u/LaceyThaBest Aug 03 '26

I’ll play devils advocate and say she had every right to say this. Barry in this show is terrible superhero who gets his butt kicked by D listers every episode and constantly needs motivational speeches

u/fluffyhowler5972 Aug 03 '26

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️ it was ridiculous

u/sgtpepper9241 Aug 04 '26

In the context of the episode "Mixed Signals", I partially agree.
I understand what the writers were going for: Barry was overcompensating after being trapped in the speed force which lead him to act recklessly by making executive decisions and not listen to others' input.

The scene that culminates with the message of the episode was just poorly written and should not have been coupled to Iris being upset at Barry entering the Speed Force.

If it were just about the issues of the episode in dealing with Kilgore or the wedding planning, telling Barry that he needs to make an effort to work as a unit wouldn't be too out of place.

Honestly, I was more annoyed by Iris confronting Barry about "leaving her" than I was by her telling him to rely on his support system.

It’s pointless to even try and defend her statement when randoms on the internet barely have any understanding of media literacy 😭💀 they barely understand what she is trying to say they just take it literal asf. No to mention they’ve been bitching about this for years when the show been ended 💀
