So with The Flash season 2 I’ve heard people calling it a “great show and one of the best on TV” and I disagree. The reason why most people say that is because Arrow has fallen so far down they naturally prop up The Flash with ignoring it’s gaping flaws.
Now I’m going to go through Flash season 2 and give some of the reasons the season was not so great with an objective look. I’m not going to look at it through the rose colored lenses of Arrow has failed, which I consider to be an unfair bias.
Especially since well, Arrow in early years and if you put Flash season 1 and 2 right up next to Arrow’s first two years, well the results are Arrow might actually be able to beat The Flash in a few areas.
First the Zoom loves Caitlin stuff is just melodrama cranked up to the level of what was on Legends of Tomorrow with Vandal Savage loving Kendra. Also probably the Ras a Ghul telling Felicity to go be with Oliver in Arrow season 3.
It would be nice if we actually get a villain on a change in the Arrowverse who doesn’t have women problems like so many of them have across the shows and like I’ve pointed out.
The Patty Spivot melodrama of Barry flat out refusing to tell Patty when literally everybody else in their lives knows and everything that brought. Yeah it was kind of like watching a smaller version of the Olicty drama or the Lois loves the Blur but doesn’t realize it’s Clark, from Smallville.
Considering Greg Berlanti wrote on Dawson's Creek which was a teen drama the melodrama stamp is rather obvious in all the shows he over sees.
Now the whole Jay is Zoom, me I massively disliked that for the sole reason of wasting all the time spent on getting to know Jay only to turn out of being the bad guy.
Ok we had that last year with Eobard and ok nice reveal but really using it for a second season in a row is just lazy. Because like I said wasted all that time.
What they should have done is not introduce Hunter in 2x01 but instead just have it been Harry Wells from the start who comes in to say your world’s in danger. So that way when Zoom does finally unmask it’s just Hunter Zolomon and no useless Jay stuff.
Still keep John Wesley Shipp reveal as Jay Garrick in 2x23 so that way, when he does come back we get to know the real Jay.
I’m hardly surprised considering this is the same crew who brought the ridiculous “Slade loves Shado” in season 2 garbage. All just because Malcolm wanting to get revenge on his dead wife worked so well in season 1 of Arrow.
This type of laziness is I guess common with Andrew Kreisberg and whoever else went with him.
Now here comes the biggest thing of Barry becoming a killer and nobody bats an eye like it’s not even addressed. This is just one highlight of the show not taking certain things seriously on the things it needs to and instead just brushes by with a “well it’s lighter than Arrow.”
Just for the killer thing alone, Joe hated and threw Oliver under the bus every change he got in season 1 for being a “serial killer” but doesn’t even care about Barry killing people in cold blood.
These are the main reasons why I don’t find season 2 to be all that great and a few things apply to Flash over all.
