Flash season 9 learned curse words in every language just to find new ways to insult me 

Alright. Every year there’s at least one point that I get a million comments on that tell me the same thing over and over again so let’s be crystal clear about this. “The Spectre is the wrath of God”. Where is that said in the shows? Comic explanations aren’t accepted as canon and never have been. Why would this be the exception? I don’t care if that’s how it works in the comics because it’s not explicit in the text. To add to this: I am also aware that Lucifer takes place in the same multiverse, and God is a character in that show. But not only does he never once interact with the Spectre-making this once again an adaptation argument that we’ve already dismissed-it’s also stated in Lucifer that God created the “universe”, implying he only has dominion over that single universe. There is no indication that God from Lucifer has any type of power throughout the multiverse.

I almost admire this season for finding a way to make Zoom both boring and utterly unintimidating.

You can say that Season 1 and 2 was poorly written but they were actually entertaining, I rewatched the Cisco/Wells scene from S1, the tension in that scene is so good.

I thought this video was a meme at first because of the title. But in hindsight it perfectly represents what this season is like as a whole lol

I read that Cisco's actor wanted to come back for the finale, but couldn't make it work with his schedule. Which is clearly a lie and I respect it

I actually felt nostalgic over the flash so I jumped back in for the final season and just gave up after seeing the end result of Red Death. What an embarrassment

Bringing back Savitar has loads of potential. He literally stands face to face with his past variants daughter without risk of being erased from existence. Instead of fighting, he should've had an existential crisis about how this means Iris doesn't need to die to preserve his own life anymore. He could've saved Iris from Zoom or Thawne, directly paralleling his S3 objective. Then have him die saving Nora West Allen, paralleling Nora Allem dying in front of Barry. Idk but at least it'd give some resonance and finality to the closing season of a show that's 9 years old.

The fact that I miss Smallville way more than any Arrowverse show speaks for itself

14:00 What in the actual fuck. Out of context that seems like some supervillain level of dialogue from our "heroes"

It's so weird because the episode with Barry and Thawne seemed more like a series finale than the bullshit with cobalt blue and while it was nice to see Eddie again, he really should've came back sooner, and not be a forced villain in the last season of the show

I was really bumed that savitar didn't come out of his suit for godspeed and zoom to see, I was really hoping at least that would happen.

I actually broke down with laughter whenever red death started having tantrums whenever she lost to flash

The Flash Season 9 was certainly the TV Show of all time. The characters were there sometimes, the lines were delivered with a hefty dose of cringe, and the CGI makes me want to gouge my own eyes out. Let’s not get into writing though, because it makes me want to cry(and not because it makes me emotional).

The Flash Season 9 really was the Most Season out of all of them.

the difference between season 1/2 and later seaasons to me is the elevator pitch test. The core concept of season 1, man gets new speed powers and has to learn how to manage them, eventually deciding to try to do good with them. The core concept of season 2, same man begins to get a grip with his new powers as we find out that the accident which started it all may not have been as accidental as we thought. I feel like I, along with most people, can overlook a lot of things if the idea itself is solid. Bad coreography could be fixed without changing the core story. Bad acting could be fixed without changing the core story. And most bits of bad writing could be fixed without changing the core story. The earlier seasons of the flash had a good core story, even if their execution of it was left lacking in places. Later seasons however just completely phoned it in.

If you guys are ever wondering why Thawne, the Flash's archnemesis and arguably the one most relevant villain in the entire show gets beaten by Allegra, the least relevant "hero" from Team Flash, know that Eric Wallace had a hand in creating her in the comics...

It may have learned new curse words, but we know the One that holds power over all of them.

"i am the true god of speed" "nuh uh"

that ending monologue about not caring about the show anymore, more specifically the entire show, was actually pretty sad. As no more than an audience member, hearing that there were scenes at the start that still have emotional value that have been rendered insignificant by the shear size and quality drop of the show kinda gets to me. Knowing that the show had meaning and passion even if it was flawed, but now that it's finally over it has to be shut in a box and forgotten rather than remaining as a gem in ones mind, as it probably would have if it had finished years beforehand. Idk I guess I never thought about a show or franchise being so dragged out and disrespected that there's no way to look back on the earlier days and love the simple times. It's just a shame that the later, inferior sludge of something once great has somehow infected the earlier entries with it's flaws, draining it of the love that fans once displayed instead of being righteously ignored and overlooked so that the fans can continue enjoying the earlier entries. It kinda sounds like ones long and dangerous path to maturity and the tolls it takes. Not sure how that managed to be that deep lol

The worst/funny part about zoom's mask in season 9 The original mask from season 2, was practical, it was a physical mask they made WhICH MEANS THEY LOST THE MASK AT SOME POINt BECAUSE WHY WOULD THEY NOT JUST REUSE THE OLD PRACTICAL MASK, THATS AMAZING

Javicia Leslie as Red Death is straight up auditioning to be a Power Rangers villain, I swear.

It is shocking to me that for a 13 episode final season, they spent nearly 1/3 of the season on filler episodes

The last episode should've been called "THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN!!!!!!". Such a missed opportunity, man.

To me there were some really great aspects to the show early on, things like Thawne's character in the first season and the whole implication that he was from a timeline that at least somewhat resembled the comics, but even then as you said there was some really weak aspects, but the show had personality and a real charm to it that somewhat helped counter it, like back then it knew it was goofy. For me it was during season 2 where I think problems began, the Zoom twist and his grand final plan seemed I never really liked, along with Barry's sudden new speed force powers and bringing back characters from the dead via other universes. Also the ending with Barry going back in time to save his mother felt like a contradiction of season 1's finale, which even then as much as I liked it not once did anyone bring up how saving his mother would throw off the timeline completely. Season 1's ending felt like the writers intentionally avoided doing a Flashpoint story because they knew they simply couldn't do it justice, so that change having Barry realize that changing the past wasn't the answer really worked, only for the season 2 to say screw all that he's doing it anyway, and thus giving us a really lame 'Flashpoint' to start season 3 and from there it was a downward slope. That along with things like that Flash's main reoccurring villains only really being in the first season bugged me, we never really got a proper comic Rogues team. It really felt like the show was always restricted in a lot of ways, and in others was just not willing to go far enough. Clearly that Smallville motto of having no capes or costumes still rubbed off on the flash, sure some characters had costumes but they all looked the same after a while, heck even the Flash himself had some pretty crap costumes at times, and others like Mirror Master was made into just a guy in a suit. I also really hated in retrospect all those little nods and teases towards the Justice League, like the names on Earth 2 Barry's phone, people would get so excited about that stuff despite these shows clearly having no intentions of actually featuring any of those characters. Everything just felt so cheap and diluted with nothing else to it after a while. I got into the Flash during the New 52 run, and from there backtracked to read some of the earlier stories, and it led to him becoming my favorite superhero, but for me it ate away at me how much of the show's structure and adaptations of characters didn't appeal to me, from making Barry and Iris practically siblings for most of there lives, and 'team Flash' being an idea I couldn't tolerate after a while. That said I never hated this show it just somewhat fizzled out for me, I think I made it around half-way through season 4 and gave up, and it just made me sad how little I cared about the show after that.

I like how it was easy to predict that Kaitlyn was coming back because nobody talked about her death in the show, only Frost's and they never held a funeral for her and the flash writers would never pass up the chance to milk a character's death so it was obvious the writers knew it would just be a time waster

Does anyone else think that Cobalt Blue suit looks a lot like a "what if a blue ranger was Lord Drakkon instead of Tommy Oliver" 🤔?

Grant Gustin as the Flash and Tom Cavanagh and Reverse Flash were the best parts of Season 1. The other cogs were a hit or miss. The show always has the groundwork to fail, but they got the casting completely right.

The thumbnail is not a lego figure of Cecile. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

The moment I finished this season, I needed this video to happen. Such an embarrassing end.

Can't complain about not seeing sisko's reaction. Carlos not coming back is the only way this show could be forced from the outside to have any modicum of consequence to anything that happened at all. That and it minorly reduces how badly it stains his filmography so good for him. lol

From the moment Eric Wallace was put in charge the show became his Cecile, Chester and Allegra fanfic.

“I am the one true god of speed.” “Nuh uh”

didn't even recognize the video without a lego flash thumbnail

This ending has made me Physically upset and basically left me with no closure.

CW made The Flash talk no jutsu Cobalt Blue

The audacity that the showrunner said he didn't have time for a Legends of Tomorrow ending lmao

S1 and S2 were excusable enough, it didnt hamper my enjoyment of it. Wanted to add S3 started off decent, but the one thing that killed the hype was the constant holding back of the reveal

I literally feel like the "Akira" meme because of this show right now.

I gave up on the whole Arrowverse in 2018, I think. I just couldn't stomach the shows anymore. Flash was probably the worst offender.

The only way the S1 Finale full circle could've worked without completely breaking the show is if it was told from the perspective of Thawne in flashbacks to how he remembers his origin to be.

Zoom was The writer's going? "What if we made venom into a speedster? But he was also the devil at the same time?"

This was a tough pill to swallow as I grew up with the early seasons of this show; but I have to accept that the series was never good at all. The Flash works by himself, that’s how he’s always worked. Giving him a team was stupid.

The worst part of the flash was giving him a team. Like sure having kaitlyn, cisco, and wellsobard there made sense in season 1 because barry didnt understand his powers and he needed the help at the time but as the series progressed you would think that barry would grow as a character and need less help to take down the bad guys but no, they need to give screentime to other characters so barry has to always need help to take down the bad guys because cw cant think of any other ways for other characters to be on screen. Imagine if instead of spending every episode constantly having barry struggle to take out a regular villain they spent some amount of time having barry struggle to be the flash and barry allen while keeping his identity a secret. They do this a little bit but they never put it front and center unless they wanted to have a big melodramatic sequence where everyone gets mad at barry for something. Imagine if instead of everyone just getting pissed off we got to see the internal struggle within barry where he sees someone in trouble but cant act upon it without revealing his identity because hes out being barry allen which causes him to push away his duties as a regular person and focus on being a hero too much and risk losing his job or some relationships with people. Like that would be way more interesting than barry failing to catch villain #62 and the team being like "barry you failed and like 8 people died but its totally okay because you tried to talk them down instead of hurting them but next time we find them lets use this gizmo to temporarily reduce their powers and then handcuff them. Now run barry, run"

It finally ended so I can finally rest in my bed after I just got discharged from the hospital from having cardiac arrest from Cecile beating Godspeed

46 Seconds ago!? Freeze, Sheev! There's nowhere to run!

There are 2 thoughts I wanna put out here. Firstly, while Seasons 1 and 2 have some corny Arrowverse stuff and stupid things that make no sense if you think about it too much, it’s not really fair to call them bad. I’ve only recently stepped into this show after glimpsing over it for years just cause I never got round to it (I’m also in the UK so it’s trickier to get it here) and there’s even stuff I like about the whole first half of the show, but those first 2 seasons are genuinely heartfelt, gripping and intense compared to a lot of what we get later on. It can be hard to remember that for some people who are overwhelmed by what we have now, but we can’t forget the reason we fell in love with it in the beginning. My second point is that I believe Grant Gustin still pulled it off somehow. If there was any heart and soul left in the show by the end, he was the only one who brought it and carried it on, and you can still see it all the way through. Despite how bad the writing got, he always gave the role his all and his acting and performance was consistently great. Huge respect and admiration to him, he will always be The Flash to me.

All the speedsters coming back to get rolled over without even a challenge by the B team is totally the boss rush in a Megaman game.

I dream that the Barry who became Flash in 2020 still exists in the multiverse and that his version of events is a great story and my ideal version of the show, and Thawne changing it so we have to see this shit instead is his actual revenge on Barry

9 fucking years

0:46 super relatable man

Trust me you do not wanna linger on the time travel stuff, cause the more you do the more confusing it gets and the more confusing it gets the more frustrated you become from sheer inconsistency from this show

This final season was the biggest middle finger I’ve ever seen in Tv

Seasons 1 - 3: 😠 Seasons 4 - 9: 🤡

Im happy that team cecile finally got a happy ending. I didnt.

In DC canon, the Specter is an agent of God and the Arrowverse has confirmed Jesus was real (and very magic) so yeah, Ollie is held back by Gods will

8:50 "I... am the true god of speed" "nuh uh"

The speedforce resseructed someone before.... Thawne.... In season 7.

16:25 I would like to point out, Killer Frost was Khione. Caitlyn's dad said as much during his like 1-2 episode arc. So if Killer Frost is dead, Khione is dead. So who TF is this new girl?

Thing is, bloodwork had comics tied in with the flash and I really enjoyed the episode where he came back. I think it fit perfectly with what it was meant to be

I feel like what made the first few seasons feel different is that they felt like they had a potential to be good, like there was something there but the writers lack of knowledge on how to handle how absurdly busted Super Speed is hampered it severely.

In concept, I like the idea of bringing back every villain of a series at the very end; but like.. this has to be the most underwhelming way you could possibly go about doing that.

It may not have been a good episode, but seeing Oliver and Diggle get their goodbye (and our goodbye) made it worth.

“They fly now” from the sequel trilogy will never not be funny.

I think the reason why their made zoom look cheaper now, is because they wanted their new villain to look better. That is the wrong way to go about it, make characters better instead of bringing the previous back looking worse. I checked out after season 2, Wally just felt to angsty. I wanted to see Wally be more quick witted and funny, but he just felt like he belonged in Twilight

A few years ago I genuinely thought we would never see the OG Barry stuff because of the same reasons you said. It wasn't our Barry. Then we got it. I wasn't happy. I wasn't excited. I was sad. Not sad in the way that the Season 1 ending makes you sad. Just sad at what the show had become. The Flash has always been one of my favorite DC characters and I was genuinely happy with the show for the first few seasons despite it's flaws. Then it just kept going downhill. Now we're here. A place I never wanted to see this show. It's over and it didn't end with a bang, but a wimper. I really don't like what the show became but I have a hard time hating it. I just feel sad. This show started at a rough time in my life and it brought me peace and joy when I needed it the most. Brought me closer with my partner and friends when I was so closed off and depressed. It was something that I genuinely looked forward to every week. It helped me. Now this. It's genuinely heartbreaking because I don't think I'll even be able to watch the older seasons anymore knowing what it became. It's an odd sensation to feel so sad over what this show became. I think it has to do with how I got emotionally attached to the Characters and the Show due to what I was experiencing. Watching what it became... It was like watching someone you love lose themselves to addiction and become unrecognizable. It's just heartbreaking.

Another thing about show writing thats often forgotten about is that they are collaborative effects, not solo. So rewrites while fun, often times feel hollow

This year is not the year for Flash in general.

The mission…the nightmares…they’re finally over😌🫡 Rest in Piss Arrowverse🙏

19:31 that Barry was from earth 1s original timeline but with earth prime, the timeline we are in is now the original

Zoom looks like someone tried to draw him from memory.

when it comes to time travel, Savitar did say the more you do it the less the rules apply to you. Thawne had probably done it so often that he could change major events without much repercussion. he edited the timeline so Barry becomes the Flash sooner without a mother, fills his life with tragedy, purely out of hatred. the OG timeline Barry was erased that night, and was instead replaced by our Barry, which is evident from Flash still saving young Barry. i reckon the timeline (past, future, present) is working all at once and always has been which is why speedsters can fuck up and change major things with or without consequence. if a speedster regularly changes shit, the timeline grows used to it and lets it happen. if a speedster doesn’t, the timeline rejects the changes. everything that happened that night was written and rewritten multiple times due to time travelling speedsters, to the point that the OG timeline cannot be brought back anymore.

Oliver wasn’t aware that he had created universes beyond Earth-Prime, therefore it’s evident that the process of him restoring existence wasn’t a completely conscious one. Also historically the Spectre serves the Presence, so yeah, there’s someone above him.

Fun Fact Sheev, Superman & Lois is made by the same executive producer (showrunner) who also worked on The Flash from S1, and was one of the showrunner of S2 to S5.

I swore the future Barry chasing Thawne, that told the past Barry not to save his mom, was that same Barry stopping Flashpoint

literally the best intro to a video i have ever seen and so funny

I'm sad to see savitar die so easily in season 9, mainly because he is my second favorite flash villian behind opposite fast boy

Allegra is the name of my cold meds 😭

love your videos man...been waiting for a new flash video for a while

Just to be clear, there are 4 versions of "The Night of the Impossible", the night that barries mother died. This is because crisis rebooted the universe and altered things slightly, New52-style. There is pre-flashpoint-pre-crisis. This is the one that setup flashpoint. Then there is post-flashpoint-pre-crisis. THIS is the one from the intro to the series with Original Timeline Barry. Then crisis happened and recreated most of the events that happened before crisis, but altered ever so slightly. Because of that, the events of "The Night of the Impossible" were recreated and altered. Now we have Pre-Flashpoint-Post-Crisis (never shown on-air) where it essentially is a recreation of the events the pre-flashpoint-pre-crisis events but with Finale barry instead of original timeline barry. Then finally we get post-flashpoint-post-crisis, which is the events we saw in the season finale. That scene left me with a bunch of questions too. This is how it was explained to me.

the fact that you called him Dr. Suresh was the funniest thing in this entire video xD. flew over my head i had to go back to make sure i heard it correctly. i miss heroes

I love characters in yellow who are recurring intelligent villains who always come back. I love them! -_-

I tapped out after the aseason with savitar so thankyou for the follow ups

there was no lego

After watching season 9 i laughed so hard I’m like i can’t wait to Sheev demolish this show

I’ve been waiting for this video since the season ended

Subbed, awesome stuff dude lol. At this point they should’ve just had Barry wake up from a fucking coma caused by the original lightening strike and make it all just a bad dream😂

As someone who originally liked season 1 and 2 then stopped watching in whichever season Savitar was introduced (I can’t even be bothered to look it up) I appreciate the concise summary of how soulless the show has become. It’s nice to have confirmation that I was right in just giving up.

Best opening ever, the hero we need but not the one we deserve

Bro this vid is great already

every CW show feels like they're written by Eric Kripke and co. i swear

“But savitar I wanna play as the god of speed this time you have been it the last two times” 8:51

Zoom : "oh boy, I sure do love killing cops 😃"

I have been a Comic Fan since the late 80's. I have always accepted that it can have pretty absurd Stories. As you pointed out not only did the Flash have a pretty good Story for a Comic TV Show, it had people who cared. Seasons 1 and 2 where great for what they where and I loved them for that. Season 3 I enjoyed until the end. That was when Characters started having changes done to their Personalities, and prior Rules where starting to be ignored. Once Season 3 was done I knew it was over, and I stopped watching. Its sad because it was a great Show, and for what it was. It was enjoyable and entertaining. Its sad that they just seemed to stop caring.

The negative side of the speedforce is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural….

14:22 As an Arrow Fan that kinda enjoyed the ending THANK YOU! I felt so pissed off to the fact that in the New Universe he created He created Copies to replace his Passed Loves ones, DESPITE 4 EPISODES AGO we spent an ENTIRE EPISODE on Oliver Learning to let go passed people 🤮 Oh, & BTW, Oliver didn't bring back ANYONE, is a Ben 10 Alien X-Aniquilar Scenario, He Simply created a copy of them & pretend nothing happens(& just like it was Horrendous in Ben 10 Omniverse, it was also Horrendous on Arrow)

I love your video titles so much

Regarding the whole Nora's death thing- The moment reverse flash went to the past to kill Barry as a kid, he made Nora's death a fixed point. The original future flash we saw fight him in season 1 wasn't the one from season 9. In seasons 1 and 2 that's show this scene, Barry and thawn arrive from a time portal together. Thawn wasn't transported here beforehand and had lunch with Barry or anything else we saw in season 9. So we STILL haven't seen the future flash beat thawn, because that can't happen anymore, even if it did originally. Also, it's a brand new earth prime that didn't exist in seasons 1-4(?) after crisis, so it really can't happen anymore either. So just like flashpoint flash and flashpoint reverse flash (season 2) coming in to stop pre-flashpoint flash (beginning of season two or end of season 1) from stopping the original thawn just... Became the new history, this season 9 Barry being the one who fights thawn and saves kid Barry just... Became the new history after crisis. ..... That paragraph physically hurt me

Listen guys I can save this show... In one of the episodes flash is going to reach the source wall where he meets sputnick guy (the 5th dimensional guy )from dc and that guy says it was all just for entertainment then flash fights him using speed force fullly

13:34 didnt imagine a logical deconstruction of most major religions in a flash tv show review.

The titles never fail to disappoint!
