The Flash Retrospective Part 2 

If you dont pin this ur an L friend

*I truly believe that the first half season 6 of the Flash was probably best the show had been since season 2.*

I just love how a good majority of the flash community agrees that the show continues to worsen as it progresses. The entire flash show is essentially a rollercoaster of emotion of satisfaction and frustration.

i love how you manage to show of your points, point out the dumb behavior and yet not make it seem like you are destroying the writers.

Ahh yes, the “Eric Wallace” half of the show. You’re in for a bumpy ride my friend

S6A was literally the best thing in the graphic novel storyline. The issue was…. It did so well we believed that they would ALWAYS be that good, resulting in us having more issues w/ that planning.

The reason why Smart Barry didn't attack Eva during 7x02 was due to the fact that he couldn't risk getting the tachyon harmed in any way, shape or form. That's also the reason why he didn't save Frost in the same episode, he couldn't risk having the tachyon device being damaged even if the chances of damaging the tachyon was down to decimals.

Finally someone who understands that season 6 was really good. I have seen too much hate for this season.

I gotta say I was surprised of how much more positive you were for this era of the show compared to the first lol. Also leave Nora alone lol

Season 8 is lowkey underrated and season 6a is just so good

Stellar review man, just finished part 1 yesterday. You captured how a lot of fans feel about the show

i remember 6a feeling so good because of how there was seemingly no downtime, I remember in one episode Bloodwork starts outlining his plan and in my head I figured we were at the end of the episode and this plan was going to happen throughout the coming weeks only to be surprised that the next scene showed him enacting said plan and that's when I realized how much better the pacing felt.

10/10 cover art worth the suffering finding the hand 🤭🤭

Joe getting upset at Barry and Iris wanting to let Thawne die makes zero sense, considering he literally attempted to shoot Harry Wells back in season 2 because he thought it was Thawne reborn.

Oh boy we are in for a ride

“The last temptation of Barry Allen” episodes are great but Infantino street is my favorite episode even though hr shouldn’t have told Savitar where Iris was. It would be so cool if team flash was talking about where iris was and savitar learned as Barry would have ran In when they said where Iris was. “Last temptation of Barry Allen” has less cons than Infantino street but Infantino street is in my favorite season and has my favorite villain.

1:19:06 Yep same way that the speed force generated a new costume for barry when he came back and regained his speed after "dying" in season 2

i love you contempt of Nora lolol. hell and Iris. lmao and your mom too. glad we are all clear on that

I loved part 1, can't wait to dig into this

I literally finished the part 1 an hour ago and didn't realize part 2 was out

Wait imma comment and boost algorithm

I srsly love your reviews and how in depth they are tho, everything is so well thought out and you put so much dedication into it 😭😭😭 also the jokes are top tier LMAO

honestly, godspeed is the most depressing villain. SO much potential. Its not the actors fault but the story and his writing. I can deal with the shotty cgi but in the comics August Heart worked with Barry and is pretty much a “what if barry went evil”. They could have really let the fans get to know the man August Heart if they used that side of the character. Also if they had used the speedforce storm to make all the speedsters like in the comics Godspeed coulda drained all of them and could have really made it mysterious for the non comic book fans

39:39 I dropped DEAD of laughter xD

Everything said in this part and part 1 are all very good points...excellent work man

Im sorry but nothing tops season 2, nothing. Enter Zoom alone is the best single episode of The Flash. Flash goes downhill from season 2, unfortunately.

lets go underrated youtuber

LESS GOOOOOO Loved part 2. Cant wait to see ur review on season 9

1:18:04 I made it a head canon that the wraith only took zoom back to the timeline and erased his memory of the event so the timeline can proceed as it should

You deserve much more support

My disappointment is nonexistent and my day is so much better

Tbh with the forces story and the speedforce suddenly becoming evil i wish they had done something interesting with that. My idea would have been that reverse flash, zoom, savitar and rival having all used the speed force had tainted it and that has been slowly corrupting it, so barry and team flash has to fight off the attacking speedforce while having to find a way to set things right. Coming to only one choice, to split the speed force in two, positive and negative. As the negative side is killing the positive side and unless they do it barry, wally, jesse, jay and other good speedsters would forever lose their speed. So they separate the speedforce into two, one that looks like nora and is the good version and the other that resurrects reverse flash as its avatar.

I don't know why they didn't just recast Ralph Dibney. I actually liked him and how they adapted his character. Now we can't see his and Sue's development

watched part 1 andf was waiting for part two. I have been watching the flash since it comes out and the flash as a character has really made an impct on my life. I feel as if you helped me see how the show is not as good as i thought it was. anyway keep up the good work and I really enjoyed parts 1 and 2.

Bro thank you ! The first one was incredible

Great review mate longer the better

PART 2 HOLY SHIT

1.5 hrs later and its midnight but totally worth it

I really wish they stayed with the same momentum they had in season 6 I personally think the first 10 episodes of 6 were amazing even the ending was dark and a lot gorier I loved it

hell yeah

i personally liked the first one better, but this is still really good. good job 👍🏻

Almost to 1,000 subs. Hopefully you can get there by the end of July

No offense my friend but why didn't you talk about the part where Joe wanted Barry and Iris to save Thawne when in season two he tried to kill Harry twice without hesitation?

35:49 STOP I RMB THIS EVEN THO I HAVENT WATCHED THIS SEASON IVE JUST SEEN IT SOMEWHERE-

favorite youtuber ever go al 😋

this review is so good and in depth great work

I heard season six was the last good season. It seems like that was a fair assesment.

i think the script turned out pretty well 🤌

30:01 you’re not the only one, the only difference is that I have it on my phone and tablet 😂😂

I’ve been waiting for this

34:35 I think speedforce nora meant that it was the forces showing off how powerful they are, aka a flexing, aka a show of strength

For the despero mind read thing I think it's bc at first barry don't know despero can read minds so he loses at first but then the second time now that he knows he thinks fast so despero don't know which one is real barry

1:18:07 I think the time wrath just took zoom back to his time and left him there, and since zoom has no idea when that barry is from, he can't just go back into the time stream.

Another thing, in season 1 we got build up about the future newspaper but yet when crisis does happen nothing is fucking affected hell Barry doesn’t even vanish, why not when crisis happened have Barry vanish having them trying to figure out how to bring Barry back omfg and only the paragons I was supposed to remember but yet again Becky remembers from last night, and I’m sure other people remember

Seems a fair assessment. It had good and bad moments. Personally Nora wasn't that bad, but Bart I really couldn't stand. Pretty much cringed every time he was on screen. Saying this Nora became more annoying in that season. Maybe it was "the Bart affect". I liked the show especially the first few seasons. Haven't seen nine and will watch it eventually although from what I've read I've very little interest.

Bloodwork was the only really good villain of the graphic novel era IMO (other than Thawne, but he was introduced before that era so I'm not really counting him despite the fact that he was the main villain of 2 of the 3 graphic novels in season 8). Black Hole was interesting but unfortunately they made Eva the main villain of that graphic novel instead of them. The Forces arc was the worst the show has ever been, Godspeed made for some fun action but was not really an interesting character, and Deathstorm didn't capture my interest since he was just some evil spirit instead of a real person. I am very optimistic that Cobalt Blue will be a really good villain too, though.

The ligsaber battle was so dumb 🤣

Love your recaps🫶

I LOVE UR RATING ON THE NORA SPEED FORCE SUPIDNESS LIKE INST SHE BARRY'S MOM FAM SO HOW HES A DAD

55:03 that's his ego talking, hed rather have it be called "reverse flashpoint" and be associated with him rather then barry since hes the "reverse" flash even though reverse flash would mean literally that hes the slowest man alive

1:27:35 Thawne was waiting and caught godspeed by surprise when he turned around and remember it was 2 v 1 not thawne fighting godspeed and Barry just watching

I loved part 1. Finally subscribed and want to make videos like you. I hope this one is gonna be good but let's be real after season 5 flash turned out bad

although i love the build up to crisis, they just ruin the ending which was in the s1

Wow what a video. However I do want to say something’s that you missed. At the end of season 8, Nora says “Gideon says Thawne isn’t anywhere in the timeline.” … what? Just think about that. If Thawne isn’t anywhere in the timeline than the show doesn’t exist. If he’s not in the timeline than he doesn’t go back to kill Barry’s mother. Also, if Jay Garrick and his wife are alive on earth prime what happened to Barry’s mom and dad? Do they just not exist? Are they different people? Ok here’s my ranking for the seasons: Worst - best Season 7 (2/10) Season 5 (6/10) Season 3 (6.5/10) Season 8 (7/10) Season 4 (7.2/10) Season 6 (8.5/10) Season 2 (9/10) Season 1 (10/10) Something else I want to point out is how much the villains matter. Villains from seasons 1-6 have emotional attachment which was good. But in season 7 Godspeed just kinda wanted to run fast. And season 8, this mortal combat villain has no emotional attachment except Caitlin bride garbage. And if they are negative forces, how could they not be negative, we don’t grow to see their attachment to Barry like Thawne, someone that would do anything to live like bloodwork, or even getting revenge on his daughter and husband like Eva and Cicada. It’s just, their evil. And that’s it. I have some other nit-picks like Godspeed not having flickering lighting on his suit like season 5 and 6 but that’s about it. This was an amazing video and I can’t wait for your video about red death 💀 and season 9 all together.

season 8 just doesnt make sense cause OF THE TIME BEING MESS WITH

THe flash became starwars

Could you do a retrospective on other cw arrow verse shows pls

I hate the whole forces arc so much bro 😭

1:22:46 oh boy, if that annoyed u, wait until season 9...

Can you make a updated version with season 9?

Besides the mom and dad thing in Season 7 what I hate about the most in Season 7 is that they gave the speed force a personality... like what?!?! It just makes no sense. Anyways you should make a video about your opinion on all of the speedster suits in the Flash.

1:22:11 duh barry called him in advance before going to the hangar

i seen that u posted part 3 where did it go??

I don’t think the time wraith took zoom to speed force I think it just took him back to where he last was in 2016 also despero mind is too strong he just figured out which speed mirage was real Also I feel so confused why Barry Destroyed Caitlin’s lab when he did the also I don’t hate Nora but in certain times I believe she is annoying

I'm sorry am I missing something? I cold have sworn earlier that I saw part 3 to this but now it's nowhere to be found. Was I wrong?

How do three seasons make for a combined runtime of half an hour less than the video covering five seasons 😭😭😭

I think 6a was really good, but for I like season 3 & 4 a bit more. But I think season 6b was not the best. I just didn’t like it to much

❤

No more sniffles 😔

Bro i swear eric wallace hasnt even watched the flash

Welp if they starting to copyrighting your videos thats means you are winning lol

Iris goes missing and nobody cares.

I see you never talked about the Grodd episodes. What are your thoughts on them?

ITS HEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEE

Well season 9 is going 9n right now so

Why u ain't mention wally comeback season 6

I love these videos so much, but I do have to disagree with a lot of stuff u say lmao

You never mentioned The Nash and Thawne story all that much. What where your opinions on it?

I hate how they fired plastic man for his old tweets! Like it's long time ago so y judge him for something he prob doesn't even remember

What happened to part 3?

I can't tell which season your talking about anymore I don't know if it's you or me.

Season 7 was so fucking shit i’m sorry i just hate thinking about that season

hi

51:57

Season 1,2,3,4,6 are the best season I'll admit season 3 and 4 showed some of the bad writing but they were good season 5 and 7 however are horrible what's with Barry's helmet in season 5 hell nah season 7 was bad cgi except that moment where baBrry let's the forces be created like we got ugly she-hulk like God damn season 8 was an improvement and we see Barry use his powers and become a God and Nora is in her 20s I thought she was 16 she acts like a child and what does she mean if Barry kills Thawne he will be just as bad barry would be a hero

Hey could you do this with the transformers movies

Turn the music down

Omgomgongomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg

Season 9 is by far the worst
