As I loyal fan of the Arrowverse, I know this show is ridiculous, but hearing you recap everything makes me realize how much more ridiculous it actually is 😂

"...with the power of love"💀

Did anyone notice that season 1 was so good after watching all of these?

Thank you for the recap vid! I stopped watching after the Crisis event but decided to tune in the series for the final season, hopefully it'll be a good one

So basically the fastest man alive is never fast enough , gets beat till the last episode of the season and until iris or wells said run Barry run then he beats the villain after getting faster jus to next season not be fast enough again 😂

Watching this makes me realize I enjoyed the first 5 seasons. But 6-8 was when it really just started getting terrible. They had characters leave and replaced them with terrible characters like Allegra, who’s just not a well-written character in any kind of way. And the absence of good villains and the bad storylines just made those seasons not interesting. Hopefully Season 9 ends up getting back to the earlier seasons.

Such a good show and you summed it up so well!!

god this show went so off the rails. I see I lost nothing but stopping after the first season

I’ve watched all 8 seasons of The Flash during the Christmas break and I know everything that happens

Cecil is feeling your emotions...shes feeling that youre not excited for season 9 because of how bad previous seasons have gotten and you dont think theyll be able to get it back to season 1 quality.

my friend you deserve more views you are so underrated

Amazing! Needed the refresher course after being sick for the past year

Bro, this video is MASTERPIECE.

*Jay Garrick is The Flash from Earth-3 not 2

Love these ! Can you do one for Arrow as well?

I stopped watching after season 4 and briefly came back during the Armageddon arc. Show peaked during seasons 1-3 and been downhill ever since.

thank you for recapping this cause i swear i would've ran in front of a speeding car after season 8

Jay’s actually from Earth 3

Thanks, imma watch the last one now

Zoom was best villain show ever had

Love this so much

I've never seen someone get permenantly erased from history so many times.

You got this spot on.

Thank you !

I love the arrowverse with flash being one of my favorite shows and Arrow being my favorite show ever. I never really had a problem with the cgi, to me it looks good. Anything basically everyone hates I like apparently. Like Iris or Cecile. I truly feel bad for Iris's actress, because I've heard ( idk if it's true) she got death threats for the role. A lot of them because she is black. Awful, but I can't wait for season 9, because even though I'm sad one of my favorite shows is going to end, I'm happy about the journey of it and all of it's season. I enjoyed every single season, season 5 being my favorite season. Season 4, episode one (1) being my favorite episode in the series. Glad I experienced this journey with every one and can't wait to conclude it! Sorry for any improper grammar.

This video deserves more likes.

Wells is the only reason to watch this show

Great recap. Reminded me why I stopped watching in season 6 lol

can you give me a checklist of every Jay Garrick John Wesley ship episodes? awesome video

Good god the last few seasons were bad 😂 I’m hoping this final season puts a nice bow on the series

Great video but the Doppelganger of Henry was from Earth-3 not Earth-2.

Jay Garrick came from earth 3 not earth 2

Tqqq

11:40 Don't you mean Wells-meaning? 😏 27:12 "Electromagnetic light" - isn't that redundant?

If I recall correctly, Jay Garrick was from Earth 3… Not 2

Yes

Now the question is do I watch season 4 or wait for your recap?

3:26 "with the power of love" 💀💀💀 no way bro this aint a disney movie .

I was really excited about season 9, however i didnt remember anything (thus me watching this video), but i dont think i wanna watch it anymore 😭

I AM GOING TO WATCH S9 AFTER THIS FR!

You missed some things but good recap 👍

8:50 Jay is not the flash from earth 2 he's from earth 3 hunter played the hero and the villain

Pretty good but u massed up on wally he sister had to find out about him ;) n Jay is from earth 3 n u just skipped were Nora works with the young rogues but Pretty good to b a sum up I guess. But it a good video tho :) b safe

I noticed, Thawne/Reverse Flash went from loving and admiring the Flash to hating and loathing him, then as Wells/Reverse Flash he starts off hating and loathing Flash, to loving and admiring him....with a little TIME we all change, and change, and change.....infinity,888 the never-ending double loop we must FOUREVER travel through

your pronunciation of the letter 'S' is very strong

background music, robot

Flash being my favorite superhero of all time has cursed me to continue watching past the 3rd season of this abhorrent show

Actually Barry Oliver Queen AKA Green been knew each othe when he had a recurring role on Arrow Season 2 having a brief romance with Felicity Smoak before The Flash even aired. You probably meant Sherlooock not Sherlock😂 jk haha....BTW you forgot to mention Black Lightning was also part of the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover event.

Season 1: Murder of Barry’s mom, particle accelerator explosion, meta-humans, and Wells/Thawne Season 2: Earth 2 metas, Vandal Savage, Jay Garrick, Zoom, and Harry Season 3: Flashpoint, Savitar, Dominators, HR Wells, and Iris’ death Season 4: DeVoe, bus metas, Earth-X Nazis, and speed force symbols Season 5: Nora, Cicada, STAR Labs satellite, meta tech, Thawne’s escape, Cicada 2, and the lightning dagger Season 6: Bloodwork, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Anti Monitor, rebirth of the multiverse, post crisis, Eva, mirrorverse, and mirror duplicates Season 7: Artificial Speed Force, Barry getting his speed back, the Forces, Nora and Bart, Godspeed war, August Heart, and Iris’ time sickness Season 8: Despero, Armageddon, Joe’s death, Reverse Flashpoint, Black Flame/Deathstorm, death of Frost, Iris lost in time, original good Eobard, Fasttrack, Negative Forces, Iris sacrificed to bring back Thawne

I am confused.

I thought I missed alot but I really stop watching at season 6 or 7 but I remember all the events

As the season's went on the story line got more and more convoluted. I stopped watching about when Iris was trapped in the mirror. I don't plan on watching this or any other Arrowverse programs.

"But While in the Past , Barry Realizes That he must allow his mother to die in order to be a superhero ."

And I’m also excited to see The Flash season 9 the last season it’s going to be awesome

The most soap opera any soap opera has ever soap opera'd.

Thanks! I have a life and don’t have time to watch every episode.

After watching this I recently just thought about something. So Ralph was a meta that got his powers on the bus. But in a Season 1 episode named, ‘Blackout’. Harrison Wells (Eobard Thawne) tells the villain about all the lives he changed during the particle accelerator. And he said Ralph’s name. Which leaves me a question. “What does he mean Ralph had his powers before the bus?”

the show got bad when someone had the idea that iris should say "you are not the flash, barry. we are"

Barry deserved Patty and not Ires.

I love you

It it wrong that I like evil barry aka savitor

what

ITS SHERLOQUE NOT SHERLOCK

I was a loyal fan of The Flash series. Sad it drowned into ridiculousness.

I can shorten this even further: Every season follows the same exact recipe just different variables changed. The “fastest man alive” isn’t actually the fastest man alive or just isn’t fast enough to beat the new big bad. They struggle for 20 episodes with half-baked science that probably would never work in real life so they resort to “quantum” or some dumb time-space explanation that was drafted by a 2.0 GPA high school freshman. Included in the season is a bunch of really bad character development and dumb romances that go nowhere but to further the extreme cliche “love conquers all” theme. The big bad of the season is probably not the only one and there are like 7 stories going on at once that you’re expected to keep up with all of them, and you’re damned if you don’t, even though you don’t have to because they’re so useless and just there to increase runtime and audience suffering. But actually you do need to remember all the smaller stories because they’re briefly mentioned later to fill a plot hole that the writer’s clearly didn’t put any thought into, so they just quote something and shove it under the rug. And all of the stories are incoherent messes with 0 thought put into 95% of them, and no sense of pacing whatsoever. So damned if you pay attention, damned if you don’t. Finally, in the final 2-4 episodes, the big bad is either defeated quickly after Iris or Wells says “Run Barry Run,” and suddenly he’s more powerful than the big bad, even though he’s been horribly loosing the entire season. And regardless of how much the big bad planned and how powerful they are, they’re gonna get defeated, easily. Then Reverse-Flash returns to go “I’m faster nerd, screw you.” And Barry responds with “No U.” And reverse flash supposedly dies permanently, but we all know he’ll be back next season to more dumb writing and half-baked science that makes no sense because the writers can’t get their shit together. Or the big bad is defeated slowly and Reverse Flash is needed to help in some way, then betrays Flash at the end only to have the same exact shit happen. So really, there isn’t a difference in every finale. Then Barry and Iris kiss; everyone is happy, and they celebrate, and Barry is finally powerful enough. Until the next season where they do THE EXACT SAME THING. The early seasons had multiple exceptions to this rule and the writer’s actually did a good job, but near the half way point, they just gave up and just speedran their writing and thought processes to make a quick buck. It’s a disgrace and is why the superhero genre popularity is fading faster than my father’s love for me. Stan Lee would be very disappointed.

Can I just watch this video instead of the series?

what the f

Stop watching right before crisis end battle hap and oh man what the hell hap to this show. Dont get me wrong it peaked 1-3 and started going down BUT it still had some clear good plot line but man 6 and after just seems like one hot mess

After season 2, everything went downhill….

Personally I hate season 6. It’s just so bad. Luckily though, season 7 was much better and season 8 was really good.

Everything you need to know before season 9: it's gonna be the dumbest season ever

1st pin me

How about we dont watch season 9 was the worst season of any show ever

I'm sure you put effort and work into this but no one needs a recap before or if they lack brain cells to have watched this show beyond 3 eps in season 1.

Fisher should of never been brought in to the flash show

You got quite a bit wrong, but still, not bad

This garbage should be called the cringe. Geez this feels like its satire, 8 seasons of this? Kek
