I remember the days when The Flash used to be not only one of the greatest series of the Arrowverse, but also one of the best comic book TV shows ever made, but those days are sadly gone.
The producers of this show sacrificed Red Death, one of the most terrifying villains in DC Comics in order to give gravitas to one of the worst characters ever created, Ryan Wilder.
Because of course when a powerful speedster is about to kill millions, you would be wrong to think that "the fastest man alive" was the one who would stop her, he had to desperately need the assistance of this universe's Batwoman.
Let's not even pretend this series is even Barry Allen's story anymore, it has not been for years. In a TV show about the Flash, Barry is the least developed character, and we all know it. Why should he be the one to defeat one of Flash's greatest adversaries from the comics? We know how little do the producers care of Barry Allen or the audience.
The only reason they brought Ryan Wilder back is because they wanted to give this undeserving character a last hurrah, never mind that Javicia Leslie is such an overactress that she chews the scenery every time she is on screen. At least she is versatile, because no matter if she is playing hero or villain, ether way she is a terrible actress.
We can also not fail to mention that in the pantheon of great villains the show has had with the likes of Eobard Thawne, Zoom, Savitar and others, this version of Red Death was incredibly weak and pathetic, but it's not like the audience even deserve a good comic book TV show anymore, when the most important thing is to glorify a character whose show was rightfully cancelled.
We all know this series has been agonizing for a long time now. But if it had finished with the season 8 finale, at least it would have died with dignity.
