The Flash: We Are the Flash (2018)
Finally it's over!
SPOILER: Season four should only be seen while taking a dump (save your precious time). If there's anything to look forward in season five; hopefully, they start out by dumbing down 'Iris the Thinker 2.0' (great moniker by breathedirt)-- Writers should introduce the Thinkless cap. First we get Iris in a vegetative state. That first episode will make the precedent for the remaining episodes.
The Flash: Run, Iris, Run (2018)
Just kill off 'Iris'- seriously!
Like many others, I've been inspired to comment in Imdb for the first time, because I can't take anymore of Iris -just like Felicity and most of the actresses in Arrow. She has been a pain to watch ever since she's got the group leader role. Season four of the Flash is the worst so far in the series -barring episode 15; well done- and she is a big contributor to its displeasure. If you were worried about out of the box thinking, she needn't be a group leader to give such ideas.
Either get her to remain in the background, or just hack her head so that she doesn't return to the show-Barry can cry an entire episode (he can get over it as easy as Iris had got over her first love's demise)-and we would be extremely grateful.
I have always felt that the chemistry between Detective Spivot and Barry was so much better than Iris & Barry. So, rewrite the script and get Spivot in Barry's love life.
Btw, it's just Iris; the rest of the female cast are doing well. I would like to add my liking for Iris had changed dramatically since Season four.
I've decided to add to my review as a response to someone' who thinks most of us are 'showing our a$$es' -unknowingly embarrassing ourselves...
Firstly, nobody wanted Iris to give up her own professional ambitions to support her husband's work full-time (she was working in the same city, not somewhere far off). We have a problem that she decided to do just that. Don't care for her supposed sacrifice.
Secondly, to your qn: Is Barry's wife supposed to be a reporter and be showing up uninvited at fights with a microphone and camera so Barry has to save her Lois-Lane-Style? She was already doing that while single and dating someone else. Not that we enjoyed it, but she wasn't prominent enough to bother.
Thirdly to your qn: Is Barry's wife supposed to be working in an office that has nothing to do with superheroing that we cut to, or if we don't, we just hear her complain about her office politics to Barry while he's trying to save the city every week?
This is where I feel, as mentioned earlier in my review, that Detective Spivot is a better fit to be in the role given to Iris, cos she is already in the same line of work, has the experience and ability to be in fights other than office politics :P
Also, I don't think anyone is pissed Barry actually moved on with his personal life and got married? Maybe you are speaking from your life experience. And lastly, your insight on girlfriends getting killed off to make the hero more motivated - any personal loss is an opportunity to roll into a ball, or rise stronger than before. That plot is never a flaw for any superhero.
Have a nice day everyone :)
