Once upon a time i gave this show a 10 star rating on Trakt. Although the "villain per week" with the "big bad per season" was getting kind of old, it made sense. If i wanted to watch a nice super hero movie i would go to the cinema and watch one from Marvel, if i wanted to stay at home i would watch something from the Arrowverse like "The Flash".
Currently, every tv/movie franchise needs to provide inclusivity for each type of individual. Everyone should have the right to relate to a character and dream what would life be in a fantasy world. The main problem is, execution. The budget for great CGI may differ largely comparing to a big action movie but ideas are priceless. This is where "The Flash" started failing.
This "power of love" thing to solve everything is getting out of hand. Either the "big bad" redeems itself at the end, or wasn't so bad after all. If in the rare case it reveals to be impossible, something in the storyline will get him killed because the Flash doesn't kill. Everything is solved with friendship, love or family.
Marvel revolutionised the way we watch TV Show, regardless of their CGI budget. You know it's good when the show ends and you keep thinking about what some character said, that is not the case anymore. Sometimes it feels like "The Flash" already died and we're trying to love a zombified version of itself.

But what is grief, if not love persevering?
