I agree on Arrow, this season didn’t really feel like it had a real consistent threat as you felt with Deathstroke. Although don’t even get me started on how he was defeated, given the man usually wins 9/10 against Batman himself. Season 3 felt like it was going in too many directions, I’m somewhat optimistic that it will get better now that it’s near the end but I’m not sure. I wasn’t able to get into Flash, Arrow has been kind of cringe worthy at times but Flash seems to take that to the thousandth level.
When I watched the Flash pilot I hated it. It was cringeworthy and just odd.
When Arrow and the Flash had the crossover episode I was enjoying some of the Flash characters so I decided to watch Flash the next week which was the mid season finale. That episode was just fantastic. I really enjoyed it so I decided to pick up the show. I still haven’t watched episodes 2-7 and it really didn’t affect much. If you were considering trying the Flash again just watch the pilot and skip to the crossover episode go from there.
From the way the second half of the season has been, it’s generally better than Arrow. Although the Flash has a lighter tone, I feel it’s more humanizing. Barry Allen seems less like a guy in a suit and more like a young human being. I guess that could be attributed to the fact that Barry has a personality unlike Oliver who, while fun to watch, is extremely moody and a static character. Gustin plays Barry well and it made for some good TV when Barry was emotional since he’s usually such a happy go lucky guy. The supporting cast is fun and the main antagonist is great (and not dull). All in all a good show I recommend giving it another go.
I actually was fine with Slade’s end just because I enjoyed the fight (I loved the cut to the flashback and cutting back to the present day).
I’m hoping Arrow gets better.
With that said what are your thoughts on the spin off for Ray Palmer?
It’s an interesting decision to say the least…
