LAST again - so how is the Flash series now? Still masses of other speedsters about?

@hummingbird68 - @CaptainAmerica I still dont understand the hate for the speedsters in this tv show. The Speedsters and the speedforce are a key piece of the lore of The Flash. This would be like Batman without his crazy and dark twisted villains or his Batfamily.

The Flash Family is a key piece of the comics: Barry Allen, Wally West, Johnny Quick, Jesse Quick, Jay Garrick, Impulse and Max Mercury.

So the evil speedsters are too: Eobard Thawne, Hunter Zolomon, Red Trinity, Lady Flash, Savitar, Cicada, Godspeed, Future Flash, The Rival, Inertia, Daniel West and you could add Cobalt Blue to this list if you want.

So the show has done his job adapting the comics, the problem of this show have never been the speedsters, but how mediocre and repetitive the writing tends to be.

The problem of this show is that while the writers dont seen to have a problem rewriting and mixing together different evil speedsters into one character, they dont seen to do the same with the Rogues.

And the Rogues are pretty simple characters with really cool designs and powers. But they are all thiefs, killers and criminals with really basic motivations this writers clearly dont know how to deal with...

@AleSir19 - yup! The problem isn't the speedsters, it's how the villains are written. Season 1 was great, season 2 fell off a bit, season 3 started a bit slow, hopefully it ends great.

@AleSir19 - my issue with is the main villains are always speedsters. I feel it gets repetitive and it's lazy writing. The show can be more interesting if the big bad was just the same as thr heroes.

It would be like if Superman only fought Kryptonians. Not interesting.

2 Flash's ain't so bad, the edgy Felicity and deadweight Iris duo however...

I'm loving how they've been handling the Flash Family members so far.

While briefly he taught Jesse enough. With Jay, who's been handled a little less, it has been to bring wisdom to the use of Speed Force and the nature of time travel and now with Wally it'll be the team up dynamic from the comics. Plus, I think Barry will let him deal with more things in the same fashion Joe advised him (the whole "swimming" thing) so that he develops more as an speedster & builds up his own reputation.

In that way they can handle different things instead of doing the same thing and running the issue of either not getting things done despite there being 2 of them or the poorly "too many speedsters" complain. (Anyone that knows about Flash comics would know there is nothing wrong in this)

I wonder if Arrow and/or LoT are next in getting their own posters.

Can't wait for Tuesday!

We need a serious team up of villains against the flash, something challenging that forces all of team flash to bring their A game. Something fresh and nasty.

@Argetlam22 - yeah at some point they need to bring all major the rogues together
