If you cannot see how cheesy and bad this is, you have become immune to the American junk that is all around us, I urge you to watch real television. So I am tired of being treated like a moron. It seems kids are doing everything in this show. Actors look so dumb and out of place it makes me want to grab a cheese grater and slowly rub it over my face, causing me as much pain as humanly possible, only to distract myself from the fact that I just watched this show. I'll discuss the horror that was the recent Green Lantern movie in that thread. While he gains allies he never expected, there are also secret forces determined to aid and manipulate him for their own agenda.
Somehow all those police just overlooked the fact that they carry guns and neither of the villains was wearing a bullet proof vest. How about using the same speed to launch something like a brick at him? We just saw Barry serve coffee to a room full of customers without being detected because he can run really really fast - get it? Furthermore, Barry learns that he is but one of many affected by that event, most of whom are using their powers for evil. While John Wesley Shipp made a great Flash back in 1990, the writers just had to inject the usual cornball humour that ruined the show for me. And consistency is a problem. No one seems that impressed that he can run at the speed of light. In either case, though, how does one stop in the length of a high school corridor when one is traveling at supersonic speed? I was really looking forward to the 2014 version of The Flash. Run really really fast and take their guns away before they can fire them.
He defeats him with a risky move that requires him to run at supersonic speed, then enter a building and punch the villain. It is apparent by the plethora of scientific errors. Nothing in this show makes any sense. Two examples follow: In one episode, Flash fights an opponent who can turn to steel. . The kid wakes up after nine months of being in a coma and just walks out straight away, with a tan and perfect hair. The lab which blew up the whole city is still operating and although they claim to have lost everything, they can still afford to run this highly technical facility.
Coming out of coma nine months later, Barry and his new friends at S. When I was a lad back in the 60s my favourite super heroes were The Flash and Green Lantern. Barry Allen is a Central City police forensic scientist with a reasonably happy life, despite the childhood trauma of a mysterious red and yellow lightning killing his mother and framing his father. R labs find that he now has the ability to move at superhuman speed. I wanted to like this show, I really did. I think I'll be passing on future episodes. But the biggest problem is that the writers continue to ignore the fact that The Flash can run really really fast.
Determined to make a difference, Barry dedicates his life to fighting such threats, as The Flash. Check out the episode where he is up against Captain Cold and Heat Wave. The two villains are in the middle of the street and the only way he can defeat them is to get hit by both guns at the same time? Who is feeding the meta-human prisoners and where do they shower? Who pays to keep S. To say The Flash is written more poorly than The Dukes of Hazzard or Love Boat would be an understatement. Then there's the other option. There is obviously no one at the writers' table who is an actual scientist.
Only when a punch line is needed do Barry's sneakers flame up after running or to get her to take off her shirt Felicity's blouse catch on fire. All that changes when a massive particle accelerator accident leads to Barry being struck by lightning in his lab. The 2014 Flash suffers from a different problem. And even if they were. Are we supposed to believe these 20 year olds are running advanced scientific laboratories? The writers assume that the viewers are morons. If the theory is wrong The Flash dies.
Plots are the same each week, save for a different villain. Why can Barry run faster than a bullet but not a flagpole being swung at him? This proves to me that American television is getting dumber and less creative by the month! That's kind of the whole basis of the series. . . .
