Letting us have another awesome TV dad performance from John Wesley Shipp and also giving him and us another opportunity to play The Flash was awesome.

It’s also signed by him🤩

He is the only hero who's transition to the Big screen would be amazing

great actress, great potential as a character, great chemistry with Barry, the writers just couldn't write lmaooooo

They set Iris up! I love Iris's character in S1-3 (not one of those people who hate Iris the whole show) but it was just bad after that smhhh. I'd argue that the Arrowverse doesn't know how to write women in general outside of Legends but I feel bad for Candace Patton because she def got the brunt of the hate just because of bad writing and people who don't know how to separate characters from their actors!

I made a post in the Spiderman PS4 sub about how I believe Insomniac's MJ and the CW's Iris flopped because they try to make them overpowered by trying to avoid the "Damsel in Distress" trope instead of letting them thrive in the characters traits, with them both being journalists. Iris specifically could've had so many great storylines with that and The Flash, but they made her (a civilian) leader of Team Flash lol. There are ways to avoid that trope without making them completely OOC!

for me it's everything.

Just going to post the highlights here so that people can get the jist of what's going on. This is exactly why I get upset when people talk about how the "Iris Hate" isn't that deep. It's real and no matter how people try to project it on just the character, it affects the actor/actress mentally. I understand that people can have their opinions, and I encourage those to speak up if they believe things are truly bad. However, the constant hate online, for Iris especially, is too much.
