Incoming rage and spoilers for Flash finale:
Wow, what a piece of garbage ending for a piece of shit season. This makes me hate that garbage cinematic universe even more now because this only happened due to that piece of shit Ezra Miller playing Barry in that upcoming piece of shit Justice League movie!!!!! I hope the movie bombs so hard that everyone at WB gets fired for stupidity. Why did Jay not go back into the speed force then when he did it before? This was so stupid. They should have just had it be a chain reaction thunder storm that started to give random citizens speed abilities ala Rebirth. Not this laziness. So that aside, the opening was also another cop out. Not that it wasn't obivious that HR and Iris switched places, but how rushed and halfassed the entire explanation was. It didn't make any sense. They should have switched places BEFORE Iris went to Earth 2 and have that be the reason why Iris gave her dad the ring. Oh god my brain hurts. On a positive side, Julian didn't die, so that was surprising. I expected him to sacrifice himself so Caitlyn could return. She'll most definitely be back by the mid season break next year though. I did actually like what they were trying to do with Savitar, but it all ended up being just a waste of time since that would have meant no big fight scene at th end. Heaven forbid they do something different for a change. At least the fight itself was cool for the whole 30 seconds it lasted. I did like Flash in the Savitar armor though as the red really made it pop. Although, he went from being Megatron to The Fallen. Overall, this season was a huge step backwards for what the show did in its first two. That isn't to say it was all bad, because there were a lot of great things that came out of it, but they were few and far inbetween. There was a total disrespect to the source material this year though and I don't know what happened, but whoever was in charge should be fired. What they did to classic villains like The Shade and Mirror Master was insulting. Turning Flash into the mopey brat they did spat on everything The Flash stood for, but I guess that is what DC wants. They don't want heroes, they want thugs. They want everyone to be as much of a loser as those that proclaim to be heroes as The Watchmen. I hope they rectify this crap early on next season and bring Barry back quickly because there is no way this version of Wally can handle a show on his own. Not just that, but they need to return to being accurate to the source material and apologize for the stunts they pulled this season. Hell, wipe out of continuity with a retcon. I don't care what, just get rid of it. There is more that I want to say, but I've already spent enough time on this season. So much time defending it for no reason whatsoever. Thanks DC. Thanks a lot. Now I look like a fool for wanting to see the brighter side of your franchises. I give Flash Season 3 a 5/10. |

Well this was a ground breaking finale for Arrow. It was so refreshing to not have Star City under a big siege or something for a change. The return of both Deathstroke and Boomerang was nice, albeit wasted. Obviously Malcom and Boomerang are not dead though because we didn't see their bodies. The fight choreography was really top notch again and I really loved how the flashbacks were integrated into this episode. It is the way they used to be. Of course, with that said, NO MORE FLASHBACKS!!!! Yay!! Everything has come full swing. Obviously everyone got off the island in time, but at least it didn't pull some bs exile moment or something. Had there not been a cliffhanger ending, this could have easily made for a great series finale, but nope, it just couldn't last five minutes longer.
I really don't get the notion that every series these days has to have a cliff hanger ending. If people are going to drop the show, they are going to drop it whether it leaves off or not. The only thing you are doing is hurting the fans that are going to come back because it doesn't give them closure. Overall, this season was a mixed bag, but it was a vast improvement over seasons 3 and 4. Prometheus was a lame villain and it being Chase was way too obvious. Nevertheless, we did get a really great cast of characters and there were a lot of strong episodes this season with the best of them being the gun registration one. Felicity remains the biggest negative of the show so I would like to either see her go or take a big step back for a while. The flashbacks were done quite well this season and they felt like they were related to the narrative as a whole again. It's far from perfect, probably tettering on agressively average, but you know what, at this point I'll take an average season over a subpar one like we got with Flash, Supergirl, and Legends. I'm going to give the season a 7/10. |

Really surprised by how my opinions of Flash and Arrow very much swapped as their seasons progressed. That finale last night was just great.

Personally, I found that Flash Season 3 had a really strong start, but started to go downhill towards the halfway point.
On the flip side, I feel the reverse for Arrow which started slow but the built up momentum towards the halfway point. |

Wonder Woman reviews are going up with the lowest so far being 80%. That's great!
