🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?
The theory that Iris loved the Flash and not Barry. Her confession in s2 is literally her stating otherwise. People love to cite Armageddon, but…aside from that being very victim-blame-y (sure, guys, put that on Iris instead of the guy literally messing with her mind), people also forget that she literally shot Eobard, whom she thought was the real Flash, for the sake of Barry, whom she thought was the Reverse Flash. And then whispered “Barry, I love you too” with enough power to motivate him to set things right. Does that sound like someone who only loves the Flash??
💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?
I see the appeal in Barry/Snart as a ship, but I don’t ship them. Same for Harry/Cisco, though in that case, it’s because I don’t see their dynamic that way
💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?
Iris’s “you are not the Flash, Barry, we are” is a supportive line, not a dismissive one. It’s “let’s carry these burdens together”, not invalidating him! Really, it says the same thing as “there is no Flash without Iris West” and “without you, there wouldn’t be the Flash”…both of which Barry said, pre-s4 (and also, Barry says “we are the Flash” in a later scene 👀 the line everyone attributes to Iris is in fact first said verbatim by Barry)
💙: Which character is not as hot as everyone else seems to think?
…listen I’m very much biased because I’m not ace and don’t see people as “hot” 😂 in terms of “attractive” tho…maybe Oliver Queen? Idk, he just doesn’t do it for me.
💜: Which character is way hotter than everyone else seems to think?
Idk if anyone in the Arrowverse is underrated in terms of attractiveness tbh 😂 maybe Cisco? I’m not totally sure.
🤍: Which character is not as morally bad as everyone else seems to think?
I’m not sure if people still hate Harry for killing Turtle, but the people who do need to bffr.
First of all, Turtle was not a helpless victim, and I despise how the show, and the people who hate Harry for this, constantly ignored that when talking about how Harry killed a man. Turtle is a domestic abuser who killed his wife and gloated about it, and then gloated about doing the same to Patty.
Second of all, the context: Harry did it to figure out how to steal Barry’s speed, so he could give it to Zoom, who dangled Jesse in Harry’s face to remind him of the consequences of failure. He wasn’t killing in cold blood. He wasn’t even doing it because he wanted to. He even warned Team Flash that he’d choose his daughter over them!! And even Barry defended his decision to the Team, as he should, because any of them would do the same thing/similar things to protect their loved ones, AND THEY HAVE! And we don’t hate them for it because their motivations are understandable!
💖: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?
Doesn’t seem to be much of an unpopular opinion on Tumblr lol but I don't like s3. I like some parts of it (and the Westallen moments in it are (mostly) to die for), but it’s such a mess. It even pisses me off because it could've been so good (and also because parts of this fandom will call it the "best season" unironically...and a subsection of them still call for the death of a certain leading lady)
Also Savitar was a boring villain until he was unmasked, and idk why so many people liked him before that
💀: If you had to choose one major character to die, who would you choose?
Oooh this is a hard one, because usually my inclination is to save characters they’ve killed 😅 I guess Nash? I mean, his biggest contributions were kicking off Crisis and housing the Wells. Crisis could’ve happened so many different ways, and for the latter…they could’ve just bought back Harry instead of having Nash be his very boring mouthpiece. I wouldn’t remove him from the show entirely unless Crisis happened a different way, but…post-Crisis, he’s entirely extraneous
unpopular opinions ask game!
