iris is a reporter in canon. also idc if they copy smallville because it was a fairly decent formula and i am still reeling from the disappointment of arrow and gotham :/
okay i didn't know she was a reporter in canon that changes things. except i'd really like to see new things i just want her to fucking know the secret (man of steel has ruined me for "i'm in love with a girl who doesn't know i'm a superhero" and also i just hATE THIS SECRETS BETWEEN BEST FRIENDS THING THERE'S NO GOOD REASON WHY HE SHOULDN'T TELL HER papa west can take a chill pill about it for real)
also like barry's "team" is super lacking in personality and iris isn't so like. fix this show

you think so?? i think the villains are there to help develop his characterization too. if anything, the show dismisses them too easily?
i guess more specifically i mean that i don't need so much backstory about one-offs. and i don't need long scenes about this villain meeting with his target's head of security that's unnecessary i don't care how he's gonna kill the dude only that he is.
so far, the other metahumans haven't done anything to further barry's characterization imo. like, i get the "look at these people who use their powers for bad things and here's barry doing good things" but to me it feels like that's all they're saying and that they could be saying that and more in much better ways
i dunno, the show's young, it'll take it a while to find its groove. i hope it finds a good one
all this to say i think basically we're saying the same thing just in opposite ways xD

It looked kind of lame tbh
this episode kinda was. but it's got a really cool relationship between a father figure and our hero which i love and the pilot was pretty good, if rushed and i totally love that it has people of color as main characters
i just really hope it ditches the tired superhero show formula soon. it'll be better once it does
