There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a beta nerd loser

Other than that I agree with your list

Other than people seeming to have a vested interest in what other people enjoy, there's nothing wrong with your list.

OP here. I'd be fine with it if she was Mia Dearden, but she isn't.

It's as watered down as you can get and repackaged as a shit teen drama that in turn creates some of the most autistic fan bases out there. In short, normies ruin everything

To be fair, he was a blatant ripoff early on, but since then he's stood out differently. CW however makes no effort and basically repackages batman material constantly. I mean that Ras al Ghul shit? Really?

What's there to discuss? You've sperged on every front

Green Arrow is fundamentally discount Batman, there's a girl Speedy and black Wally in the comics, CW Barry Allen is how you do Spider-Man rip off correctly, and no shit Supergirl sucks

You've brought nothing new that wasn't already said and discussed before

>>89139576
I think Ras al ghul should go up against other heroes, makes him more threatening.

Has he tho? There's a reason why o'neil wrote a good green arrow and it's cause He's basically Batman.

Nothing wrong with that, he bounces all over the planet anyway. Problem I personally had was trying the "heir to the demon" plot with Oliver.

Nah, Arrow was a killer, and that was when the show was ironically good. He became more like Batman when he stopped killing and added sidekicks.

The Flash was good in the beginning, now Barry is a shitter.

Sure, and while we're at it let's forget that CW has

>Reverse Flash (both, but moreso Eobard), Deathstroke, Merlin, Captain Cold, Trickster - and generally the best villains in capeshit right now, including film
>the greatest respect for their source material, despite a shoestring budget
>amazing supporting characters (Joe, Wells, Diggle, Jay Garrick, and again - all the villains)

Not to mention the CW clearly invests resources into monitoring critical and audience reception and adjusting accordingly. Each season playing right now is an improvement of the last. A major example of this is Felicity, who was panned from her showing from S4 and has since been *completely* rewritten in S5. That kind of course correction is something you don't see from Sony,Fox,WB or the MCU.

Not saying your points weren't valid, but there is a lot the "CW-verse" is doing right.

Have any examples?
>He needs a room full of people to scream "Run faster!" in his earpiece
The only person who routinely gave him that advice was Wellsobard, who was conditioning him as for his own malicious intent. It was a speedster coaching another (rookie) speedster. The advice he gets from his gallery these days are technical advice, or POV advice as Barry rarely sees the bigger, clearer picture from the thick of the fight. It's Joe and Iris telling him to be careful and level headed. It's Cisco advising him to take advantage of electronic hazards or near by opportunities based off of futuristic tech. It's Caitlin advising him of his biological condition and or that of the meta he's facing. It's HR pushing him to think outside the box and do other things than just goesfast.

It's rarely - "run faster!"
>Barry's forensic background/ability is practically nonexistent
Except for all the times this season he cut off Malfoy and took control of the meta crime scenes, or the elaborate conspiracy he was building around his mother's death. Forensic specialists are not detectives, if you're expecting some Batman level deduction skill from a young CSI you're tripping.
>Every season basically boils down to "evil speedster"
Er... yeah. You're right about that one, unfortunately.
>Barry still fucks around with the timeline even though on multiple occasions its been proven to be a bad idea
It's called a character flaw. If you lived a fucked up life and the power to change it instantly you would, or maybe you wouldn't. It's a decision we see Barry struggle with and it makes him human, more relatable.
>Several characters are just completely forgotten
Like?
>We need to make Caitlin relevant
She's pretty relevant, what with her being Killer Frost and all. I admit it took forever for her to be more than a mouthpiece, but she's definitely in a good direction now.

I think most superhero TV shows are trash just because the budgets aren't there to really do the worlds justice, so they come off as being painfully cringey and cheap.

T-that's my opinion opinion anyway ha ha

>>89138866

>>89138866
>>Speedy is a girl
You basic bitch, you have no business complaining if you don't even know what you're complaining about.
>>
>>89147474

Cisco, Wells, Caitlan, Iris, Joe all did a version of "Run, Barry, Run" between seasons 1/2 and Wells had probably 3 or 4 of those alone.

If you need someone to tell you to do the only thing you have a power at..is exactly what he means.

"Run fast guy" "Ok" isn't same as being taught lightning throwing or phasing or some off shoot power.

The forensics stuff has been cut back but the main thrust is he shouldn't need a support team, between his enhanced 'super learning/speed reading' and his forensic background..why would he need anyones help? really? forensics deals specifically with crime related evidence and collection methodologies. Meaning his catching criminals is literally his job. Finding people. Even the most esoteric situation needs like a 2 minute scene where he calls someone up and goes "macguffin macguffin, bye"
>>
>>89151403

Looks wise yes, personality/acting more like cardboard cutouts.
>>
>>89138866
>wally is black
You're point? What does Wally being black actually change about his character inherently? Nothing, it changes nothing. Wally's race has absolutely nothing to do with his character in any significant way. Back to /pol/ with that shit.
>supergirl is uninteresting
Purely subjective. Sure, season 1 was kinda rough, but personally since CW took over I think the show has been pretty good. And Supergirl is written pretty well.
>>
>>89138866
>>Green Arrow is a discount Batman
true
>>Speedy is a girl
Do you even read comics?
>>Barry Allen is a beta nerd loser
Barry's character is a plain nerd with a heart of gold. The show is portraying that well.
>>Wally is black
take it up with the new 52
>>Supergirl is one of DC's most uninteresting characters
Supergirl has had a lot of character development

>>89139529
>implying you should treat established lore as gospel

Getting the tone down in an adaption is more important than accurately replicating lore and beat-for-beat plot points.
>>
>>89155819
>Purely subjective
To be fair, it's an argument about quality. It's inherently subjective because it concerns value.
>>
>>89153895
Daredevil is pretty good though
>>
Legends is the most entertaining one for me this season. Probably because they aren't trying to be serious on any level. It's fun to see how the gang is going to fuck up time and create their own problems every week. Then they berate Barry for making a relatively minor change and changing it back himself. I love it.
>>
>>89156381
Nah, second season was mostly crap and even the first season after the halfway point it lost a lot of steam.
