So, I was watching this on TV and literally and unironically

The Flash and other CW shows are pieces of shit. This is not news to anyone. You forgot to mention the shit writing and acting that gets in the way of having compelling character development. It's not just the "american TV show formula", but also a lack of talent. No one with a brain thinks simply having multiple universes or time traveling is decent or interesting.

>This thread is not to bash people who like this show or Arrow or Gotham
Gotham is very different from flash/arrow

The first season of Gotham was pretty good for what it was, but holy shit I hated Jada Pinkett Smith. Her character was so annoying and in my opinion brought the entire show down. Season 2 seemed like a drop in quality from season 1, and season 3 right now I can't seem to want to keep up with. It's okay but when shows keep taking breaks for the holidays and sports events it throws everything off.

I've never seen Flash/Arrow so I can't speak for them. I watched the first few episodes of Supergirl and it didn't grab me despite Supergirl being a cutie.

I'm looking to discuss why these shows seem so formulaic to me when others of the same genre feel more raw and distinct. It's not simply a "flash is shit" thread. It's got great positive points, but I can't watch it for those other reasons.

It's not a new trend, it's exactly like Smallville.

All of them are the same, start off well then get shit.

Arrow season 1 and 2 are pretty solid, but they then get terrible.

I liked show even though it was stupid but I could't stand one thing - Flash's power levels were changing every ten minutes.

You do realize like 95% of tv/movie follows a formula that's been used before. Storytelling and plot pacing don't really change much from show to show. Sometimes you have shows/movies that are out of order and those may be the exception but spoiler alert that's not original. It's 2017 and most everything has been done before. It's not an American thing. It's a human thing and literally all writing falls victim to it because you have to follow it to have some coherence. There's nothing wrong with that to tell a good story or have a good show people can follow.

I don't watch many un-American things but Broadchurch comes to mind, a great show by the way, but it's nothing new. Oh no, looks like the brits are following some shitty formulaic writing and it brings the entire show down...

i honestly believe this is a show intended for childen age 11-13. it's beyond terrible in every way. i forced my way through the first season and as someone who's watched a lot of trash this was one of the few times it felt like i had wasted time.

Yeah, but it's really gotten to a point where it's truly tiring, at least for me. I've watched shows like that, sometimes because the story was interesting enough to override those faults, but holyshit it's just always the same shit now. Potential is being completely wasted on these badly produced shows. Kinda makes me sad.

>>80091222
Does anybody actually watch these shows? I know absolutely nobody that has watched Arrow, Flash or any other shite superhero tv show. Who are these made for?

Contrary to what you believe, most people don't go about talking about the TV shows they watch 24/7. Go outside and meet people who have adult lives

>>80092503
Not that guy but a normie adult.

I talked to my buddy about Gotham when it first came out. I was kind of surprised he was watching it but he said he enjoyed it. We've never talked about it again but I wouldn't be surprised if he's still watching it.
