We're only a few weeks into the newest season of The Flash, and it's shaping up to be just as good as the explosive first season that preceded it. These last two episodes have been great, and theyre clearly setting up bigger things for the future Even some of the best shows can have flaws however, and there have already been a few scenes this season that have raised some flags due to their inconsistencies with what the show has already established. The way certain scenes have played out, or the actions the characters have taken just don't make sense considering everything that had happened to them in the previous season. Some of these problems might be addressed later on in the show's run, and the others aren't really problems to begin with, but still, what would a nearly perfect show be if we couldn't nitpick trivial inconsistencies that we've noticed while watching? Spoilers for the Flash series will follow...
10. The Flash Channels The (Old) Arrow
When Arrow first started airing, Oliver Queen simply killed everyone he came into contact with, dispatching thugs and crime bosses alike without even knowing exactly why he was doing it. As seasons progressed, Oliver took on a new no killing rule, and he enforces his rule on every crime fighter in his city. When The Flash began, anyone who died was either killed by their own reckless use of their power, or someone other than the Flash put them down. The Flash's ethical code for not killing even spread to the villainous Captain Cold and his rogues. Their thinking was that if they were such good criminals, then certainly they could pull heists without killing. With all that said, Flash is about to overtake Captain Cold's kill count after these first two episodes, and he doesn't seem to mind a bit. Making Atom-Smasher overdose on radiation and blasting Sand Demon with lightning, there hasn't been a single scene afterwards of these murders bothering Flash, outside of him saying sorry to Al Rothstein. Not a single person on the team seems to care, and if it keeps up at this rate he'll even surpass Eobard Thawne in his kill count by the mid-season break. The Green Arrow might have a problem with that if he were to ever find out.
Any time I'm not writing, I'm likely arguing about children's cartoons with strangers on the internet or staring at my ceiling and wondering where it all went wrong.
