10 TV Show Twists Absolutely EVERYONE Hated
7. Dr Alchemy's Secret Identity (The Flash)
Dr. Julian Albert is introduced as a super smart historian and crime scene expert working with the heroes to study meta-humans. He’s an intense dude, an arch perfectionist, but seems on the level - that is until the reveal that he is, in fact, the villainous Dr Alchemy. As a plot point, that was perfectly fine. As a twist, though, it was beyond predictable.
Did we mention that the good/bad doctor is portrayed by Tom Felton, the erstwhile Harry Potter antagonist Draco Malfoy? Anyone watching could see this one coming: poor old Felton is never going to be able to play a good guy again as long as he lives.
There was a mind control angle thrown in here, with Julian being controlled by big baddie Savitar, so there’s an argument to be made that Felton wasn’t actually playing a villain here. But that doesn’t fly with us.
Felton’s career could be a cautionary tale: you may think you want to appear in the biggest film franchise of all time, but good luck cracking on with your career once it’s done. He’s team evil for life now - it’s fortunate he’s so good at it.
