The Flash Season 3: 7 Ups And 2 Downs From 'Paradox'
6. The
Ever-Hopeful Barry
The CW
One of the things that makes Barry Allen
the true hero that he is, is the constant hope and positivity we see so often
exemplified in he does on a daily basis. And that hope
and positivity was front-and-centre in Paradox.
He’s only recently had to
knowingly allow his arch nemesis to kill his mother once more, and he’s now in a present day where there’s not exactly a whole lot of love amongst
Team Flash’s regular faces. However, that doesn’t stop Barry from always looking to make
the best of each and every situation.
It may not have been all that appreciated,
and it could easily be classed as a little annoying to some at times, but you’ve
got to admire Barry for doing his best to get Joe and Iris back on speaking
terms whilst also attempting to calm the ire that Cisco has towards him.
Down to his very fundamentals, Barry Allen
is a hero who is so often a sign of hope, a brightness in the dark, a constant
stream of positive energy, and again we saw that at full force here.
