8 Ways To Fix The Flash In Season 4

Let's just come out and say it: The Flash isn't quite what it used to be. Back in season 1, the show quickly rose to be many fans' favourite superhero TV series around due to its sense of fun and wholehearted embrace of comic book goodness. Somewhere along the line since then, however, The Flash has lost its way. Don't get us wrong, there's still much to enjoy about the show, but it is missing the spark that made it truly great in its debut year.

4) Move Away From Speedsters

Recommended Videos

Every week, we hear Barry Allen tell us in The Flash‘s intro that he is “the Fastest Man Alive.” It’s a catchy tagline, sure, but actually, it’s hardly true anymore. Over the seasons, so many speedsters have been introduced that Barry is more like the seventh or eighth fastest man alive. On the villainous side, there’s been Reverse-Flash, Zoom, Savitar, Rival, Trajectory, etc. Of the good guys, we’ve had Kid Flash, Jesse Quick, Jay Garrick… The list goes on.

This problem isn’t unique to The Flash, of course, as it’s actually a wider issue with the Arrowverse. Arrow is full of archers, just as Supergirl is full of super-powered beings and vigilantes. Still, the problem seems bigger with The Flash as the character has a very specific power set which should make him special.

For season 4, it would be nice if some of Barry’s uniqueness was returned to him. Just adjust the focus of the show away from its current emphasis on speedsters and have Barry gain some allies with different powers and fight some Big Bads with new abilities.
