Well I agree with that. I'm pulling for a more definitive explanation as to why Caitlin's powers automatically make her evil. For Cisco's powers, he was only afraid of them, but I think we saw briefly he embraced them and was on the side of good. With certain scenes we were shown Caitlin can control her abilities then all of a sudden the writers have her go full blown Frost only to turn into Killer Frost by the end of it. I personally have no problem with the complexities of that. Whither it's a Hulk personality disorder, I wish they were a tad more clear. What I have a problem with is Iris, she is far down the least developed character on the show. She has nothing grown from the ground up and she found journalism boring at the start, that was her bread and butter.
yeah let keep in mind with the hulk it wasn't his personality disorder effecting his power and they made that clear from jump.
it was from the abuse from his father that he may have been mutant and his father repeating same action's his own dad did to him.
with caitlin they said it's her power after meeting her alternate self. bruce's is from abuse and the side effect's come out in his powers next to thee rage.
it's the power effecting Caitlin with in the show that writers keep's pushing which is the other way around and it failing cause we've seen that's so mostly cause of her perception and an inaccurate one. But writer keep going there even when barry showed her otherwise . which is why so many have this issue including both you and I.
I was giving the writers the chance to have said it was due to family trama like she may had brother as well on earth one and she was suppressing terrable event cause they did overly pushed that brother bit in season 2 and over pushed how cold mother was and they kept pushing it that way . but instead they made that event though her mother wasn't open enough with her own feeling's, she didn't do anything overly abusive to send Caitlin into this state and her dad being out of the picture wasn't enough ether.
so they sadly dropped the ball with alot and it's too late use the brother angle or the details about her dad that should have been told by now cause they didn't care about it.
this why I said with the hulk it was written better the power weren't problem. they were side effects by his mental problems . with her they keep saying they are the problem and they can't use the smart way that's done by other writers now..
other's need to under stand though I said enough time's I'm not dissing them (the writer) when I say we know they capable better.
I mean it. we've seen them write a great season in season 1. but since then it's like they ether got lazy or they noticed alot of the fan base dropped arrow and they're "oh we better show we're like the writing team on arrow, we over did it with our talent" "and that's not good for our buddys on the other show." which would be ridiculous if the latter part is true.
So it's likely they being lazy . Cause it better not be that .
The point is I know this writing team on flash can do better then this with both Caitlin and Iris . I'm not insulting them . I just know they are capable of better. so I hope no one is mistaking what I'm saying. the thing with hulk is different cause it took what was done with MPD worked it to with other interpretation's of MDP other mediums made it clear his powers which weren't the cause.
with this it's the other way and alot didn't make sense where the hulk own was trying make it clear it was due his problem growing up and from abuse. sadly the writer's are saying opposite with Caitlin . the actress is do awesome. The writer when I or others say you can do better it mean's I'm still rooting for you. but seriously you should 've done certain thing's earlier instead of half way and not caring any more.
when they do that it doesn't help what they're doing and adding it in later when you realize it . it will be too late for the most of audience . And it hard to root for them then. and they are creative smart people, I know their capable of do what your capable from the jump and those other's on arrow should be upping their game to match you .
this is what it should be for thr flash writers. this is why I'm watch these smart shows . I sometimes feel I'm getting more out of the black list with David spader then this show when they both deal with sci -fi element or when adding in things/serous issues like split personalty's yet have something thing extra added to it.
Is it a weird comparison? to some degree yes. but that show has gone to level in sci fi that even the comic explore and area's of the same genre. so at time 's it's not weird. they both have their own identity I know . I'm just saying we've seen them do better on flash .
this isn't the most horrible I've seen tv wise . I'd take flash over arrow a million time over . and I'm not on the verge of dropping the show like I did arrow or where I'm dancing on dropping Legends . I just know they are capable of better. if the hulk comic writer's wrote something that people literally made articles that psychologist would look over with comic book 's . this show capable of this too. I know this might going over some people heads.
and there's so much they can do for Iris . so much it's not hard to brain storm some idea at the meeting table for her.
