    He poured his soul into this show, a great part of his life, and made a very relatable Barry Allen. Even if the writing felt off a couple of times, his acting made everything believable and would get you at the edge of your seat. The emotions Barry Allen felt, the people watching would feel together be it sadness, rage, despair, everything.

    I really appreciate that Grant knows he'll be associated with The Flash for the rest of his life, and that he's enthusiastic or positive about it. So many actors get a life defining role and then spend the rest of their careers trying to run away from it and be known for something else. So just knowing that he's happy with how it all has gone is one of the best capstones to the character and show in general.

      makes me think of Boris Karloff he was type cast in horror since he did so much horror and unlike Christopher Lee who wanted to be known for other stuff than just Horror films Karloff was a guy who respected it cause Horror is what gave him a career. i think Grant is the same way he wants to be known for other stuff as well and not just the flash but he also knows that he can do many other projects but many will only see him that way or they will watch his other projects but Flash will always be their favorite.

    I sincerely want to take time to thank Grant Gustin and the entire cast of Flash. When Flash first started I had recently lost my godmother who was my closest family member at that point of my life and Flash was a show that brought joy, laughter and happiness through a very dark period in my life. I’ve legitimately grown up with this show because I was 16 when it started and I’m now 25 and have so many happy memories watching this and other Arrowverse shows over these last 9 years. It’s really bittersweet that it’s ending but I’m looking forward to continuing to rewatch it and to see Grant Gustin in other roles as well.

    Grant Gustin is his own person and isn’t really The Flash, but whenever I look at him, I’ll always see the hero I grew up with, a hero who inspired me to never give up in spite of all odds. I may not be as fast as The Flash but I’ll be crossing the finish line with him one last time.

    Grant Gustin will forever be the perfect Flash, and won't have serious competition for the best portrayel of Barry for at least another 20-30 years and even then it would be very difficult to even come close to what Grant has done with the character.
    I feel so sorry for him that he had to work with some very bad and horrible scripts from season 6 onwards when Eric Wallace took control and completely destroyed the whole vibe of the show.
    I wish they also kept the writers of the first 5 seasons since they knew what they were doing and really prepared and put easter eggs in episodes which would be talked about in the next few seasons, that really required planning and they always managed to pull it off. While the writers from season 6 onwards just went along with it without amy actually planning in advance, made Iris disappear for a full season and even when Iris came back the writers didn't allow Barry and Iris to be a married couple and actually kiss, they made them seem more like friends than a couple which was shameful.
    If only he had better scripts he would have done wonders with the character.

    The Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl series were what originally got me into comic book media. I'd never even seen an MCU movie, but the Arrowverse got me so interested that I started watching anything to do with comics, and then reading as many of them as I could.
    While Arrow and Supergirl were both VERY different than their original comics, Grant Gustin truly got close to the heart of what the flash is even in comics.
