    Best viewed in HD 720p + earphones. Info (song, etc.) at end of the video!
    _______________________________________________________________________
    So I guess I’m making a habit now of uploading videos on the night of the premiere…nothing like a deadline to get my ass in gear lol…
    This one was 100% inspired by these amazing Bellamy Blake videos, without which I never would have had the idea to do this:
    • guilt is all i have le... (for the style)
    • Bellamy Blake | what i... (for the song…also the style, which was inspired by the first one too haha)
    It’s definitely a different style from what I normally do, but I thought the concept/style of those videos would go so well with Barry’s arc* in season 3 that the idea was too good to pass up! It kinda felt like a train wreck the whole time I was working on it but I think by some miracle it actually turned out okay, haha

    WARNING: Rant ahead - read at your own risk ;)
    *Barry’s arc in s3…okay so I used the term “arc” here a little loosely lol, if I’m going to be honest I was quite a bit disappointed with the writing for Barry and in general in s3. One thing I liked was that they brought back the consequences of the decisions he’s made, not only all the FP stuff, but way back to 1x23 with Eddie and Ronnie’s deaths, which I always felt weren’t done proper justice. Both in 3x07 and 3x16 they get brought up, and 3x16 has a huge focus on this “not letting others pay for my sins” thing…however, that’s left completely unresolved by the end of the episode, since ultimately he has to let Jay sacrifice himself instead.
    What’s really ironic, is despite the whole message of that episode being “I have to be the one to save Iris, no one else can do it for me,” in the end it’s HR who saves Iris, and sacrifices himself in the process. I thought at this point Barry would be devastated, because it just keeps happening OVER AND OVER AGAIN. But no one really seems to care except for Tracy, and then the whole finale centers around Barry trying to keep his humanity by letting Savitar live, not becoming Savitar, etc. It really threw me for a loop and I felt like the writers just didn’t know what arc they wanted to write for Barry anymore.
    At HR’s funeral we see that Caitlin, although not KF, is still permanently affected by what Barry did. Yet another person who’s suffering on account of him. And after the funeral he just laughs on the couch with Iris??? I mean, I thought that was a super cute scene between them, but it just felt…wrong? What happened to not letting others pay for his sins? Ever since 3x16 I’d been hoping that Barry would sacrifice himself to the speed force at the end of the season, so once I saw they were actually doing that I literally clapped my hands because I was so relieved lol! He seems to accept this fate as his penance so readily, you’d think maybe deep down he still felt all that guilt…but for me it just wasn’t showing through at the end of the season, so I was honestly a little confused.
    One thing I do really love though is how nicely the finale paralleled back to 1x23 with Ronnie going into the wormhole thing and sacrificing himself…right down to the way his and Caitlin’s hands slip apart as they’re saying goodbye, same as Westallen in 3x23. It’s like we’ve come full circle and Barry’s guilt over Eddie’s/Ronnie’s deaths finally have a conclusion. Which means Barry is going to get a fresh start in s4, not be bogged down by guilt all the time (and it’ll feel right, because he did his “penance” already) and hopefully we’ll have a much lighter tone as they’ve promised us. Granted, Arrow promised a lighter tone in s4 and it was anything but light lol, but I still have hope :)
    Sorry about the massive rant, just had to get that out of my system… and if you’re familiar with my db’s you shouldn’t be surprised lol
    Anyway, happy premiere watching, and here's to a lighter season! :D
    EDIT: THE PREMIERE WAS SOOO GOOD!!! SO MANY CALLBACKS TO SEASON 1!!! I’m trying not to get my hopes up but I already feel like this season is going to be fantastic :D

    0:45 I love how you edited it so it looked like Barry actually killed them even tho he didn’t but he felt like he did so it is kind of a visual metaphor for that
    Or maybe I’m just thinking about it too deep lol❤️💕 love it tho 😍

    wow, you really captured Barry's journey very well!! this is so beautiful and well-done!
    and you're right, the writing on Barry has been somewhat inconsistent last season, but I loved that in the end he sacrificed himself as redemption for what he's done. and despite some errors in consistency last season really showed that Barry is as much of a flawed human being as anyone else. being a hero is not about being perfect, but about putting the greater good above all else.

    • @turnonthelightvids
      @turnonthelightvids  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Aww thank you so much!! I’m so happy to hear that!
      And I agree, I love how it showed his flaws and I really appreciated that in 3A, how it showed him having to deal with the consequences of his decision - especially because this meant a lot to me on a personal level during that time. And yes I loved how it ended with his redemption! Thanks for reading my db btw, and sharing your thoughts! :)

    Barry is a human with powers. He is not a God. I challenge anyone to say they know they wouldn't have made the same mistakes. He watched his mother be brutally murdered when he was a young boy and didnt get to live with his father because he was wrongfully imprisoned for it. When he finally thinks he is past his mother's death, he watches his father die too. He begs for his dad's life. Who out there can say they wouldn't go back to save their parents. That's why he was so obsessed with saving Iris. I believe he would have been almost as obsessed had it been Joe. But he risk his life all the time for people. Thanks to the arrow and Iris for being realistic and EMPATHIC. He never intentionally hurt anyone. He was a young developing boy with powers that chose to use them to save people's lives. I'd rather have Barry and all his mistakes than any of the people calling him a villain or harping on his mistakes. Those people are arrogant and judgemental. Not the makings of a superhero. Thank you Barry Allen aka FLASH! 💥

    He really screwed up the timeline!!.... This was freaking incredible! At around 0.32 when u started doing ppl dropping down to the beat of the song, I was like OH MY FREAKING LORD!!!! ur editing is insane!! Ur use of VOs is just another class, when u made so many overlay each other! Wow! U just made me realise how screwed up everything went since s1.... I wanna check out s4 but I prob won't understand anything! I loved this vid! Had a huge smile just coz of Joy from watching ur awesome editing at work! Ur parralels like always are amazing! Especially with all the ppl dropping dead - morbid much :D
    Can't wait for more of ur edits!!! ♥ 😍

    • @turnonthelightvids
      @turnonthelightvids  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      OMG THANK YOU SOOO MUCH HUN!!! It really means a lot to me, I was smiling so much reading this! I'm really glad you liked the VO's, some of the overlaying was intentional but in some parts I think it accidentally got a little too crowded haha, but I'm so glad you like how it turned out! And alsjdfj what you said about the editing and parallels made me so happy :') And haha all the people dropping dead, I felt so bad making that but it was too good to pass up xD The s4 premiere was great! Reminded me more of s1 and it's been a while since I enjoyed an episode of this show as much as I enjoyed 4x01. And actually I don't think you'll have much trouble understanding it at all... all you really need to know is that Barry went into the speedforce at the end of s3 and Caitlin is no longer KF but she left the team at the end of s3, other than that it's pretty much a fresh start! So yeah, I'd say check it out if you have the time! And thank you for always watching my Flash edits even though you don't watch the show anymore, it really does mean a lot ♥

    OMGGGG I LOVED THIS SO MUCH !!! Your Barry videos are always so good !!!! I love all the parallels between the people dying because of Barry or for Barry and the onsequences, which, as you said in your description, is not really obvious in the show, I agree 100% with what you said, the final scene was beautiful but instead of this feeling of peace I would rather have seen on Barry guilt and relieve that he would finally make up for everything that happened, and yeah NOBODY cared about HR wtf I found the scene on the couh cute too but wrong, I don't know if you watch Grey's Anatomy but there is one episode where a main charatcer dies and all the other main charatcers start to laugh at his funeral and just can't stop laughing, this scene was emotionnal with a "let it all out" kind of vibe,whereas in the Flash it just seemed inappropriate. And I'm not a fan either of Barry's arc in S3, I just liked the fact that the consequences of his actions would come bite him in the ass xD But then again it wasn't that much delivered in a good way, even if I love Barry, he is one of my faves of the show but I think that your video shows wayyyy better what season 3 should have done, everything is just there, we see what Barry's choices caused to everyone, but at the same time how bad he feels about all this chaos, with the scenes of him begging, losing his friends...anyways enough ranting I'm sorry for that long comment xD Another masterpiece !!!

    • @turnonthelightvids
      @turnonthelightvids  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      AAAHHHH KENZA THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! The fact that you say my video shows what season 3 should have done means the world to me, thank youuuu x3 And yeah it was so bizarre, right? They’re just like, oh well we still have E2 Wells and there’s plenty more where he came from…lol. I haven’t watched Grey’s Anatomy, I’m only familiar with all the awesome quotes from it that get used in videos haha, but yeah that’s a good comparison. If they were going for a “let it all out” vibe it just didn’t work :/ I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one who found that WA scene a little inappropriate. (which made me sad because of how much I love them and how much I wanted to love that scene, but I just couldn’t). “I just liked the fact that the consequences of his actions would come bite him in the ass” AHAHA I’M DYING xD I totally agree! And you’re right, the delivery just wasn’t great even if there was potential. I think there were certain episodes that did a good job of showing these things, like 3x07 and 3x16 which probably made up half of my video, but they didn’t do a good job with being consistent throughout the season, particularly at the end. Anyway, I’m glad you feel the same way (and that you read my huge db xD) And btw feel free to rant whenever, I love reading endless comments haha

    This is a beautiful edit!
    Season 3 really poured on the guilt a bit thick, I think, only to back track and create double standards for what Barry cannot do and what The Reverse Flash and The Legends do all the time. If anyone has destroys lives, it's Eobard Thawne. And he never shows remorse or pays penance.
    But your video? Outstanding!

We are FINALLY getting our Barry from season one back! Last season I felt that Barry was turning into Oliver 2.0 loll All sad and always feeling guilty. I'm glad that he is finally overcoming all his guilt and being his old self again! Once again THIS IS AWESOME!! You really did a great job here!! :DD
