      Seriously Eric Wallace was like hey Tom this is your angry character
      But the fans remember him as a cold calculating sociopath who barely snapped, which is what made him snapping so memorable
      Nah be angry
      People don’t bring it up because they wrote Harry Wells out of the show but season 2 Harry vs season 4 Harry had instances where they almost followed this pattern.

      depends on what you're talking about, in the show he's a horrible villain and only really comes back to kill barry 24/7 instead of just trying to do as much damage as possible

    Zoom is easily the best villain in my opinion. He had all the mystery of the Reverse Flash along with the Menace that came from being highly intelligent but he was far more ruthless and brutal, having zero problem murdering anyone whenever he felt like it.
    Plus the black eyes, the demonic suit, Tony Todd's voice really made you believe he was something inhuman.

In past, you knew that evil speedster could have kill everyone on the room. And everyone had his special thing. Thawne with his vibrations. Zoom with time remnants. Savitar with blades. Now, everyone just throw lightning at each other. Everyone gets plot armor, even NPCs.

    Cobalt Blue had potential in my opinion. The rivalry he has with Barry was practically there, since of course he is Eddie, and the concept of the NSF choosing him makes perfect sense.
    but as mentioned the structure of the season, and lack of proper development just ruined the character

    • @NeonWafflez707
      @NeonWafflez707 ปีที่แล้ว +39

      Well yes he had so much potential. People have been wanting him to show up as Eddie for years. But the fact that they had a shorter season and STILL decided to do two arcs and like 4 episodes of filler really ruined what the character could have been. I would have loved if we had an episode to focus on each speedster villain he brought back instead of them being effortlessly defeated by all of the side characters, while Barry gets his ass kicked by an inexperienced speedster.

      Best of all, he appeared as the main villain of the last Arrowverse crossover with Oliver Queen.
      He had great plans, motivations, powers and all. And he was defeated properly as well. Im glad they put him in 3.

    @AJ-bg6ko ปีที่แล้ว +23

    I recently watched the first 2 seasons and Zoom is just so much more interesting than I even remember. I'd completely forgotten how much he parallels Barry and how much he pushes Barry's development over the course of the season. Season 1 Thawne was the best villain, but as an antagonistic force I think Zoom is unrivalled, the way he makes Barry suffer and grow over the course of the season, and even by the end he's broken enough to create Flashpoint. But what's even more interesting is the subtle things, like the difference between Hunter and Zoom. Zoom is a monster, he's not a man, he's an unstoppable force, but Hunter is very much a man, and I love how quickly you see his insanity when he takes off the mask. As soon as he starts talking you're like "oh wow this guy is just a maniac", but he's stuck as that little boy that watched his dad murder his mom, that's why he needs to be the monster. He's just like Barry, except different circumstances in Barry's life saved him from becoming Hunter, instead Barry is stuck as that little boy who's mother was murdered, and thats why he needs to be the hero. All of this culminating in Barry using Zoom's signature move, the ability he used to "play hero", and being an actual hero, sacrificing himself to save the multiverse.

    I'd say that out of all of them, Zoom is my favourite villain. I don't know how to word it but RF to me is more like an "antagonist" and not a villain, like he doesn't compare to Zoom's ruthlessness/brutality when I look back at Seasons 1 & 2.
    Sure RF was definitely a 'bad guy' but he had clear motives for why he ended up doing what he does, Zoom on the other hand was (as described in S9) a junkie who didn't care who got in his way to get the speed he so desperately wanted. RF was more meticulous and cunning in comparison.

    I think Cicada was one of the most wasted potential for a villain since he started off REALLY strong and intimidating with just murdering people. And his ability to cancel powers wouldve been really interesting as Barry had grown reliant on his powers. But they just completely threw it away by having Caitlyn be immune and just make him useless so Barry could beat him up.

    • @theneoreformationist
      @theneoreformationist 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would say the opposite. The character had no potential, due to the nature of his powers. In any conflict, there's only two reasonable options:
      1. Cicada takes everyone's powers and murders them all. (Way too overpowered)
      2. Cicada looses his dagger and cannot possibly win against team flash without it. (Way too underpowered)
      Either of those wouldn't make for a full season villain, so instead every conflict was just interrupted by the winning side making some stupid mistake and letting the loser get away. There was no good way they could have written this. All of the previous villains were powerful, but had actual reasons for not just killing Barry.
      Grace as Cicada 2 would have been a much better season villain, as she didn't need to rely on a ridiculously overpowered dagger to pose a threat. Her motivation for being a killer also works better than Orlin. He's just upset and wants to lash out, but she is a child growing up her whole life believing metas are evil, and even kills her father for accepting them!

    I disagree on Savitar. To me, he's one of the most poorly written villains in the entire Arrowverse. His entire backstory revolves around Team Flash shunning him, which is complete character assassination as I'm sure Team Flash wouldn't shut him out because he's a time remanent of Barry. I found his goals throughout the season to be very inconsistent. There are moments when it seems like he's set sights on killing Barry in the first half of the season, but his grand plan is to make him suffer by killing Iris. Then there's him wanting Tracy Brand dead, but later decides to use her speed force bazooka as the key to his plans. He doesn't seem to make up his mind. Also now that I'm thinking back, Savitar's pretty incompetent as a villain. He sends Frost to do errands against Team Flash when there's no reason he can just get the job done more efficiently himself. This plays in to how HR of all people saved Iris and foiled Savitar's endgame. So it makes Savitar a complete idiot.

He could’ve just located Brand, speed run in and kill her before Barry, Cisco and HR could get there in time. Another example is when HR freed Iris in Savitar s lair, Savitar had the chance to catch them in a second. But he just sends Frost, which wasted valuable time and gave HR the opening to save Iris.

    Now that the show has ended you should do a full ranking video for the 9 seasons. Your Arrowverse rankings are really nostalgic.

    Cobalt blue was DEFINITELY better than mirror Monarch. I get that they screwed up by not giving him enough time and I would agree that he would be way higher if they gave him more time.
    But mirror monarch also had some weird pacing issues (granted that’s due to COVID)
    I would also take cobalt blue over cicada, I mean there wasn’t really anything there for cicada.
    I definitely see why you’d put deathstorm over him but I don’t know if I would agree I would say cobalt blue and deathstorm are about equal.

    Great points made about Thawne being overused. All I could think of is that his back must be hurting from carrying that show all those years.
    Red Death was an absolute mess. My Idea is that it should've been a multiversal version of S1 Oliver, who became more brutal after his version of the Glades(and tried to steal Barry's speed to be more effective).
    I liked Cobalt Blue, and I think the whole season should've been about him. Blue bringing back all the speedsters was cool, but waisted. It should've been a more experienced Flash taking them all down(as opposed to team flash helping).

    I think maybe they could have made red death better if he was like bloodwork but Reverse flash before he helped Barry against Godspeed and he was just negative speed force went into bloodwork and he became red death with Reverse flash helping him in his mind so he has all of reverse flash knowledge of how to use the negative speed force kind of like firestorm with Jefferson and Martin but blood work is like Jefferson and reverse flash is like martin

    Thawne’s always at his best when he’s being absolutely petty.
    Also, I think Savitar’s suit looks better when it’s CGI than when it’s practical.

    When you were talking about how there was a gender twist for Mirror Monarch, but Mirror Master is a different villain than Mirror Monarch. Mirror Master does also make a few appearances in the CW show.

    You know what would've been a good episode?
    If in the speedforce villain arc, they made the flash and friends lose their power and they dedicate one episode without superpowers just their own smarts and they create their own speedforce kinda like what reverse flash did.
    I havent watched the flash so i m not sure if they did it, but im pretty sure they wouldnt cuz the producers would think "what? An episode without superpowers? That'd be boring"
