The meltdowns over the "We're the Flash" line are pathetic. Characters can lie, betray and murder and they are given a pass every single time. Iris uses a metaphor and she deserves to die or get beaten up
I'm not too worried because she used to get more hate in s1. The producers didn't listen to the vocal haters back then I doubt they are going to listen to them now.
I have to say that I love that Westallen are involved with the big bad of the season. It works better for the show in my opinion. That's one of the reasons why I think Zoom was their weakest villain. He didn't have anything to do with Iris.
