The Flash S&S #18: Will Barry Save His Mother?
ϟThe Flash ϟ Barry Allen was just 11 years old when his mother was killed in a bizarre and terrifying incident and his father was falsely convicted of the murder. With his life changed forever by the tragedy, Barry was taken in and raised by Detective Joe West, the father of Barry’s best friend, Iris. Now, Barry has become a brilliant, driven and endearingly geeky CSI investigator, whose determination to uncover the truth about his mother’s strange death leads him to follow up on every unexplained urban legend and scientific advancement that comes along. ϟ CAST ϟ CREW ϟ UPCOMING EPISODES ϟ SEASON ONE NEWS/SPOILERS ϟ SET PHOTOS, CANDIDS, and VIDEOS ϟ PAST THREADS __________________

From last thread:

I know Cyborg is supposed to be in the DC movies and may not be "allowed" on TV, but the backstory description fits him perfectly. I'd love for him to be Wally West... but why would Wally be on the spinoff right from the start? He should start first on The Flash __________________

But I think it's Wally and not a pre-Cyborg Vic because of... Quote:

And since Iris and Barry's love predates adolescence, I don't think the sex part being out of the equation is that weird. __________________

Thanks for the new thread!
I feel like Iris was just so comfortable in her friendship with Barry after all these years and he never really said anything to her about his feelings so she never thought about him in that way. Once she was confronted by those feelings ep 15 showed that even though previously we didnt see it as her POV, she was in fact thinking about him and its very possible that she is just scared to give in to those feelings bc of "what if it ruins their bond" "what if it all goes bad??" There's a bunch of reasons why she doesnt want to acknowledge her feelings for Barry imo. __________________

I love Cyborg to bits, but I doubt we'll ever get him on TV. The same way we're not getting GL and Aquaman. Deadshot isn't anywhere near that big of a character so I doubt CW can even get the rights to do Cyborg. Deadshot was hands down my favorite Arrow character, so of course he died, lol. __________________

We're still on this? lol
To say that Barry nearly dying should have forced Iris to realize her feelings is to ignore the fact that she never had any reason to question the context of her love for him. How does one confront feelings that they never even recognized or thought of as romantic? It makes sense to me that it would take a combination of a confession from Barry and a near death experience for Iris to confront her feelings. That's hardly so many things. Quote:

Someone almost dies and that doesn't make you realize you're in love with them. In order to realize you love them, they have to confess their feelings to you. Then start dating someone else. Then the person they are dating needs to tell you how you feel about that person. Then your father's life has to be in danger. Then you have to think you're dying before you go, "Eureka! I'm in love." This is not real love to me. But we are different people. __________________

I know how you feel about the topic, i've read all the comments from the previous thread.. i just thought i'd add my two cents overall.. At the end of the day, perception is key. Not everyone sees love the same way.. __________________

Lol All those instances point to one thing, which is that Iris' feelings have been bury deep for a long time. Hence, why she has yet to accept said feelings. The writers using multiple scenarios to point this out throughout the season is merely their way of foreshadowing to the audience where the story is going. But if that isn't good enough for you or proof that it isn't real love, ok. Can't please everyone.
