So... I should be going to bed... or at least getting ready... but I'm gonna do this real quick XD I just finished The Flash season 2! And overall, I liked it. It was action packed, it was funny and light hearted, but still had pretty good depth to it, and it was just a fun ride of a show. However, there are still things that irk me about it (and the same could be said for most television shows anyway) and thats the... well... the lack of God, but I'll get to that a little later.
Let's talk about the things I liked first. My favorite character is Cisco just because he's the funniest and I get his jokes XD I think its so funny how he just has a little saying for everything and how he has to name all the meta humans XD He's a giant dork and its just fun to watch his character. He also makes the most funny faces, which I do, so I like that too.
I really like Joe too. He's the father figure that always has something wise to say, but also admits when he doesn't know what to do. He's pretty level headed and very consistent with his morals and values. The only thing I don't really like, is how he is a little too obsessed with keeping kis kids out of danger. Though, I get it, he's a parent, and thats what parents do, and he does learn to trust them more as the story goes on, but it becomes sort of annoying. And Harry is like that too with Jesse, just too overprotective and it just gets annoying really. But, those are minor things for his character.
I liked the crossover episode with Arrow and even though the Supergirl ep was on Supergirl, I also enjoyed that too.
Ok, its not that much later, but now to the things I don't like. And really, I started this because I wanted to talk about what I didn't like, because it really bothers me: the lack of God. Now the first season, I think, wasn't as bad, it seemed more... not as God-less I guess. But in this season, for some reason I felt it more. Probably cause Barry and everyone keeps having problems that I keep screaming at the TV "you just need Jesus!!". Cause I mean, come on. The first thing that I remember irking me, was how hell bent Patty was on getting revenge on Mardon. Oh, which reminds me that the characters keep blaming bad things on themselves when they had no control. Which annoys me cause if you believed that God has a reason for everything and that even if it was your fault, you can repent, then you'd be ok, well, more ok. And then the Speed Force... basically pulling a God card and being all alpha and omega. Come on. And then the second to last episode annoyed me because Barry was all optimistic and happy and everyone was trying to talk him out of not having any worries. It was a really weird ep. Every character talked to Barry and was all "aren't you a little too happy? you should not be this optimistic. Stop it" -_- I was annoyed. Because if you equate what Barry says about "the speed force being on their side and not Zoom's" to "God is on our side, we have no worries" it just irks me that everyone was all "yeah, don't have faith and be pessimistic". I'm paraphrasing here... but still. And then I got even more annoyed because in the lat two eps they talk about having peace andnot having peace about people dying. Which annoys me, because then they do stupid stuff. Well, by they I mean Barry. Barry does stupid stuff. But, if Barry just had Jesus, he'd be more at peace knowing that his life was in God's hands and that if those that died also had faith, then he'd see them again and there would be no need to be all emo and change the time line again. Geez Barry. XD Jk, But seriously. So many personal problems would be helped if everyone just had Jesus in theyz souls.
Yuuuupppp. And I'd get less annoyed at TV shows. XD Well, yeah, I know I made a big deal about what I didn't like, there was more, I just cant remember, though, but I think its important to not be so... Godless on TV. They even cut out most of what the pastor says at the funeral! Like seriously. Whats the point of having a pastor saying stuff, if they don't care and don't believe and don't even listen to him or give him anything Jesus-y to say. Tv shows and movies are so focused on being "politically correct" and putting blacks and latinos and lgbt people on (cause lets be honest, they don't even put asians on tv that much) that they forget that people watching want their religious views ans moral and beliefs represented too. I'm kind of going off a bit, but its still related. You hear that what we see on tv and in movies should represent the real world, that we have a multicultural world, therefore it should be on screen too, and I get that and I agree, but we also have religion in the world and why is it that its only represented in terrorists and stuff-- the bad ones? Rarely do you see straight up Christian characters. Why aren't we represented huh? Anyway, it just irks me, but I sorta doubt that its gonna change much.
Now, granted, I don't watch every tv show or movie out there and I'm sure I'm missing some good stuff that isn't so... scientific or new age or so politically correct, but as much as I like the Flash, I can't help but think its still missing something, or rather someone.
Ok, rant/not really a review is done and I'm going to bed! (Also, if it seemed like I'm angry or something in this, I'm not... just passionate XD and a bit tired and loopy )
