conulyFor a musical, that Flash/Supergirl crossover wasn't very, um, musical.
Too straightforward, not enough singing, took its kinda inane plot way too seriously, and I'm extremely frustrated by the fact that apparently we suffered through an entire season of pointless relationship drama on two series just so Music Meister could save the day in the most obnoxious way possible. (And why does everybody believe him when he says stuff!?) Plus, this crossover has made it abundantly clear to me that in fact, I really ship Barry/Kara, which kinda ruins the whole moral and plot point, doesn't it?
But at least everybody can actually sing. I could listen to them all day... just in another episode. One with a better plot.

I like them together, too. I don't want to come between Barry and Iris, who seems like a lovely -- and very attractive, um, hello -- girl (though also criminally underused by The Flash? From what I have seen in a show I don't watch?), but I'm simply observing that Barry
(1) is supportive of Kara,
(2) actually listens to Kara, and
(3) has never been anything but completely honest with Kara.
(1) - (3) being so much more than can be said about Mon-El. I mean, if these showrunners are so thirsty for a white dude to be with Kara, they could at least chose one who's established as both trusting and trustworthy with Kara.

Date: 2017-03-23 05:47 pm (UTC)Ahem, sorry for the ancient sci-fi show tangent --if Barry and Iris trust and respect each other, I'm good. Though I seem to recall tumblr posts about Barry messing up on that front with Iris?

And, unfortunately, Barry has picked up on both these attitudes and run with them. Like, at one point his big surprise gift to Iris was... a new apartment. Like, don't you think she might want a say on which apartment you jointly rent, Barry? And all through Season 1 he kept flirting with her as The Flash. When a girl says she wants you to back off, she means your alter-ego too!
(And now that I've said all that, their relationship is even creepier, because Joe is a blatant Iris/Barry shipper. And he really does influence his kids a lot. Ew.)
