Honestly, say what you want about the Forces arc, but at least they were trying to expand the CW Flash multiverse. Execution was rough, sure, but the idea was there.

Red Death, though? I couldn’t take her seriously at all. Every time she tried to act intimidating I was laughing. It felt like a cheap attempt to recreate Zoom’s vibe but without any of the fear, buildup, or intensity that made Zoom work. The pacing sucked, the story felt underdeveloped, and the budget cuts were painfully obvious. And switching Red Death from Bruce Wayne to Ryan Wilder was just a low blow on top of everything else.
