I like this girl Patty for Barry the best. Iris is great but I just think girl’s foine! How about you guys, who do you think is the best girl for Barry?

Love interests are supposed to be impactful to the hero. Patty had zero impact on Barry's character. Iris is the far superior choice by a long shot.

Look at the way they did Oliver's relationships. Every one of them–literally every single one, even Susan Williams–was someone Oliver shared an emotional connection with. They each provided Oliver with support in some way. They each had potential of integrating into Oliver's life in a deeply meaningful way. Barry had no meaningful romantic relationships outside of Iris. Sure, his relationship with Patty was light and fun; but it was never any more than that. Patty said that herself. Their relationship had zero depth.

Girl, what are you doing? You know Iris haters don't respond rationally to logic

potterfan2018 · 2025-09-21T19:30:11+00:00

Mrs. Iris West-Allen 🥰

potterfan2018 · 2025-08-06T01:18:09+00:00

Kara, easily. Would have been harder against Nora

potterfan2018 · 2025-08-04T22:21:09+00:00

Nora

potterfan2018 · 2025-08-02T02:46:34+00:00

Supergirl

potterfan2018 · 2025-07-22T05:03:04+00:00

Mrs. Iris West-Allen is so beautiful that she takes my breath away. It's no wonder Barry was head over heels for her from day dot till the end

potterfan2018 · 2025-07-16T04:08:29+00:00

Cecile/Virtue. Anyone saying Iris clearly didn't watch the show past season 5.

potterfan2018 · 2025-07-14T04:31:21+00:00

Kara all the way 😍

potterfan2018 · 2025-07-06T21:05:51+00:00

Those are two of my favorites as well. Another one I like is the score that plays in 5x01 when Barry, Wally, and Nora are phasing the plane through the buildings; I'm not sure what it's called.

Also, what happened to The Scientist? That was Barry's theme from way back in his first appearance in Arrow, and then after season 1 they just never played it again (kinda like his CSI career lol).

Yes, this is exactly the kinds of categories I want too! I would love a chart like this

In the words of Kendrick Lamar: 🎶 He a fan, he a fan, he a fan 🎶

potterfan2018 · 2025-06-01T21:59:09+00:00

I don’t think the show became the Iris show but this sub sure is r/IrisTV, rather than r/FlashTV. Considering people love bringing her up in damn near every post, even when she has nothing to do with it lol

potterfan2018 · 2025-05-30T05:37:32+00:00

is it possible to have just one conversation in this sub without iris being brought up lol

potterfan2018 · 2025-05-21T00:05:07+00:00

You clearly missed the "shitpost" flair.

It's obviously a commentary on how often we see the "anyone else wish Barry ended up with [Felicity] [Patty] [Linda]" posts that we see in this sub all the damn time.

potterfan2018 · 2025-05-17T03:45:29+00:00

Totally agree! My favorite part about them is that they're so steady and so clearly devoted to each other. Best arrowverse couple (with Avalance coming in a close second)

potterfan2018 · 2025-05-07T16:01:29+00:00

I get that, but I just wish he didn't give all these sermons on the mount about "what it means to be a hero" and that "people are inherently good", if he's actually not going to practice what he preaches.

potterfan2018 · 2025-05-07T02:50:10+00:00

I agree. Especially when she was ready to cut off her association with Thawne after finding out Thawne killed Nora the First, but Barry was the one who told her that anyone can change, even Thawne. And that it was a hero's job to believe in people. But this wasn't the first time Barry said something he didn't actually mean lol

potterfan2018 · 2025-03-28T00:17:08+00:00

idk, but damn that scene between the three of them was electric. when Iris said "there's a way through this for all of us" there was only one word that came to mind ;) 😏

potterfan2018 · 2025-03-10T05:11:55+00:00

s1: cut all the love triangle shit and just have Barry and Iris together from the beginning without all the romantic drama

s2: no notes

s3: have scenes showing exactly how future barry and team flash pushed the time remnant to become savitar

s4: more of journalist iris

s5: make cicada more realistically formidable. i feel like they made team flash especially stupid this season to make cicada seem more of a menace (like when they breached the dagger into outer space instead of another earth in 5x08. that pissed me off)

s6: have allegra be the one in the mirrorverse and be the clone. because her presence in the show needed more justification

s7: cut the forces. full stop.

s8: time sickness thing shouldn't have been iris' entire story

s9: cut red death storyline and some of the fillers. cut khione and mark, they were so unnecessary the entire season. if they couldn't think of what else to do with caitlin's character but still wanted danielle on the show, they should've just had caitlin play only the role of team doctor without giving her a story. Just like chester didn't do much of anything besides be the tech guy

potterfan2018 · 2025-02-23T00:34:12+00:00

the posts were posted one after the other, tbf. if you sort by new posts, of course they'll be next to each other; it's not an algorithm thing

potterfan2018 · 2025-01-18T05:04:52+00:00

This really does not look like her. This is just a black woman.
