Hey Guys,
welcome to my nightmare the crossoverevent of the Flash and Arrow. This is the reason i wanted to be up to date with Arrow when i start the Flash. But yeah you all know that i am still in season 2. Of course i will also watch the Arrow part now, because it wouldn’t make sense to don’t to it. Even it doesn’t have exactaly something to do with the Flash episode. But we will come to that.
Barry negativ developement
I hate to say it, because i love Barry. He is so sweet and loveable but we saw it in the episode before that he is happy about problem in the relationship between Eddie and Iris and that is not a bad thing, but in this episode is active trying to make them break up. Activ is a little overstated. But he is stir up the conflict and i really dislike that. Also you all now i am not a big fan of the pair Barry x Iris. But later more to the Iris conflict.
The meeting with the Arrow is showing us another negativ developement from Barry. He feels superior. He has powers and nothing can do him something. He always get the job done. But the Arrow is right. Barry is fast and he has time to do it probably. But he don’t believe it is necessary.
Team Arrow
It is sweet to see Barry and his hero together and that gleam in his eyes. I love Felicity working with the other together again. Also Diggle is kinda funny. How doesn’t get over Barrys power. Also we see the conflict. Team Arrow is a dark thing. Oliver killed people to get what he wants and i also was his own methodes to get information. They are a darker version of the Flash Team. Oliver doesn’t see himself as a hero. He just do what must have done.
Barry and his team don’t go over body – excapt from Doctor Wells. They are the so much ligther version of the Arrow team. But Barry sees it different and i love him for that.
Barry underbad influencey
So the guy that can make people angry is fighting with Barry and Barry loses. He gets angry very angry. First he goes against Caitlin and hurt her with saying that she should stop doing like he is Ronnie. Caitlin is so sweet and Barry is the one that always can make her smile again. She doesn’t see Ronnie in him, but he is afraid of losing someone again. I am afraid Ronnie is still alive and not on the good side. The last scene i am pretty sure was Ronnie…
He also picks a fight with his Boss and Joe but the worst part is that he goes after Eddie. This result in two or three things. First of all Eddie can make a taskforce to go after the Flash. Second Iris is stopping believing in the Flash and tird Eddie and Iris are closer than ever.
I like that developement because it shows something. Something Barry tells in his anger. She never knew him, she never really understands him. I think that is true. Of course Barry is important to her and i think she sees him as her best friend and maybe even like a little brother. But she never says what is really inside him and that has for me more potental than anyother thing in there relationship.
Also the Arrow proves his point to Barry. Because he wins against Barry. Because he sees the whole and Barry just runs into it.
When friends visit
So Caitlin and Cisco are doing a short trip to Starling City to see the Arrow Cave. They are so much fun and i love them to interact with all the other team members. The met Roy for the first time and yeah i looked forward to it. Cisco win his heart over really fast. I love the faces Roy make in this episode. Also i love the team work between Roy and Oliver. So yeah it is much fun to watch this.
Differents between Arrow and the Flash
We see the dark version and the light version of the team. Oliver is right and wrong in the same time. The world is a dark place and all the people out there, you can’t reason with them. You just can’t, give it him the right to torture? No of course not. But Ollie is knowing this. He wills like everytime he trade for a piece of themself. This is one reason i think Felicity and Oliver should be together. But this is a different theme. Oliver lost so much and of course Barry lost his mother to. His life is not so dark like Olivers. It really seems like Cisco says it is like for them it is like a game and here it is reality.
The last episode the Arrow came to teach the Flash and this episode the Flash came to remind Arrow that there is more to him than Arrow. He has a team. He has friends and he is Oliver Queen. Oliver Queen can inspire people, he just needed to reminded that he could.
So in the end i have to say i love this crossover event and i hope we see the team interact and work together alot more times.
