User blog comment:Gifist8/Why the last season of flash was lackluster/@comment-27339108-20170723172622

Maybe they did so for those of us who haven't read all the comics and actually played the flash outside with friends. Maybe they did so because they have to appeal to a bigger crowd when airing on prime time. Maybe they want to get everybody (literally everybody) into the story, comic book nerds and high school rich bitches alike. If they would've done an exact copy of the comics, there wouldn't have been any interest, because people then could just buy all the comics, read them and be done with it, at least now I get to watch an episode every week on my couch with my girlfriend, who before me never watched anything like this, and she's actually excited. Win-win for me :-)
