Being dark is Arrow's job, Flash is supposed to contrast it being a lighthearted fun filled show.

As for Savitar's reveal, I never called it lazy. In fact if anything I actually prefer him being Future Flash. Before when he was the random "God of Speed" he was the one Flash villain that I didn't care for at all. But now he actually does seem like a fitting villain. The only complaint was they dangled Savitar's identity for far too long. It wasn't lazy, just trollish. It's supposed to dark, it needs to be more realistic. In the real world things aren't as easy as it is on the world of tv shows. Superman would be seen as a threat and Batman would had been dead long time ago or hunted by the Interpol or C.I.A or F.B.I. or I.C.C. What do you mean "it's supposed to be dark"? All that matters is entertainment value. If they can pull off being dark and entertaining, then they can go for it, like Netflix's Daredevil. But if by trying to be dark and melancholic they sacrifice the enjoyability of the show, then ratings drop and they dig themselves into a hole.
