Two things I wanna see happen.

1. Keep the goggles. it looked cool, didn't have anything to do with the suit going wonky. Maybe give that HUD tech to Oliver, it would make more sense.

2. Make Wally a priority. He's a legacy character who should have his own arc. Keynian's a great actor, and they should take more advantage of him. Have him have an arc about his college life, give him his own mentor, have him become famous and see what it leads to having fans who would kill to meet him. Just please don't put him on Legends, this is the Flash, and for a lot of people...Wally West IS the Flash. He is not The Flash, he is Kid Flash. He may be The Flash in the comics, but this is after Barry s death  This show is supossed to be about Barry Allen, not about Wally.West. You sound almost like ImperiexSeed  by saying that Wally should be the main character. (I personally have not interacted with him much and do not want to offend him, it is just that his obsession with Wally was really annoying) He could have a spin off?  The show HAS followed many story plots from the comics, but with their own little twists on it so they can easily tie it back to the main cast. That's why Savitar was a future Barry instead of the actual first speedster, and why Wally was Iris's little brother instead of her nephew (which is probably for the better, cause I don't know you, but a 10-year-old shouldn't be running around, beating up crooks).

Speaking of Wally, I'm not saying that he needs to put on the suit right now (maybe one day, the show IS called "The Flash", not "Barry Allen")., but he should be a priority. We should be able to continue seeing him grow as a character. The team's already been heavily streamlined down to pretty much how we started off, but with fewer Wells and more Wests. They shouldn't stunt his character growth at this point. Wally went from a rebel-ish kid who did what he had to do - to someone working to figure what he could be, post his mom - to discovering out what that is - to discovering the responsibilities that come with it - to now. He wanted to be considered like Barry from Joe and Iris and ended up hating him for it. He longed to be a speedster because of his love of speed and wanting to be a hero. He endured loss after seeing his mom die for what must've been an eternity in the Speed Force. Wally's arc has been thrown under the rug and been seen as nothing more as someone who's just "there". He has a compelling backstory and he's gone through trials. He was faster than Barry before he (Barry) left, and that's for a reason.

All I'm trying to say is that the character has been built up slowly over the last two years, and it shouldn't stop here. There's more than enough potential to him other than who's faster: him or Barry?

ALSO: Little fun idea, what if instead of making him the Flash, they give him his Rebirth/Titans suit and call him Impulse? It be a nice little change plus would fit his personality.

Yes, the show is called The Flash, but is about Barry Allen. I mean, in the comics Eobard Thawne -archenemy of Barry Allen. Hunter Zolomon- archenemy of Wally West, Edward Clariss-archenemy of Jay Garrick. In the show- Eobard Thawne-archenemy of Barry Allen, Hunter Zolomon-archenemy of Barry Allen, Edward Clariss- he was the achenemy of Wally, but only in the Flashpoint timeline and Wally was never a match for him, so he was not a serious threat for The Rival, while Barry was, and considering Wally does not even remember the Flashpoint timeline, he was more of an enemy to Barry to Wally. This show is specifically about Barry Allen, not about Wally West, Jay Garrick or Bart Allen.
