Can The Flash wrap up nine seasons of multiverse spanning superhero adventures in a satisfying way?
Its the end of an era. After the better part of a decade on air The Flash season 9 currently set to go into production this Fall and premiere in early 2023 will mark the shows end. Its hard to imagine what a superhero television landscape will look like without this show which has helped shape so many that came after it thanks to its huge heart bright tone and empathetic storytelling.
With just 13 episodes, The Flash season 9 may have limited room to run but that also means The CW’s flagship superhero property can still go out on its own terms with a story that showcases just what this series has always done so well. Here are a few things we definitely need to see and some we know are not exactly likely but we’re still hoping for anyway in The Flashs final season.The Flash has always excelled at being the most lighthearted entry in the Arrowverse, both literally and figuratively speaking. Its a show thats at its best when its telling stories about silly over the top villains and problems that can be solved by simple lessons about love and friendship. Much like Barry Allen himself the best thing about The Flash is its boundless heart. But recent seasons have occasionally gotten bogged down in heavy handed stories about rewriting reality or random humans being forced to become vessels to poorly defined anthropomorphic nature gods.
The Flash season 9 needs to get back to basics Some entertaining low stakes adventures with a return to the characters rogues gallery one of the best in all superhero fiction and stories that tell us something we did not know about the characters we care about or give their relationships with each other more depth. I have given up on understanding how the Forces of Nature work or what Iris time sickness even was exactly so heres hoping we spend the series final episodes just doubling down on the sort of stories that remind us why we all loved this show so much in the first palace.
