Godspeed should have been a season villain


He just looked so damn cool, the costume all white and gold, and the name is bad ass as fuck, definitely a million times better than Cicada. I've heard people talk about him from the comics like he was a big deal, but here they just made him a freak of the week that was taken care of in one episode.

He just looked and felt too damn cool to be a bad guy of the week.

You are not wrong. You know who else should have been season long villains? Or at the very least half season long villains. Captain Cold, Trickster, Mirror Master, Clock king, and Killer Frost.

Killer Frost is a fantastic DC villain, I royally hate what this show has done with her. End of Season 2, Caitlin should have went full on villain and never come back. It's like the writers were heading there, chickened out, and couldn't pull the trigger. A decision that will forever make me angry.

Also Gorilla Grodd believe it or not is actually a very cool villain in the comics/cartoons. However on this show they basically reduced him to a stupid CGI King Kong wannabe. I hate their version of Grodd.

It's a show for children, they will never go full adult on any of the characters.

Oh go away it's a show for children. If it were a show for children then put the show on Nickelodeon. Wait never mind Nickelodeon has darker content. CW is not a children's network (it's teen/young adult).

yeah, way better than the Jiminy Cricket dude.

I'm not as enamored by him, but I thought it was pretty weird for him to be a throwaway villain when every single speedster they've ever faced has been the villain of the season. I mean, we can't even escape Thawn seasons later.
