That’s evident in his decision to ask Joe for further advice.īarry Allen actually began to rationalize! He may have pushed back with Iris, but he still heard her. He considered how betraying Nora was wrong. isn’t it's possible she did.ĭespite all that, Barry stepped up.
: Look, Barry, having Nora in our lives has made us better people. isn’t it's possible she did the same thing to Thawne. Look, Barry, having Nora in our lives has made us better people. His knee jerk reaction of tossing Nora back to the future can be supported by plenty of canonical residual trauma. His resistance to Nora working with Thawne, or even acknowledging Thawnes tactful plan against Cicada falls in line with who Barry is. It’s expected-watching your mother get murdered in front of you is bound to ceate baggage. There is no other person or thing (including Iris) that blinds him from rationality quite like the Reverse Flash. The subject matter heightens the emotional gravity and allows Patton and Gustin to keep showing out for their performances.Īs an individual, Barry did display a sizeable yet nuanced amount of growth in “Gone Rogue.”Įobard Thawne is Barry’s emotional trigger. The grey area of morality in the Thawne scenario allows West-Allen to work through an incredibly realistic difference of opinion. Her frustration at Barry for seeing the practical point of view is relatable-anyone who watches The Flash gets annoyed with Barry’s decision-making skills. He’s worried about her safety.Īt the same time, Iris blindly trusting Nora is exactly how a mother should respond. You saw him, you said he’s manipulating her. it’s not okay of her to work with Thawne. It’s understandable he would feel betrayed by his daughter and not want to participate in a plan Thawne has crafted.īarry: What? I thought we were past this. 
It’s easy to sympathize with Barry not wanting to trust Thawne. The best aspect of their angst-ridden dynamic is how neither of them is completely wrong in their opinions. Dark!Nora may not have been a sailing success, but it did provide yet another outstanding moment between Iris and Barry.
