自从粒子加速器爆炸后的两季以来，闪电团队已经对抗过了逆闪、极速等一系列威胁中城的超能力犯罪者。然而，他们真得和巴里·艾伦本人有得一拼吗?

　　在第二季季终里，他再次证明了：一旦他不达目的、誓不罢休时，没人是安全的。巴里再次穿回过去，而且这次确实救了生母、改变了历史，全然不顾这会对他爱的人和世界造成多大的后果。

　　这很像第一季季终巴里创造了一个虫洞使逆闪得以返回他自己的时代，但巴里也多了穿回拯救其母的选择。然而他当时只是与生母对视告别而没有改变历史，但他的行动确实造成了一个不仅威胁城市的黑洞，还打通了到地球-2的缺口，这完全导致了劲敌极速的恐怖来袭。

　　就是这个意思，如果巴里没有试图在第一季季终妄想拯救其母，所有这些来自地球-2的麻烦本来都可以避免。他手上已经沾了不少鲜血了，包括他亲爹的。当然，这还是不足以阻止他再次尝试穿越改变历史。

　　在这个争议里，挑巴里的边站太容易了。他年幼丧母如今又丧父。他有能力救父母，而且他也想救他们。然而，这样很不负责任。

　　巴里明明知道擅自改变过去的后果，不止一次了。但他就是不肯放手。他反而去争取自认为的个人美好结局，即便这意味着失去他长久以来构筑的和乔、艾瑞丝的羁绊。

　　这两人如同家人一般陪他成长，而且巴里和艾瑞丝在第二季季终再次互传了爱意。然而，他还是决定不顾抹消这一切的可能性而去救他的麻麻。

　　即便你想去理解和接受这个决定，但有时你真的很难不把巴里视作一个任性的“恶棍”。这皆因他总认为自己做的是正确的决定，但事态却不断恶化。

　　现在第三季开始趋向于“闪点”故事线的引入和改编，他终将了解到自己至今的“罪孽”如此之大。巴里，也许你能挽救你的母亲，但你也完全会重置我们已知的世界。

　　至少，现在巴里故事中的闪电侠还很年轻，所以他有足够的时间去接受他的命运并成长为漫画世界中大家熟悉、爱戴的极速英雄。但丑话还是要说在前面。巴里啊，是时候开始做出不任性的决定了。

　　For two seasons the team on “The Flash” has fought Reverse Flash , Zoom and a long list of metahumans and criminals that have done nothing but terrorize Central City ever since the particle accelerator exploded. Are any of those worse than Barry Allen himself, though?In the Season 2 finale, he proved once again that truly nobody was safe when it came to going after what he wants. Once again Barry ran back in time to save his mother from being killed — going through with it this time — with little care for what ramifications it would have on those he loved or the world at large.This is a lot like the Season 1 finale where Barry creates a wormhole to allow Reverse Flash to return to his own time, because it gives Barry the option to go back and save his mom. While he doesn’t in that moment, his actions do create a black hole that not only threatens to tear the city apart, but opens a breach to Earth-2, which is the cause of all of the terror Zoom rained down.That’s right, if not for Barry trying to save his mom in Season 1, all of the Earth-2 troubles could have been avoided. That’s a lot of blood on his hands — including his own father’s. Of course, that didn’t stop him from trying it yet again and following through this time.It’s easy to see Barry’s side of the argument. He lost his mom at a young age and now his dad. He has the ability to save one of them and wanted to do so. However, it’s irresponsible.Barry knows what can happen if you alter the past. He’s seen it first-hand. That doesn’t stop him, though. Instead he goes for what he thinks will give him the best personal ending — even if it means losing the relationships he’s forged with Joe and Iris.These two were his family growing up, and Barry and Iris admitted their love for each other once again in the finale. Still, he decided to potentially erase that — and a multitude of other things — to save his mom.It’s a decision you want to be able to understand and accept, but it’s hard to look at Barry and not see him as the villain of the story sometimes. All too often he thinks he’s making the right decision and things are just going to get worse as a result.Now with the show potentially adapting the “Flashpoint” storyline for Season 3, chances are he’s going to learn just how massive his sins are thus far. You might save your mom Barry, but it’s entirely possible you’ll also unmake the world as we know it.At the very least, this is early in Barry’s story as the Flash, so he has plenty of time to take his lumps now and grow to be the scarlet speedster the comic book world knows and loves. First thing’s first though, Barry. Time to start making smarter decisions.
