Arrowverse Finally Admits Its Biggest Team Flash Problem
Warning: Spoilers for The Flash season 8, episode 14
During the fight with Blockbuster, The Flash acknowledged Team Flash’s biggest problem. Despite being led by the Fastest Man Alive, Team Flash has endured numerous defeats over the course of the series. The show added to the list when they fought Blockbuster in The Flash season 8, episode 14, titled “Funeral for a Friend.”

Their failure was later attributed to the tragic loss of Frost (Caitlin Panabaker), whose death had devastated the entire team. But in the end, the group persevered through their problems and subdued Blockbuster offscreen.
