Barry: gets powers: minor angst about danger, then: Awesome, new superhero!
Wally: gets powers: minor angst about danger, then: Awesome, new superhero!
Cisco: gets powers just like his evil twin from the alternate Earth: Awesome, new superhero!
Caitlynn: gets powers just like her evil twin from the alternate Earth: FUCK NO, POWERS MAKE YOU EVIL!
NOBODY else among the main characters has had a personality change due to their powers. Nobody. They are the same person, just faster/more psychic. Why is it that the GIRL--the only female major character to get superpowers--is going to go psycho if she uses her powers? We have spent SO MUCH TIME this season angsting about how POWER MAKES HER EVIL, SO SHE BETTER SUPPRESS HER POWER! AND SHE CAN'T DO IT BY HERSELF, SHE NEEDS THE GUYS TO SUPPRESS HER POWER!
This show generally does a decent job with women, so this is such a slap in the face.
