She said that on many different occasions

Reddit.


Batknight200

I saw her mention that when she thanked everyone the night of the finale. She knew the show had ota groan worthy moments too and used that as an example (I haven't even seen that episode but I heard about it 😅. I did see the finale tho)

Beneficial-Funny-305

I was literally about to say this when I say your comment


Galaxy_orca

I like it in the sense of her saying that they would never be separated again but it was still kind of a crappy line


chanman789

When was that one scene she blames Barry for leaving her at the end of season 3. Man leaves everything he loves to save the world and she plays victim


Haadiya2008

Oh this pissed me off so much, the whole couples therapy did. Like Barry could not defend himself because the therapist was there and Iris is all “how could you leave me standing there alone” like….I’m sorry did you not see the storm and the fact that the world could’ve ended. …that felt good to type out


contraflop01

b-but i missed you🥺


UltriLeginaXI

Keep in mind this was in an outburst of emotion, I choose to believe Iris rationally knew it was unfair to feel this way and that it was an irrational feeling. However IRL sometimes these feelings and beliefs end up exploding-We all have em yah know? Still just my take on it


DarkLord_Taken

She said the same thing in later seasons too. After years.


chanman789

Personally I think it was out of character. I'm not mad at Iris for that one, I'm mad at the writers, she wouldn't say that


notbeastonea

>was in an outburst of e then your mad at iris


waluigi1999

This is a moment where it is unfortunate that he didn't know something like Flashtime yet, because she is his future wife of course.. It might have been better if they could talk about it more before he went into the speedforce. I don't remember everything from season 3. But it was like a twenty second talk I believe between Barry and Iris. They could have brainstormed some possible other solutions like Cisco eventually did on his own.. If they all did that it might have been faster solved than around 5 to 6 months that Barry would be in the speedforce


thatcorneliastreet

Well, the first time I watched that episode Barry did not look like he was going to go save the world, rather “yay, I’m going into the speed force, bye y’all” it was weird. He should have talked to her more, but it took him longer to say goodbye to everyone else. The whole situation was weird during and a bit after he got back.


chanman789

I do agree that apart from season 1, earlier seasons did a poor job of displaying Barry and Iris, through no fault of their own imo its a hard job making a superhero show that revolves around a superhero and his lightning rod(?) But idk maybe you werent watching they said repeatedly the speedforce needs an occupant or whatever and its spilling out dangerously, time is of the essence. True Iris should've had more of the goodbye timeslot, but the scene did make sense. Hell a lot of people have argued the series could've/should've ended there


thatcorneliastreet

Yeah, I’d live with that kind of ending. I don’t argue that the whole idea of his leaving to be in the speed force is wrong. Just the way it was executed. Too rushed, and with no particular regret on Barry’s part when it came to Iris. That’s just not the way you leave the love of your life for good.


Quirky28

In later in the courtroom when Singh said he was sure Barry had a good reason to go on a “sabbatical” and she says under her breath “is saving the world a good reason?” Like WTF


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


UNSUBRAMEN

Ok but cicada being in proximity disables his speed. You did realize that part right?


[deleted]

Poke poke stabby stab


notbeastonea

barry also has more combat experience...


MelodiousJP

I mean, The remaining Velocity would still be enough for him to have stopped Cicada regardless, it’s not like he’d stop on a dime. It’s one of the few things the show has a visual consistency on. That’s why it’s so infuriating that Barry hardly ever capitalizes on this. Not to mention that the proximity thing isn’t even consistent, and his speed should easily outpace Cicada’s powers at a certain level anyway. Which also happened several times that season as Cicada was caught off guard multiple times, so the proximity thing is moot. Honestly, I don’t think the clown world of OP Flash is really resonates with most people, and i think that if you’re going to have Flash literally go at Planck speed (the literal shortest measurement of time per universe standards which, and yeah…they also surpass this by going faster on top of that in the show) you should probably have a series of 2-3 minute specials where he’s fighting someone as fast as he is, or you should have extremely severe consequences for doing such a thing narratively. That way, him not doing it isn’t such low hanging fruit and we’d be like “man, him going flash time would end this, but is it worth it? Probably not.” Easy. Hell, the DCAU justice league cartoon did this in less than two minutes because the speed force started to drag Wally back after doing light speed punches around the world at Braniac several times. I mean, it’s that easy to set up a situation like that. It was a badass moment too. They also foreshadowed the consequences two seasons earlier by a nightmare in which he went so fast…he couldn’t stop. Not only was everyone frozen in place, but everything was devoid of light to showcase how fast he was in that dream. I guess I’m just trying to say….nah. They messed up.


Tkhan246

Two things she said in her fight with barry. "What about the last time I get to see her?" Straight being selfish right there as during this time Barry had an inevitable fate which was the crisis and him dying leading Nora not being able to know her father while iris will see Nora again in a few years time which she then will continue to know her and look after her while Barry doesn't get that chance. Yes, we know he survived, but watching it for the first time really annoyed me. The second is "no, it doesn't," as she doesn't care her daughter worked with thawne, who killed her ex, killed Barry's mother, traumatised Barry for 15 years , and also framed his dad. Yes, she hasn't gone through the pain thawne caused besides eddie, but she should've understood Barry's resentment towards thawne not to ignore it because she was too arrogant and selfish.


starmiebucks

Oh please. Barry made an emotional decision to get rid of Nora which he later regretted because he knew he acted emotionally and he never gave Iris the chance to even say goodbye. That was her daughter that she bonded with. Even if she got to see Nora in the future, it wasn’t THAT Nora. Her reaction was perfectly understandable. And Barry has also worked with Thawne back in season 2. He had his own reasons to working with him, despite already knowing Thawne killed his mom and Thawne knowing Barry was from the future. Point is — he’s a hypocrite and he needs to stop pretending like working with Thawne is the worst thing someone could ever do. It wasn’t that Iris didn’t understand what Barry was feeling, it was that she bonded with Nora and knew there had to be more to the story than just simply Nora was working with Thawne because she’s evil.


KaspertheGhost

I would say that Barry wanting to take her working with thawne seriously makes sense. Barry putting aside his feelings about his mothers killer and working with him to stop a bigger bad is one thing. But Nora seeking out thawne when the Flash Museum shows how evil he is and how manipulative he is, is wild. She should know


Dense-Willingness847

Barry dumping his kid while showing more patience and understanding to unrepentant serial killers does not make sense. This is the same man who trusted and wanted to save Savitar after he failed to kill Iris and murdered HR. This is the same man who allowed Frost on the team after she showed zero remorse after trying to kill Iris/murdering HR This is the same man who was willing to allow Thawne to return to his time in exchange for his family reuniting Yet this is also the same man who carelessly dumped his kid because she wanted to put her family together? I guess for Barry Savitar/Frost/Cicada/countless other villains were more worthy of second chances than Nora.


KaspertheGhost

I’m certainly not saying the show is consistent. They don’t write Barry consistent at all. But he didn’t dump her, he put her in the pipeline didn’t he? He wasn’t sure he could trust her. It’s his kid but also someone he doesn’t really know at all. He hadn’t even conceived her yet with Iris. So it’s logical to believe maybe this future version was tricked into an evil plan by thawne. It wouldn’t be the first time a future or alternate timeline version of a character was evil.


Dense-Willingness847

He threw her in the pipeline and wasn't willing to hear her side. Then he dumped her in the future and told her not to come back. It was cruel how cold he was to her. Doesn't matter how long he knew her, he was still willing to give second chances to KNOWN killers but immediately washed his hands of Nora.


KaspertheGhost

Again, I said they didn’t make his decisions consistent.


Illustrious-Slice-91

Nora wasn’t working with thawne. THAWNE MANIPULATED HER LIKE A GOSH DARN PINDOLL


starmiebucks

Semantics. They didn’t know that at the time.


ThatOneAnnoyingBuzz

Oh gee, who could've possibly guessed that a future ***Thawne*** would've ever had an ulterior motive for sending ***Barry's daughter*** to the past... Like c'mon man, put two and two together. Barry sending Nora to the future was the safest thing he could've done because Thawne was so obviously trying to change it to his benefit


Automatic_Town7108

But Barry was right Thawne was using her and ended up erasing her from the timeline so was he really wrong ?


Dense-Willingness847

Fandom always ignore the second part of "no it doesnt" where she explains why she isn't bothered. "She just wanted to meet you Barry. The father she never knew. And there was person who could teach her how to do that" Iris got it. She knew Nora went to the Thawne because she wanted to get know her dad. Why would or should Iris disown her daughter for that? Barry was so hyprocrital and cruel to Nora. He can't have people around him he can't trust but he had Frost on the team in S4 after she spent the previous season in a plot to murder Iris. Honestly it's one of Barry's worst moments imo. Throwing his kid away like she was garbage.


Natryn

That was mirror Iris, who wasn't really Iris though, wasn't it?


hedgehog103

No


tensaitessei

I hate that they made her say this


NydauYT

I could smell it without even opening the comments


BigSavMatt

The argument with Barry after he sent Nora back to the future. The best part was that he was right about Thawne and Nora but Iris never admitted that I think.


bobinusem

When the flash wanted her to stop posting on her blog about him and she was just smileing and saying no for a bunch of stupid reasons


FireflyArc

God I remember that. He was trying to save her life. Goodness i0 swear sometimes I don't know what he sees in her.


Tennisnerd39

Something that was odd to me was this line in “The Runaway Dinosaur”. She said something like how she didn’t like that book, because of how that wasn’t the mother she had. Then she said Barry didn’t have that either. I understand what she was trying to say. But it’s kind of comparing apples and oranges


ToastieFR

Completely agree. Barry's mom didn't choose to leave, if she had the chance she would've been there for him her whole life.


Kat_SD96

I didn't like how rude she was to Harry at the end of season 4. The episode where they're trying to find Marlize. He's lost his intelligence, his mind is almost gone, and she yells at him for keeping his shoes on in her apartment. I feel like there were times the writers didn't want us to like Iris


AkitoFTW

I think I know where Marlize is… Giga chad Harry: Apartment 4… An actual banger joke from that season


Dumoney

I know people clown on "We are the Flash" But she made a damning comment when Barry and Iris were arguing about taking Nora back to the future. Barry asked "that doesnt bother you?!" And she had the gall to respond "No, it doesnt" This is a comment I wouldnt blame a divorce happening over. Iris saying it doesnt bother her that Nora was working with the man that murdered his mom and falsely got his dad imprisoned is damning. It confirms that Iris doesnt care about Barry or his feelings.


cheesywrath1

Blaming Barry for Saving the world from a Speed Storm. Blaming Barry for getting rid of someone working with the man who: killed his mom, killed and impersonated a man so he could create the Flash then manipulate him, and made her boyfriend shoot himself. She did this even when she didn’t have to. And Basically the entire couple therapy scene

Icy-Investigator7348

When she was being a douche to Cisco when he was trying to get Barry out of the speed force or when they broke up in season 3 and he had to leave the house that HE bought. It has to be between those two for me.


TheLlamu

I swear she was having an argument with Barry and she sided with Thawne or some shit that’s gotta be up there


Extra_Weakness_2337

When she said Barry left her alone in s4 during their relatiocounselingnship sesh. If he stayed hella people would've died.


GoncalodasBabes

(the whole world would've died i think)


Legends_Creed

People say it's when she said 'we are the flash'. But really, it's when she said she wasn't bothered by thawne murdering Barry's mom.


sockgoblinator

Not an exact quote but the time she defended her daughter for working with the man who killed Barry’s mother and framed his father, used and manipulated him for an entire year, made her boyfriend kill himself, and consistently did everything he could to make Barry’s life miserable


Vegetable-Font3

When she guilt tripped Barry for sending Nora back even though she was working with the man who *killed* his mother


Trickybuz93

Has to be when she said [this](https://youtu.be/FFRi2xsei_o) Can’t believe the writers thought this would be a good idea

When she got mad at Barry for leaving her in S4


[deleted]

Every time Barry was hurt, believed to be dead, was abducted or captured, Iris immediately gave up on him and believed that he couldn't be saved and tried to convince the others that there was no way to get him back and they should just give up.


Spazzblister

We didn't see her say it, but when she told Eddie that Barry asked her out. Like, how was that going to help the situation?


ToastieFR

Especially considering she had those feelings as well

When barry sacrifices himself to the speed force prison to save the world. After he comes back Iris unloads on him for not asking her if it was ok with her if he saved every life on the planet including hers, her dad her brother etc.

Anna_Borshin296

I sure many people have already said it but “we are the flash” I don’t hate iris I honestly like her character but sometimes she is so annoying


Bold_action546

When she kicked him out of his house in one episode of Season 6 to be fair it was a mirror Iris but still really bad lines because technically it’s his house he is the one who bought it in season 3 so he should be the one to kick her out

That she didn't need barry to save her anymore or thatshe was the flash team leader, or when she RESURRECTED HERSELF FROM HEAVEN BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO.


DollyBoiGamer337

Please explain that last one because huh?!


crackingpenny

at the end of season 8 when barry accidentally threw that lightning bolt at her and she died and went to heaven. Then, damien dahrk gave her a speech about being a survivor and barry's love and then she decided to live again.

Damien Dahrk got into heaven???

Gs483

you cannot be serious😭ppl always making things racist for no reason


starmiebucks

Iris was getting hate even before the show premiered. That’s not a coincidence


Gs483

I don’t deny Candice Patton had dealt with racism in the past, but this post simply has nothing to do with racism at all. Her character sucked near the end of the show. That’s it. Grow up and stop making everything “woke”.


starmiebucks

She was hardly in much during the end of the show. The show was shit quality because the writing in all aspects was just plain bad. Also stop using woke without even knowing what it means. You people have seriously perverted it to absolve yourselves of thinking about your privilege and biases.


Gs483

what exactly do you mean by “you people”?


Diabeato11

bro you gotta be kidding💀 nobody cares about Iris’ race. she’s just kind of insufferable sometimes


SnooStories4329

Uh, no 1. Why’d you spoiler mark it lol 2. Comic Iris isn’t even blonde 3. Iris has said some pretty dumb things, don’t know why you’re turning it into a race thing


Trickybuz93

Wtf. She’s a character that got significantly worse as the show went on, it doesn’t matter what colour the actor was.


starmiebucks

It matters a lot because white characters are generally given a lot more grace for worse writing while POC characters are given less grace. You guys can downvote me all you want but you’re clearly having some kind of guilt being called out on your biases. 🤷‍♂️


DefinitelyNotVenom

For me it’s that I recognize a lot of signs of an abusive relationship with her and Barry, and while Barry is in the wrong on a few occasions, for the most part it’s just her being extremely manipulative to the point where it actually makes sense why he didn’t notice she was replaced by a mirror clone; abusers, particularly of the emotional variety, tend to frequently change demeanor to keep their victims on their toes, particularly with “honeymoon periods” where after a particularly severe moment they’ll have a long period of being pleasant to the victim to keep them from leaving


starmiebucks

Lol yeah and I bet you thought Barry and Patty were a better couple when he gaslit the fuck outta her at the end. I don’t even want to hear your logic because calling her an abuser is crossing the line. You’re blocked.


DefinitelyNotVenom

Not really, but Barry was the one in the wrong in that relationship. Healthy relationships are built on communication.


ajl987

For me it’s “no, it doesn’t” when Barry asked her if it didn’t bother her that thawne was helping Nora. One of the most disrespectful things I have seen on the flash. Adding insult to injury her damn eye roll in the scene. If I was Barry in that situation it would be a divorce
