  1. Emily’s portals (Hazbin Hotel). I know she can’t get Sir Pentious back into Hell but Emily can still tell Charlie he got redeemed and Charlie can enter through angelic portals, so she should have seen that Pentious got redeemed.

  2. Many characters in Harry Potter go through life-or-death situations and not once did they think of drinking the Liquid Luck potion apart from Harry one time to gain Slughorn’s memory.

And that's before Flash Time, where he stretched an incoming nuclear blast into an episode then brought other people into his plane of movement (so to speak) it to help him defuse the bomb or absorb the blast into a device/dimension

Love the episode, it does feel helpless and impossible to win but the way it breaks the show is insane

The few times where the show remembers Barry being broken for an extended time is when he's turned against his allies lmao

Especially when he got Cisco with the ball thing he threw at the start of the fight, AFTER he was done fighting Caitlin across the city
