Except like I said the third gen Flash who was built on the tragedy and sacrifice of Barry Allen (and fueled by the constant reminder of it) . That was great! ....Right!?
The irony that Wally's thread is titled "The Flash Is Not About Tragedy" just emphasizes the BS of the mantra.
Or did the character find strength and meaning in the tragedy and sacrifice?
Yes he did! That and the tragedy is a part of the character, it helped define him.
Now I'm asking, show me a scene of this upbringing that defined Barry? Or a line of dialogue where he references it.
