What do think of his character development so far?
What do think of CW Barry's development.
What development?
This. If anything he's gotten worse and worse always crying for emotional support
He needs to hear "accept the things I cannot change,Courage to change the things I can,And wisdom to know the difference."
It was going well in Season 1 and the first half of Season 2. He was becoming more mature, competent and confident. Then it all came crashing down after the Speed Force episode, culminating in the show negating all that development. Sigh.
Well, most character development is a line, Barrys is a circle.
Seriously just take the last few episodes. "I accept my mothers death." "My dad died!" "Need to save my mom in the past, who I have gotten over twice now!"
Thing is if he has of done what he did last season finale. It would have made sense. To do it now doesn't make a whole lotta sense, but at least it's building towards something big. I'm still excited to see where it goes. He's written as needing a lot of support because the writers don't know how to make the other characters interesting unless they are supporting the main hero. They need to look towards shows like Buffy, Angel, Dr. Who, etc where the main hero could stand on their own, but they had good relationships with their supporting characters.

This. I absolutely hated what happened at the end of the finale. He literally destroyed everything. Not only was he being a huge hypocrite considering the decision his friends decided to make, he KNEW TOO WELL what would happen if he did what he did, now he is screwing over everything, he literally just came back from the speed force, finally understanding everything, then he literally abandons all the principals the speed force taught him, all the development he went through just because his father died, not that its not a bad thing, but if you could ultimately move past your mother's death, and use that to protect your friends and family why risk everyone else by trying to change the present AGAIN after what happened last time you did that? Even if you got the desired affect,(your father not being dead) you could risk changing everything which includes the multi-verse which was affected by your actions in the past and present. Barry is familiar with all of this yet risked everything. That's ultimately what i hated about this episode, it made everything that happened before pointless, it made Barry's fight against Zoom pointless. He was finally developing into such an amazing character, but this episode really took a few thousand steps back to where we started.
