I really don't understand the dismal ratings this comic-book based film has received. I thought it was a lot of fun with good acting and excellent special effects. In my view Madame Web was just as good as any of the Tobey Maquire Spider-Man films. Although a few plot holes might be pointed out the story was still very interesting. Johnson and Sweeney in particular played against "type" by keeping their clothes on. And, in their roles, Johnson as a paramedic and Sweeney with her pals as older adolescents, were believable. It is really unfortunate that poor reception prevented production of future films of these female heroes.

While the series is outstanding this episode has a ludicrous premise. The victim championed a legislative initiative to ban handguns, because guns are evil. A fictitious handgun manufacturer is presented as the opponent to this "reasonable" project, as if it is the company's fault because a criminal uses a gun. The CEO of the handgun manufacturer predicts that Initiative 38 would fail because of polling data. What the screenwriter totally avoided mentioning is that Initiative 38 would be deemed unconstitutional. In the real world such efforts by the Left have been sued by the NRA and courts have upheld the second amendment. If the episode had been written to reflect reality then Crews would have championed the second amendment.

I am new to watching Flash and I really enjoyed the first season. Second season I have difficulty with the decisions of some characters. It's really obvious that the script of the episode "Versus Zoom" was written by a Leftist who doesn't comprehend risk analysis. In this episode Barry/Flash is willing to surrender his Speed Force in order to rescue Wally who has been kidnapped by Zoom. Yes, it's a moral dilemma, which would not have happened if Barry had not insisted on opening a breach to Earth-2. He wants to be the grand savior of Earth-2. What about all the countries on this planet that are ruled by ruthless dictators who murder thousands? Does Flash care about the tyranny that exists on Earth-1. NO! The stupid, moronic plot solution is to allow a known sociopathic serial murderer to have more value than the population of Earth-1 that supposedly needs the Flash. Remember "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one?" So the story can only go downhill.
