Character That Needs Work: Iris West

Character That Needs Work: Iris West has really been a tough sell. Where the writing for Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawne was multifaceted, Iris was written as one-diminsional and came off as whiny and self-involved. It didn't help that she was kept in the dark about her friend for far too long, but in general, the writing for her has been shaky. When she had the chance to stand on her own with her job at Central City Picture News, she was again force to rely on The Flash to stay ahead. We're hoping her character is given direction and purpose in The Flash Season 2, as well as a chance to do something other than prop up a boyfriend, father, surrogate brother or The Flash.
