History YMMV / TheFlash2014S3E8Invasion

* InternetBackdraft: Many fans chaffed at the Legends getting on Barry's case for changing time, since they have their own fair share of screw ups in that area as well (Stein nearly prevented his own marriage after all). Sara in particular comes off as hypocritical by saying she has to resist the temptation to change things to save Laurel when she in fact gave into that temptation twice and was only stopped by the forceful intervention of her teammates.

** The Legends never mention that Barry's nemesis Eobard Thawne is the ArcVillain of ''Legends'' Season 2, which they should have easily figured out after finding out that they're facing a speedster and that Barry caused "Flashpoint". They generally don't even try to discuss with Barry about the possible identity of their speedster nemesis.

** Quick shot of Dr. Harrison "Harry" Wells and Jesse Wells/Jesse Quick and Star Labs, after taking down their Dominators. They think about Earth-1; "Nah, WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong?"

** Team Flash never addresses that Black Siren/Earth-2 Laurel Lance is still locked up in the pipeline which should have been mentioned since they are teaming up with not only Team Arrow but also Sara Lance. Then also because of the episode addressing the bad side of keeping secrets while they are still keeping her a secret.

** Iris and Joe's MyBelovedSmother treatment of Wally and trying to keep him out of loop also didn't go over with some viewers. Some empathize with thei concerns while others were quick to point out the DoubleStandard in their [[NotNowKiddo treatment of Wally.]]

** Nate and Amaya not appearing. While it makes sense for someone to look after the Waverider, it would have been awesome for them to team up with Oliver and Barry when the other heroes were under MindControl.
** Kara contacting Clark and having Superman himself help the others would also have been awesome.
*** Or that "Vigilante" her cousin teamed up with.
** The Legends never mention that Barry's nemesis Eobard Thawne is the ArcVillain of ''Legends'' Season 2, which they should have easily figured out after finding out that they're facing a speedster and that Barry caused "Flashpoint".

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Cisco, in continuation from the last episode. Some don't agree with his {{jerkass}} behavior and how he ends up making the team question Barry as a leader because of his insistence that he tell them about the secret message[[note]]Especially considering other characters also knew and didn't tell, and it's not Barry's secret or team[[/note]], and believe he should just forgive Barry already. Others feel it is realistic for him to still be angry at Barry over Dante.

** Savitar and Alchemy appear to have no interest in protecting Earth. They could have teamed up with the heroes on a temporary basis. Savitar'a absolute mastery of the Speed Force could have really helped.

** Jay Garrick/The Flash has been watching over Barry. Shows up, but unable to stay.

** Quick shot of Dr. Harrison "Harry" Wells and Jesse Wells/Jesse Quick and Star Labs, after taking down their Dominators. They think about Earth-1; "Nah, WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong?"

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Cisco in this episode as some don't agree with his jerkass behavior and how he ends up making the team question Barry as a leader because of his insistence that he tell them about the secret message and that he should just forgive Barry already, while others feel it is realistic for him to still be angry at Barry over Dante.
* BrokenBase: Bringing the consequences of "Flashpoint" into the mix. Some fans are happy that Barry's dirty laundry has been aired to all his friends and allies (especially John learning he had a daughter) while others are annoyed how Barry's mistakes are being brought up all the time now, that [[{{Hypocrite}} the Legends are in no position to criticize him]] and feel like it's a distraction from moving forward.

** Cisco telling Felicity that it doesn't matter how bad Barry feels for Dante's death it's not going to change things and that Barry shouldn't be held up on pedestal since he can make mistakes like everyone else. Every character blowing up in Barry's face also counts.
** In a similar vein Oliver telling Barry that not every little thing that happened in Flashpoint is his fault by mentioning Season 2's events and how his own father died in a similar vein to his origin also helps those who feel Cisco is beating Barry up too much with how his changes have 'ruined' everyone else's lives when it's possible those events may have still happened just later.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Those who were hoping that Barry would meet J'onn or that Wally (who has a BigDamnHeroes moment) would join the team up as Kid Flash are going to be disappointed.
** Nate and Amaya not appearing. While it makes sense for someone to look after the Waverider, it would have been awesome for them to team-up up with Oliver and Barry when the other heroes were under MindControl.
** Also, Kara contacting Clark and have Superman himself help the others would also have been awesome.
** Martin Stein never mentions that Barry's nemesis Eobard Thawne is the ArcVillain of Legends Of Tomorrow season 2,which he[Stein] should have easily pieced together after finding out about "Flashpoint".

* EvenBetterSequel: To last year's crossover since this one doesn't have the baggage of being a PoorlyDisguisedPilot.
