* Iris in ''Series/TheFlash2014'' is put on a pedestal by everyone who knows her, especially Barry. The problem is that they really shouldn't. Even after Barry reveals his feelings for her, and learns they are mutual, she refuses to dump her current boyfriend, Eddie. While this is not bad in itself, she maintains this even after learning she and Barry are destined to be HappilyMarried. She and Eddie decide ScrewDestiny in a manner that makes it seem she's more interested in her happiness than Barry's. She also chewed everyone out for not telling her Barry is the Flash in a very entitled way, despite the fact that she really wouldn't have been that helpful. Finally, she discovers from the mother she thought was dead that [[spoiler:she has a brother]]. Iris angrily tells her to never speak to her again. Her mother is dying and is desperate to reconcile and Iris is basically stabbing her in the heart for something she was going to talk to her about anyway, yet treating it like a betrayal. And despite being angry about not learning Barry is the Flash, [[{{Hypocrite}} she chooses not to tell them what she learned until Christmas]]. Her response to Cold's FreudianExcuse about a rough childhood, namely everyone in the room had a rough childhood and should get over it, is hollow when you remember that, aside from thinking her mom was dead, she had the most normal childhood of all the people in the room.
This entry either twists or demonises most of the facts that are involved. Yes, Iris did realise that Barry's feelings for her are mutual, but she understood that in a timeline that Barry canceled with time travel. When in the new time travel Barry tried to talk about it, from her perspective it looked Barry was hitting on her out of nowhere knowing perfectly well that she has a boyfriend. The entry about destiny is a little more valid, but aside from the fact that the newspaper didn't tell they will be happy, only that they will be married, the entry says that she's unsympathetic for not chosing Barry over Eddie just because some newspaper from the future told her to. When she learned about Barry being Flash, she did not say that she could be usefull, but that keeping her in dark did not keep her safe at all, on the contrary, it made her unprepared for any potential threats. Episode 3 od season 2 proved she was right, as knowing Barry is the Flash saved her life. When she was talking with Captain Cold she wasn't just talking about herself, but also about Barry whose mmother have been murderded and and father was wrongly accused for that murder, which wasn't exacly easy childhood, and that's ignoring the fact that losing mother isn't exacly nice so she's still right. The only valid part of this entry seemes to be about reuniting with her mother.
