Ultimately, any decision to use the character lies with the writers. The viewer has no responsibility to the character or a hand in its writing. It is possible Flash could improve with additional exposure, but (1) that is patently wishful thinking, (2) that does not excuse his ignoble debut, and (3) that is not going to change anyone's mind.

Flash had a chance, and it was blown on Brad tropes and a subpar romance plot that went nowhere. Many of us did have low expectations, but you must understand that he proceeded to meet them out of the gate. He was dead on arrival. He wasted our time.

Any attempts at improvement (or damage control if you prefer) require the expenditure of even more time. However, he has already demonstrated he is not worth our time. Therefore, that time is better used among other characters that don't stink of cooties and AXE products.

I don't care that he's bland. I care that he's been around long enough to have improved (and arguably he has!), and yet people like you are still white-knighting about his initial cold reception.
