- In this video I discuss Speedsters you know em you love em and they are an integral addition to any superhero movie or show. Speedsters are also capable of being stand alone subjects to movies and or shows. There's a lot of em and each one is unique, about as unique as you can get with a group of individuals who just run fast. Whether they’re running just fast enough to run on water or they’re running fast enough to travel through time. Their speeds, what they can do with their speed and how effective said speed is varies from speedster to speedster. Nonetheless they’re all powerful mutants, genetically modified humans, or experiment accidents. What I want to do is take you through a journey, a journey that explores a couple of these speedsters and their impact on superhero culture and their impact on me. Also were going to mention their memorable scenes.

Thanks man 🤞🏾

Bro who doesn't know quicksilver isn't Magneto's son? Come on!
I am waiting for the day that a speedster gets their leg broken only to reveal that they can walk on their hands just as fast
prob not just as fast but certainly even on their hands they should still be the fastest superheroes.
One word "Wheelchair" .. burning rubber.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@DirkDiggler334 If you are reacting so fast that time seems to stop around you then even a crawling Speedster would be way faster than anyone else.
Now time for if their body gets destroy but they be like, my speed is so much i can retain my consciousness together Particle by particle , causes time to dilute resulting in revival of body as time moves backwards
I actually love the character A-Train, he's a unique hybrid of what if a speedster character was treated as a professional athlete. And forced to constantly prove themselves to remain relevant. You get to see his hunger and desperation to remain at the top and that's why he's one of the most interesting and unique speedster characters to me. Also his running sound is the most satisfying
I couldn’t agree more, also couldn’t have said it better.
Train sounds for a-train. Very cool detail
I like that his heart is a drawback, creative.
I agree@@darksideofevil13
I love how this nerd says he'd get turned off by a girl wanting to fuck em 💀😂 that part was funny
In defense of red rush, they didn't know what was happening. He wasn't trying to kill him, omni man just wasn't playing
I get that but at the same time he was complaining about how a short convo feels like an eternity, so I was hoping he would've used all that time to think of a plan.
So in tandem he uses that time to think to incapacitate
Then just dies because the time to incapacitate or kill is the time to figure out what's wrong for omni man
@@DirkDiggler334could be hyperbole
@@DirkDiggler334To be fair, Omni-Man it’s fair to assume that a bloodlusted, several thousand years old, experienced, world conquering, super being that can fly fast enough to ignite a planet’s atmosphere could catch a “fast guy” off-guard.
TL:DR, Red Rush messed up, Omni-Man didn’t.
when u said the reverse flash was the biggest troll, all i could think about is the "remeber when u were making out with iris" scene. really good video
😂😂😂
In regards to Red Rush's scene with his girl. I know a lot of people are saying he called taking to her agony and had to talk his way out of it.
But what I liked is that he didn't leave when she was talking, he ran off in the middle of HIS sentence after she was done talking. I think on some level he did like hearing her voice. Which makes his death sadder.
the slow motion perception that speedsters use such as A train isn't a result of him moving really fast, just his brain processes being so much faster than a normal human's. it doesn't matter how fast he goes to need to do the speedster perception thing
Ah I see thanks for letting me know
@@DirkDiggler334what the commenter above said also explains why Superman is not a speedster but can perceive the flash
@@mmmkkkyla gotcha
Yeah and for many speedsters this still works, when they stand
F.e. Quicksilver was just standing in front of the explosion but time was still moving slowly
@SlimthickmodelsBatman can’t see bullets lol
There was a moment in the more recent comics where Quicksilver’s mental limiters were removed by his sister in a type of cross, and he ran so fast that he couldn’t be tracked beyond dimensions and he was moving while time is completely stopped. This level of speed is inaccessible to him normally though.
God I love that, Making my favorite speedster even faster. And that sounds far beyond what he is normally capable of.
Excuse me what? Because someone needs to tell Barry Allen about this.
@@lolstalgic9602I’m pretty sure flash has better feats than that like running so fast he existed outside of time all together defeating death
@@adrianarredondo5568 Yes and no. While I agree Flash is still likely faster, he never truly beat Death itself in a 1v1. He simply ran so far into the future where death had no domain since all life had since been gone
@@lolstalgic9602 exactly therefor he defeated death, I'm not saying he actually 1 2 punched him but he did defeat death by going so fast he was able to exist where death wasnt. He defeated him in that sense because death was after him
To be fair, Red Rush doesn’t experience life in slow motion like other superheroes who can either trigger it, or just so hyper it FEELS like they’re in slow motion.
Red Rush quite LITERALLY experiences time in milliseconds. It isn’t toggable. It’s constant.
That would absolutely suck
That would also make him one of the oldest heroes :)
@@DirkDiggler334 And also means when Omniman LET HIM GO AFTER HE HAD GRABBED HIS ARM, red rush had like years to move out of the way but was like "nah I wanna die anyway."
@@thunderspark1536 man Red Rush made no sense 🤦🏾♂️
@@DirkDiggler334 Maybe he was suicidal idk.
Although it’s short I love Eternals scene with Icarus. They showed how fast Marki can be and she didn’t even have to touch him. Small, but great shot!
I have to say, that I HATE what they did to the character of Makari, originally Jack Kirby made that character male, but Hollywood wanted to be more inclusive and change it. I don't like that, if it isn't broke don't fix it! Just sayin'.
@@michaelkantner6420Whats the problem exactly?
@@michaelkantner6420 Ancient One was also made female, why no problem with that?
@@michaelkantner6420I don't think makari is iconic enough for it to matter and at least in the movie being female wasn't an incredibly important part of her character
@@kachowabunga17i mean true but keep characters consistent with their original, race and gender swapping characters is exhausting.
If I was Red Rush I would be purely support. Take that save with the Immortal, now I’m doing that the whole fight. Keep the others alive. Keep them alive and they’re wearing him down.
Yes absolutely, that would've have been the only plan where they had a chance.
I would imagine omniman punch the ground hard to disoriented the whole team and then uses flight to take the guardian out except for maybe immortal cause he also can fly, can't run if there are no ground (at least momentarily)
@@yeahboyz9314 thing is in one scene against the warrior gal he TANKS A HIT FROM OMNIMAN and blocks it to protect his friend, so why he didn't do this this more confuses me.
If I could choose a superpower it would definitely be superspeed. And the durability that you would need to actually use it without getting liquified.
I agree and people be forgetting that another power these speedsters must have is super durability.
@@DirkDiggler334
And super endurance!
Although, that could be another way to add limiters to speedsters.
Like, because of that they have to do bursts instead of constant running, and they have to use it sparingly and tactfully, otherwise they'd end up burning their energy away. Which means most of the time they can just be a normal dude, and they have to weigh the risks and the value of the problem if it absolutely requires their speed.
Plus, it's a good source of tension for story purposes.
Yeah and if you move super fast anything, even flies or water drops would be like bullets
So you’d end like MCU Quicksilver
@@DirkDiggler334if you actually stopped time, you’d need so many other abilities to even perceive the world because light needs to move and bounce so you can see, let-alone selectively put things back in motion when trying to get a free kill via stabbing and stuff
It’s kinda crazy what powers people say they want without thinking about all the extra stuff they’ll need to the point they’re thinking about a different ability altogether
speedsters just chugging olive oil before their fights for the calories lmao@@jocosesonata
Red rush was amazing because he was shown to be what a speedster is really limited to and how they can be used as a useful character even if they aren’t over the top busted like the flash but regardless he was a victim of plot, because he would be too useful. He would have escaped Omni-man and told the world that he slaughtered the GotG and a whole spiral of events would happen.
That's exactly what I wanted him to do, thats what I would've done, id know I can't beat omni man I might as well flee to regroup.
Yeah plot was the only downfall if he was somehow able to push Immortal out of the way (at least in the show. i don't know how it went down in the comic), but failed to dodge getting his domepiece Nutcrackered while on high alert? And I don't wanna hear about "He was in shock and thus disadvantaged", if he could pull the move in exhibit A unprompted in the first place. Like yeah I understand sometimes characters need to lose a few brain cells for popular tropes to happen and Because Movie/Game/Book or what have you, but that's just how we like it, I suppose. Villains winning is made possible only when the heroes really stop thinking, in some instances.
@@viscountrainbows2857in the comics they all died in one panel. Barley damage omni man. The show did it way better
Victim of plot. I don't think red rush could do anything to omni man but there is NO WAY omni man solos red rush without prep. Even if red rush makes the "mistakes" he made Omni man CANNOT catch him it's just impossible. Red Rush reacts infinitely faster to omni man than omni man reacts to him. Red rush has plenty of time to see that hand grabbing him it's not even a threat.
If your gonna name Michael Fassbender than you can’t call sir Ian McKellen, Gandalf himself “that old guy”
I know, that was very disrespectful on my part, I apologize
While I love the Quicksilver scenes, Makkari is my favourite Speedster Live Action or Animated, just love the scene of her searching the earth for Tiamut and then the scene where she punches Ikaris two dozen or so times 💜
Agreed, Makkari in Eternals was a great representation of super speed in my opinion, and there were no parts of slow motion like with almost every other speedster, which made it more unique
Makari my fav live action speedster
Was searching for this comment
The Reverse Flash is too goated 😭
Faxxx
@@DirkDiggler334 Easily my favorite villain in fiction. I just love the pettiness. I kind of hope he gets his own movie or miniseries in the DCU. It could be amazning.
@@kingvidster5637 couldn’t agree more
😂 Nah fam yeen seen flashpoint
Truth is red rush had probably the ultimate weakness of any speedster, writers wanted him to lose 😂
Facts!!! 😂 how unfortunate
At least he didn't stop to talk 😉
You should maybe talk about sonic since he is also a speedster and also Ben 10 because some of his aliens have super speed as well so I would probably include those two.
yep most definetly
@@DirkDiggler334So maybe we'll get a Part 2 video? 😏
@@Seetiyan yessir
sonic is the king of speedsters literally but only when he transforms into hyper
@@adnan_honest_jihadist5775 sorry but that's the flash
I like Savitar's running. Like in his POV when he runs it seems slow but he is going very fast unlike the other Speedsters who u can see are running fast.
I wish you would've included *Rainbow Dash,* because for a magical technicolor pegasus, she's actually pretty deep. Having ADHD, she often struggles between her loyalty to her friends and what's important to them Vs her own ambitions to be a fastest flyer/top athlete/Wonderbolt. Beneath her cocky attitude and "rule of cool" lifestyle, she's actually pretty self-conscious and has a desperate need to feel appreciated. In fact, her entire character can be described as always wanting to go fast, but constantly having to slow down.
Also, she's fast AF, able to go warp speed 8, slow down time to a crawl, and even travel to the past and create a paradox
No way your expecting him to yap about *checks notes* My Little Pony? I had to look ts up
@@Lorddream01 MLP is awesome and deserves respect !
@@Lorddream01 I mean why not a speedster is a speedster. I never even noticed it myself but this goofy ah pony has the speed to rival the flash, plus she can fly.
Johnny Quick had a very nice portrayal in the recent Justice League Crisis on Infinite Earths animated movie. While he was a member of the Crime Syndicate he was constantly shown to have a bit of remorse and he sacrificed himself knowing that Flash can't return to his universe because they were both tapping into the speed force which made them slower.
I agree, that version was also great. But you have to wonder if things wouldn't have turned out differently if he wasn't already injured and if he knew how to vibrate to different dimensions. Then we might have said goodbye to Barry earlier ...
I rewatched Crisis on Two Earths yesterday and Quicks ending ... wow. Not only great because of his characterization but also because he notes that Batman knew this would lead to Johnny's death (and Batmans simply didn't want Flash to go for that reason, which Barry of course would have done even knowing the consequences).
I'm actually a big fan of the Quicksilver from Age of Ultron, since he's a lot more like the comic character. I just wish they hadn't wasted him so awfully.
I also love Makkari. The Eternals sucked, but that was the coolest looking speedster we ever got.
The whole time stopping jazz is nice, but she's the only one that just moves really fast and looks dope doing it.
Im starting to agree
Nice video! Eobard is one messed up individual. I think he took over Ezra Miller in our timeline ngl😅
Thanks, and I agree
Thank you for that new Head-Canon :)
Love that movie for not giving us less Ezra, but actually two, later even three of them. I think Warner Bros. missed an opportunity in the second Aquaman by not replacing every actor with Amber Heard ..
The “old guy” and bro is talking about SIR Ian McKellen 😭😭😭
fitting here, the old guy being canonically Peter and Wandas Father ..
That whole X Family Tree is more like a blackberry bush.
I mean the great Gandalf 😭😭
A speedster video without Sonic is crazy
bro fr why isnt he here??
WHY IS MAKARI NOT BEING MENTIONED, imo she was the best showcase of speed from a speedster. i love the quicksilver scenes in xmen i do think theyre the best scenes of a speedster because it was so cool but showcasing speed by slow motion all the time doesnt really give us a great perspective of how fast these speedsters really are.
Ulrich from Code Lyoko might unironically be the most balanced speedster I've seen. He's fast, but not "break time and space" fast, he techniaclly doesn't have speed react since everything on Lyoko is quick enough to dodge lasers, and his speed is limited because (while not explicitly explained) it uses up a sort of MP meter that all Lyoko abilities are tied to (since it's a video game/digital world).
If nothing else, he actually has a speedster vs speedster fight that actually makes sense. It's really cool.
Never actually heard of Ulrich but I’m happy you’re putting me on.
@@DirkDiggler334 It's a French-made show that aired on CN back in the early 2000's. It's kinda obscure, so I'm not surprised. All the episodes are on youtube if you wanna check it out.
In the event you try the show out and don't like and decided to drop it, you should at least watch his speedster vs speedster fight, which in ep 51.
@@sterlingburton5107 Got it ill check it out
If he can dodge lasers, he obviously has speed react.
Code lyoko 😢
This is absolutely amazing keep up the great work can’t wait to see more 🔥!
Thank You!
I love your energy and I appreciate how much energy you put into this video, you and whoever helped.
Thank you!
5:32 I fucking love Johnny he means the world to me but I love the orange hair design instead of the comic design but glad that the new movie with Johnny kept the accent
The accent is a must!
that A-train running through robin scene is god tier
Those quicksilver scenes are easily my favorite out of any of the X-men movies and I feel like they are so underrated, killer video brotha keep it up!!!
Quicksilver scenes are everything but underrated. lol, the scenes are good but Fanbois glaze on it too much
I want a speedster focused series that shows how op they are until they get bored. Just like one punch man
I was just thinking last night about how in Teen Titans they introduced Mas y Menos who were speedster twins who had the unique weakness of needing to make physical contact in some way to recharge their speed.
I'm honestly surprised more people haven't used them in the comics
If I were a Red rush i would take all my team one by one out of this place, it would be so much smarter, but he didnt know the future, so maybe was thinkin Omniman is under hypnosis or something
Thats exactly what I would do too
Yeah, it was probably not a good idea to show him relocating people at the start, so we know he can do that. Without that you could argue he saw no other way to save his friends than fighting Omni-Man and even with his speed he couldn't have run out and informed people without some of the Guardians dying while he talked.
But i honestly still think the ending is ok. You can assume that even in the brutal Invincible-universe, where ordinary people get ripped apart by villains constantly, this was an event Red Rush never expected and so he didn't think clear. And Red Rush was ultimately the first victim. He might have reacted differently if Omni-Man already killed one of them, showing that he's definitly not holding back. Also it won't be the last time the show had a battle where people made bad decisions for different reasons.
Yet it would still have been better if Omni-Man went after Red Rush first, knowing his abilities would allow him to escape, and/or create a situation where Red Rush only saw one option, thus falling for a trap.
Great video. For me the speedster run and fight scene from "Eternals" was really great in that is showed her speed from an outside pov but it still felt like insane superspeed. Really loved that
Imagine if A-Train just moved to the side a small bit and then thats it for The Boys
This video is definitely gonna blow up
What I love about Quicksilver is that he isn’t some broken cosmic reality breaker like the flash, he’s just a speedster and that’s it. He’s plain and simple and that’s all he needs to be, his speed doesn’t break reality so he feels a lot more grounded compared to the usual dc speed force shenanigans
Nah his powerset literally contradicts his whole thing about not destroying the environment if he moves too fast, he is kinda lame in the comics Marvel treated Speedsters like a fcking joke for so many years, idk where did u find that grounded part, but he Marvel gave him too op power boosts in the comics without any reasonable explanation to his powers also he really has very bad comics.... as of now he is so fast that he can do dimension hopping as well as break reality, he doesn't have any aura like The Flash but somehow he doesn't vaporize everything but there is no literal or plausible explanation how he does it. So the concept of Speedforce is way more creative than getting Speed powers from a gene.
Wish you talked about Makkari from Eternals. That's the best live action speedster for me. They didn't use slow motion to show her speed and when we see her running it's so cool
I definitely gotta do a part 2, I’ll touch on her
@@DirkDiggler334 thanks. I appreciate it. You should talk about XLR8 from Ben 10 as well

An absolute menace
Just for future reference, I've been here since the channel had 3.12K subscribers.
Red Rush could've keep doing what he was doing at first during the fight against Ominiman which was preventing the others of being hit by Ominiman. This way they would've had a chance against Ominiman
I completely agree
Probably obvious by the pfp but my favorite speedster is Sonic. Surprised he wasn't mentioned, as he's easily one of/if not the most iconic speedster next to Flash. Hopefully you talk about him in a part 2, especially the movie version.
Thanks for this amazing take on speedsters. I agree with everything. The boys shows the human side of hero’s including our mistakes greed, lust, power, and pride. The X-men quick silver just did an amazing job of showing off those abilities and how awesome they can be along with some great tunes. Let’s be honest tho if he tried to play music while moving that fast wouldn’t the song be slowed down to point of it not being worth listening to lol.
Yes! thats the one thing I learned after uploading this video, someone else commented that and once you hear that you can't not think abt it every time you see those scenes. Thanks for the comment
All of these characters are great in their own way! A-Train is the human side, Quicksliver is redemption in the comics, Merkari is just badass and relatable, and then The Flash which in my opinion the most influential speedster who embodies the definition of a superhero are all of them superheroes yes and they all are great but The Flash shows what it is like to be a hero and how being a hero can destroy someone mental health and forget about living in the moment can’t say much about Red Rush and then there’s the Reverse Flash which Diggler you explain amazingly!! Keep it up
Thank You!
There’s also the New 52 Reverse Flash, Daniel West but I loved how you phrased your words and thanks a lot for talking about comic Hunter Zolomon! I appreciate this video a lot, I’ll definitely be sharing it!

@@DirkDiggler334 No problem!
It is a CRIME to put Minato, my favorite character in fiction, on the thumbnail, without talking about him 😭
No fast character will ever outrun The Quickster.

After this video I'm conviced that Thawne controls absolutely everything. Dude is pretty much the personification of determinism, combined with being the biggest simp to ever live, of course.
Boy you said it! Agreed
good video, good structure, interestingly presentet. thats a like and follow from me
Speedster is my go-to Power I Want. I bike & skate & jog in a city & love the speed & awareness to surroundings you have to be. Flying is cool but its so freeing of the interactivity with the world an adrenaline-junky like me has. Nothing like speeding by with a big-ass bus right next to you.
And i have ADHD so it already pairs nicely
Your videos are amazing.
Thank you that means a lot!
W video bro u mad underrated
Thanks a lot!!!
Quicksilver mutant scenes is one of the best scenes done right for every speedster movie I have watched so far.
Personally find it the worst. It focuses too much on time in a bottle instead of showcasing the rush of speed
Great list, I'm throwing in Flora from I'm a Virgo. Loved her story and how the speed of sound is too slow for her ♥️
21:58 those are Air Force 1s and how could you forget the absolute BEST portrayal of a live action speedster. MAKKARI! From The Eternals. Cmon man
I know I know I messed up on both ends 😩
Love this
Thank you bro I appreciate it!
The best reverse flash moment is when i went back in time and made Barry have a awkwart moment with his first girlfriend if you know what i mean :).
I know its not real but the fact that you could actually believe he would do something like that still makes it funny.
Also If Red Rush talking with his girlfriend takes hours how does he not see omnimans slow hand moving towards him. Lastly why does he stand still while hitting him, bro is just starring at Omniman for minutes in his slowed down time. No Omni man isnt as fast as Red rush because if he was then he wouldnt almost have lost to those zombie robots, he would instantly have delt with them.
That scene where kimiko knocks down A-Train is one of the few actually realistic scenes of a speedster getting defeated, he didn’t see her and so couldn’t react to something he couldn’t see coming. Meanwhile jean grey can suddenly move stuff atleast 20x as fast as a bullet.
When the Incredibles came out it was Next level animation and still stands up today for me 💯 has everything from Spy Story to soap opera family stuff next door neighbour Kid 🤣 and history of Superheros and what happened ❤ I think it's a perfect film
till the end i was waiting for barry or wally but still a great video
That same scene caught my attention and made me a fan of this series, it definitely caught me off guard
Hey I just wanted to say that in the end where you wanted quicksilver to get some praise from the people that he saved just saved remember time for speedsters is relative he may have just stood in front of that kid for what we perceived as a couple of seconds but that kid didn't even see him because Quicksilver was in front of him for more than a nanosecond they have no way of knowing who saved them and none of them have seen him before and besides no one has seen a mutant like mystique before where their mutation is a full body thing and she wasn't wearing any clothes, but it really does show just how fast he was cause even beast didn't know who saved them untill quicksilver made him self known
okay I see that, ngl it'd be hard for me to not demand at least a thank you, I probably would've said something. But I guess quicksilver is way more humble than me and doesn't care about people praising him.
Good vid bro
Thank you so much 🙏🏾
so we not gonna talk about the goat of all speedsters sonic the got damn hedgehog
Don't worry i'm abt to drop a pt 2 soon and I plan to
In a part 2, could you talk about Straight Cougar from S-Cry-Ed? Good video. Love speedsters myself. ⚡
Now hear me out. Quicksilver is another name for mercury. Mercury is another name for Hermes. Hermes is the god of thieves (which Quicksilver is introduced as). And thieves typically aren't noticed (if they're any good). So I can buy him just saving everyone, then letting himself fade into the crowd while they focus on the blue girl
😂😂😂 damn that’s creative, so did he run their pockets while saving them too?
Also officially hermes is the god of speed
Hey bro love the video! But you can put subtitles in the next ones? I’m from Brazil and I’m starting to learn some English so it’s a little hard to me to understand completely the video without the subtitles, love!!!
17:05 i wasn't expecting you to say you're dipping 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a character in my books named after the Norse god Ratatoskr, and in my books, he's a speedster. He is able to outrun teleportation and is so small that he's commonly unseen. Literallly 6.5 inches tall. A squirrel. All you see is a brown streak with a blue streak as he runs somewhere, though he's able to "turn that off" with focus. For stealth, ofc.
That sounds cool and different, nice!
What are the books called?
@@stormichow5325 The Village of Higher Beings and The New World. TNW is my new one.
You’re worthy a sub❤️💯
Thank you, I appreciate it you're awesome
In defense of Red Rush 😂, I genuinely feel the moment was so confusing for everyone there, everyone was in shock even us the audience as to why would Omni man attack these guys, and secondly yes it was dumb to try and fight Omni man knowing well he had no super strength or invulnerability but Dashing away and leaving your friends to die also seems dumb to me, perhaps he couldve atleast tried to save some of them by fast travelling them to the nearest save point available.
Also I have to say “Destroy the glass” at 20:49 feels so weird to me 😂😂, I never noticed that my mind always Associates glass with breaking so this was a new experience, absolute bomb of a countdown, Kudos Dirk.👏🏽
Since a lot of footage for the Reverse-Flash for this video came from the animated Flashpoint Paradox-movie i can say that i really love his depiction in that movie. Him taunting Barry because it wasn't actually Reverse who fucked up the timestream, but Barry himself is great. He enjoys his superiority so much, which makes sense considering his relationship with the Flash.
His following appearance in Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay was also great.
>Video with minato on the thumbnail
>Look inside
>No minato
I thought this was gonna talk about a lot more speedsters and not ones that are most commonly discussed.
As a huge fan of Speedsters here's a character that isn't mentioned that I loved.
Hermes from Blood of Zeus - This one was just Amazing to me because of how she flashes through everywhere without being Flashy, it just shows you that here is a God that has the Agility worthy of his title like how he blitzes into the desert and blitz jumps into a mountain to split the clouds as he passes by through them.
Thawne is professor zoom btw zolomon is just zoom
Okay got it!
@@DirkDiggler334yeah for some reason all the reverse flash’s get tagged with a nickname that include ‘zoom’ in it
Btw Hunter Zolomon (until very recently) was never a speedster. His powers are connected to the speed force but were time manipulation which allowed him to speed his timeline up faster or slower to make himself appear faster or slower. It wasn’t until 2018 or 19 that he actually became one, but then he “died.” He’s coming back next issue of the flash and we will find out if he’s actually still a speedster or not. He is also the RF of Wally West, not Barry Allen. His whole motivation as the RF of Wally is to make him a better hero through tragedy. He’s so deranged he sees himself as a hero helping to make Wally West a better hero.
hey i was ur 1k subscriber!!
Im writing it down, matter fact if I remember I'll add this in the next video.
Well as a slight nitpick that doesn’t really change much about the R.F it wasn’t that Barry’s suit had some remnants of his power, but rather Eobard recreated the experiment and it also gave him his powers, just as it had done for both Barry and Wally in the past.
17:29 that headcrush, it was from his POV. Omni-Man was fast enough to catch him, and crush his head in, what to the other members of the Guardians, an instant. Like you said, Omni-Man was just faster than him, and had them in an ambush, and was already slaughtering members, can be forgiven for a momentary lapse in strategy
Why is there no speedster that uses weapons ?
Guns obviously wouldn't benefit from speed, but what about spears ?
Think of the flash scene against Brainiac-Luthor, but instead of punches it was spears charges.
Maybe a tridents would be even better.
The flash's spear would be made of nth metal, quicksilver's of adamantium, removing the durability issues.
What about using vibranium ?
Speedsters love to vibrate, what kind of fun interactions could there be with vibranium ?
What about touhou/DIO throwing knives while time is stoped ?
Heck, what about stabbing someone with knives like a thousand time in a tenth of a second, if you don't want to bother carrying and throwing lots of knives ?
You forgot sonic the hedgehog 😢
Sucks that you don't know the comic book Quicksilver since you claim that he's your fav. In the comics, his personality us much more like A-Train, and would have been pissed for not being acknowledged for his achievements. Also Magneto raised Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch, but there's no blood relation. Magneto blood relative is Polaris, his daughter
there is a very good chance im gonna see a notification and check your chaneel in a few month and see you with like 300 k subs
ignore the fact i misspelled channel
Bro that would be a dream come true, I gotta go to work tho, thanks!
Makarri of the Eternals did speed the BEST imo. But amazing video and edits.
Thank You
I would really love to see you do sort of a breakdown of the difference between speedsters in Western media vs Eastern. Someone like Speed O Sound Sonic from One Punch Man, or Toji from Jujutsu Kaisen, I've always loved how anime "speedsters" don't just run in a straight line but remember that JUMPING is a thing and use their speed to bounce around places like a pinball.
This moment is one of my favorite examples in Hunter x Hunter. Notice how he bounces off the ceiling and walls. ua-cam.com/video/M8T_EggTY1g/v-deo.htmlsi=mCsKEMZK_ONq83j5&t=62
tojo bouncing around so fast he breaks the sound barrier easily ua-cam.com/video/T3in1O6FLf8/v-deo.htmlsi=5dtlaPzakfiBFUOS
and of course this whole fight between Lord Boros and Saitama from One Punch Man is filled with too many moments to pick one. Such as Boros moving so fast the energy from his friction is melting the environment around him ua-cam.com/video/4AQdwNRNCRI/v-deo.htmlsi=uiMm-jDLZgYmwjXC&t=205
THIS is how a speedster should be. Not just running in straight lines ua-cam.com/video/9Fvn2Dat-L0/v-deo.htmlsi=xABOziQ-pw5H-r53&t=77 (Speed O Sound Sonic showing you can do more than run in straight lines when you're fast)
few people talk about Godspeed from the comics
Im working on a vid, and I mention him. Hes the siphon speedforce from other speedsters and can be in 2 places at once speedster right
One fun fact about quicksilver is that he technically isn’t going fast. In the comics at least it was explained that he’s not going faster, he’s just slowing everything else down. Making him somewhat of a reverse speedster which I think is really cool.
Dude I didn’t know that and you’re right that is really cool!
Like Hunter Zolomon, kind of
RW:that scene that where Quick Silver did his work against the guards in the kitchen scene was also refs in Family Guy from when Meg did payback to her own Family before Chris sneezed on them when he caught the cold when they were eating burritos in the living room (Karma 😈)
Here before bro reaches 1k
In my fanworks, Takeru Takaishi from Digimon is digidestined's speedster(whose superspeed is a product of his Time Manipulation) that can depowered from feling despair(cuz like the rest of original digidestined, his powers are tied to his crests where in his case it's crest of hope) that can also teleport and control probability and intangible
Heroes tv Show's resident time manipulator(Hiro Nakamura) can have no match to any speedsters
ITS THE A-TRAIN BABY!
Thing is with Hunter Zolomon/Prof. Zoom, he's a Wally West Flash villain specifically. Reverse Flash was so petty that he thought "Huh. I am Barry's Arch Enemy, I should give Wally his own Reverse Flash lol that'd be funny...." and thats it. He's such a petty ego-maniac that he can't have anyone under the Flash title being happy.
The fact you put Minato in the thumbnail and didn't put him in is hurtful 😢😢😢
The mini-rant about you complaining Mystique taking all the credit from Quicksilver is hiliarious
😂😂😂 thanks!
Fun Fact: There are more than a few incarnations of the X-men is which and Quick Silver and Scarlet Witch are Magneto's children.
The Super Hero Squad show REALLY leans into this plot line and it's HILARIOUS!!!
Most do, in fact most people knew by the time of „Days of Future Past“, that Magento is going to be his father. HISHE made fun of this by having Erik just casually drop it
