    We live in a world where a movie with Ryan Reynolds holding hands with a shirtless Hugh Jackman during a Madonna song was more epic and emotional than a live action adaptation of Flashpoint.

    One important topic we have to consider is that this is Flash’s first live action film and yet it already tried to tackle the Flashpoint storyline.
    This is the same issue that Batman v Superman faced. Rather than give the audience time with this incarnation of Flash in a few standalone films of his own, this film wants to upend his entire world with multiverse and time travel shenanigans before we even care about this Flash as a character.
    Imagine if the first ever movie with the Avengers was Captain America: Civil War or Infinity War, or the first Spider-Man film was No Way Home, or the first Deadpool movie was D&W. Without the context of the smaller things that let us get to know the character, the bombastic events loose substance and it all become white noise.

    Great Vid, got my sub!
    The whole Barry turning evil thing was already done on CW. Like pretty much the same way (time travelling remnant goes nuts instead of past Barry). CW did Savitar way better in the show (WTH is a "Dark Flash"). That also could've been a reason it bombed. People love the flash, but people are also a little flashed out. Especially after those last two season, they are omitted from my rewatches😂

    I have a lot of respect for Stephen King, he's been one of if not my favorite author, but i now have to wonder if he's either gone senile, back on coke or if he saw a completely different film from what was released in theaters.

    • @mattm8870

      It's simple the reason why is in Stephen King tweet he don't care for Superhero films. That means that the Flash is abnormal for a superhero film.

    How i thought flash could have worked if given the right storytelling, vfx, and soundtrack. I would have had it be a flash and batman teamup with ben affleck. Both realize they live in a paradox due to the dceu always having a disconnected universe. And by the end, flash realizes the dceu is already doomed to be destroyed, so instead he creates a new universe, being the DCU.

    What also killed Flash was fans learning of the original intention of the film.
    Flash was never intended as a Swan Song for the DCEU but rather a not-so-soft reboot. The intent as confirmed by Walter Hamada was to use the Flashpoint story to outright erase both Henry’s Superman and Affleck’s Batman by replacing them with Supergirl and Keaton’s Batman completely. Keaton would then get replaced by Batgirl in the canceled Batgirl film.
    A lot of fans saw it as a slap in the face to Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck who many see as the face of the DCEU for better or worse. Especially Cavill who is a major fan favorite. So it felt less like a tribute or swan song and more like another bad attempt at a course correction of the “Snyderverse” which was still red hot after ZSJL. Showing WB learned nothing and wanted to quietly remove what fans wanted to see more of while replacing it with stuff fans didn’t want or ask for.
    D&W on the other hand was clearly intended as a love letter and a farewell to the FOX era of Marvel films . While it took jabs at it, it was more friendly. It also came across as a passion project for Ryan Reynolds who wanted to share the screen with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine for years as well as having both join the MCU.

    27 Google commercials/ads, 2 about diet something or other, and 1 about car insurance, for a total of 30 (unless you count the first 2 initial ones for Google and the car insurance), making the total running time of this 12:45 video around 18-20 minutes, add in the browser freeze each time it's queued to load and play a streamed ad identical to the other 27, and we're looking at 30 minutes - I suggest you need a title change to something more realistic, like "How Google eradicates all scams, interspersed with various clips of some super heroes and a few diet ads," or possibly "We're so greedy and desperate for income, that we made a video and ensured it would waste your time by presenting as many possible repeated ad as we could get." Any of those concepts would at least properly represent your posting. Now, to address the video subject and content: I thought the extreme lack of imagination in repeating over and over that downloading the Google app will protect you from all scams was a bit droll, and shallow. The cinematography, however was excellent.

    The Flash was a good movie, it was funny and heartfelt. It bombed because the DCEU was ending and it was released over half a decade after Justice League, it wasn't relevant anymore by the time it hit theaters.
    Deadpool and Wolverine succeeded because it was pure fan service. The movie has cameo after cameo to make the audience cheer, but take it all away and you're left with a paper thin plot.
