"How fast is the flash?"
"Depends on the plot."

Killer frost should not have gotten away. YOU HAVE FUCKING SUPER SPEED!!! SHE IS POWER WALKING! I don't care if she froze you, you can still walk 1000x faster!
Depends on how stronge the enemy is average man: inf speed strong man: slower than a grandma in a wheelchair

@@Tha_one67 Slower than a grand ma nah
Barry isn't fast everyone just moves really slow to fuck with him.
lmao
Wtf that's a good one
That would make more sense than the actual show lmao
Lol
This is my new head-canon. This is like the Trueman Show superhero edition
Fun Fact: There's a comic that addresses how overpowered Barry is, where a bunch of villains share stories of why "We don't mess with the Flash's territory." Barry hunted a man through time and space to make him return a kid's lollipop, which mentally scarred his ego forever.
Captain Cold apparently is God himself or something
doyou remember the comic name?
@@tornadosiren8691 The Flash (2016) issue 800
Yeah, and now imaging a super fast, super strong hero with super vision/hearing/resistance, x-ray and laser vision, super breath and the ability to fly being defeated by an emo guy who puts rubbish on his belt and fight perturbed teenagers on the streets during the night.
@@CalaTec ok, and then what?
@@milliondollarmistake I don't know, make him kind and compassionate so he holds back from using his full power. He is also immune to everything except for the material of the extremely rare (except everyone has it) remains of his own destroyed planet. Also he is weak to magic, but it doesn't matter, we know magic doesn't exist. And his most powerful ability is to hide his identity by just using glasses. But hey, I'm not a comic book writer, so don't ask me.

“My name is Barry Allen and I’m the fastest man alive.”
_every season has someone faster than him, physically and mentally._
Why does a vibrating hand kill you?
Not every season. When he lost his emotions in the episode "Think Fast", he used his brain. He ended up getting super thinking and just because he thought faster, he became a way better hero. But he gave it up because Iris was stupid as always.
@@cobrakaineverdies4888 they fail the vibe check
@@thatrandomnerd6996 I mean Jay legit used his vibrating hand to take a bullet away from dr wells but that didn’t kill him?
@@cobrakaineverdies4888 I mean, it depends on the context. Is he phasing? If he isn't phasing, the vibrations can make a speedster's hand work like an electric or chain saw. That's the explanation given, anyway
It's funny how in S1 of the Flash, Cap'n Cold's freeze gun actually froze people into solid corpses but in Legends of Tomorrow, it just knocked them back a few feet.
It was explained. Snart and Rory made them less lethal.
They make the gun less lethal cause snart doesn't actually kill

@@ae.wayneism It's almost like you didn't read the 2 replies this comment already had or something. Idk.
@@wherethegirlsat ong 💀
As a teen I was invested in trying to craft my own super-speed hero and one of the rules I came up with was they had to build up speed. Dodging a gunshot you just noticed in real-time while you were calmly standing still had low chances of succeeding. Also this made operating in tighter spaces like average hallways of a building or a single room limited.
You read it here folks: A teenager has a greater capacity for writing interesting heroes with limits to their powers than professional writers.
@@dr.cheeze5382 that's still even the smaller stuff. 😅
I also had the rule that the "super speed" was a time warping effect that would cloak his body and any material he physically interacted with. This helped with certain scenarios where physics are important, such as:
- Him reaching the speeds that would normally have serious external effects do not occur, such as sonic booms.
- If he for whatever reason hit a wall or some other object while technically moving for instance at 100 km/h, the force he and the object would be affected by would only be that of what it would've been based on his natural speed without the time warp.
- No matter how quickly he hit someone, the effect would only be that of his normal punch. This gave incentive to gain and sustain physical fitness. Though with enough speed, even average hits can overwhelm the best fighters.
- He could not do the usual "HA! I simply grabbed your bullet out of the air"-trick or its like. The moment he in-super speed interacted with the bullet, his warp-cloak would affect it and the bullet's speed would adjust, most likely instantly tearing through whatever part of him touched it. So COMPLETELY avoiding projectiles was CRITICAL.
Also what tempers all of this further is that your cognitive functions don't adjust equally. The levels of observation you'd have when running on a road compared to the same exertion plus warp-effect are not the same, a sort of tunnel vision forms and grows with the speed. So he should never attempt complicated tasks while in high super speeds.
@@sugartoothYT that is actually very interesting and I'd love to see you do more with this idea.
Top from Undead Unluck is an interesting version of this. His power is to negate any forces that would slow him down, causing him to accelerate unstoppably until his “shape changes”, i.e. he breaks a bone. In fact, he is physically incapable of slowing down until this happens, able to change direction if he has something to kick off of but unable to lower his speed. To attack someone at lightspeed he basically had to have someone else distract the opponent while he ran all the way around the world to build up enough speed. And as to be expected, it utterly destroyed the target. Pretty fair example of superspeed with understandable drawbacks.
@@DrGandW wow.
You need to understand... He needs the power of love to beat the villians
And friendship- wait a minute he stole that from Sonic
@@lazerstudios9982 oi ima stop you right there SPEED SPEED SPEED
The speed force is powered by love in season 7 😂😂
No he doesn't!
Maybe the real Speedforce was the friends we made along the way
Barry: “I am the fastest man alive.”
Some random speedster from another dimension: “No, I am.”
Barry: “Oh, fuck.”
_5 seconds later_
Barry: “Never mind, I used the power of friendship and now I’m faster.”
Some random speedster from another dimension: “Oh, fuck.”
**Roll credits**
I just wrote 5 fucking seasons of this shit.
More like 7 useless seasons of a show in actuality should never be made. If the Flash's power is, so OP, why in the world do the writers choose to make Barry look like an absolute imbecile, not beating his enemies in less than 5 minutes but takes an entire episode of 30 minutes or three to win? It makes you want to apply a hammer to your head as a sedative to get away from watching something so mind-numbingly stupid. Yet this is probably not just the Flash, but all superhero shows done by the CW. Where they had the power to end the threat in 5 minutes or less but choose to waste everyone's time, beating the person with methods they should have employed in the first encounter.
@@mstevens94 Sometimes there are reasons but it is silly
@@tobsonasanya4765 there aren't, stop protecting the show
@@mstevens94 What about villains who capture his long ones, or people who can affect his powers or speedster villains especially
@@mstevens94 Yeah writing speedsters and mostly op charcters can be inconsisrent
Ill defend Barry in episode one, he was new to his powers, and not used to actually facing bad guys himself, he was a CSI. He probably just didn't have the mindset at the time to run down the bad guy, nor the experience with his powers to think of them it such a situation. After that though, it really makes no sense.
Every one second of Real time that passes, Barry gets almost 2 minutes to think (115 seconds assuming he can run 20mph without super speed which is generous). There is no excuse.
In other shows the HERO has plot armor. In The Flash ironically it's the VILLAINS who all have it.
Holy sh#t yeah that the best way the describe it
My head-canon is that every non-speedster that managed to run away was just carried off by Reverse Flash.

Exactly. They walk at a normal pace through a door but Barry somehow can't catch them.

Okay, at first I was mad when you dissed season 1, but then I watched the rest of the video and you're completely right.
DUDE. You didn't even mention the amount of times that villains who would like him dead DON'T JUST KILL HIM. The dude's knocked over because he can't help but stand and talk and get himself shot or punched or what have you despite his established super-reaction-speed, now he's on the ground and the villains have the means to kill him. They proceed to TURN AND RUN from the FLASH.

Ya know... In Season One, the CW could've easily used the argument that he was learning to master his speed to explain some of his random punches and moves where he suddenly dips out of Flash Time... It'd explain why he dashes at some people, but then suddenly slows down and throws a normal punch; however, this goes out the window when Barry fights Thawne, and he's forced to be able to go against the Reverse Flash.
Actually, now that I think about it, if they weren't so insistent on making Barry faster with every season, and played their cards right, they could randomly nerf and destabilize his powers in the first few seasons.
Season 1, he's learning to use his power.
Season 2, he has the "yips" in the beginning, gets back into the swing of things, then loses his speed to Zoom and when he regains it, it's unstable. While fighting someone who is speed-doping, and whose also steadily losing his power, it becomes less a fight of two speedster growing stronger and stronger, and more Barry trying to regain control.
Season 3 and the Flashpoint snafu can EASILY throw his power out of whack at first. The endgame isn't even a speed vs speed duel with Savitar, it becomes a battle of wits (with a few dimwits, yes), and as fast as Barry is, Savitar is faster, by definition. They could EASILY have Barry doubt his abilities and have him underestimate himself and the fear of losing Iris could cause him to stumble with no real recovery, until the final battle--after Iris has been saved. Now that history has been changed, he gains the resolve to not allow it to happen again...
Problem is... Season 4, onward, there's REALLY no excuses... The Thinker isn't a speedster, and every weakness CW comes up with, Barry can provide and amplify. Without grossly overpowering The Thinker from the start, Barry has no reason to lose.
"Oh, but Barry was driven mad by the Speed Force in the beginning,"
And came to his senses immediately. That said, you could argue that the radiation impacting the "Bus Metas" was the Speed Force, and that their powers could be passively sapping at Barry's and making them stronger, and that was part of why The Thinker not only wanted all of their powers--nullifying Barry--but also why he wanted Barry to face them all, so they get stronger as he gets weaker. Then argue that Team Flash would figure out how his powers were being nerfed and find a way to re-amplify his powers--changing the wavelength, for example, so the "Bus Metas" can no longer passively draw from his Speed Force, preventing them from getting stronger, preventing The Thinker from also getting stronger (since by this point, he'd be inside one of them), and allowing Barry to just grow stronger. Since he'd no longer be sapped by the "Bus Metas," he'd be "ripe" for The Thinker to steal his powers. This is the point where we're finally at Season 4's climax. By the end of Season 4, he could be just a LITTTLE faster than at the start of Season 4, and The Thinker could be aiming to take his body.
"But you said it made no sense for Barry to have trouble with The Thinker, yet you gave a scenario where it makes sense!"
Yup, 'cause in the beginning of Season 4, until The Thinker bodysnatches the first "Bus Meta," his body wouldn't be affecting Barry, meaning until Barry starts fighting the other Metas, he is hitting The Thinker with full power, and The Thinker has NO counter to this. It'd give a reason for The Thinker to stay in hiding, though.
Season 5, onward, I don't think Barry has ANY reason to be nerfed or limited... The last season, though, he'd definitely be at max power fighting the biggest bad...
@@IrvinCascade Let's be real: There were a billion ways the writers could've resolved Barry being ridiculously OP all through the show: IF they'd bothered to even try.
The CW: damn I need a weapon, ahh I'll use my knife to sharpen this stick.
My fav comment so far.
Nice futurama reference
Unironically that's actually one of my favorite gags if done for comedy.
Lmao

I didn’t notice a ton of flaws in the show but one thing that drove me crazy was when Barry said he couldn’t run at Mach 2 when in a way earlier scene he’s shown moving faster then lightning, which if you do the math is moving at fucking Mach 351
Ikr
*gEniUs*
Which lightning

The sad thing about multiplying man is that they could have made him assault multiple parts of the city at the same time, confusing Barry and winning more time to do his thing. But nope, they all went to the same place and ran away like nothing.
DC hits this problem a lot with their more powerful heroes (Supes, Flash, etc.), where they have their ultra-powerful near-God basically just *letting* the villains get further and further along in their plans. This is probably why Arrow (at least early seasons) grabbed a lot more people into it. Ollie's good, but he's still got human limits, so sure, badass with a bow, but he's not bulletproof. Ollie even brings up the point with Barry, that as Flash, he can literally insta-case every area he every goes into, then demonstrates Barry's lack of thinking, by one of the better scenes with, shooting him with two crossbow traps that Barry didn't bother to check the existence of before he charged in.
No S1E1 Barry, I cut slack. He's *doesn't* know his limits, or how much he can really do on anything more than an academic/trial and error level. The problem, is that he never actually gets much better at it in the course of the overall series. He makes a couple bad decisions, hesitates on Marden.... alright, it's his first villain, fully understandable. But he's still doing that crap all the way through the series.
Another issue with him "not knowing his limits" though is... it's super speed.
He has super fast thinking and movement.
He's not out catching criminals 24/7.
One single day of training would basically account to multiple months of training.
Of all the super powers out there, it's the one where this argument honestly just straight up makes the least sense.
As soon as he figured out how to activate it in a remotely controllable manner, he should've pretty much immediately mastered it over the next couple of days.
Because super speed basically functions like time dilation, which means he has a LOT more time in each day to practice than other superheroes would.
Basically.... Barry's just stupid.
@@AtomicArtumas Where I cut slack on this is that you have do still have to have the idea to use the power in a particular way. Like, yeah, he knows he's super fast, but doesn't grasp phasing, because why would he? It's less about speed of thought, but lateral thought, which isn't actually sped up.
But yeah, he repeatedly keeps making the same insane mistakes throughout the series. I'm not counting "Let's try to talk this down" parts, that's fine, it's a moral argument, and he's a hero, the basic resting point is that he'll try to de-escalate first.
However, even in later seasons, he just keeps running straight into the middle of traps that he could have EASILY avoided if he'd just consider the concept of traps being a thing.
You can't even put it as Barry being an idiot, it's literally where you can feel the bad writing. Like, Deadpool is a bit of an idiot, but it's part of his character. Captain America constantly tries to punch his way through problems, but again, that's just habit, not terrible writing. Flash gets repeatedly trapped by writing that feels divorced from the very universe they wrote.
But we’re supposed to believe that s1 Barry is also intelligent
"Flash, you need to go THIS FAST!"
"But I've never gone THAT FAST before!"
"Well, you've got to try!"
**and then he goes that fast. repeat every episode**
**still loses to humans at normal speed**
yeah thats it all 7 seasons with about 5 episodes of deviation

Its actually expressed in another season that Barry has super speed thinking as he uses it to take down a band of mind reading criminals by changing the moves they anticipate at super speed

I've learned over the years, the flash's greatest nemesis isn't Reverse Flash, or Captain Cold..
It's the CW Writers
Culture is literally changing and Media reflects that but Media is also the Cause, cause it's all symbiotic.
For example, Quotes from the
12. Doctor: "Oh, the Mechanized Space-Suits malfunction and attack us? That's funny cause that means we're like Anyone-else Everywhere-else: We're fighting the Suit!"

This is a problem that is often faced by speedsters in fiction. They are so powerful that it is difficult to write stories for them that are both challenging and believable. If the speedster is too powerful, then the story becomes boring because the hero can easily defeat any villain. If the speedster is not powerful enough, then the story becomes unrealistic because the hero should be able to defeat any villain.
Writers of superhero stories often have to find creative ways to limit the speedster's powers in order to make the story more challenging and believable. For example, they might give the speedster a weakness that can be exploited by the villain. They might also create a situation where the speedster is unable to use his powers to their full potential.
In the case of The Flash, the writers have often used the Speed Force to limit Barry Allen's powers. The Speed Force is a mysterious energy field that gives speedsters their powers. It can also be used to create powerful barriers that can protect Barry from harm.
The Speed Force is a powerful tool that can be used to both help and hinder Barry Allen. It is what makes him a hero, but it is also what makes him vulnerable. It is a constant balancing act for Barry to use his powers for good without letting them consume him.
The problem of speedsters is a difficult one to solve, but it is one that writers of superhero stories have been dealing with for years. There is no easy answer, but the best stories are the ones that find a way to make the speedster's powers both challenging and believable.

this is my favorite comment, actually easily explains Savitar existence and the reason Barry was able to understand his identity, because deep down all he wants is to play god .
Captain Cold's typical approach in the comics isn't to immediately shoot Flash directly, it's to freeze over the environment so that Flash's speed works against him due to the reduced friction. Aided even further by his team ups with his sister Golden Glider who is a specialist in moving over ICE!

Barry would function infinitely better as an anti-hero, like how Deadpool is op af but since he's bored he fucks around so the enemies actually have a chance.
it's infinitely more entertaining to see Deadpool playing with the bad guys
Like Saitama.
@@Raccon_Detective. saitama is more of a satire of the genre. For sure The Flash could do the same but it's a very narrow view that's been explored before and I don't know if it can be more fleshed out.
I've read some Flash comics and they were pretty entertaining, entirely depends on the writers.
I wouldn’t say Deadpool is OP simply because he isn’t the strongest, smartest or the most skilled. He just doesn’t care because he is effectively immortal.
People with super speed basically have super strength because as everyone should know, faster things make more ouchie.
Agreed and even people with super durability aren’t going to be able to withstand him going Mach20, and punching them. It might break every bone in his arm, but he can heal from that.
The main way of fixing the show should have been making the villains more powerful, giving Barry a handicap, and making sure there are reasons why he can’t stop them.

Flash could be basically a god if he didn’t fuck around most of the time.
@@Chadius_Thundercock Just change the plot to make it more logical and interesting. Like for example when it comes to his fights with captain cold the writers could have made it so flash was losing his speed/energy before that so he's better of a match to him, like for example by reverse flash stealing his speed in secret by sneaking in some sort of device in his suit (pretty sure something similar happened in season 2), flash needing food because of his super metabolism etc. They also could have made it so captain cold's gun doesn't just slow flash down when it hits him but that it slows him down even if he's close to it. With the guy who could clone himself the writers could have made it so he had multiple clones of him throughout the city doing crime shit and a lot of them so it's more challenging for the flash, and with the toxic gas guy maybe make it so the exact moment before he is hit (even at super speed) his reflexes make him turn into that green gas again and so on.
"...and I'm the FASTEST man alive!"
Almost all seasons' plot is about that there is someone faster than him or that he is not fast enough.

"Barry just lets him make a move like its a fucking turnbased RPG"
Best explanation of the problems with super-speed story telling ever! xD
Yup, on point
that was actualy funny and pretty on point yes, and not only for this show but for like at least half of the series, movies that exist, things happen or are let it happened because plots need it and thats it, there is no real and legit reasons why this could happen.
But to be fair there is a lots of things where plot is ok, and in the flash ok there are clearly a lots of inconsistant things but, with speed powers anyway its just impossible to create plausible things for most situation.
Doesnt mean it can be writtent better or at least in a more entertaining way but speed power is so strong that it can honestly just instant stop pretty much 90% of any situation that could happen.
Only some personne have power that can have a sens in fight with a speedsters, obviously superman because he is fast but wayyyyy more strong, so he could just stand still and let flash break on him lol.
Killerfrost actualy got a really strong power and in the serie they actualy shown how it works kinda, the fact taht her freezing ability is so strong that she can slow down mollecule, so actualy she can have a control over flash because she can slowdown his speed, we nearly could say at some point that they could be some king of opposite force, like one exite mollecules while other slow them.
Many people with energy power, depending on hox it works could work against flash, like doing some energy field, or AOE blast and things like that.

Comparing this to another "talker hero" Spider Man several times just appears drop kicking, or web stealing an important item from the villains hands, then he makes a joke about it. He can also imobilize villains with web before doing the "crime doesn't pay" talk. I think Flash can do the same, grab the person, take him to special ppl cushion jail then talk about it after.
Also if you think about it, psychologically people tend to understand things are wrong after experiencing consequences, so this would be even more effective

And the CW has him getting beat up by 4 normal guys? 🤣🤣
I honestly hate it when someone says a character is "faster than time" like what the fuck is that even supposed to mean? This is what happens when the writers try to desperately make a character impressive by increasing their powers to absurd levels, it started with "yo he's very fast" to "he can break the laws of physics and move multiple times faster than the speed of light to the point where he can stop time pretty much and time travel at will" of course when you reach to a point this stupid the only option for the encounters to have any meaning is to make the protagonist a complete dumbass moron because, if Flash had a single neuron more the series would have been over on the first episode
I love putting this series on when I go to bed. Its very well made. You're a great content creator and deserve more subscribers.
i enjoyed this show so much back in season 1 but i was also just constantly thinking "why doesn't he use his superpowers for that". i think the writers were too scared of barry being op so they just made him stupid as fuck lol
They had JLU Wally to go off of. That Flash didn’t even have access to the speed force naturally. He had limitations to leave room for more villains to raise stakes. They could have just nerfed his speed in the show and not show OP feats
The solution is the Smallville solution. Make him slower, and end the series on him getting full speed. But this show was never made to be logically consistent so whatever.

@Christian Stewart well with the time thing at least it makes sense because the speed force will try to stop him. But the fact that he can go so fast that time essentially stops around him with no repercussions other than him getting tired after using for while is pointless because he never ever uses it again. Why can’t he just use it in short bursts and catch any villain just like that? It’s just stupid.
That’s the problem with giving a character super speed. People think “oh he’s just a fast guy.” Speedsters are basically gods with the way they can attack before you can even make a thought

I totally agree with that. It's soo much better with two speedsters(one hero and one villain).
Barry against guns: dodges bullets effortlessly.
Barry against a FREEZE gun: suddenly cannot dodge.
Literally, the freeze gun was supposed to be based on a weakness, but if he was shot by a real bullet, he would’ve died anyway, so this seems a bit dramatic.
Man, superspeed is insanely difficult to write about compared to superstrength. At least Spiderman can be all "I have to hold back my strength so I don't accidentally liquify this mugger" but The Flash just has no excuse.
Did you purposely say spiderman cause spiderman doesn't really have to hold back when he can easily shoot webs at muggers. Superman on the other hand has to deal with controlling his strength or even the hulk.
But yea, Flash doesn't have any excuse in terms of holding back.
@@natperXD Could be a mistake but comic book Spiderman actually does have super strength(granted things in comic books gets retconned all the time).

Multiplying man should be the easiest one to create a reliable escape plan for. Just make his clones expendable, like whenever he wants to he can have just disintegrate and keep their memories. Then have him never reveal his true body, only sending his clones to do the dirty work. So, he robs a bank, Barry arrests the clones, saves the people, and recovers the cash and then the clones just poof and a different crime is committed the next day. Maybe you could have team flash do some digging and track down MM's expenses and locate his main body. Maybe you could have him convince one of the clones to defect. Maybe you could have such that in order to know what's going on MM has to be nearby watching. Anyway, it counters Barry's speed well enough that he could win if he weren't stupid.

How he stopped zoom and savitar in a nutshell
I've started watching this show because of your videos and they're so bad they're fun to watch. I just finished season 2 and am very upset with how it ends.
Honestly, I could accept Barry constantly stopping to talk to his enemies, since he is so fast it shouldn't matter. Why not chat for a bit? It's not like they can do anything to him... the problem is that after the talk he just lets them attack him. Comparing it to a tun based RPG is a very good analogy to what this series feels like.
Or even better he could just relocate them to star labs and talk to them there. It would feel much more like interrogation and much less meeting with an old friend
And civilians wouldn't be hurt and killed by his stupidity.
There was the animated series of the justice league, I never watched it but I've seen clips from it and in one of them Barry tries to and succeeded in talking to a criminal that just needed to take his medicine or something.
I think the talking could be totally justified if they made Barry's character try to convince them or something. Idk
@@jorge2555 Barry is normally pretty friendly and tries to help everyone (including helping talk down criminals if he can) that is true to cannon the issue is that 9 times out of 10 the writers don't know how to make anything interesting so he'll dodge a bullet touching his goddamn skin but then get hit by a punch, arrow, lightning, fire, or whatever other bs the writers feel are apparently fast enough to not only catch him off guard but also hit him before he can react to it.
Edit: also would like to point out in many universes the rouge gallery for the flash actually carries a pretty large amount of respect for the flash to such a point that many try to avoid killing as a whole both of innocents and of other speedsters. Course in many newer works this is completely ignored as it both lowers the stakes and makes them fighting the flash and doing crimes as whole rather redundant, but there are still quite a few instances of the flash either working with his rouge gallery if one of them goes to far or them going out of their way not to kill him.
