    Agree 100%, I really wish they used more reversed flash, I was astonished when I release that the main villain of flash had less screen time in movies, series etc. It is like if you used joker just as a side character (although I think with joker is the opposite, they use him a lot). Love your videos, they are so concise :D, never change man.

    I've always felt that Flash should be more feared by villains and respected amongst the heroes as 1 of Earths most powerful like Superman Martian Lanterns and Doc Fate. Dude can "run back in time". How does an ice gun ever tag him

    I love your comparison to One Punch Man. It’s a story about a guy struggling with directionless after acquiring too much power, and while there are exciting fights from side characters, his hurdles are never about winning a battle. Basically, the writer knew that One Punch Man couldn’t seriously be threatened in a fight, so he expertly explored the humor of the situation in different ways

    I think that, in essence, superheroes should do things that we might want to do if we had their superpowers. Ground rules, like you said, are important. I like to know where the hero is at, mentally and physically. That makes it especially fun when a hero learns they can do something accidently or through experimentation; like when Dash learns he can run on water. It adds a level of immersion and vicariousness to the story.

    My suspicion is most normal people just don't get how big of a difference there is between 200mph, hypersonic, and speed of light. Most people probably intuitively think hypersonic is like 3x faster than 200mph and lightspeed is 10x faster than hypersonic. So The flash can go speed of light on a good day but if he gets a cold or something he can still get hit by a bullet.

    I should point out that Omni-Man also has super-speed and accelerated perception. Dude can fly hundreds of times faster than light. Still, I totally agree with this video. Speedsters are broken and should remain consistent when writing their capabilities 👍

    Your final Argument is a good explanation why Grodd is actually a good counter to Flash. Superbrain might clock in at a similiar speed as a Speedster, even if the body does not. But reading the mind of the Speedster lets you know where he is going to be.

    Or, better yet, do the Ozymandias thing of "Stop it? My plan resolved thirty minutes ago. Why would I monologue when there was still a possibility you might stop it?" Of course, that breaks if you permit time travel, but that's more of an inherent problem with acausal narratives in general than it is with super-speed in particular.

    the one comic where the villains sit around the poker table, betting their loot on the game and talking about where they like to do their crimes, then theres one of them talking about Flashes turf and asking why nobody goes there, and the other villains just tell these stories about the joker and other guys i dont remember going there, being beaten in no time, and one of them being traumatized because he could not escape to other citizes, planets, dimensions, and even the end of the universe, because the flash is always either there or is almost there, then it ends with flash finding those playing villains after he finds the guy that didnt know not to mess with the flash and the city he protects

    Definitely season 1 and two of the flash made some sense sicne flash was still relatively slow as he was still a learner and needed massive distances to get up to crazier speeds but after the savitar arc it made no sense for him to struggle against anyone except another speedster

    Really good video. A lot of the power aspect can be summed up with Brandon Sanderson’s rules: limitations > capabilities. The more organic( key word) challenges you can throw the better. Something I find is very understated with Barry or Wally is that they need to eat a lot of food. That makes sense given their powers burn calories like nuts. Imagine a situation where they spent most of their money on food and can’t afford anything more or they didn’t eat enough calories and have to solve problems without their speed. Or if they want to lean into the stupid slow motion stuff with super speed; at least throw in some limitations. Edgerunners did this well with a nosebleed for David when overusing it. Or heck JLU flash he had to build up speed to tap into the speed force by running a bit. And nearly got lost into it. Any kind of organic, clear limitation that’s consistently used.

    that 200mph top speed for Dash, its just a start, hes like 10 or something, his lets are around the size of Bobs hands or slightly longer, just imageine when he grows up (and if he grows up to be around the height of his dad, then thats an insane amount of speed increase) i can see him breaking the sound barrier

    It’s honestly just depressing that the whole scenario thing you talked about, Reverse Flash making the Flash train harder and him needing to regain discipline, etc, is explored in a fucking LEGO Flash movie. It’s short, but that’s the overall theme of that.

    Apparently, comic book Flash is always in Flash-Time. When an average man manages to hit Flash, it's because Flash got distracted with his perception of time. Ridiculous.

    Colds gun is more than just a freeze ray. It brings things to absolute zero. meanin it stops all movement down to a subatomic level. Speedsters obiously move their molecules really fast so when you're bringing their molecules to a grinding halt it makes things more difficult for Flash. Grodd messes with Flash's mind making it hard for him to focus on running and he's sometimes telekinetic too. His villains make more sense when you really think about it.

    @@MovieF8 No problem. Most of his villains just try to outsmart him and it only ever works for a minute or two so pre planning is key for the Rogues which is why the highlight the intelligence of his villains and trickery of some like mirror master using his mirror gone to make reflection illusions of himself or trap flash in the mirror dimension. But your point is still valid, they sometimes have him act like a sidekick to the main league which is really annoying.

    I feel like an underrated take on speedster that DC should apply to the Flash in the movies is ironically from Marvel Studios as shown in the mixed movie The Eternals (2021) where Makkarri, the deaf speedster of the group has some of best speedster scenes in a movie and you really feel the momentum and impact of her speed as well make her speed for the most consistent and not too powerful without comprising the character when deemed necessary. The Flash's speed should be taken into consideration when writing the character and too often adaptations lose that consistency and right balance of suspension of disbelief and grounded, interesting speedster scenes. The Flash as a character deserves better and though I disagree with the notion that his villains being C-listers as their tech is designed to slow down the Flash making them adequate threats, I do greatly agree that Flash's speedster feats need to find that right balance and be taken into consideration when writing the character without putting too much plot holes like how the CW show made his powers staggeringly too inconsistent
