The old fights weren't perfect but they were better all they really had to do was add more combat to them instead of them running most of the fight i mean a speedsters punch can send someone flying they should of added that to their fights and when they were running through the city turning every corner they should have collided with each other make a big explosion of power

Indeed, I remember the first time Flash used a supersonic punch on Girder, that was badass. Then later on Grodd... I also really hope that they do a good job with the new Captain Boomerang, Owen Mercer. His father, Digger Harkness, was a real threat in The Flash/Arrow crossover, and his 'rangs were filmed in a cool way. I'm glad they also brought back the Rainbow Raider, I just love Roy Bivolo's getup and haircut and cool shades and red eyes, dude just looks cool in a nerdy way, not sure how to explain it in English... Hey that's cool, I just realized that the actor for Roy, _Paul Anthony_ , played one of the 2 main characters in a 2005 movie called "Eighteen" in which his co-star on the cover and all was played by _Brendan Fletcher_ , aka the Arrow season 8 villain *"The Star-City Slayer", Stanley Dover* (that I didn't even recognize in *Superman & Lois* season 1 as Thaddeus Killgrave) Anyway I'm kinda bummed they're not bringing back the original actor for Murmur, but the female version looks very comic accurate costume-wise, let's hope they don't screw up her personality.

Everyone talks about camera and budget and I find those objectively legitimate issues as well, but to me the most notable issue with post-S4 Flash is lack of ambition. A lot of the pre-S5 Flash CGI isn't much better than post-S4 CGI but there was clearly a creative vision behind it. Grodd VS Barry in Gorilla City for example looks like a PS2 cutscene but it gives us EXACTLY what it promised. 2 iconic DC characters fighting 'realistically' in an iconic DC location with a strong narrative purpose behind it. Modern Flash has no vision. Standing around, cheesey one liners, underwhelming fights that are usually either lightning strikes or unimaginative out of nowhere gimmicks (like the lightsaber fight), that's the formula now every time. They are content with boring now, they don't care enough to make something cooler, they have no vision. Old Flash knew it didn't have the budget to make their ideas look realistic but they embraced it, they made it and it looked like PS2 cutscenes but it didn't matter because THEY MADE IT, WE GOT IT, it's not 4K but we got it, cool scenes. None of that now, none.

Zoom was ruthless in season 2!
I hate how they can just shoot the lightning out of their fingers so easily, it was better when Barry had to charge it up and actually “throw” the lightning.
I think the superhero genre has had an impact on the CGI companies. Because there are so many super movies being made they are being torn down and exhausted. 10 years ago there wasn’t very many Marvel movies during phase 2 and 3 that required extensive CGI, that’s probably why it looked so good in those movies and in Transformers as well.

Savitar dragging Barry through the wormholes was the pinnacle of villains beating Barry. For the first time, you no longer feel like Barry has a chance to maybe run away or get some upper hand. Yeah, when Thawne or Zoom are beating his ass it’s hard to watch, but at least you have some idea of how fast they are. But when we first saw Savitar run, we had NO idea how Barry could ever outspeed him

My theory as to why newer seasons have such bad fights is that since the Arrowverse drifted away from Arrow's more "sulky" and "dark" atmosphere, they weren't able to mask effects under darkness as much as before, so the bad parts are much more obvious

Pandemic restrictions. But that begs the question why we didn't see more CGI Flash models like in season 1/2. CgI models don't have to worry about getting touched. Or why Superman and Lois could do more interesting action scenes despite a character who can just shoot lasers all the time.
That was legit one of the things that hooked me onto the show, how well they (at first) portrayed people with super speed having to engage in physical combat. Now, there’s practically nothing, _Power Rangers_ makes the new fights look even more ridiculous than they already do.

One thing that changes how fights are portrait is the actors request for having their faces in camera. In the old fights and action scenes, you barely saw the actors faces since it is not need it for us the audience to see the face of Flash when he is running but for the actor (not the character) they want their faces in the shot because that's what actors want.
“There’s no where to run” (Villain runs away) “….”
There's a lot of ways you can use super speed, even for long range attacks, but I guess they could only afford one effect with no choreography. If you wanted to amp it up for later seasons and limit it to simple VFX stuff, You can have him punch so fast that you displace air for a long range air punch, throw tiny air molecules so fast they become plasma bullets, vibrate to cause earthquakes, vibrate to cause sound waves, use a vibrating punch to cause a massive amount of friction to set an enemy on fire. You can have him throw things and such, like dust thrown so fast it wraps an entire area like a smokescreen, maybe a bouncy ball or some shit for funnies, or just literally steal from the comics with tornado hand shit, IDK. The writing doesn't really hold up the conflicts or make it deep enough to care without some variation.

You don't need long range attacks when you can punch 1,000 times per second and go the other side of the planet in another second before the opponent can even react. Speedster vs most normal people fights shouldn't even be a fight. They should be at the crime scene one second then suddenly find themselves in jail the next and not even know what happened.
