The part of this movie that really pissed me off is when they CGIed a cameo for George Reeves' Superman (the 50s TV Superman). Reeves took his own life because he felt trapped in a failing career where he was constantly typecast as Superman. He couldn't escape Superman in life, ended his life because of it, and now thanks to this movie he can't escape it it in death. Oh, and this movie's release date (June 16, 2023) is the 64th anniversary of his suicide.

A lot is talked about the Christopher Reeve cameo because of how his portrayal of Superman is by far the most iconic and beloved depiction of the character and because of how tragic his death was, but to me the George Reeves one was more insulting. George's role as Superman basically doomed his career, as he was contractually forced to reject important roles to not interfere with the TV show, was typecast as mere Superman cameos in everything he managed to do outside the show, and he still got denied the role when they decided to make a Superman movie. He committed suicide because of all the stress being Superman led him to. And they still put that damn cape in his digitally puppeteered corpse anyway.

As much as I don't want to be disrespectful, I really disagree. We will never know for 100% certain if George Reeves would have agreed to this cameo or not. But regardless of how it ended, his career is Superman inspired a generation. Without George Reeves, it's possible Superman might have Just falling off the radar and became a forgotten comic by the 1960s, and people might not even know who Superman is. Tons of people looked up to this incarnation of Superman, they felt they were with him on his journey. Not sure if you heard the story about a kid who almost shot George Reeves because he wanted to see the bullet bounce off of him, but he talked the kid out of it not by telling him that he wasn't actually Superman, but by telling him that if the bullet did actually bounce off of him, it might strike another innocent bystander. That's probably what Superman would do if he didn't have powers. And as tragic as it is that George Reeves probably did end everything because he thought his life was over because he was typecast as Superman, I can't help but wonder if he would actually be ashamed knowing that his legacy lived on for so long. There are tons of actors who are constantly in debt and the thought of landing such an iconic role that would be remembered for decades to come is considered a jackpot, whether you're type cast or not. Adam West also ran into problems when he was typecast as Batman, and I don't mean to say that he "handled it better" or anything , but he took advantage of his type cast. He mainly played exaggerated versions of himself, and even played an in universe type B forgotten kids superhero in an episode of the Goosebumps tv show, parodying his well-known role as Batman. And I know this is wrong to say, but it's honestly because of this very cameo in this movie that is driving me to wanting me to check out George Reeve's Superman show. Asad as it is to say, a lot of people today. Look down on anything that was made more than a few decades ago, assuming it'll be boring or offensive, but seeing it be put into a scene of such awe in a big movie like this naturally makes me and a lot of other Gen Z losers think to ourselves: "Oh... Well, If a movie made now on such a big budget is saying the show was good, then maybe there is actually something to it." I know a lot of people would have been happier if the cameo just wasn't there at all, but is it really more disrespectful to just pretend like the older incarnations of Superman never even happened, than it is to acknowledge it with perhaps some misguided CGI?

There are ways to acknowledge previous incarnations exist other than the stunt they pulled here. They used an actor's likeness without their consent. That's wrong. It's really that simple. No amount of pointing out the positive attention it'll bring to the show will absolve the moral bankruptcy of the studio's actions

@@sahb8091 No, the reason they skipped over it, was that they probably edited the explanation out. Stopping the murder should have been the focus. Not the shopping trip. It makes things "neat" visually when you see the ending scene, but it's incomprehensible. Knowing Barry's Mother is stabbed in the kitchen, requires certain assumptions of time/location/opportunity. It's not as simple as having his dad drive away, the killer had motive/opportunity even if his dad is in the room to stop the killer. Potentially, the killer could have chosen to kill witnesses, ie. Barry's Dad and Barry himself. Barry is after all, a Forensic Assistant, unless Warner Bros / DC changed his career path ?? They recreate the lightning strike in a laboratory ... did they move the lab location so the age of Ezra Miller would work out better ? If Adult Barry, i.e. Barry 1 stays to watch his mother survive or intervenes, Adult (sic) Barry 1 would be a stalker and potential suspect, if the detectives trace the supermarket footage and eyewitnesses of a strange 20 year old watching the house from behind a tree or something. If Barry stays to check that the murder does/does not happen, it could just change the course of events further. Frankly, it's odd that Forensic Detective Barry Allen... would not stay around to observe who the original criminal was. It's been a LONG ASS TIME wondering who the murderer was, enough for it to influence your career choice. Decades of wondering why the police were inept, et al. And ending up in whatever situation the movie would manufacture i.e. foster care or out of state with relatives, etc. If it's Reverse Flash, the story requires certain events to be shown. Namely that Barry 1 AND Barry 2 shows up to allow fate to transpire. ie. Reverse Flash waits for Barry 1 to leave, thinking everything has been set right, Kills his mother, leaves, Barry 1 realises nothing changed, and goes back earlier to intervene with Barry 1, and invoke a showdown with RF. Then there's 3 Barry Allen's, sic. Butterfly effect really does not make sense that Flash affects the Kal'el / Zod timeline if the events happened ... in space. Explanations would require a fundamentally different universe or some prescient use of Fate Magic to resolve how or why this should/could happen if it's consequentialism. Speed Force usually has some kind of Magic effect in place, i.e. will/control of destination, transitive power on real world physics, etc. If Superman is murdered in Smallville, It's an opportunity for Time-Travel to go back and fix this too. Or, at least to rescue Kara from Russia and prevent that Red Son/Red Daughter storyline(s).

Fun fact: They been kicking around the idea of a flash movie since the late 90s - Early 2000s. Originally, Vin Diesel and Rob Cohen were attached to the project. Let that sink in: There's an alternate reality somewhere, where Vin Diesel is Barry Allen or Wally West

"Oh Barry can run at speeds faster than time but it doesn't cause catastrophic damage to the ground he's running on or explode the air around him because the speedforce told us not to worry about it anymore."

To be fair, looking into it, most of the people involved either didn't press charges, or the situation is so complicated that you can't just go "Arrest him on the crime of having a creepy relationship with my son and allegedly asking to sleep in the same bed as him." Like, he was actually charged for burglary, but he wasn't charged for assaulting the woman because she didn't press charges against him.

Flashpoint has always been a frustrating storyline because the way they make it work (in the cases I've seen) is just the action of time travel affects all parts of that timeline, so stuff way further back than when they arrived will be different too so to me it doesn't matter if he goes back again to let his mother die because everything's going to change again when he tries to go back to the present day. He would essentially have to constantly travel through time until he lands on a timeline that he likes which is extremely unlikely but movie gotta movie.

The only exception is like an Isekai style story where you have a character transported to clearly a different world than our own. That works because that premise relatively speaking is a lot easier to conceptualize than multiple timelines or multiverses where it can get really confusing if you aren't clear cut.

I don't understand why its so hard to just write that Barry can transfer the speed force to things that he is touching. His power isn't running super fast, it's accelerating himself by applying a separate force of physics to his body - why couldn't he just do that to his clothes and people he's rescuing? This would also fix the problem of catching people at high speeds = death, because the Speed Force is entirely resetting their momentum rather than just applying an equal and opposite force against it. Is it entirely because the writers want to play wink-wink nudge-nudge with the audience by preempting their stupid gotcha moments? Does that entirely bite their ability to have Barry use his powers creatively in the ass? The world may never know...

What pissed me off is that, during the fight against Zod, Barry 1 goes "they're stronger but we're faster, we can't beat them but we can distract them" and then like 10 seconds into the fight Barry vibrates his arm through the one kryptonian's chest, killing him instantly.

Interesting how Patty Jenkins says everyone sees their movies as a follow up to the Snyder Cut, James Wan himself saying that as promotion for Aquaman, despite the contradictions

Batman uses the word "retrocausal" in order to evoke the comic's explanation of time travel in which changing an event in the "time stream" literally sends ripples forwards *and* *backwards* through time, like literally throwing a rock into a stream which sends ripples in all directions, not just forwards. Whether thats how time works in this film, I'm unsure as I've not seen it, but in the comics it wasn't necessarily an "alternate universe" situation like in Dragon Ball but more that changing the time stream changes things in both directions

I swear there needs to be a whole lecture/ memo sent to writers about superpowers and being consistent with limitations. Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorite fantasy writers and the creator of the term "Hard magic": magic with rules. And he gave three rules, and one of them is Limitations > Capabilities. We like it when characters have clear cut limitations because it gives them an obstacle to overcome; instead of ramming through ships, like Captain Marvel or Superman(Seriously, don't ever put that in your story; it reduces tension so much) and reducing stakes/ tension. In the case of the Flash movie, they had an opportunity with caloric intake at the beginning. You could have worked with that. Maybe, Barry's calories are consumed when he taps into the Speed Force? Maybe time traveling or moving very fast in that hyper time speed, consumes them and thus he needs to consume a lot of food. Thus, he's spending most of his money on food or needs specialized caloric bars(which can cost resources) to eat. You create a limitation where Barry may run out of those bars and in turn without the calories, he lacks the stamina to handle the speed force, and thus needs to use his inate skills to save the day. But no; spectacle over substance. How disappointing.

@basedeltazero714

For example, Tolkien was smart to have a lot of Gandalf's wizard abilities suited for him taking down enemies that none of the Fellowship realistically could handle, like a Balrog, instead of say teleporting the Fellowship as close to Mordor as possible. It's more so how you utilize the magic within your story that matters. For example, Cinderella is actually a good example because the Fairy Godmother gives Cinderella the dress, carriage and everything but there's a limit for how long the spell happens. We don't know how the spell works, but we have a ticking time clock that allows for tension to creep up between Cinderella and the Prince.

Tbh after Ezra’s Tour of Terror across the US, I don’t think the movie would’ve ever had a chance to be well received because their actions cast a huge shadow over the production itself given that they’re the star, so seeing them makes you think of all the various crimes instead of the movie itself

I'm one of those rare people who actually watched The Flash tv series in its entirety. I love CW shows though and they knew how to insert just enough drama with their superhero stuff to satisfy me. A great episode line up is season 3 episode 1+2. In episode 1 of season 3, Barry has saved his mother, and the timeline has changed drastically, multiple speedsters and Wally West is on the scene as Kid Flash in this timeline. Barry begins losing memories from the previous timeline as events that didn't happen are slowly getting replaced and destroyed entirely. Near the end of episode 1, we find out that it's Flashpoint. Episode 2 he tries to reset the timeline, let his mother die, and try to see if everything fixes itself, but it doesn't. During season 2 iris and her father had a lot of srama over Wally and Iris's mother and resolved it quickly . In S3E2, we find out they are still fighting over iris's father keeping her mother a secret, and Cisco's brother died in this timeline. Cisco becomes the stupidest character for like 9 episodes until he drops it, all because he wants Barry to create another flashpoint for Cisco's brother. The show did time travel the best they could, alternate timelines, extra dimensions, etc etc. The movie on the other hand was horrible. I tried watching it and the first 5 minutes are pure cringe. When he's doing that weird modeling stance as the flash, and then all those teenage girls start screaming at him, the movie died right there and then for me.

Stop relying on the same formula to beat enemies, allow characters and relationships to grow and mature... and if you have any episodes left over (like, you only need 9 and 11 for each "season", so you have 2 left over), instead of filler episodes to bloat the storyline, just shift it to the end and have fun with a "What if...?" storyline that isn't in continuity, just a fun standalone story.

It says that Barry time traveled back in time in his own universe so he could bring his mom back but then says that the time that he went to with younger Barry actually has a different past than his own universe which means that he in his own universe his mom still dies. It's basically trying to convince the audience that Barry time traveled when in reality he just hopped timelines but it also implies that by him going back in time to let his mom die the other timeline never occurs so this implies that Barry never actually time travels but rather can bring the multiverse in and out of existence at the snap of a finger and that's super messed up and confuses me so bad since none of it makes sense.

A few fundimentals about this movie that set it up to fail is that Barry's mom isnt guarenteed to live just because he stopped his dad from going to the store. If it was reverse flash who killed her than likely this would either change nothing or both his parents would be dead. If it was just a random person it still isnt guarenteed that his dad can somehow stop this person. Also this film alters the flashes powetset and personality to the point where he's not even the same character anymore. The flash in this universe is demonstrated to have nearly super strength moving cars and objects far too big for what he would normally handle, and his speed is so destructive and reality altering it can't be used for any of the same purposes it is in the comics and cartoons. He can't even save people with it. It has been reduced to basically a time travel power, something the flash does very rarely in other media because 1 it is difficult and it takes him a long time to become that fast and 2 its dangerous. In this film the time travel is so much more prevelant than the speed to the point where when bruce dies in combat his method of saving him is to repeat the battle despite already knowing that time travel to change events is catastrophic, Rather than run at light speed to take him to a hospital or something like the flash probably would in any other media where he hadn't been so agregiously misunderstood. ALLLLSOOO linear time travel is what makes flashpoint matter, it means his history is different and its actually HIS life, no 2 barrys. In this movie if he just travels universes than he could just travel back to his and there's acrually no issue. Anyway my gamer rant is over now but i want to see a flash movie where he is more inline with the classic character and uses hisbpowers creatively to overcome his limitations instead of just giving him random invulnerability and strength and effortless time travel.

When you're hearing cheering whenever the main character gets maimed, you know how rough it's gonna be

The flash and my unrelenting pain for the fumble of DC What a sick joke

Okay as far as I know they did not use any deepfake or ai stuff for the cameos of the old crossovers. In an article they said they were searching for scenes on youtube and cleaned them up before using them in the film. Idk but that just feels even worse to me Edit: I looked it up again the scenes were cgi it seems like but they were actually using audio clips from youtube videos. The audio team confirmed that they searched old youtube videos and stuff to try and get the audio from them.

Couldn't they have just gotten a Blu-ray or something if they didn't have the footage? Like, every KZread has image compression on it to some degree, so you'd think that going to KZread would be a last resort. It's why KZreadrs normally buy the DVDs or Blu-rays for their deep dives.

Brilliant video essay sir! 🙌💯😃

Just started watching your vids i already love your names for em

Honestly as a massive fan of Barry Allen's Flash I just have so little interest in this film and probably won't ever see it. From Ezra Miller just... being Ezra Miller, to the shoving in of a Flashpoint style story and all the nostalgia bate of things I don't care about, I just had no interest. The Flash TV show early on began to build out Barry Allen's world, but by the time we got to season 2 things like his regular rogues gallery were being put into other shows or just vanished, and in general I feel like the baseline of Barry Allen's universe or at least what I associated with it from the comics was pretty quickly disappearing from the show. I wish we got a Flash film about Barry Allen's day-to-day life more in-line with the comics, so no team Flash, no Iris as his step-sister, no time travel, just him traversing Central City and balancing his civilian life whilst the Rogues are on the loose. I'm so tired of stories focused around the speed force or his mother, I think its relied on too much for Barry's character and the Rogues are such a fun concept that I feel the show dropped the ball on. It could be a much smaller intimate story whilst also having really inventive and fun action scenes, from Barry's powers to also the Rogues, I mean Mirror Master could be such a cinematic villain.

I think the teason why Barry's clothes didn't burn when he saved iris was because he barely ran in that scene

This. The Flash has problems, but there are answers, even if as context clues. And this is from someone who HATES the movie, mind you. The reason the babies, dog, and nurse are unaffected is because the Speed Force projects outwards. Normal humans can be affected, but they do suffer side effects... The vomiting, for instance. You can't just whip them around, but you *can* dampen the effect of hyper speed. But "movie bad lmao" is more funny and gets more clicks, I guess.

@@sadchild9478 Context clues within the movie itself, combined with previous movie circumstances that Barry is put through. There's no excuse for it to not have been better-defined or even explained, and I say that having the personal belief that not all things need a direct explanation within a movie. If you notice, when Barry manipulates objects to be on his "timescale", there's a shift in the color of his 'lightning'. They get zapped by blue, rather than his suit's orange/gold. The same blue that normally protects him, if not his clothing, when he's out of the suit. When they do, it seems that they get a small amount of protection from the superspeed he exerts on them. Or, maybe the movie is just inconsistent for a gag about microwaving a baby, I'unnolol.

You can't make 2 universes off of a distinctly similar *DIRECTORS* Cut with minor additions its insane

Subbed. These video titles are just too good not to. The videos are equally as fun and entertaining.

Accusations of johnny depp and jonathan majors got them both dropped but since ezra is part of the club they didnt do jack shit even with hard evidence of his crimes literally caught on camera💀😪

true.

Faith is what is asked of you when your best interest is not at heart.

This movie's explanation of Timelines just seems to be talking about Alternate Universes. This would be so much easier to understand if they just said that Barry went to an alternate universe instead of timeline. I don't know why, but its much easier to understand like that.

Sigh, when I saw the name of the channel I thought the entire review would be in Palpy voice.

Honestly, I apologize for misleading you. I will work to do better in the future.

It's funny how the film studio thought anyone would give a crap about the flash. Especially after Ezra's escapades

They 100% made all the cgi bad in the speed force to cover up the bad CGI cameos. All so the director could say “oh nah it was all supposed to look bad, it was a style choice I swear”

I feel like the only thing i've seen with a similar time travel logic as this is Edens Zero where "big" time travels are hopping to whole nother universes. Though short rewinds aren't.

i can’t believe the flash movie that got canceled before this was a wally west flash movie made by the same directors as the SPIDERVERSE movies and had ryan reynolds play wally.

Its kinda funny how they copied several plot points from the Flashpoint animated movie and did it all worse.

I was honestly hoping barry had to be the one to actually kill his mother for some reason😂 not moving a can of tomato sauce

I think the real reasons why they chose not to use conventional time travel is because A. Marvel was doing a similar thing despite being terrible (loved your Doctor Strange 2 video btw), B. They wanted to use Keaton, which sucks to me since Jeffrey Dean Morgan played Thomas Wayne in BVS specifically so he could be Flashpoint Batman, and C. They intentionally made the rules the way they did so that most people just wouldn't question it. Jargon does have some hypnotic tendency for people who don't understand these concepts. Also, your points with Batman only further justifies why Andy Muschietti is one of the worst choices for The Brave and The Bold, especially since it's based on Grant Morrison's masterful comics run, which is effectively the opposite of this movie. I genuinely think that the gave him the job for no other reason than last minute marketing to please the Twitter cultists and because Gunn seems to be good friends with him. I hope The Flash's poor financial performance gives WB reason to remove him from the project, but I know that's probably not going to happen.

7:22 Exactly this. Cisco also makes barry specific protein bars to keep up with his speedster metabolism and I believe was also working on a way for barry to get drunk too.
