I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW OMG. completely off topic, i really like the flash in YJ. i think he’s only in like one episode, but i love his character

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.

He gets beat up by little girls. He's not the fastest man alive, hes the weakest

Even if u give him heavy benefit of the doubt and say his ultra fast reaction times wouldn't be enough to clear his head, the smoke guy literally just teleported out of the car before the window glass even broke. That entire scene was poorly done.

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.

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!" 12. Doctor:"What makes you feel so superior? It it the good House? But Human-Progress isnt measured by Industry, it's measured by looking at a Life. An unimportant Life... a life without privilege. 13. Doctor: "OMG, OMG, OMG, have you heard of Space-Amazon? Amazon is so epic, everyone who disagrees with that is a literal PIG. We should all stop criticizing Amazon forever." I kid you not, they said that. Holy Penguin, wtf. And yeah, Critical Drinker's massive Success with his 'Why modern movies s-ck'-video-SERIES speaks for itself. People DO want Quality back. I dont know how to help but with ONE thing: recommend you all hour-long, much-entertaining Criticism Essays, like Madvocate did with the Flash, Jay Exci did with Doctor Who and Hbomberguys whole channel basically, but especially RWBY. If we support that, we support ourselves.

@@loturzelrestaurant I wasn't referring to the culture. CW is a Soap Opera channel, not a superhero channel. They aren't remotely good at superhero stuff.

@@AtomicPatriot OK 9kokokokkkokokkokk9ookkokokkko9kmkookomomm9k9kok9k

Or just dont and come up with a good idea instead. That's pretty much their only option here. The flash is kind of a dumb concept to begin with.

@@bobjob140 The flash as a TV show with like 22 episodes is very dumb. It probably could work with like 5-6 episodes in a season without all filler bullshit and mostly fight other speedsters.

​@@bobjob140 The flash was actually a good idea for a tv show, it should have just been executed differently. That's it.

@@cris8627 how could it be a good idea? I’m sorry but super speed also gives you slow motion, super strength, go fast enough to fucking take the air out of a small area, time travel, speed force(could be used as a super prison for non speedsters), going through shit. 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.

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

It’s true but he never actually follows through with it

😂💯

But they always run and somehow immediately escape the fastest man alive 😂😂😂

@@alexm2369 Eh debatable

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

Huh maybe that guy was a speedster as well

*poorly manufactured conflict

Writing themselves into corners consistently is a mark of poor writing. One easy thing is to make the Flash slower.

Let's be fair, Any fictional conflict is manufactured conflict, CW is just garbage, always has been. It's not just their writing, watch the intro to 'Star Trek Enterprise'.

@@boblast5582 This video here is literally a 'The Flash Version' of Jay Excis Most Popular video: his hour-long Criticism of Modenr Doctor Who. And theres even a whole channel full of these: Hbomberguy, a guy who's specialized on this thing but he calls them 'Measured Responses'.

I would f**king love a power fantasy where The flash goes around beating everybody to a pulp without giving them chance to breath, that would be better than this s**t hole.

Most powerful dc hero but yeah

@@f4ishal996 The closes one to that is when batman/flash combine in the dark universe series. Where batman with flashes abilities literally ko' every villian in an instant.

In the comic he is so fast that he evacuated an entire city of 500k people AFTER a nuke goes off. The bomb literally explodes and in the time before the explosions hits anything he moves 500k people outside the range of the nuke it wasLess than a pico second. 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

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.

@@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.

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

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. But overall those few cases pretty much anything else is insta "flash im gonna kill you, or your..." aaaaaand he is in jail, just needed the time to confirm he is a vilain and insta sonic punch him, KO, jail, bye

@@Shiirya But this is season 1 so not really

Eh

Bro that whole RPG sequence had me dying 🤣

My favorite is when they finally kill him off in a spinoff show but then they still want to use him so they just pluck an alternate him from an alternate earth whenever they want. WHY DID YOU KILL HIM OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE

That's DC for anyone they kill

@@chuckbatmangaming I know right? It's so annoying

Yes

7 is worse than Season 5...

no, he's saying that s5 is so bad that it makes s1 and s2 look amazing

@@karthikeya3591 i know

oh ok. sorry, i thought you didn't get it.

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

Flash: Damn. Slow walking. My one weakness.

There no we’re to run dies by deadly gas

"Okay then I'll walk"

That doesn’t even happen in the show

“There’s nowhere to run, but that doesn’t apply to walking

like, suspension of disbelief is powerful, and i can do it so strongly, to the point where i enjoyed the first 2 seasons, i just didn't overthink it, but after that if you just have a brain it becomes jarring how much it sucks

@@TheAlexandrine with suspension of disbelief the thing has to be good think of rataole (i can't spell it so i doubled down rat chef movie) it's easy to snack something you dislike and if every five seconds you have to suspend your disbelief in new ways it gets jarring (like you said)

Like the first Weather Wizard dude, they could have had Barry break his leg in the car accident and thats why he couldnt do anything for those moments. Then in the Tornado have him floating in the Tornado because of the winds, So Barry couldnt just run at him and take him down. With the multiple Man or whatever. Have it when Barry is using his Super speed the electricity he gives off triggers the duplication powers. Like a reflex from the stimuli. So thats why Barry cant use his speed to hit him, plus it only increases his opponents.

@@dexnacorn7807 You could have googled rat chef movie ( just did so I know I ain't speaking giberish ) to see the movie name and copy it by hand or control c control v

@@lenakauan that a lot of effort for basically nothing

Lol

😂😂😂🤣🤣😭😭

bro, 🤣

Damn. I read that in his voice. You’re evil

The flash: there's no where to run... *villian I didn't hear what u said I'll c u l8er

CW hires writers that need experience, that's why. Diversity hires as well. So...

@@anti1training Except season 1 was good and again people would complain that he is too slow or something

@@tobsonasanya4765 except it wasn't good from a writing perspectice. It's only good when you compare it to other more shit. The point is that if they needed to nerf Flash, they should have found a better way to nerf him rather than just losing brain cells at convenient times.

@@angelreyes8714 I guess sometimes the villains used civlians as a distraction. I kinda excuse it since it is season 1 barry when he was a bit more careless

@@angelreyes8714 Eh season despite it s flaws was good but season 2 was the shows peak

"how? the enemy is just too strong" "u just gotta run faster barry" "omfg mind blown" *defeats enemy with five times the speed*

@@bamjamw Season 2* Everything went to shit in Season 4. Season 3 was the last tolerable season.

That doesnt even make sense :|

Isn't that crazy 🤣

you know whats funny about that line "i am the fastest man alive", is that legit every speedster shown is faster than barry, i think there were 3 he was faster then, "the rival", "jessie quick" (though technicaly shes a women so different category) and jay garrek...

@@levi7492 lol I just like the flash whichever one it is in the moment no matter how fast or slow the plot needs him to be

@@williegt.a.n386 thats fair, no matter how inconsistent he is, i still love it and keep up to date with it.

@@levi7492 you forgot Wally west

the famous "hallway counseling sessions"

They actually started making a joke in-show about it. They start setting up turns to be who talks to the character currently sulking

The writers of the flash were inspired by naruto's talk no jutsu

"I'll go talk to him" Or "Barry can I talk to You for a second?"

Why is that soooo fricking true?!?!

Write it down writ it down

That's what I and few other people in the comment section thought of, too. But I guess writers of this show didn't thought this way.

@@lakshaykochhar6799 Yeah even though they get paid to write shows :/

Its hard to control that many dublicates

@@mathiasffischer5987 In the finale he makes at least 50, he could have 10 crews of 5 at different locations, robbing banks, holding hostages, whatever. It's literally shown he can control that many duplicates in the ending.

@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

bruh in season 4 he stopped time in season 6 he got fucked up by ultraviolet whose blasts are 'faster than him' and in season 7 he gets raped by godspeed clones who run at match 5 wich doesnt make fucking sense since he got the speed boost from the forces and anyways he still isnt 'fast enough' to fuck up some clones

@@sezo1d174 that’s exactly my point. At this point, only other speedsters should be able to fight Barry. However, even these Godspeed clones shouldn’t be fast enough to do so

@@nathansarfo1768 dude the writers of fucking show dont make sense sometimes literally they make him shit af like wtf man if hes not fast enough after all that shit that happened on season 4 that he unlocked his full speed he literally got fucked by devoe the guy who is the smartest they say barry can fast think and he cant fucking predict where hes going and how the fuck does zoom catch him in season 5 he literally destroyed him in season 2

I'm gonna blow your mind there are 3 more

Your not wrong and the speed of the bullets makes it look like he should be able to literally pick them out of the air.

@@coballard5334 yeah

The Boys did it right. A-Train just oblitertated that girl he accidentally hit.

@ I thought the boys handled it a lot better

There's actually something called the speed force aura that protects him and the people and things he carries from being damaged. If you removed that he'd be breaking things and killing people accidentally all the time. It just wouldn't work especially for a superhero tv show.
