You know what's crazy about the entire film's premise? What happened if the Flash just looked through time, you know, like they demonstrated, to the moment of his mother's death to find the killer's exact identity this way? Then it would just be a matter of working out how he's going to prove the killer was the one who truly did it now that he has the identity

[@Kai_Laddekricht]

The whole premise makes no sense anyway. Assuming it was 1.) just a common burglar who broke in, happened to come across Barrys mom and kill her. Why'd anyone suspect Barry's father? He was buying the tomatoes, didn't he have a receipt to prove that he wasn't at home during that time? Couldn't he just tell the police to go to the store and have the cashier give him an alibi? What about the cloth he was wearing? They were identical to the cam footage. There was absolutely nothing that indicated that he murdered his wife. What about finger prints? So many plot holes and unanswered questions. And even IF he had been at home during that time. Did Barrys father actually fuck the killer up when he came? Why does Barry's father being there change anything? Nothing is ever explained. Assuming it was 2.) Eobard Thawne like it was hinted at... Why would he not kill Barry's mother even when the father is at home? There's is literally nothing Henry could do, nothing, he would literally have to fight against an unhinged, evil speedster. So why does Eobard spare Barry's mother in case the farther never leaves the house to get tomatoes? Why in the hell would Barry put the tomatoes in the shopping cart in the first place? He doesn't know how his mom died, what if several criminals broke in, then his mother and his father would have been killed. Why endanger not just his mom but his father, too? Why does Barry not go to the moment his mom dies, just like you said to find out what actually happened, just wait on the perpetrator... He is a freaking speedster. No one except for Thawne would stand a chance against him. The killer turns up and Barrys incapacitates him in an attosecond without his parents noticing anything. The whole thing with the tomato can is so random and makes absolutely no sense.

[@jasonalen7459]

That would have led to a way better premise if they'd gone down that route. I'd be down for Barry doing some actual crime investigation shenanigans with Batman to track down the killer.

[@hyzmarca2737]

@@Kai_Laddekricht Because the police don't care if he's guilty or innocent. Their job is to put someone in jail, he's someone, so putting him in jail is their job. That takes them five minutes of work, while investigating and finding the real killer would take them months of effort. Like, the opening scene where everyone makes fun of Barry for actually caring establishes this. As for Thawne, the reason why he doesn't kill Barry's mother in the revised timeline is that he was never born. Eobard Thawne is a time traveler from the 25th Century. In the revised timeline, Zod exterminates the entire human race in 2013. This is what actually saved Barry's mother's life. The father's presence didn't actually matter, but because moving the tomato can also killed Superman, Barry's mother was saved. This is also why the Barrys cannot defeat Zod no matter how hard they try, because if they do so then Thawne will be born and will kill Barry's mother. As for why Barry didn't confront the killer directly instead of doing the convoluted thing and hoping that it worked out, I don't know, I guess because that with so many different characters to juggle already they didn't have time to properly use Thawne but also didn't want to rule him out as being the killer.

Otherwise he would've been force to stop for a moment and think about what he's doing........like the possibility of going back a full day rather than only a few minutes to save Batman and Supergirl.

[@ultimamage3]

Here's one more: Barry and Terry going back in time every single time would make more duplicates of them, because Barry was always separate from his previous self whenever he went back using the Chronobowl.

[@Success-rebirth]

Here's another : why aren't there multiple edgy Terrys ..since he kept going back and mostly kept duplicating himself ..so wouldn't there be multiple edge terrys 🤔

[@franklinturtleton6525]

Here's another one that YMS Adum pointed out. Since Scary Terry killed Terry, wouldn't Barry also die to the paradox? Since the reason given as to why there are 2 Barry's is that Terry will eventually "fade into" Barry when they reach the same age or when Barry goes forward in time to when Terry is his age because they're the same person, so Terry is just young Barry meaning Barry should also die when Terry dies. And another one for you. If Scary Terry has been trying again and again, why wasn't he there when Terry and Barry were trying the first time? Why did he wait until Barry "gave up" to come back and kill Barry, which would have still killed him with the time paradox because he's an older version of Terry who is also the younger version of Barry. Oh I thought of another one. When Terry fails to phase earlier, like with falling down the manhole, he gets his head caught in the manhole. Then he phases again and falls through without the manhole permanently affixed to his throat. When Terry and Scary Terry get metal phased into their flesh and then phase again they just keep the pieces of metal in their body. Like Kryptonian metal is somehow a speedforce-altering material.

[@ChiefWombatCuddler]

It's the writers/directors trying to be clever since the song's message is that the world is filled with countless tragedies you're just supposed to accept. But yeah, the way it gets the point across by having a prostitute and thug kill each other is pretty disgusting. This whole film has some nihilist vibes to it, in spite of the whole "build your own future" spiel from the previous film that almost spits in the face of nihilism. But then again most film makers in general now a days are in love with making subversive deconstructionist material, so it's probably very blatant. Will elaborate that yes, deconstructionist art and philosophy used to be celebration of old tropes, while trying to put them into modern contexts that refute modernist culture and polity. Hence why I decided to say subversive deconstructionism, because they lambast and explore, but they never build upon it.

BUT, then he and his AI partner get caught up in a strange phenomenon they come to call "The Knot", where at least a dozen timelines are all tangled up in an unnatural way! the AI says, "i've been analyzing the data, and i've just realized, we were wrong. about EVERYTHING." the protagonist says, "you mean...an alternate timeline where that slaughter at Alexandria happened still EXISTS?" so then they try to go home, only to find that THEY are stuck in the WRONG timeline... and it gets MORE complicated from there!

I thought the whole point of speed force was preventing the Flash's powers from being a destructive force. Kinda obviously important part of his powers as you can see how hard they struggled to make him save people without it.

[@Pellz]

It was a kaviat that just didnt need to be there considering he did that anyways on more than one occasion. In the Snyderverse Barry litterally full charges a store robber which is canon. That guy is logically very very very very dead. He moved those babies granted as little as possible but if Terry moving Barry not even a couple feet made him regurgatate his insides moving babies in any sort of fashion wouldve killed them. That one in the microwave surely wouldve splattered inside it considering it was moving at superspeed. And all in all this makes Barry's power a pretty humungous glass cannon. If Barry is incapable of moving people that would make him utterly useless in a large amount of situations unless they specifically required lethal force and if superspeed messes up humans moving any sort of inanimate object at superspeed with highly volatile lightning around him would immediately cause it to disentegrate

[@Vexizz]

The technology on his wrist working at super speed actually does make sense (probably) because the Speed Force would need to accelerate everything Barry is touching to allow it to move in sync with him, otherwise he'd tear his own clothes off his body. But also these movies both do and don't allow Speed Force to make conveniences pretty inconsistently, because friction from the air will still damage normal clothing, and also touching objects and people at high speed switches from being safe or dangerous as the scene demands.

If you change something in another universe, then you don't change yourself and your universe is preserved. This is represented in Marvel's time travel. Novikov's principle of self-consistency is also well shown in the film "12 Monkeys" when you travel through time in your universe, but you cannot influence the situation in any way, since your intervention has already been taken into account.

Christopher Reeve’s Superman moving fast enough to reverse the earth’s rotation was a design choice for that version and hasn’t carried over to the comic version.

Like imagine the killer was actually someone he knew present day, maybe someone he trusted and looked up to (which they'd establish early on), and they were keeping it secret this whole time that "It was me, Barry". Going a little further, what if the killer was actually someone who later becomes Reverse Flash (the DCEU version, perhaps with a different identity than the one we know) in the same movie, thus bringing usual Flash lore full circle in a unique twist.

[@rodster811]

@@santosic "Have be someone who isn't the reverse flash yet" That was something I was thinking about after watching the film. This would have been a better angle in my opinion.

Hearing madvocate call out all the reasons why speedsters are never properly written is comedy gold

[@Scurwesyn]

They call him Madvocate because he went insane after experiencing all the Flash content. Godspeed you madlad.

[@FriendlyDarkwraith]

Where's Madvocatar, who travels back in time to stop him from reviewing the first season of CW's The Flash and ruining his life, but then realizes that would erase himself from existence, so he instead tries to kill the original Madvocate to stop him from needing to finish the series and review every season, thus sparing him great suffering?

[@becuaseimbored3481]

36:24 Why didn't they make Barry lose his powers once he exited the sphere? Like whatshisface could've hit him with a science beam and he stopped time traveling, but due to the beam he couldn't use his superspeed?

[@theelder4797]

Lol science beam, that's great 😂👍

Clearly, you don't understand science beams...

[@vortozan5395]

People actually getting mad at this guy reviewing CW and talking about it’s inconsistency’s???? Why!?! He’s literally a massive fan of super speed done right, just accept criticism, realise the faults, raise awareness of it and then boom. More movies/TV-shows with marginally or majorly better writing. It’s a win-win. Also that avatar guy that messaged you on discord is just a troll.

I still can’t comprehend WHY zod was even ON earth in first place🤦🏻‍♂️🤣, like they just completely overlook fact that I’m MoS, the whole reason zod FINDS earth, and Clark, is BECAUSE Clark activates the scout ship in the ice, and the ship sends beacon to zod’s ship, otherwise zod was literally light years, and galaxies away lol, so if Clark never existed, and none of that happen, how does zod just randomly stumble on earth😂, and using the “they followed, or found destination out on krypton” argument dosent work either, cause if that’s case, why’d they wait 30 years🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 it just makes no sense they re create MoS ending, WITHOUT the story leading up to it EXISTING 🤣🤣🤣

[@faded5886]

I feel this barry has an excuse to not always use super speed seeing how he needs to actually worry about conserving energy instead of eating a magical energy bar that gives him the energy he needs to run

[@TerrenceNowicki]

For some reason he needs a special watch to tell him when he's hungry instead of just being able to figure it out on his own. The lighting strike that gave him his super powers had the unfortunate side-effect of also giving him a neurological disorder that makes him incapable of recognizing the sensation of hunger.

Why not just keep a shitload of protein shakes and MRE’s with him at all times. Store them in the titty padding the way Terry stored that stuffed monkey.

[@Pellz]

@@TerrenceNowicki I think Barry knows when he's hungry or not but maybe a superspecific number of calories is needed to maintain certain levels of speed which is why he needs to monitor it. But even so its still wack considering Barry shatters lightspeed on a consistent basis and would basically need to cause world hunger to do half the things he does

[@sambhawmaharjan8562]

Barry and his mom's interaction at the end also has a forth huge issue. When he switches the soup can at the end he uses superspeed inches always from his mom's face, replaces the can and get back to the same position and his mom doesn't even flinch even though the start of the movie clearly shows using superspeed in someone's vicinity doesn't mean it not noticeable.

[@Pellz]

The concept of superspeed in media usually does this though they want it to look really sick visually but want it to work to their advantage they do this in the show as well. Sometimes people dont notice the blinding orange lightning right in front of their face when Barry wants to be sneaky but during the action its a very visible perceived notion of how it works. I always never understood why they didnt just say that at slower speeds Barry can conceal his lightning.

[@sambhawmaharjan8562]

@@Pellz ya but none of the version go out of their way to create chaos like Ezra's version does. It interats with its surrounding (mainly metal) creating unnecessary sparks and sound. Its easeir to dismiss this in other versions but in this one its not since the real time footage of Ezra is chaotic as hell. Maybe Snyder had no plan to create this type of scene in his universe hence he designed flash this way.. but this movie could have easily worked around it or toned it down since it neglects or aspect of Snyder's flash and lets him relocate people

[@MrPerser]

Can't get over the fact how much money they threw out. Why use so many VFX shots? They literally made Flash a floating head on a CGI body.

I'm honestly so glad Madvocate is doing an S5 video for The Flash. I'm genuinely excited to see him destroy that season's writing lmao.

Honestly I think S5 was the most sensible season. (Still Ridiculous mind you) but at least for Cicada there was clear and direct reasoning why Barry wasnt insta KO-ing him

[@ctdaniels7049]

The Flash would've been, in my opinion, the funniest movie to become Lost Media. Warner Bros should've canned this whole thing for the tax break and said "We were gonna do a multiverse thing with the Flash, but we realized it wasn't a reboot nor a Flashpoint reset, so it was a waste of resources."

[@DanialTarki]

41:40 The good faith assumption, and the only one in my eyes, is that the regeneration for the hole in the chest is a one-time thing for when he acquired the powers. Then again, present Barry should have mentioned/acknowledged faster healing established in Snyder Cut.

[@malikpierre-louis3343]

Well the problem is that Barry should be dead since He can't regenerate. The lighting bolt being a one time thing doesn't answer that .

[@GOODYGOODGOOD789]

1:23:28 I may also note that the whole "The family gave us permission to use the actors again" was a lie by Warner Brothers so even if that excuse wasn't terrible (which it is terrible) it still wouldn't work because it's untrue.
