Dang. Most of this could’ve been avoided/improved if they added a scene in season 1 where Barry ran in and punched someone at super speed, only to accidentally kill them.

Or if he wasn't so absurdly fast to begin with. They should've gradually built up his speed over time, culminating in what we have now.

[@godusopp2752]

they did make him kinda slow in the beginning seasons, like claiming he can only run 700 mph, any slower and it wouldn't be the flash anymore, the problem is they gave him feats of a man who could run faster than light, Also they tried to give him strong overarching villains in the first 3 seasons that's why they are regarded as the best, because the main villains were actually threatening because us as fans couldn't say "well barry you move at speeds that make everyone stand still why are you struggling with a super smart guy whos just a normal human other than his brain", but people got tired of the speedster villains

Let go now bitch. 2-Take the gun and keep it held, then take the gun and Snart to Cisco who can easily disarm it, he did build the thing after all. Even if he hadn't, he's so smart it would take him 3 seconds to figure out. Even if he's like "This is impossible to disarm, it has to go off" Barry can run it to the middle of a desert. Snart even says himself Barry can probably outrun the blast. Then Snart is a regular human and Star Labs has holding cells. 3-Just zip Snart to ANY uninhabited area. He won't kill himself for no reason. That was only a viable threat because Barry wouldn't gamble someone's life, and Snart himself said Barry can outrun the blast. So if he sets it off, Snart is the only one who dies and he gets nothing out of this interaction. He'd never do that and they both know it. 4-Just run Iris away then come back.

[@swampson5287]

If anyone wanted to know, I did a calculation on how fast the *Flash* can run in this season judging by how fast he was compared to a bullet (3,600 mph at least) and I remembered that *Zoom* took 2% of the *Flash’s* speed, (at least 3,312 mph now). When the glass is flying at Iris in the car crash scene, debris (including glass) coming off of a car wreck can fly at a velocity of around 55 mph but can also reach as high as a couple hundred mph. So let’s just say that the glass was moving at around 300 mph, the *Flash* is moving approximately 11.04 times the speed of the shard of glass in that scene, so it is so stupid that he struggles and then fails to catch it. But Cisco said he usually runs at 1,500 mph, so that goes to show you that the show ignores its own rules and ignores what it has already shown so far, Barry should be running more than double what Cisco says he does usually.

The show runners do address this. Snart - His gun slows things down the closer they get to him, emitting a cold aura. You would only notice if you were moving at insane speeds though. 2. Speedsters in this show have a weakness based on their intention to act. Their mind decides it, their speed makes it happen. If anything happens between those two points, the speedster still has the continue with this course of action and cannot start a new one until achieving it. This is why Savitar got shot by Iris, he had no way of knowing she had a gun so his speed did not account for the possibility. His course of action was to attack Barry from behind. This is also why Zoom overshoots people while chasing them like Wells Earth 2. This is why Barry waits for oppertunities of distraction to put power dampening cuffs on bad guys with super powers, he doesn't want to be another Savitar. That's how they explained it, and it makes no sense.

[@jacobharris5894]

The only thing I can think of for why he consistently gets hit by things much slower than him is his reaction speed is only super fast when he is using the speed force. So when he has his guard down he is just as vulnerable as anyone else to a normal attack. There’s still a lot of inconsistencies though because there are cases were it clearly is activated and he’s still too slow to avoid something. And like the guy in the video pointed out he doesn’t have to just stop and talk to the bad guy every time. If he just had the speed force activated all the time he would be invulnerable to almost anything.

Honestly there are quite a few villains in the series without super speed who absolutely have potential and reasonable explanations as to why they’re a problem but one way or another their potential is thrown out the window Hunka Hunka is basically Not-Angry Hulk but less OP, but his default state has a normal Human weight so even if fighting doesn’t work Barry could easily Relocate him That Poison Gas guy from the very first season could’ve just been like Sandman and technically ALWAYS be gas but able to look kinda Human sometimes. But we see occasions where he’s punched and doesn’t turn into Gas so we know that’s not how his powers work and he does indeed have a default flesh-based form so Relocation can still work on him Explosion Lady explodes people who touch them so logically neither fighting or relocation should work, but we see people touch her and not explode so times so the power isn’t ALWAYS active meaning fighting and relocation can work Hell even CAPTAIN FUCKING COLD has potential. If he were to say freeze the ground behind him whenever he starts a robbery as preparation for the Flash, this would give the unique setback of Barry slipping and sliding across the icy floor and thus being unable to use his super speed because it’s ineffective. Even Captain Heat or whatever his name is could just set fire to stuff around him if he thinks the Flash is near, creating a literal wall of fire out of burning buildings he’s within, Barry would be unable to fight him because fire fucking hurts and there’s fire between him and Captain Heat Peek-A-Boo or Doctor Light or whoever it was can apparently turn invisible which means Flash has a viable explanation on why he can’t find or catch her but it’s extremely inconsistent on whether or not she needs to take off her clothes to do so Slow-Mo over there, aka Hobo Oswald, can make anything around him super slow, so even if the Flash is around him using super speed he’d only be able to be like at normal person speed so they’re on an even playing field. However the reasons as to why Flash doesn’t immediately Relocate him before the power activated are Stop To Talk and Lack of Object Permanence as always The CW has had SO FUCKING MANY potential instances where many of their non-speedster villains can logistically pose a threat to Barry and they somehow fuck that potential up every single time without fail The only exceptions so far as Sandman and Tar Boy, and like maybe King Shark

The Jay Garrick Flash helmet is based on a WWI soldier helmet, and he had it in the original comics (Golden Age). Also ... The Flash is pretty much the most powerful DC superhero in existence. Not only is he infinitely faster than Superman, but he can punch with the force of a neutron star, a force easily strong enough to kill the Man of Steel millions of times over. The Flash is fast enough to instantly travel from one end of the galaxy to the other, and (in the case of Barry Allen) is LITERALLY the Speed Force, a fundamental force of the universe itself. Other speedsters tap into the Speed Force; Barry IS the Speed Force. This puts his power level on the cosmic scale. To do the Flash justice, you'd need an insane budget of a Hollywood blockbuster for every single episode. The CW never had a chance.

He can grab the bullet because the bullet is a different material and thus has a different resonant frequency. They use resonant frequency to explain why speedsters can phase to begin with.

I remember watching that Captain America film, and it was so cool how when Captain America met the Red Skull there was this huge gulf between them, so instead of instantly fighting as you would expect the two just stood there talking like some kind of classic hero vs villain comic book story or something. If that had happened without the huge fiery gulf between them preventing them from interacting it would have been RIDICULOUS.

I feel like it’d be more logical if Barry stops to talk to his enemies to analyze his surroundings and make up the safest way the defeat the enemy without any casualties or property damage. But really it’s just so he can chat and the villain can use whatever weapons/powers they have to distract the heroes and get away.

[@Matt-ef6pb]

Flash should have caught several meta villains in the first few episodes as he surprises villains and locks them away. Eventually, they break free and flash has become famous. Now all the meta villains plan for the flash showing up so flash has to deal with a lot of traps and villains who use subterfuge, which would involve Barry's education as a CSI

This is why Eobard Thawne hates the Flash so much. He saw the Flash was an absurdly incompetent hero and just became obsessed with murdering him. After failing to murder kid Flash, he decided that he should poorly train the Flash to be so incompetent that he could be defeated in the future more easily. This paradox is what created the reverse flash. It's quite tragic.
