Would he die if he tripped?
>hurr speedforce
This is why flash sucks
The speedforce keeps him from tripping? I've heard of it doing a lot of things, but not that specifically
Speedforce protects him when he does trip. I think that's what that anon was talking about. So he's not scraping his body along the ground or hitting stuff doesn't break his body. It's just a way to protect speedsters and people they're saving.
bible re-tellings
read them?
Why don't you just spoonfeed me you lazy fricks
Why? You already don't like the character and have pre-conceived notions about him that aren't going to change. Any explanation I give you, you wouldn't give a shit about and you'll just shoot down anyways.
If you actually give a shit then reading it yourself is the best way to go
>Asks to be spoonfed
>Calls people lazy fricks
Oh boy.
What if the flash was poisoned with something to make him constipated you can't speed up constipation
You could just... read them and find out yourself
What if they gave Flash depression you can't speed force pain away
>can literally run so fast he fricking stops time
>can't just go to a fricking therapist.
these super heroes really are fricking moronic, also how the frick is anyone even remotely a threat with super speed so fast you can literally freeze time? fair enough other speed users but come the frick on bootleg mr freeze freezing the ground isn't gonna do jack shit.
>Done!
I understood that joke
That's why the real main character should be Captain Boomerang. An absolute madlad who fights a man who can run at the speed of frick you with bent wooden sticks.
I love you Captain Boomerang. You are an inspiration. I want a storyline where you get hit by one of batman's stray batarangs, get a concussion and assume that you are Captain Batarang. Wander around trying to combine stoic batmanning and being a faintly racist australian caricature / drunk with a fixation on sports equipment.
C'mon. You know full well that there have been less moronic additions to the bat family suggested than this.
sadly enough your not wrong, is it bad that I actually want an aussie bogan shitpost hero captain boomerang?
>I'm the fakkin knoight wankas
>you c**ts robbin the fakkin bank in broad daylight? you got some big balls doin' shit like that fakken hell you'd be better off robbin' a servo for meat pies and golden gay times
>oi knock that shit off you dumb drongo c**t, that's not on, fukken ciggy butt brain
>nah ya fricked in the head mate, dressing like a fakken clown coz you got touched as a kid at the circus? get over yourself ya big sook
No, because that idea is fricking rad.
Following on from Captain Batarang though, it's definitely bad that the first place I thought of going with it is having his australian slang get more and more impenetrable until an actual australian is brought in to translate for him him and they just explain that it's nonsense and he's talking like that because of the concussion.
Flash villains are preptime gays who cheese the meta. It’s not like cap boomerang just runs up to flash in the street throwing boomerangs at him
Flash can easily look for them and liquefy them with an infinite mass punch faster than they can blink
why the frick would he ever do that
Flash is on friendly terms with his rogues gallery. They’re like if all if Batman’s rogues were Catwoman (except Flash doesn’t frick them). He has no reason to kill them
He doesn't even have to kill them, he can incapacitate them just as quickly.
>b-but dey was MiND coNTroLLeD so it makes sense coz da evil slows them down enuff
QUALITY WRITING and they really wonder why comics don't sell, literal schoolyard "that kid" logic who says he has force fields in a wild west gun fight.
Plus, why didn't Flash just dodge whatever got him mind controlled in the first place
>literally can think faster then anyone even without bullshit
>still gets his ass kicked by the stupidest shit possible
>could just not let them monologue, could use super speed to check for traps, could cuff them with power dampeners effectively ending the fight before it even has a chance to begin, could frick with their equipment/tech for those who don't have powers
is it really that hard to use lateral thinking? you don't have to play by their rules, fight smarter not harder the only real threat would be other speedsters if you USED YOUR FRICKING BRAIN
The most legendary page in the history of comics
Why did this panel mindbreak homosexuals so hard?
It's REALLY easy to explain:
The writers suck.
For every writer that says Flash can do everything, there is another that says Flash is merely super fash. Then there is one that says that Flash can think in high speed as well, and others say that he can't.
There is no consistency, thus they merely write him as fast as he needs to be to solve the problem at hand, whether that be stopping a guy with a boomerang or chasing someone through time and space.
even a 10 year old could write a super hero more consistently then these frauds.
you want to make him that stupid fast to fight a big bad universe ending thing? give him a temporary mcguffin deus ex machina that buffs his speed beyond it's limits for day there, I fixed the issue in two seconds without even trying and I dropped out of school and have zero experience, that's how you have your cake and eat it too and I dropped out of school and have zero writing skill, what does that say about so called "professional writers"
> even a 10 year old could write a super hero more consistently then these frauds.
You’re not wrong, but a random 10 year old’s superhero oc would be his and his alone, and not the culmination of decades of writers living in the shadow of writers from the fricking 1930s onwards trying to make their characters work and be compelling in the modern age. Characters like the Flash having contradicting lore is just the beginning of where this geriatric practice takes you.
This is why DC and to a lesser extent Marvel are shit there's no goddamn consistency we need to stop doing legacy characters and start doing single author based stories.
Nah legacy characters are fine. Wally and Barry are both legacy characters. The problem is not retiring and replacing them after a few decades. But of course manchild editors get hands on creative control and make sure the character they grew up with stays alive forever.
So we either take old character and make them OP or we get new character and make them OP. Which one do you want?
Wally was slow as frick when he first became the flash (700mph) and had hard limits on how much he could use his speed or he would pass out from exhaustion. He got faster and learned new techniques over time. If DC allowed characters to retire then there would be no issue with Wally being the most OP character in fiction because they would have phased him out when he hit his peak and had a new kid become the flash, like they did with Wally in the first place.
So again, we make either old or new character OP. DC would need a total reboot to stop being shit. Like purge all of it. All the alt universe and shit, all the power creep. But they wont, and if they did it would get get power crept to what it is or worse anyway.
>DC would need a total reboot to stop being shit. Like purge all of it. All the alt universe and shit, all the power creep
Again?
Yes!
But all of these feats are from before the last reboot....
It's about a normal average joe who just happens to be the fastest person alive (even beating Supes in races) who just wants to do the right thing
I've been reading the Cary Bates 70's/80's Flash and while it is goofy as frick at times, it really is a comfy read
>10 years ago this was considered epic and based
I'm glad this industry is dying
This is why older Flash stories are better, because he can actually have a fist fight with someone back then. God i hate speedforceslop
>God i hate speedforceslop
The term Speedblitz was a mistake.
>Wally brags in a 12 year old comic
>Everyone uses this statement as a baseline for his powers ignoring everything else that's been published since then declaring that Flash is nowhere near this fast
Same with Superman, who people think is a lot stronger than he is. Death Battle wank ruined people’s perceptions of these characters because they just think of them in terms of amalgamated feats across every incarnation
> That's just physics
Frick whoever wrote that, acting as though physics factor into this supershit logic at all.
Even in your pic, he is casually light speed.
Nope. The light was catching up to him until GL could block it.
If the light instantly didn't catch up to him, it already means that he is light speed or very close to it. Otherwise, he couldn't even run from it in the first place.
then was aquaman also light speed because he's outswimming the constructs? are all of GLs constructs light speed?
90% of the time it's jobbing and that's not my opinion, I remember an interview with a writer where he was open about the fact that most villains don't actually stand a chance against Superman or the Flash if written effectively. There example was when the villain goes "here come's the Flash" it wouldn't happen, the villains are beaten before they even know what's happened.
>I remember an interview with a writer
1. What writer.
2. What interview?
Sounds like pure bullshit/cope to me.
Get a life, why would I make up something so basic.
You committed every basic mistake associated with lies. You literally didn't tell us anything about the interview except the conclusion. So even if someone was dedicated to finding it there's no way to look it up.
Even if you're not lying (which you 99.9% are) you could be misremembering it. I can't even tell you how many times I've encountered people who gas-lighted themselves into thinking that a panel said something different than what it actually does.
>The reading order is all fricked up
No thanks.
Good to see a list with a recommended order
Geoff Johns was such a step down from Mark Waid I got burnt out reading the Flash because of him.
That's why it would be better if The Flash was about everything else moving like the Flash except the Flash, he moves like normal.
This has been debunked. Flash time traveled at FTL speeds.

Why is he racing with fricking sonic?
Calculation is wrong according to the scan.
Frickin hell dude
How can those people handle being moved that fast?
[SPEEDFORCE]
When Flashes tap into the speedforce, it creates an invisible bubble around them so that they don't burning everything up with friction.
>I just pulled a headcanon out of my ass to explain away a problem
casualsisters, our response?
>Literally what are Flash stories even about?
WHY DON'T YOU FRICKING READ SOME AND FIND OUT YOU homosexual TOURIST
The truth is that flash never pulls out half of these wank power levels or hax abilities 90% of the time.
Because there wouldnt be a story if he did.
99.9999% of the time.
I refuse to read his comics because it just seems ridiculous that he’d fight a guy with a boomerang or some shit.
I feel like the guy who spams anti-Superman threads is the same guy who makes these low effort bait anti-Flash threads
He loses to a guy that tosses boomerangs about 15-20mph though
