I’ve always enjoyed this story. It can be as edgy as it wants, because it’s literally the biff casino universe that the flash needs to change. No matter what Barry still has hope to change the world through the whole story and I think that’s how he should be written
My last memory of flashpoint is hearing someone who watched the flashpoint movie with a friend saying it was stupid seeing barry scar himself with the failed lightning strike then doing it again.
Yea it doesn’t really make sense. He did it once, didn’t work. He did it again, worked. Never explained what the difference between the two attempts. You’d think that as a scientist, he would have a more scientific approach
ive already read the graphic novel, but your narration and the voice acting made this a whole different experience. this video a great way to recap flashpoint without having to sit down and read it again
I wouldn't mind seeing you do the tie-ins. Also, I think this was supposed to be just a five-part flash story, but DC wanted a reboot and this story just so happened to be the perfect excuse to do it. Either way, the new 52 happened and changed the DC universe and that's how it is. Good video!
As someone who wasn't a big Flash fan this story really made want to invest more into his stories. Saying that reading this the first time and Papa Bruce's letter made me sob like a baby lmao. Great video and an easy subscribe!
One thing I've always been confused about, tho. At the end of Flashpoint here, Bruce and Barry know each other, as they've always had but later in the New 52 JL Origin story, they meet for the first time.
It's because Barry emerged in 2011 and he met Bruce on 06 as of the New 52 timeline, hence why Justice League Origin opens with the "5 Years Ago" banner.
Even outside of comics, you could really find out if you are in an lternate reality pretty quick by asking enough people if they know who Batman and Superman
I prefer everything about the comic over the movie except for the letter. I like it better when Batman takes off his mask to read it from the very beginning showing it was always Bruce reading it instead of Batman and then Bruce when he takes Gaia mask off halfway through.
I have read the comic and seen the animated movie, but I feel like the animated movie did it better because it gives you the idea that Barry is the one who ran back in time. Then instead of waking up in his office and realizing That he doesn't have his flash ring. But then again people do have their own opinions
"... Geoff Johns had all the ideas at DC comics." So true! And that's why I stopped reading DC comics. With the exception of 52, I haven't liked a single comic Johns has written.
A decade to make Reverse Flash the most pointless villain in the DCAMU in contrast to the comic, to say the least, where he revealed that everything was to make himself a living paradox. Then much later, Hell to Pay comes out, and we get a failed attempt to make Reverse Flash significant. The Flashpoint comic is so much better

I like that even though it is edgy, it isn't so much so that it is just ridiculous.
Its funny you mention the Biff Casino universe bc doesn't Thomas fund all of his batman shit with casinos?
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the back to the future 2 reference. Biff casino universe is a brilliant description 😂.
Ah yes, flashpoint. I use to watch the animated movie repeatedly with my brother and sister. Good times

was it chris from oneyplays?

Smokey out here looking like a lumberjack and making the best goddamn comic content on TH-cam.
This was an excellent reading! You're still extremely underrated Smokey.
Keep up the amazing work

The timing and music you added to the second lightning strike scene actually makes it interesting.
I missed these 'What Is' videos❤️💯
It breaks my heart because DCEU Batman won’t have this closure 😢
He should’ve had better movies
Instant classic of yours man, you're amazing!
Thomas says all that in the letter then does a complete 180 and ends up getting Alfred killed
Another GREAT WHAT IS VIDEO!! GOOD WORK!!!!💯 thanks Smokey

I'd highly recommend Mark Waid's run of Flash!

I would like to see you cover of the flashpoint tie ins because that would be fun
Dude looking like Marvel's Buried Alien
Oh yes such an unknown story thanks for filling us in smokey
you seriously need far more views and subscribers. It’s criminal how TH-cam is hiding you.
Don’t give up, I’m sure you will rise up
Would love to see more of this universe, always love seeing the flashpoint batman if there is more, great video as always :)
this is such a good video man, why doesn’t this have a million views
Love the sound effects
Thanks! I think this video has the MOST sound effects I've used.
@@SmokeysVideos I can tell and they’re done really well here :)
New fan. I enjoy your work. I love Flashpoint. I have both Flashpoint Paradox and Flashpoint Beyond. Thomas Wayne Flashpoint Batman is no joke.
The Flashpoint is a great story...can't say the same for The New 52, though
I prefer everything about the comic over the movie except for the letter. I like it better when Batman takes off his mask to read it from the very beginning showing it was always Bruce reading it instead of Batman and then Bruce when he takes Gaia mask off halfway through.
I LOVE U AND UR VIDEOS! NEVER STOP; BEST WISHES MY FRIEND!
Thanks for looking out for me. I was wondering how they got a tiger.

Nice beard bro I'm jealous. Love your videos.
‘Oh Barry… naive innocent little Barry…
IT WAS YOU, Barry. You changed history.’
Love me Eobard Thawne Reverse Flash, his villainy knows no bounds uwu
When Barry's Converge
It was me barry...
amazing video
"It was ME Barry..."
He-hey! I have that shirt!
You have great taste!
How did Flash saving his mother cause superman’s pod to move
Flashpoint was a good story but oh boy the consequences... The result was the New 52 or the beginning of end for DC IMO. DC hasn't been good since.
Killier beard dude
Personally for me Wally west was my flash growing up and honestly Barry Allen was just so boring and really not my favorite character in my opinion.
No one cares
@@jsmxke7058 why do you care what i comment
Kinda crazy seeing etrigon got one shotted
honestly flash point to me aint so much a problem. but i do think dc should have embraced doomsday clock
Hi man do u have more ultimate marvel universe content u didn't upload im looking for your x men part 2 but can't find it
I've got a little something planned for April 👀
@@SmokeysVideos 👌
I love flash point in all iterations but I hate what they did as a result of it
where is ultimate spider-man
Reverse Flash and Professor Zoom are different people
This comic is better than the movie
Why didn’t Thawne use his healing power when Batman stabbed him?
"... Geoff Johns had all the ideas at DC comics."
So true! And that's why I stopped reading DC comics. With the exception of 52, I haven't liked a single comic Johns has written.
Why do the flashes have Federation Starship nacelles on the sides of their head?
it's all thanks to this writer that wally west has no place in DC anymore and Barry had a good send off too
WTF i thought it was drawn by Jim lee

The Flashpoint comic is so much better
There is no audio
Should be working now. TH-cam was still processing the video.
Yo WHAT
Flashpoint is pretty mid.
