What's wrong with the world, mama?
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world's addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we tryna stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate, then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt, hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
Or would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love, the love, the love?
It just ain't the same, old ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace are so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong?
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself, is the lovin' really gone?
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on? (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on? (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all?
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt, hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
Or would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love? (The love)
Where is the love, the love, the love?
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema, yo'
Whatever happened to the values of humanity?
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality?
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found
Now ask yourself
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?
Sing with me y'all (one world, one world)
We only got (one world, one world)
That's all we got (one world, one world)
And something's wrong with it (yeah)
Something's wrong with it (yeah)
Something's wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah
We only got (one world, one world)
That's all we got (one world, one world) - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
i don’t know how this guy makes so many solid video essays in such a short amount of time at this quality.
Init he is so talented. def one of fav comic/tv show TH-camrs
@@Ry67570 what are some other suggestions?
@@furkankaraca3841 Alec Lennin is a really good TH-camr who mostly talks about Spider-Man comic in depth. And of course there’s cinnawins
It's pretty wild
But I'm glad he does.
Barry's arc in the Injustice universe stems from how he's the kind of person who went along with Superman's regime because he believed that it was for the greater good. Superman's doing all of this crazy shit, but to Barry and even to Clark initially, it was out of wanting to better the world, regardless of what it took. Like you said, Barry's role in Superman's story in this universe was to be the angel on his shoulder, while Clark's guilt and Diana were the devils on the other shoulder. When Clark killed Billy, that was the breaking point where Barry no longer saw Superman's actions are justifiable. Unlike most Injustice characters, Barry's one of the few that has an actual coherent character arc that isn't undermined by any status quo (for this universe), and learning about the Australian boy in the Injustice comics only adds to Barry's character. He stood by Superman because he thought Superman was doing things for the better, but because of personal bias and a mix of guilt and shame, Barry didn't see the writing on the wall. Barry may have not been evil or malicious, but his complicitness in Superman and the League's actions speak louder than words can. I'm glad he's one of the few bright spots in this universe, because Injustice is pretty bleak otherwise.
I’ll be honest the Flash wasn’t one of my favorite DC heroes growing up. Justice League and these videos have substantially elevated my opinion of him.
Barry was the one person in the Regime I could forgive because he was the only one who saw something so horrific that he could no longer deny reality and turned sides. And he turned himself in to boot. He's the fastest man alive and could have avoided capture, but the content of his character was such that he couldn't bring himself to do it. He had to face justice, and he knew it.
This is one of the dark multiverses right? murphy's law did some work here.
@@hellishhybrid1839 besides of course Shazam, who got absolutely destroyed for no reason other than disagreeing, and saying a woman’s name.
That's why he's my favorite Super hero of DC Comics. I seen multiple occasions in entertainment medium that he's depicted as open minded and conscious. He stands out from the rest in my opinion.
"It was me Barry, I used my super speed to sneak laxatives into your lunch so that you would poop yourself in Home Bargains"
☠️
5:54 "What if what happened to Lois happened to Iris?"
This is such a good line, because Barry DOES KILL THAWNE for what he did to Iris and could do next
Barry never killed Thawne for Iris.. he killed Thawne for what he was going to do to his new fiancé, Fiona Webb and it wasn't even intentional.
Wrong. Read the first reply.
but thawne shows up in injustice 2, and survives. When did Barry kill him?
@n2 Actually..... Thawne kills Iris and then he tried to kill Barry's new Fiancé in the exact same way, but then Barry snaps his neck and says "never again"
@@NotMe-vx4vlThey're referencing one of the last stories of Silver Age Flash before the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths.
The flash staying with injustice Superman and him redeeming himself was probably the best part of the injustice story in my opinion.
His reaction to meeting Green Arrow was my favorite scene. He was so excited for the chance to see a friend that had died. It's a wonderful juxtaposition to Superman: in both Injustice and Justice Lord forms
My least favourite part is probably Wonder Woman
@@Deaganus indeed same here as well
@@agenti4734 she felt so out of character in it.
@@agenti4734she was so damn out of character it was weird
Flash is essentially the character the audience resonate with the most . It's what makes the animated movie soo dissapointing that they disrespected him like that
My most favorite Flash moment in Injustice is the scene where Barry and Hal are sitting on top of some bridge, and Barry asks basically 'Are we the good guys?"
And the conversation basically ends with pointing out two questions. Did Superman kill (i think it was Alfred at the time), and if he did, as Hal puts it "Do you think you can stop him?(superman)"
And i think that really boils down just how many different angles there were throughout the entire series, but regardless of the angles, when the big question came up, it was either "Is superman wrong" or "Who can even stop him?"
There were a lot of people capable of stopping him, the problem is that no one wanted to stand up to him until it was too late. Even Shazam, his most ardent defender and someone who literally saved his soul from being sucked out, was discarded at a moments notice.
I seriously love Barry in injustice. You did him good, Implicitly.
Better than the movie adoption
@@somedorkydude6483 I guess you could call him a *_buzzkill_*
Barry is blonde now?
@@yoshidinono8095 Barry has always been blonde?
There was a line from the injustice comic series that always stuck with me. It was during a conversation between Green Lantern and the flash. Hal Jordan is giving his thoughts on Superman's regime. Then near the end, Barry tells Hal "Unless your planning on doing something. You should probably stop asking yourself those questions". That one line from the series run always stood with me.
I wish we got more Super family in injustice, more Steel, More Kara. I wish we could see Superman finally *meet* someone like him in Kara, and how he realizes that she is a person he still wants to be. I wish we saw Steel and Superman fight, Steel staying true to Superman's original vision.
He did meet supergirl in injustice 2
I know next to nothing about the Flash but something about his arc ending with him walking across Australia and helping someone learn to walk again is wonderfully personal and poetic
He didn’t just help someone random walk again. He helped the kid who tried to stand up to Superman and Wonder Woman and had he back broken over 5 years ago in the story.
Barry & Hal’s mirrored paths post-Injustice where one learns to heal and the other survives off self-hate is really interesting
I will say I like how even in the comics and games Barry first decides to fully question Superman over a child being harmed by Supermans hands. You could even say that Barry sees Superman doing what Joker did to him and Metropolis all that time ago.
Though the injustice flash had a character arc and had to answer for the crimes he had committed with injustice superman while also attempting to redeem himself.
Remember that the main world flash is just chilling in the main universe while everyone else was fighting the regime, i wonder what his reaction was once superman was summoned to the injustice universe, was probably mad confused being in the watch tower alone while everyone is just gone.
0:01 now I want an 8 minute video analysis of how that happened to Implicity Prentetious and what he learned from it.
Same
Seeing that comic panel of Barry breaking down from the kangaroo hit like a brick. So much told in so little time.
"Shame isn't just something you get when you get post nut clarity..."
That caught me so off guard.
This is a great storyline, because it really highlights the whole "Good people are capable of evil even if they think they're not" and also, that just because someone does bad things doesn't make them a bad person. Considering the situation they're in is important, yes there are people who's morals never steer them right, but in this case, Barry did his time for what he did, he accepted the consequences of his actions, or more of his inactions, and he tries to atone for what he did. He's not a bad person, just a person in a bad situation, he didn't know what else to do and his moral compass was being seriously skewed.
Flash will always be my favorite superhero.
Flash is such an interesting character. So deep, not just a guys with super powers that runs fast...
Love him.
Poor Barry, all he wanted to do was run
Hey, I just wanted to say that although I've always loved super heroes, Ive kinda got the super hero movie fatigue. Watching your content has revived my love for super heroes. You reminded me of the depth and legacy to these character. The lessons we can all learn. You are a very talented writer and speaker. Appreciate this channel a lot. Been hard times recently and it's these stories and characters that help me get through it some times.
I want superheroes, not disney kid movies or CW teenage drama. I'm tired of constant jokes and stupid action trainwrecks. I want to feel like the superpowered being is teaching me a lesson.
Flash's journey in the injustice universe was pretty insane went from going along losing iris and most of the people, heroes and villains he knew trust and trying to be superman's emotional compass till he killed lex and Billy. After he had enough he defected from superman turned himself in. In injustice 2 he was pardon by batman but he struggled to gain the trust of the people and heroes again. He did thanks to the professor, Bruce and hal who went through hell to get his ring back and now barry has a friend who just like him are working hard to gain the people's trust after what they did.
00:09 Idk man, I'd think I'd rather commit the most heinous of warcrimes than poop myself in a Home Bargains.
The Flash. With a few exceptions, his stories have always been good.
Barry Allen, is truly the worlds greatest hero, the only one who can resonate with friends and enemies alike, this is a fictional story obviously and fictional characters, but I hope I can be as compassionate and good as he is.
And people say he's boring unfortunately
This is why flash is one of my favorite characters
NOW THAT was an ending that felt great, it felt like I just finished a good story, im sad it ended but I'm happy I got to experience it
Listen, your essays are amazing.
But I need, nay demand, that you talk about Starboy and the fatal five movie.
It's one of my favorite DCEU movies and I think a highly underrated one. It certainly has it's flaws but is in some odd way beautiful.
Thanks again for all these great works.
DCAU, DCEU is the Snyderverse
@@toonhub3216 You are entirely correct, I will never forgive myself for this disgrace.
Man I just fricking love your videos they're just amazing. I don't know how you evaluate and pick apart and see through the characters I wish you could teach me how to do that. But anyways don't stop doing this
How do you make me feel ALL THE FEELS when I watch your videos, man?! You’re too good!!
Bro I'm not even that into DC but I can't stop watching your video essays. They are just so captivating!
I seriously look forward to every one of these videos. Good job man on the absolutely astounding quality 👍👍
My new favorite TH-cam channel, your essays always give me more to think about. You appreciate comics the way they were meant to be appreciated, I salute you and your talents
Ngl this feels like a 30 minute video essay that got super condensed into 8
Another wonderful video. You've been making me revisit the subtler gold mines in the Injustice comics.
I'm still baffled that the creators of the Injustice movie decidad to kill Flash at the beginning and only "acknowledging" his death with Batman saying "Flash, come in Flash!" when his comms cut off. After that, Flash is never even mentioned.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG.
I’m proud of you for not mentioning the Flash from the Injustice movie.
Your intro music is such a vibe. Love it so much.
Any video Pretentious makes of a single character makes it feel like they’re the protagonist of that continuity.
My man you're videos are amazing and your music taste is impeccable
Your channel is perfect for those nights by the fire; if that makes sense. Love your work keep it up!!
Meanwhile, the animated movie just killed him off stupidly, none of the other characters bothers to even acknowledge him, except for REVERSE FLASH who we see drinking at a bar, possibly mourning.
"Flash. Fastest Man Alive. But not fast enough to outrun his own mistakes."
What an amazing video, but in all truth, what an amazing essay! Using a (if not the most next to infinity war) widely known superhero storyline whilst explaining the difference between Shame and guilt was a great idea. And very well written to boot
"One step at a time. One foot in front of the other,. Ignore the pain." - Barry Allen, The Flash
3 Videos back to back. I think I'm in love with your channel. Marvellous 👏
Your intro and outro songs keep living rent free in my head
the only person I have the bell on for. amazing as always
I love your Superman videos!! Really any DC character but the Superman ones are the best for me
You are criminally underrated
I'm a bit of a self-professed Flash fangirl. I've read almost all the Flash comics that there are, and I still think that one of my favorite moments of the Flash has to be his game of chess with Superman. It's such a perfect encapsulation of his character. Sure, he COULD do all these things, and maybe he even SHOULD, but would it be RIGHT? Where does it stop? I love that about him. He's just so ruthlessly GOOD.
Dude, thank you.
You are not talking about comics or movies, you are sharing hope and wisdom, one step at the time.
This is classic Barry when he doesn’t have / doesn't listen to the rest of the flashfam.
Flash , the most underrated hero❤
I love the obligatory music tributes at the end
I love this guy
This video make my day.
I love your videos your my favorite person to watch please don't stop them
This is a really good high-quality video keep at it
Impeccable
This was amazing.
Beautiful
It's the intro, that what makes me come back here
the real injustice here is the extreme nerf to flash
Love your videos
I love how this comic runs all your favorites through the wringer. It’s what makes it so interesting.
Like, I cried twice during this run. Once during the issue with Barry dealing with his guilt over letting Superman kill Mitchell and then when Hal Jordan killed Guy Gardner.
Not in continuity? Don’t care. These were still the characters I love and it was heartbreaking to see their downfall.
Phenomenal vid!
Hey Implicit, where do you get your music and is there anyway you could share the playlists or songs you use? I love the vibe of your videos and would love to listen to the songs. Love your work, keep it up. I only found you recently but your content is outstanding and has had a signifigant impact on me. Thank you again.
fire
Good video young chap. You have a bright TH-cam career ahead of you
One of the most frustrating things in life is to find yourself in everything you observe. For me I'm Barry in that I have ideals that differ so differently from those around me that I just stand there and do nothing to fix it. At the same time I'm the injured kid at the end except I don't have flash to help me. I don't have someone to convince me that moving forward is important. That there is a point in the effort itself.
The music choices were PERFECT.
can never go back to that home gardens
2:42
*THE LEGENDS RISE*
The Injustice video essays are coming just in time for Jon Kent to fight the Injustice version of his dad in his Superman series.
Literally the only comic I've seen that has Australia have any impact on the main story
Flash has the potential to be the most horrifying member of the JL is only the writers allowed he to use his powers.
In Injustice Flash could have been the peacekeeper at his own discretion and there would be nothing anyone could do about it.
Omg I can't wait for your next video
Would love to see you analyse how Lego Games present adapted characters … given that they are often parodical versions that still go through the same arcs and emotional events . Would be rlly interesting !
2:02 😂 thank you for that, been having a hard week :(
beautiful video simply beautiful.
"Leads me to ask a more specific question: How do I get one of my balls to stop itching" that shit caught me so off guard
My favorite channel
i love this intro music dont change it
You know Barry could've gone back in time and saved Lois from dying and altered the past
Sometimes one step can be better then a thousand
The homebargins bit got me
Implicitly is one of the few TH-camrs to use “poopoohead” in such a serious tone that makes me nod my head like something profound was said
Bro, you’re intro give 2010 hipster movie intro vibes. I like it.
Yes
just saw the injustice movie and it really did flash dirty.
this was hard asf W video fr
I miss stories like these 🥲
Ill be waiting for a video on wonder woman. More specifically why shes just an out-right villain.
Meanwhile, in the movie adaptation, Barry dies before Lois does.
as an australian people leave kangaroos because they hit cars so much people dont rly go after them they just hop onto the road, can you imaginge late at night having to look out for a speeding human sized bundle of sinew, it's a nightmare idk if I'd stop especially at midnight either
Even in this universe, Barry is my favorite character. He tries so hard to do the right thing, though he fucks up occasionally
as contrived a story injustice can be, i really love characters like flash and super girl, super girl because she gets fed their idolysation of superman and hatred of batman as a blank slate and see what they genuinly believe with all the details of what they done to achieve their utopia would make them seem worse than the evil they stopped, yes even the joker cause while he done unspeakable things, his evil was anarchistic. he was evil for evils sake meanwhile superman his evil was for the sake of subjegation, and also he did directly decide to destroy metropolis and gothem himself so yeah at the end of his descent he was literally just as evil.
but while karas story fits more at the end of the journey, flash works along that journey, not having such a black and white view on things, cause the biggest flaw with injustice is focusing so much on batman not killing joker, like at a certain point someone should really say "it's been a decade clark you've killed more than the joker ever had" and flash is the one regieme member to not use jokers existance to justify the regiemes existance, more thinking killing villains is where the line is drawn and gets uncomfortable at the protests and the government toppling, only sticking by cause crime has been reduced so it's net good.
billys murder being the tipping point is definitely fitting cause the other killings had motive or were against a faceless crowd, but that killing was entirely personal and against a child who not long before saved his life. flash's arc is the best in the series and it makes sense that his patience would require one big event to break the idealised image, seemingly just like an abuse victim.
Guilt is hating what you did,
Shame is hating what you are.
That was one thing that I didn't understand about Injustice in terms of the 'no kill rule' regarding the Justice League; were Darkseid's Putties...I mean Parademons considered lives to be spared?
I don't think I can recall ANY version of them that were not destroyed during throwdowns with the heroes on earth. Here we had a worldwide invasion where MILLIONS could've been killed, but I believe 10000s of people were because Darkseid threw almost everything he had on the planet.
So, Superman going into space before blitzing them all into dust was a heroic act IMO. Woman Woman comforted him while Bruce was talking about how many lives he took. Bro...seriously?!
I'm not saying Superman didn't go too far, but at the same time there are situations where there is no choice!
