I’ve been waiting for someone to cover this. This book was so underrated and as someone who struggles with PTSD it read as such a powerful piece exploring trauma and self narrative. For me this was a 10/10
My trauma ruined me during the prime of my life. Been a bit over a decade since
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel something seeing my boy Wally so happy again w Jai & Irie. The goosebumps…the feels 🥹
Same af 😭
The poop
I love the fact that DC currently has a lot of characters with the power of Dr. Manhattan, like Wally. Rorschach would surely say: "What is this, some kind of nuclear gods bargain sale?!"
9:05 Earth-43, specially The Red Rain Trilogy, is one of the most bizarre, but yet fascinating DC realities ever. Both the lore and the art make me feel I am inside a fever dream I want to live in. It's pretty amazing the plot in which the Joker becomes the Lord of Vampires even though he NEVER is turned into one of them, not to mention the way the Trilogy concludes with Vampire Batman peacefully passing away after finally making Gotham a safe place to live in is one of the best conclusions the caped crusaders had in his story
Doomsday Clock was supposed to reveal Wally West being stuck in the Speed Force more so than any single change made by Doctor Manhattan is what lead to all the changes in DC's history but Dan Dildo HATED Wally with a passion, Dan was pushing his 5G initiative, and Dan kept forcing rewrites on Geoff Johns to make Doomsday Clock a much more Superman centric story than it was intended to be. Oh, Superman was important but, Wally he was supposed to be DC'S heart the guy who overcame SO MUCH to inspire so many others SUPERMAN INCLUDED but to Dan Dildo Wally West being that important was intolerable. In addition to the MANY rewrites Dan made Doomsday Clock irrelevant to DC's continuity by delaying every issue for months until all interest for the story ground to a halt (Dan Dildo was FIRED not long after)
Dr. Manhattan's Powers: Become a Power-Up like in a video game
Alan Moore: "You see what those bloody corporations do? They take your ideas and they succ them! Succ them like leeches until they've gotten every last drop of the marrow from your bones!"
Little did we know, Wally West getting the powers was actually pretty smart how he used them. It wasn't until later that we saw the full "Watchmen Babies"-ification of Jon's powers...
The fact the The Batman Who Laughs just became an evil Dr. Manhattan rather than wholly disinterested in previous plans shows what they thought of Alan Moore.
Quick fun question
What if Reverse Flash actually met up with Dr Chair Wally and not Manhattan? Fun theory to think Wally got "revenge" for his brother
A bit late, but we know for sure it was dr Manhattan, because thawne met him while holding the comedian pin (the whatchman smiley pin). And later in doomsday clock Manhattan had it, he also pick it up on mars at the end of "the button" (the story where thawne met Manhattan). Plus Wally ends up on the mobius chair during the ending of doomsday clock, since he witness in real time the new changes made by Manhattan at the end of that.
Thank you for covering this, its one of my favorite stories. Also Chino Moreno from deftones is batman. Hes said in interviews he doesnt like people and prefers to be alone (brooding) and his favorite bands growing up were the cure and morrisey (mopey/emo af)
Well even the slowest flash is already close to a God and Wally being the fastest already makes him one.
What makes him a GOD?
Dude you gotta know that Wally doesn’t like time travel or traveling to different worlds. That DOES NOT MEAN he doesnt know much about it. You gotta review “Chain Lightning”. Hell even some if the Geoff Johns stories (the early ones which were kinda boring) dealt with Wally traveling to a parallel magical universe. For what its worth, wally i would say has instinctual knowledge of the speed force which allowed him do what passed for extradimensional travel in pre-infinite crisis. Just not with the same level of precision as what we see now in a post-Dark multiverse landscape.
I don't know if you've covered them, but I think it'd be cool to cover all the multiversal characters like President Superman that show up every now and then.
Wally's Linda: YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH ME AND I CAN'T FORGIVE YOU
"Tempis Fudge-i-not" The way you're saying it is slaying me. lololol.
That's how I felt.
You said multiple wrong things.
- It was Abracadabra that removed Wally from the timestream and made people forget him.
- No one who died in HiC came back until much later. Even then, not everyone did.
Maybe I haven’t been paying attention, but thats the first sound bite ive heard in a comicsexplained and it genuinely caught me off guard and scared me. LOVED it please do more!!!
Beyond Omega Level: Icon (DC Milestone Comics)
i got Flash Forward as a gift last year, it got me deep into comics and Wally West and his history
DC creators be like
"You become god!
Flash cheers.
"And you become god!!!
Batman loses his mind.
"And you too become god!!!
Joker tears of joy.
"EVERYONE HERE IS GOD!!!"
Ah yes the Morbius Chair! Can't wait to see that appear in Morbius 2: It's Morbing Time!
Metatron.
Rob be like: Metatron (DC’s version of Marvels Ganderer) is usually found being whisked away with arguably the strongest relic in all of comics, the Morbius Chair. From this coveted throne he can Morb your kids in/out of reality. And that’s the crazy thing about this, man!!!
as bad as this story was, I cried for Wally when he found his kids.
Great video, very in depth!
Wow that was phenomenal. I love marvel comics but when it comes to multiversal reality changing stories DC crushes it. Wally is best flash.
it's just me or the art in this comics looks like something out of the 90's? it's not bad but it took me a few seconds to notice this wasn't 40 yrs old story
0:17
OK, who's that ginourmous brunette with the pearl headband? I'm in love!
God: “My system has a virus. I’ll reboot it.”
Plot: “Nah! Take this Flash Anti virus. You’ll be okay… Maybe!”
Wait that’s a total lie Wally only killed about a dozen C and D ranked characters in Hero’s in Crisis and then turned himself in. The DC Universe was never in any kind of danger
Morbius chair 😂 23:03
Thank you for including the name of the story in the video!!! So now we can buy the story and read it. Your video helps point out something someone may miss reading the story and give context to the story .
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate

Tempus Fuginaut is a play on Tempus Fugit, which is Latin for "time flies". I believe you would pronounce it more likely as (few•jih•not).
Wally West is my favorite character in DC. He is the Flash I grew up with.
That being said this entire comic run is one of my favorites for him. Seeing him get his life back, get his family back and then become more Godlike with the chair was just a treat. We all know how powerful Wally West is and what he can do when he unleashes his full might. When the self doubt starts to disappear his true power rises forth, which is why he is able to do some of the crazy shit he has done. Self Doubt is his Kryptonite so to speak, because he literally manifests it into reality. When he has no Self Doubt and is focused on the task the man is damn near unstoppable. I was so worried DC was going to screw him when he told Tempus to protect his Children, I feared he was just going to delete them but man was I happy when the kids landed back on Earth and Linda ran to them.
My boy has more then earned his happiness.
I jus wanna say thank you too you and your team for taking your time to explain and sharing these amazing comics.❤
23:02
Did anybody catch CE said MORBIUS chair instead of mobius chair lmao
Tbh I'm not reading new comics, I'm getting caught up on older comics that i never read, or want to reread, but this is awesome
Haven't been keeping up but just judging from the titles of the videos the past few months it seems every character has now killed the universe, met god, and became god (not necessarily in that order.)
Will you ever do a video on Jim Gordon's time as Batman? I wanna know more about Mr. Bloom.
Hello, . I am . You must . To defeat . Go, fulfill your destiny(this one, anyway).
He said the morbius chair 💀 lol
i don't usually comment on any videos, but Rob my Dude Your doing an excellent job. i stopped reading comic books in the early 2000's, and when i did read Them periodically it was only in an attempt to bring me up to speed with my favorite characters. Flash being one of those Characters. In 2011 Marvel solidified it's cinematic dominance with Captain America. They started with Iron man in 2008. In an effort to compete in 2011 with Marvel, with what i saw as a loss of a lot of readers due to Marvels' dominance in the Cinematic arena They introduced the New Fifty two. i guess they felt like They could win over a lot of readers by introducing a whole new DC universe and then start offering those readers a Cinematic universe that corresponded with those books. That plan backfired, because They ostracized all Their already existing fan base. i Loved Wally West, because He was the natural progression of the Flash legacy. For Them to just write Him out with no explanation was a sin for me that has no redemption. It's Good to see They're finally trying to bring Him back Family and all. It's all about making money, and i'm curious to see if Wally's Character stays around. With the New 52, continuity went out the window. It was a knee jerk reaction to loss of sales. Rant over 😢😂
He is still around and a 3rd child in the mix , and Linda gained speed powers. But now Barry and Iris were never married. Leaving open the question of the Tornado twins Dawn and Don Allen, and their kids Bart ( impulse) and Jenni ( Xs). Also with out Iris to introduce Wally to Barry how did they meet up? How did he become kid flash age 10? To become the 3rd flash. And for that matter John Fox of the 26th Century Flash 4, last operating in the 853rd Century with Justice Legion A.
23:02 Ah yes, the Morbius chair
Rob, you really need to put a disclaimer on your videos warning against drinking anything during your videos. You made a comment about brooding batman listening to the Cure and milk shot out of my nose 😂
I thought I was going crazy when you called Metron, Metatron. I was like "that doesn't sound right". Lol
"except for green lantern and batman" I spewed my drink because of how you said it and how I experienced it with my GL sub 😂
Sitting there smoking cigarettes and listening to the Cure.... You sir are a genius 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I love your channel, because I don’t get to read comics often. But the story lines are just completely ridiculous. I can’t believe that people sit around, come up with this stuff and somebody else approves it.
I love how the retaliators are basically the X-Men , Avengers and Daredevil lol smooth DC
I absolutely love overpowered characters. I just think they're neat.
Though if one was wanting to get into reading the dc comics (mainly flash, batfam, maybe some superman etc.) where would you start? Where would you even get the comics because I dont think ive ever actually SEEN a comic book store.
If I had a dollar for every thumbnail this video had I think I would have 3 dollars
Hello Rob could I request you do a video on the story of The Thing and sandman story line, how they became friends and how sandman brought beers to The Thing while he was in the hospital and other villans were trying to attack The Thing. I believe its from Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 96
I'd love for you to do a video on it cause you just make the best comic videos imo on all of youtube and can't find anyone whos done a video on this story yet.
Tempus Fugit is Latin for "time flies" in a kind of mortal sense.
"My staff"
You have staff???
Rob you should hire me, I have alittle computer experience and what not but I really just don't want to work food service cause it's really hard with my diagnosis
While this may seem like a joke I'm also very serious if you had a spot available 😅
If nothing no worries but if interested in hiring someone else remotely *let me know*
Damn! Been waiting for this video for years!
wally west is my favourite flash and one of my favourite dc supes or dc characters
Top 20 most powerful DC characters hierarchy please. And the Marvel one when it comes out. Your original Marvel hierarchy is still my favorite series of videos you’ve done, and I’m a DC guy.
The flash is my favorite comic book character by far wether is Wally Barry even jay the flash is always great
Linda's flash suit is 👍🏾👍🏾
Amazing i love your videos!
Lovin the thumbnail (MOLF Wally West)
Wow.. such an amazing story!
Dude I wanna more of Lightspeed She's cool.
11:51 That’s incorrect. It’s the opposite actually. Barry is the mainline/epicenter of the force . Wally just has WAY BETTER CONTROL and access to it’s power
Thank you. This is why he should do more research for his DC vids than marvel. He loves marvel and DC is a little brother it to rob.
Naw forget Dido's nonsense. Wally is the speedforce.
"few-ji-not". Fuginaut. From tempus fugit "tem-pus few-jit" or "time flies"
I appreciate your stuff, but dude, every time I heard "fudge" it was like pouring molten chocolate into my soul.
Hang on, wouldn't a vampire Superman be significantly weak simply due to the fact that he is a vampire, vampires can't go in the sunlight & Superman gets his powers from the SUN??
Hell, Wally could have just grabbed him & raced him to the side of the planet that still has sunlight. instant powdered Superman.
Earth 43 has no sunlight anymore. The Vampires rule the planet. It is a take off of the Vampire batman stories with Ultraman Vampire thrown in from Final Crisis.
@@Ozzy_2014 Makes sense but what I'm getting at is that without being able to use the sunlight to fuel his Superman abilities he should be just a man who happens to be a vampire. Which is far less threatening than a powered up Superman/Ultraman.
Man I’ve been waiting for this
Hey man, I love your contents. Do you think you can do a video on marvel's firestar?
I like how you threw in the word 'incursions'
Unpopular take : I still think Jay Garrick is the best flash. Classic design, classic old school hero.
Beyond Omega Level: Unkindness Raven
This tempest looks like Sven from Dota 2. Not saying they're copying, just a nice look
Lol... FUDGEinaut.
I am the master of gooey chocolate, not states of time and un-natural mutiversal fugues (or foogs, as some modern scholars have updated it too...).
As a lover of quality fudge, I have to say, thanks for the chuckle sir.
What do you expect from a redhead? When you don’t have a soul, then you all you want is a soul.
Wally is my favorite hero hands down
Brain keeps hearing Jai and Iris as Giant Iris.
This reminds me of the Speed Metal comic
Did Rob not notice that the "Retaliators" are Kirkland brand Avengers?
The idea that Batman listens to The Cure is hilarious
Wally is the man that everyone forgot. Forgetmenot.
Think im a little lost there at the end. What does the Mobius chair have to do with Dr Manhattan and why would or could it give him the powers of Dr. Manhattan?
Metron was pulled from the chair in the fight Between Darkseid and Möbius the once and Future Anti-monitor. It sat empty. As the name gives a clue, Möbius chair as in created by Möbius before he was taken over by Antilife and became the Anti-monitor. Dr.Manhattan took that power for his own use before he was killed by The Batman who laughs. His power was imbued with the chair in the fight against perpetua. Wally would use his powers to aid in the dark crisis. Hope that clears things up a bit.
Tldr plot device to pull Metron out of the chair and use it as deux ex machina to save the day.
If rob says it’s gonna be good then it shall be good
The speed force looks like sonic the hedgehog which makes total sense. 5:38
No one has ever screwed up a beloved character like DC screwed up Wally West. They were so lazy and wanted Barry Allen back so badly that they ended up with two flashes and didn't really know how to write either of them. It's a damn shame what they did to the Flash. A damn shame.
Under normal circumstances trying to stab superman with wood- is too silly to even try finishing that thought lolz
20:38 wait a second
Are we getting character explanations again?
Where is the Playlist for heroes in crisis?
Ohhh i love dark nights metal!!
Side question who is metatron I know who morbios the living vampire is but I don't know who metatron is is that like a transformer?
Baron Mordo explained please!
"I'll make sure my staff puts it there".....
this mf has staff
This was good 😊👍
My favorite part is when the Morbius chair morbs all over the multiverse
"Very 'whoa is me' I'm so sad and 'I illed all the superheroes' and 'I can never forgive myself'. Basically every 13 year old girl, ever"
Rob... fire your script-writer
Does anybody know if he’s got a video on generation zero?
I remember this story didn't really like it because I'm not a fan of the flash in general but had to read to understand why he was back in death metal ( I think it was during one of those metal events.) leave it to comics explain to go further into detail lol.
Rob, do your editors LISTEN to your vids before you put them out? Fuginaut is pronounced with a hard G, like the Batman villian Tempus Fugit. And it's Metron, not Metitron. 2 syllables.
I am available for hire.
His videos for the past couple of months seem to have dropped in quality.
@@Kimm134Saya mainly the DC ones
Word.
"My Staff" - sir, I think you can say you made it when you can use those words.
Can you cover dark reign
lmaoooo watching these flash videos i kept thinking Wally’s kids were called “Giant Iris” oooph 🤦🏾♂️
Wouldn’t being a vampire make it difficult for Superman to get sunlight..?
Thanks Rob
