    Barry Allen: “You’re his father… Martha Wayne”
    Thomas Wayne: *Why did you say that name!*

    The Flashpoint story is surprisingly great. I watched the movie and it made me want an animated series or two based off the alternate world if it was another universe, especially for Thomas Wayne Batman and Cyborg's Justice League.

    Such a great animated movie, it's a real shame, you used to be able to access all of DC's animated library on HBO max, but they recently significantly reduced the amount of the movies they carry. Real bummer

    another fantastic video and comparison. The Flashpoint storyline was so dark that ut sent chill down the spine and the adaptation transmits that same feeling. Learning that it was Barry's fault, the first time you read is devastating.
    We watch it wanting the world to return to normal.
    PS: Nice one with the Darth Dance and the song.

    One thing I appreciate about the film is that it includes certain events from the tie-in comics that people who haven’t read them wouldn’t know.

    I do think the animated movie is such a fantastic adaptation of the Flashpoint comic, and although I really think this storyline is fairly overrated, I can at least greatly appreciate how well this movie adapts the storyline while keeping things that worked and improved on elements that didn't using it as a template for starting the DCAMU of animated DC films primarily adapting some of the New 52 storylines. I really love the fluid anime-esque animation they used for the movie as it gives such levels of artistic detail, great choreography with a good use of colour saturation to show how dire and severe the setting is like how grim the final battle setting looks, but also how the scenes with the Speed Force looks so electrifying and vibrant.
    I do however personally think they need to let go of the Flashpoint storyline and finally give Flash much needed spotlight and attention by adapting other iconic Flash storylines since the character deserves his own animated series or at least a better live action movie that isn't bad.
    Btw it was this movie that introduced me to Reverse Flash as a villain and made him my favourite comic book villain just for how insanely sadistically petty he is.

    @Pikashades 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I did a video like this a year ago on 10th anniversary of when the animated movie came out. One the simpliest fixes that the animated movie could have done in being a proper adaptation would have been to make the Reverse Flash ask "How's your mother, Barry?" before Superman took him away in the opening and that could have made Barry run back in time to LOOK how his mother's death had happened. Especially when the movie never explored WHO EVEN KILLED HER and how Barry's father was cut to non-existence as a suspect who's innocence had inspired Barry to become a CSI.
    But looking at how this video has gotten more views under 24 hours than my video has since it's release, the TH-cam Algorithm cleary doesn't want people to see it.

    While there’s no indication that all the DC animated movies made prior to Flashpoint were in the same universe.
    The Flashpoint Paradox does feel like a fitting end to the DC Original Animated Movies Pre-DCAMU.

    Not gonna lie I've enjoyed almost every DC animated film up until the Tomorrowverse. I think the Tomorrowverse is when DC animation fell off. Which is a shame because animation has always been DC's thing. Hopefully they can go back to making legendary animated films. I would personally love to see a Kingdom Come animated film.
