I always feel awkward when Karl shit talks Snyder cus he’s my favourite director, I just enjoy this channel and respect that Karl doesn’t like Zack’s movies
Depends on how you feel about time travel. Either he's only ever getting hit the one time, and the person is different depending on when you observe it, or all of the hits are taking place at the same time, and the Rex gets obliterated by infinite people
The Flash in the Justice League cartoon is Wally West, A lot of the cool iconic Flash stuff comes from Wally West Flash but gets attributed to Barry because of the show and his recent resurgence in popularity.
I will say that Wally from Justice League takes some elements from Barry as well, so while he's primarily Wally he's a bit of an amalgamation of him and Barry
@@econno8172 the crew of arrow disliked Steven Amell, so they took a few photos in front of his grave on set. He hates the pics because of the backstory.
Dunno if somebody already covered it but In the dark knight’s metal comics, in an alternate reality where Batman went postal, he decided he needed to steal the speed force from the flash to protect Gotham, and the very moment he successfully merged with Barry, every villain in Gotham brutally died, earning the new hybrid the name “Red Death”
I think my favorite Flash thing of all time, for the sheer silliness of it, is that it's totally possible that Wally West is responsible for the whole "IT WAS MEEEEEE BARRY" thing. In a Wally West story where Eobard Thawne becomes the Reverse Flash way too early in Thawne's lifespan, Wally is able to 'convince' Thawne to return to the 31st century by threatening to bully Thawne as a baby, kid, teenager, etc. via the Cosmic Treadmill. Which is exactly what Thawne will later do to Barry in Flashpoint and nearly every story after it.
Barry's civillian job is a forensic scientist. He helps investigate crimes and as such sees how horrible criminals can be. So it makes sense that he'd support the death penalty. He's probably relieved at being the Flash, his villains are evil, but they're often pretty straightforward. A serial killer doesn't usually leave calling cards calling you out like normal 'villains'.
yeah, but he only becomes a forensic scientist because he believes his father was wrongfully convicted of murdering his mom. If he is aware how innocent people can be found guilty of crimes that warrant life sentences and also the death penalty, it doesn't make sense for that person to be pro death penalty.
One of my favourite bits from the Justice League Unlimited is from the episode wherein Flash and Lex Luthor have switched bodies. Luthor find himself in front of a bathroom mirror (in Flash's body) "Heh, at least I will now find out The Flash's secret identity!" [Lowers cowl] "..." "I have no idea who this is"
@@moga-hunter2410 JLU had so many great little moments like that- Batman singing in Circe's nightclub, Huntress trying to flirt with The Question over the phone [H] "Um... what are you wearing?" [Q] "Trench-coat and fedora, why?" [H] " *sigh* You're not very good at this, are you". Green Arrow swinging down a zip-line whilst singing his own theme tune. And finally, that epic curtain call as the entire JLU run down the stairs in the last episode.
I have a scene etched in my memory from Smallville, the end of the episode where Flash first turns up. I can't recall the specifics but Clark has been chasing this dude around for a while when Flash just goes like "it's been fun playing with you" and absolutely smokes Clark who is going his fastest, and a corny song crescendos as Flash just disappears over the horizon... Feels like today by Rascal Flats...
Right you are sir. He saves Superman's dad in the beginning of the first episode he appears in. Then Superman keeps trying to reach the ...like 12...14 year old Flash's speed...and it's ridiculous how well they portrayed the speed gap. Another great episode of Smallville or however you spell the series' name. But it was the episode about the chunky or slightly heavy set girl gaining a heightened or sped up metabolism...and if I remember right she turns into what I would call a starving cracked out Cursed Resurrection Mummy....Imotep style....or maybe it was a different episode...idk but now I must binge watch everything filed under the Nostalgia tag.....so pretty much everything
In the Kingdome Come comic the Flash focuses all of his attention on one city and makes it a utopia where nothing bad happens, because he instantly stops it
Coroner: "all these thugs were killed by having their necks snapped" Officer: "But they all seem fine, their heads are all the facing the right way" Coroner: "360 degrees will do that to you"
My Favorite example of the Flash's ability to learn is in the Injustice Comics where Superman challenges him to a game of Chess, a game the Flash has never played before, and after speed reading everything there is to know he plays superman, and starts consistantly winning by the 3rd/4th game. Probably my favorite Flash Scene. And then in the Movie they kill him off and substitute Mr Terrific into the chess game.
my favourite part of the flash is in the future where there is a whole city where crime doesnt exist as flash instantaneously stops all crime right as it happens
Fun fact: The Runner (The fastest being in Marvel) had a race the Flash and the Flash won and the Runner declared the Flash to be the fastest being ever.
Great video guys! The fact that Barry can process anything that happens around him in an ato-second reminded me of a song: The Balled of Barry Allen by Jim's Big Ego. The song is about Barry's experiences, how he can save everyone whenever he wants, but living at such speeds makes him very lonely because everyone is moving very very very slow... My explanation doesn't really do the song justice, just listen :P
I love that song, and I hope I get to hear it in a DC movie one day. It's basically Barry Allen thinking to himself about his day-to-day life and how he can't live like a normal person
A straw moving at tornado speeds can pierce trees. Imagine if Barry carried a weighted piano wire? It would be like a magical guillotine appearing out of nowhere.
You guys should do the reverse flash at some point, he got similar powers but he also has more and some of them are ridiculous, you guys could get a good laugh out of it
@@othellojohnson145 he actually does have more, he can disrupt the speedforce aura of speedsters which gets them to burst into flames if they run. He can also possess people, poison the speedforce which killed the black flash (death for speedsters) and forced the speedforce to turn Barry Allen into the black flash. At some point he had a level of mind control, he can also just unkill himself like he did after Doctor Manhattan killed him. He can also manipulate his own age
@@prof-eon again the way his powers work and the feats he pulled off like mind control or even the body possession and stuff are all creative ways he uses his speed or the which flash could potentially pull of. that’s all I was saying
@@othellojohnson145 and what I'm saying that it's not all the case, okay with the possession and mind control theoratically. But Barry does not poison the speedforce by running, not can he disrupt the speedforce aura of another speedster, nor can he send his consciousness back in an earlier version of his body to accheive paradoxical state, not can he manipulate his age. The negative speedforce does grant abilities that the speedforce doesn't
what i like more about the Flash vs Brain-Lex fight, is that after hes just ran around the planet like 7 times in a few seconds he then proceeds to vibrate fast enough to separate Brainiac and Lex Luthor at the atomic level.
Regarding Batman appreciating Flash's attitude and optimism, I recall that the way it was described was, "If I hadn't put on the cowl, I like to think I could have been someone like him." And something about that just really makes me smile, that for all the friction they show between Batman and the other League members (and especially Flash whenever he's 'goofing around'), he not only has respect for who Flash is and what he does... he legitimately wishes he could have turned out like Barry Allen, rather than Batman. Something about that just anyways struck me as being one of the rare instances where a league friendship went to a deeper level for one of the characters, than just surface level caring about each other's wellbeing. Batman seems to consider Flash as almost an ideal to strive for, as a hero, in the same way that some base line humans look at Superman as an ideal for how to help others.
Quicksilvers tape player isn't sped up. Its just relativity. The slow mo is because he is moving so fast that time is stretched out, i.e. time dilation, but because the tape player is also moving with him it is also moving at the same speed. So it doesn't need to actually speed up the tape for him to listen to it in his relative space.
Neither you nor the comics truly explored the implications of Barry being a blue lantern.... while not nearly as powerful as a green or yellow lantern,a blue lantern is still pretty formidable. Already able to heal from a broken leg in less than a minute,a suit of armour would make him unbeatable. Already able to react faster than(almost) any villain can think, the ability to create constructs, he'd stop any of them before they even knew what happened, without even having to move a muscle.....op af, imo
That detail about the flash being late for everything made me nostalgic as that was the very first fact fiend vid I ever saw, when youtube did a decent job with reccomendations. Amazing to see how far the channel has come since then.
That last comment made me envision a series where the Flash is cursed with carrying out every death that's written in a Death Note and the whole series is about him trying to track down every Death Note to destroy it while also having to enact every death.
I'm guessing from Superman's "cardboard world" speech to Darkseid, he lets himself get slapped around so whoever's hitting him doesn't shatter their bones
Yhup. Been confirmed in comics. Spiderman has to do the same thing interestingly enough. When he first became spiderman, he let a boxer punch him without rolling with the hit, and all that happened was the boxer broke either one hand, or both hands, while Peter didn't even react to the hit. After that, he decided to roll with hits. Dude would legitimately be the most terrifying hero Marvel has if they'd just let Peter cut loose every once and a while, just to let the villains know "Just remember, at ANY time, I could punch your head into low orbit, but I don't because I'm better than you." Doc ock had that come to Jesus moment when he took Peter's body and accidentally yeeted scorpions jaw into next century. Thats when he realized the only reason he lived long enough to take Peter's body, is because Peter was just a better person than him, because he could've easily killed him at ANY time, and nothing Ock had built or used up till that point would've slowed Peter down. I believe that's actually what made him want to become a hero, besides Peter's consciousness effecting him.
@@aaronself2411 I was just thinking about the Scorpion Incident when I started reading that. I don't know how many people realise how strong Spider-Man actually is. It's honestly scary what he'd be capable of if he let go
I watched most of the seasons of glee. I never realized they were both in it. And it makes so much sense with the glee references that episode where they sang together.
The Flash comic/audio book called Stop Motion has him fly by get this stepping so fast that the air molecules under his feet don't have time to move out of the way allowing him to run up the air as if it were a staircase or a ladder. He then essentially treads air to hold a conversation with Superman mid-air.
fun fact blue screens use to be more common than green screens back in the day, but im guessing they switched to blue so Karls tattoos wouldnt be transparent
Spare a moment for that poor t-rex, who has had who knows how many meals interrupted by a man in a skin tight red jumpsuit showing up and slamming the villain of the day into the side of his face. Well, historically, at least I now know how the sphinxes nose, and that t-rex's jaw, got broken. Now spare a moment for the guys who have to keep repairing that nose job in the baking Egyptian sun, just for a man in a skin tight red jumpsuit to show up and break it again by slamming the villain of the day into it. I would have given up, too....
The thing about Superman getting knocked around is, he has to flow with the punches so ridiculously intensely or else the people attacking him will break their own hands. Not sure about flash managing to get hit though...
For all his power, Flash's biggest weakness, is overconfidence. There's been a number of times where he's been taken down because he was to cocky to pay attention to everything, but when the man gets serious, no one's managed to get close to touching him.
@ALI sensei I don't support it at all because even the chance of one innocent being executed is unacceptable. At least with false imprisonment it's possible for them to be exonerated. Death is final. The amount of times people have been found innocent AFTER they were already executed is too many. One would be too many.
@@cortster12 Totally agree with you. It's not a sentence to be given lightly. I don't think people should be given the death penalty for smaller crimes like robbery or an account of one or two murders. I'm talking serial killer or cult leader levels of evil.
@@Rafael-2105 We can't do that though. Since we can never know if they are FOR SURE guilty. There is always the chance they're innocent. Always. Heck, last I checked (like ten minutes ago) it's estimated 4% of people on death row and who have been executed are innocent, based on the statistics of those who have been confirmed innocent after the fact. That's worse than I expected, but likely what I should have expected. We could save executions for literal beyond the doubt situations, but most situations feel beyond the doubt in the moment, as that is literally what jurors are tasked to do: find them guilty beyond reasonable doubt. And still they mess up.
analytics showed that people watch less of these videos apparently, but isn't the point that it's a conversation between friends that we get to be a part of ? The facts are cool, I've used them many times in discussions but I personally enjoy the whole discussion. I guess that's what fact fiend raw is for but are people's attention spans that short ? sorry your videos are under appreciated guys.
Pretty sure that move he uses on brainiac is him moving so fast that he basically eviscerated whatever he hit because he moves at such a speed it doesn’t matter if they’re super dense like superman or any other number of meta humans/aliens within the dc universe, I guess his speed force powers protect him from the fact that he is far more squishy than most of the JLA
9:30 he can read fast but he can't retain what he learned, except for his grandson bart Allan who can technically remember everything that happened in his life
In the most meaningful way I can think of to define it in our world (as a physics enthusiast, not physicist), the time barrier would be identical to the light barrier, since the speed of light is the maximum speed that does not violate causality (allow events to influence their own past).
I love the little moments they do in The Animated Series, where they'll add so much in just two seconds with one tiny detail. Batman, Martian Man Hunter, the Flash take back the watchtower from the Thanagarians (sp? Hawkgirl's people). Batman traps MM and Flash in the escape pod, with the soldiers. Tells them he's going to sacrifice himself, and I've heard arguments that either Manhunter or Flash could have made it too him that I don't agree with (MM not reading his mind until after he's trapped, seeing that even if he tries Batman, with the watchtower, will stop any attempt. Batman waiting until Flash has his back turned, not expecting the self sacrificial backstab). In the moment where Flash realizes he can't get back to the station, and that none of his powers will save his friend, the Sultan of Speed, the runner of the team, just..... _silently sits down, defeated._ The moment lasts all of two seconds, means nothing, but when you _think_ about it......
imagine an injustice timeline where instead of attacking superman, joker attacked the flash. flash decides to micromanage earth. no crimes are ever committed because if you commit a crime, flash will run by and kill you. flash can time travel, so whenever he goes to sleep, he wakes up afterwards and then travels back in time to the exact point in time where he went to sleep and resumes his worldwide patrol. every single superhero that tries to stop him is instantly killed by the flash. probably the only safe place in earth would be underwater, in atlantis, where aqua man politely asks the flash to let him handle the law in exchange for the surface and the ocean not going to war.
"I can perceive events that occur for less than an attosecond" is crazy. What makes me doubt that's the actual speed of his brain is the tower of babel story, most well known for all of Batman's plans for the justice league going off without his consent and that the one he has for the flash is a satellite that gives the flash light-speed seizures. This was the same comic that explained "Batman's red kryptonite" as a modified red kryptonite chunk that made Superman's skin transparent so he couldn't absorb more sunlight in addition to slowly draining his powers. Then again, the famous "Don't leave me" panels conflict with the threat Bats is facing in that Ra's Al Ghul threatens to bring his parents back from the dead with a lazarus pit if he doesn't tell the justice league that he (bats) was the one who made the devices that are currently causing the world to go to hell. So DC needs to figure out character limitations and motivations again.
true though. not only limitations... but like, if you establish a character as having some ability, give some freaking reason why their ability seems to fail them at so many instances( flash being hit by / failing to stop normal people )
(Talking the real world) one can argue that the light barrier is the time barrier. It is complicated but theoretically something going faster than light goes backwards in time.
To answer why superman can get hit by normal people it's because he can have a hard time estimating how strong he needs to be or how weak he needs to be just so he doesn't make the other person's fist explode when they hit him.
Unless you have superhuman strength, punching superman wouldn't do anything besides break your hand. Punching a solid steel plate, and punching a plate of the exact same size and shape but made out of concrete doesn't result in different injuries because one is harder than the other. The force applied is always the same, it doesn't matter how tough the thing the stops your hand is, it doesn't have any kentic energy. Punching a completely still Superman, would be the exact same as punching a rock wall, or a uranium wall or a steel wall. Its really all the same.
Love how Karl Smallwood mistakenly time barrier for the vibrational barrier where a different forms of matter particles occupy the same space but it different vibrational frequencies so they don't Collide or interview with one another because everything is in the superficial state where it either or so it's not at any given point in time so it's either in this dimension or the next but it's not really a dimension it's a different vibrational frequency which occupy the same space so they basically on top of one another but I can't interact with one another
Also the speed force does not act as a membrane between multiverse? I mean, it's the barrier that separates Prime Earth from Earth-23 if I remember correctly and other Earths.
Huh..... I never really thought about the headphones on Quicksilver much but..... how would you measure how fast your running? Sometimes you might not want to sonic boom a living room. Preset speeds on an audio platform and all he would have to do is go fast enough to hear the music normally
Batman wouldn't be pissed, cuz he did just that when he got the speed force powers, by running together with Barry into the speed force and absorbing him entirely in Batman Death Metal and becoming Red Death.
Actually, you're just ignorant of how the speedforce works. Anyone who has access the the speed force, is given protection against things like wind resistance and friction. All speedsters have a bubble around them that negates those effects, because their ALL aspects of the concept of speed, and they can even expand that bubble to other people, so they can move them around at superspeed, without shattering every bone in their body.
I'd still consider the X-Men movies Quicksilver as having Required Secondary Powers protecting him and his clothes from speed effects and the goggles as just a token effort. He spends a couple minutes in his own slow-time while already fired bullets are in midair, meaning the entire scene is tiny fractions of a second in real time, so he's probably 100s to 1000s of times faster than sound. And he's also obviously holding back cause he fucks around in the middle of doing it.
That Justice League Unlimited scene was Wally West. Who is, in fact, *significantly* faster than Barry Allen. Also: Once again recommending Moondragon for Wiki Weekends.

That detail about the flash being late for everything made me nostalgic as that was the very first fact fiend vid I ever saw, when youtube did a decent job with reccomendations. Amazing to see how far the channel has come since then.
Ah, you didn't mention my favourite Flash story, where he gets infected in DCeased and is just, terrifying!
I liked the theory where speed peoples actual super power is controling gravity
Might be controlling time, since time IS related to gravity just as mass is equivalent to energy. Slow down and speed up time.
That last comment made me envision a series where the Flash is cursed with carrying out every death that's written in a Death Note and the whole series is about him trying to track down every Death Note to destroy it while also having to enact every death.
That last remark, "every villains' head be turned back around." That would be an amazing take on the Injustice saga.
I love the Flash so fucking much
your coffee cup is slowly dissolving into the matrix
I'm guessing from Superman's "cardboard world" speech to Darkseid, he lets himself get slapped around so whoever's hitting him doesn't shatter their bones
Yhup. Been confirmed in comics. Spiderman has to do the same thing interestingly enough. When he first became spiderman, he let a boxer punch him without rolling with the hit, and all that happened was the boxer broke either one hand, or both hands, while Peter didn't even react to the hit. After that, he decided to roll with hits. Dude would legitimately be the most terrifying hero Marvel has if they'd just let Peter cut loose every once and a while, just to let the villains know "Just remember, at ANY time, I could punch your head into low orbit, but I don't because I'm better than you." Doc ock had that come to Jesus moment when he took Peter's body and accidentally yeeted scorpions jaw into next century. Thats when he realized the only reason he lived long enough to take Peter's body, is because Peter was just a better person than him, because he could've easily killed him at ANY time, and nothing Ock had built or used up till that point would've slowed Peter down. I believe that's actually what made him want to become a hero, besides Peter's consciousness effecting him.
@@aaronself2411 I was just thinking about the Scorpion Incident when I started reading that. I don't know how many people realise how strong Spider-Man actually is. It's honestly scary what he'd be capable of if he let go
The comics: you can't steal Barry's powers
The show: Barry gets his powers stolen multiple times
The bit in justice league unlimited has to be one of the best moments in any cartoon ever
Have to say, the visual image of every criminal becoming backwards compatible in an instant is both terrifying and also hilarious.
I watched most of the seasons of glee. I never realized they were both in it. And it makes so much sense with the glee references that episode where they sang together.
There is a comic you guys didn’t mention where the flash had to beat cosmic beings that can teleport in a race to earth and the flash still beat them
The Flash comic/audio book called Stop Motion has him fly by get this stepping so fast that the air molecules under his feet don't have time to move out of the way allowing him to run up the air as if it were a staircase or a ladder. He then essentially treads air to hold a conversation with Superman mid-air.
so he's basically doing that Air Step thing from One Piece
The flash is like Spiderman where Spiderman can absolutely kill anyone that he faces but he holds back to not kill his enemies.
Love how this is out when the new season of The Flash is here. Excellent marketing lad
fun fact blue screens use to be more common than green screens back in the day, but im guessing they switched to blue so Karls tattoos wouldnt be transparent
Karl finds his tattoos going transparent hilarious so I doubt that’s the case
@@emmahenderson2737
He needs a blue tattoo on the other arm so he can continue to frustrate the editor
Of course come Brits would like the "Monarch of motion" lol. Jk, love you guys.
Zach Snyder didn’t rip it off running normal speed with everything else in slow mo from x men they both got it from smallville lmao
Yes, the musical episode is the best episode, 100% agreed!
Say what u want abt ZSJL (7/10 imo) no one can deny Barry reversing time was incredible
Spare a moment for that poor t-rex, who has had who knows how many meals interrupted by a man in a skin tight red jumpsuit showing up and slamming the villain of the day into the side of his face.
Well, historically, at least I now know how the sphinxes nose, and that t-rex's jaw, got broken.
Now spare a moment for the guys who have to keep repairing that nose job in the baking Egyptian sun, just for a man in a skin tight red jumpsuit to show up and break it again by slamming the villain of the day into it.
I would have given up, too....
Haven't watched this yet but I'm assuming it's something like running up a cliff or mountain and letting his momentum launch him up
Explaining all the evil Batmans from Dark Knights/Metal would be a cool episode.
I used to watch the 90's flash show, I remember loving that show as a kid
You can't beat me Batma-... Is that my heart?😵
The thing about Superman getting knocked around is, he has to flow with the punches so ridiculously intensely or else the people attacking him will break their own hands. Not sure about flash managing to get hit though...
For all his power, Flash's biggest weakness, is overconfidence. There's been a number of times where he's been taken down because he was to cocky to pay attention to everything, but when the man gets serious, no one's managed to get close to touching him.
In justice league it’s not berry it’s Wally west if I’m not mistaking
To be fair. How can you not support the death penalty in a world where the Joker exists?
I totally support the death penalty in our world too. But only to multiple homicide, or murder accompanied by another crime(rape, torture...)
@ALI sensei I don't support it at all because even the chance of one innocent being executed is unacceptable. At least with false imprisonment it's possible for them to be exonerated. Death is final. The amount of times people have been found innocent AFTER they were already executed is too many. One would be too many.
@@cortster12 Totally agree with you. It's not a sentence to be given lightly. I don't think people should be given the death penalty for smaller crimes like robbery or an account of one or two murders. I'm talking serial killer or cult leader levels of evil.
@@Rafael-2105 We can't do that though. Since we can never know if they are FOR SURE guilty. There is always the chance they're innocent. Always. Heck, last I checked (like ten minutes ago) it's estimated 4% of people on death row and who have been executed are innocent, based on the statistics of those who have been confirmed innocent after the fact. That's worse than I expected, but likely what I should have expected. We could save executions for literal beyond the doubt situations, but most situations feel beyond the doubt in the moment, as that is literally what jurors are tasked to do: find them guilty beyond reasonable doubt. And still they mess up.
Yeah, even in the Smallville series, Flash easily turned around and ran backwards faster than Clark Kent wen they raced.
analytics showed that people watch less of these videos apparently, but isn't the point that it's a conversation between friends that we get to be a part of ? The facts are cool, I've used them many times in discussions but I personally enjoy the whole discussion. I guess that's what fact fiend raw is for but are people's attention spans that short ? sorry your videos are under appreciated guys.
Pretty sure that move he uses on brainiac is him moving so fast that he basically eviscerated whatever he hit because he moves at such a speed it doesn’t matter if they’re super dense like superman or any other number of meta humans/aliens within the dc universe, I guess his speed force powers protect him from the fact that he is far more squishy than most of the JLA
Therapist: Bad contrast karl can’t hurt you
Bad contrast karl:
its weird hearing nearby and not far away
Karl you gotta protect ya neck!
the flash being slower than everyone is so stupid, but the scene with thawne at the end of season 7 was amazing.
9:30 he can read fast but he can't retain what he learned, except for his grandson bart Allan who can technically remember everything that happened in his life
I don't believe that's still accurate. There's been multiple examples of him picking up languages by speed reading language guides.
In the most meaningful way I can think of to define it in our world (as a physics enthusiast, not physicist), the time barrier would be identical to the light barrier, since the speed of light is the maximum speed that does not violate causality (allow events to influence their own past).
Anyone else thought his mug was a candle sat the start uniform the video from the way the chair was positioned
In my mind the greatest villain Flash has ever had to deal with is speed bumps.
Fun fact: if you went the speed of light you could traverse the earth seven times in a single second.
I love the little moments they do in The Animated Series, where they'll add so much in just two seconds with one tiny detail.
Batman, Martian Man Hunter, the Flash take back the watchtower from the Thanagarians (sp? Hawkgirl's people).
Batman traps MM and Flash in the escape pod, with the soldiers. Tells them he's going to sacrifice himself, and I've heard arguments that either Manhunter or Flash could have made it too him that I don't agree with (MM not reading his mind until after he's trapped, seeing that even if he tries Batman, with the watchtower, will stop any attempt. Batman waiting until Flash has his back turned, not expecting the self sacrificial backstab).
In the moment where Flash realizes he can't get back to the station, and that none of his powers will save his friend, the Sultan of Speed, the runner of the team, just..... _silently sits down, defeated._
The moment lasts all of two seconds, means nothing, but when you _think_ about it......
imagine an injustice timeline where instead of attacking superman, joker attacked the flash. flash decides to micromanage earth. no crimes are ever committed because if you commit a crime, flash will run by and kill you. flash can time travel, so whenever he goes to sleep, he wakes up afterwards and then travels back in time to the exact point in time where he went to sleep and resumes his worldwide patrol. every single superhero that tries to stop him is instantly killed by the flash. probably the only safe place in earth would be underwater, in atlantis, where aqua man politely asks the flash to let him handle the law in exchange for the surface and the ocean not going to war.
accktually the speed force says "fuck you busta" to physics so he can run as fast as he wants and no damage anything
"I can perceive events that occur for less than an attosecond" is crazy. What makes me doubt that's the actual speed of his brain is the tower of babel story, most well known for all of Batman's plans for the justice league going off without his consent and that the one he has for the flash is a satellite that gives the flash light-speed seizures. This was the same comic that explained "Batman's red kryptonite" as a modified red kryptonite chunk that made Superman's skin transparent so he couldn't absorb more sunlight in addition to slowly draining his powers. Then again, the famous "Don't leave me" panels conflict with the threat Bats is facing in that Ra's Al Ghul threatens to bring his parents back from the dead with a lazarus pit if he doesn't tell the justice league that he (bats) was the one who made the devices that are currently causing the world to go to hell. So DC needs to figure out character limitations and motivations again.
true though. not only limitations... but like, if you establish a character as having some ability, give some freaking reason why their ability seems to fail them at so many instances( flash being hit by / failing to stop normal people )
(Talking the real world) one can argue that the light barrier is the time barrier. It is complicated but theoretically something going faster than light goes backwards in time.
To answer why superman can get hit by normal people it's because he can have a hard time estimating how strong he needs to be or how weak he needs to be just so he doesn't make the other person's fist explode when they hit him.
Unless you have superhuman strength, punching superman wouldn't do anything besides break your hand. Punching a solid steel plate, and punching a plate of the exact same size and shape but made out of concrete doesn't result in different injuries because one is harder than the other. The force applied is always the same, it doesn't matter how tough the thing the stops your hand is, it doesn't have any kentic energy. Punching a completely still Superman, would be the exact same as punching a rock wall, or a uranium wall or a steel wall. Its really all the same.
Imagine being faster than stopping time. Subtime.
Love how Karl Smallwood mistakenly time barrier for the vibrational barrier where a different forms of matter particles occupy the same space but it different vibrational frequencies so they don't Collide or interview with one another because everything is in the superficial state where it either or so it's not at any given point in time so it's either in this dimension or the next but it's not really a dimension it's a different vibrational frequency which occupy the same space so they basically on top of one another but I can't interact with one another
Also the speed force does not act as a membrane between multiverse? I mean, it's the barrier that separates Prime Earth from Earth-23 if I remember correctly and other Earths.
Sultan of Speed. That's a dope ass band name. Kinda like the Sultan if Swing.
Karl be deep fried (like a meme) today, damn. Fix the contrast.
Joe was who really impressed in that musical episode of The Flash! However, everyone was amazing.
That last bit a bout the Flash inst-killing every bad guy on earth is Red Death from Dark Knights Metal. Please look that up if you get a chance.
Huh..... I never really thought about the headphones on Quicksilver much but..... how would you measure how fast your running? Sometimes you might not want to sonic boom a living room.
Preset speeds on an audio platform and all he would have to do is go fast enough to hear the music normally
Batman wouldn't be pissed, cuz he did just that when he got the speed force powers, by running together with Barry into the speed force and absorbing him entirely in Batman Death Metal and becoming Red Death.
The light barrier actually IS the time barrier, if you could go faster than light you could literally travel through time.
Im scared i was thinking earlier if there was a flash fact fiend video
8:55 That's Wally, not Barry lol
I would like to hear about Wally West Flash because he is just insanely powerful
I still want professor zoom in the flash. A speedster who controls time not speed
You ever seen Karl and The Flash in the same place at the same time?
7:12 Actually fun fact, the speed force kind of just ignores the laws of physics and literally just ignores wind resistance and friction
Actually, you're just ignorant of how the speedforce works. Anyone who has access the the speed force, is given protection against things like wind resistance and friction. All speedsters have a bubble around them that negates those effects, because their ALL aspects of the concept of speed, and they can even expand that bubble to other people, so they can move them around at superspeed, without shattering every bone in their body.
@@aaronself2411 Alr, your right, I’m just trying to summarize it up in a few words rather than a paragraph yk lol
7:08 but it's true...and it looks really cool👉👈
I'd still consider the X-Men movies Quicksilver as having Required Secondary Powers protecting him and his clothes from speed effects and the goggles as just a token effort. He spends a couple minutes in his own slow-time while already fired bullets are in midair, meaning the entire scene is tiny fractions of a second in real time, so he's probably 100s to 1000s of times faster than sound. And he's also obviously holding back cause he fucks around in the middle of doing it.
That Justice League Unlimited scene was Wally West. Who is, in fact, *significantly* faster than Barry Allen. Also: Once again recommending Moondragon for Wiki Weekends.
