Speed force BS will though

If an object hit earth faster then the speed of light it would obliterate the planet. That would at the very least hurt.

u/TheShlappening Apr 11 '24

The Flash could easily phase through and rip his heart out, Red Rush is a joke by comparison.

Something something speed force invincible has a flashpoint and viltrumites never became conquerors and the universe is somehow worse

u/P_UDDING THINK, MARK! THINK! Apr 11 '24

but then mark might not exist bc if viltrumites aren't conqueres, nolan probably wouldn't end up on earth

This pisses me off so much because the implication of saying "flash is faster than light" seem too obvious to literally everyone except the person that wrote it. Like, the flash only has to be as fast as a fighter jet or race car, and he would still be able to hold himself in a fight and be the fastest person on earth.

Why make him so fast?

2

u/TheShlappening Apr 11 '24

Because on a cosmic scale a fight jet and race car are stupidly slow. Flash sometimes has to deal with people that are moving at these speeds also. You should look up the "1 Min War" That is some good Flash story right there.

u/Nebukhanezzar Apr 11 '24

That's what I mean though. The only time that flash is good is when his enemies are palette swaps of him with the same or similar powers. Any other story and he doesn't fit. That's why the show is so frustrating because he has to be completely incompetent to have any conflict with normal villains.

1

u/TheShlappening Apr 12 '24

That isn't at all what I meant, he battles people that teleport and use illusions and other things that do require big speed. The show you are talking about is dumb as shit and misuses him entirely. However people keep thinking a hero needs to be some vulnerable human that people can relate to. The point of heroes and their powers is they are beyond us and there is no relating to them. When I and many others watch One Punch Man we don't think about how dumb it is that no one is a challenge to him. We know he will win and it's still amazing! You just have to write the stories better and utilize the hero the way they should.

u/Nebukhanezzar Apr 12 '24

One Punch man is a good example. But when one punch creates conflict it uses Saitama being socially awkward or weird as the conflict. Not the enemies themselves. Or they give him an enemy that can fight on his level like Lord Boros. The entire show has to be tuned around Saitama.

The problem is that the justice league and flash show plots/villains are made for normal superheroes, while flash is a living god amongst men so the writers either make him an idiot who can't do anything despite being FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT or he would since the problem instantly.

Most of One Punch Man is comedic and not to be taken seriously because every fight ends in one punch. But they expect us to take flash seriously in a lot of stuff he's in.

u/Galilleon Apr 11 '24

Because it’s cool. Because the sheer scale is a power fantasy and most superheroes are geared towards that, because it’s epic, wondrous and inspiring, however dumb it may be

u/Graphacil Apr 11 '24

dick measuring contest for writers

1

u/Nebukhanezzar Apr 11 '24

Okay, but 90% of modern super hero stuff is fighting villains and drama. Villains who aren't going at the speed of light. This makes all conflict/drama null or they have to make the hero so incompetent that all the wonder and inspiration are lost. And when a hero can just do anything, they lose their luster. Like remember when him and Superman had comparable speeds at one point? Lol

1

u/Round-Ad2836 Apr 11 '24

Because of the silver age of comics. It was a lot sillier. Barry allen could just, casually time travel by running fast and use a potato dehydration to reverse his obesity.

u/Nebukhanezzar Apr 11 '24

Sure, but every single other super hero sort of became more grounded over time. Superman isn't turning back time by rotating the earth anymore. Yet for some reason, even in the most serious justice league media, the flash in terms of power is literally a god compared to everyone else. He could solve almost every problem instantly. Yet I'm supposed to act like he's just "another one of the heroes". It's like every time they could've given him a limitation, they just said "naw".

How fast is he? Multiple times the SPEED OF LIGHT.😭

Is there a consequence to his body for going really fast? No. He's fine after going at top speeds for entire fights. He can go around the planet to punch someone at top speed and his hand will be fine.

Maybe his brain could be normal and he can't process all that information if he goes too fast? Nope his brain goes super speed too, lol.

Okay, he's overpowered, but at least he can't control reality and time itself right? Right?!

Damn, this guy is pretty powerful. Surely he'll be regularly fighting godlike beings and fixing large scale problems on earth like world hunger? Surely, he won't be fighting average thugs and friendly neighborhood spiderman-type villains...

u/Round-Ad2836 Apr 11 '24

They tried making the flash more grounded.it had mixed results. Meanwhile, people LIKE the silly stuff. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm a flash fan, and i don't really engage with "who would win" stuff featuring them. "Oh, who would win, strong guy, or guy who can rip strong guy's heart out at the speed of time." Blegh.

Not saying your reasoning is invalid. It's totally fair, but we're just approaching the character for different reasons.

1

u/Nebukhanezzar Apr 11 '24

I like the silly stuff too. I love that shit. The problem is that the flash is a DC character. And a DC character in the Justice League. Justice League and modern DC stories usually want to be taken seriously. And they want you to feel threatened by the villains. The flash as he exists with all his powers and abilities is a massive disruption to that. He's a silly character with an absurd amount of power, that they want to be taken seriously. That's why the shows and newer flash comics get so much criticism.

I would love a version of flash that exists outside of DC and the Justice League. A guy that's more like a Saitama or Metro man where all of his problems are larger than life on account of him literally being a time traveling demigod. I think there's a reason that the story where he goes back and saves his mom is so popular for adaptation. It's a conflict that only the flash can solve.

u/Rajesh_Kulkarni Apr 11 '24

Tbf, viltrumites are faster than light too.

u/Comprehensive_Pin602 Apr 11 '24

The difference between The flash and viltrumites is that flash is so fast he can go back in time or forward in time and has been stated to run faster then thought, time, and reality itself that’s how fast Flash is he lives his life in slow motion cause he is so fast conversations feel like hours to him that’s how fast he is Viltrumites are insanely fast yes but the flash is the pure embodiment of speed

u/No-Rooster3937 Apr 11 '24

lol everyone is faster than the speed of light, hell even spider-man is faster than the speed of light. (Not saying he’d do any real damage) it’s hard to stand out when you’re surrounded by gods. Point being….. It takes viltrumites days to weeks traveling the universe, it takes Supes seconds. And the flash is still faster than him

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '24

Tbh, the flash without writer constraints can do something exactly like that
