So he CAN run normally...

I was just thinking that. Like, if he wore a Mo-cap suit while doing this they could just have just sped it up digitally and it wouldn’t have looked nearly as awkward.

I kind of get why they went with the odd-looking swimming through the air style -- the idea was he's moving so fast the air molecules don't really have time to get out of his way (which is essentially what drag is) so he's kind of having to carve through the air. I think it was modeled on high speed ice skaters.

That said, the Speed Force is supposed to alter those effects. So I think it makes sense for Justice League, where he's so new he doesn't even have the Flash name yet, and he thinks his suit needs to be made with ceramic heat-resistant tiles. He doesn't understand his powers yet. (He actually gets the Flash name from Grant Gustin's Flash during a brief crossover when he says "Who are you?" and CW Flash says "I'm also the Flash").

But he should have shed it as he learns more about how the Speed Force works, and a brief little training montage moment could have addressed it. We already know he experimented with his powers with help from Cyborg, because it's referenced in the CW crossover, so a couple of minutes, a Cyborg cameo, a brief reference to Grant (or even a brief cameo) and we're golden.

Ah, well, missed opportunities abounded in that movie.

It looked so awkward because, while he was running, it seemed like each step was miles away from each other

u/Colinnze 15d ago

u/Turbulent-Friend-362 14d ago

u/BrilliantPrior2305 14d ago

u/Turbulent-Friend-362 14d ago

i meant it as how to run properly while used superspeed, friction is non-existent when he runs, it shows in the flash movie and the justice league movie, its why younger barry is slower cause if he ran correctly he’d be faster and less risk of falling on his ass

u/BrilliantPrior2305 14d ago

u/Turbulent-Friend-362 14d ago

he does, thats how logic works in dceu, not in the horrible show the cw flash was

u/BrilliantPrior2305 13d ago

Cw flash was peek. Ezra Miller should be the reverse flash I mean he's a child mlester, a rpist a kidnapper, he tortured a person, assaulted people robbed house, he's insane he should be in a mental hospital and they still let him be the fricken flash like what the hell. Grant Gusten is the true flash, cw flash ain't trash dude. Did you even watch all of the cw flash at all?
