Wow, I thought Madvocate finally escaped Flash content, but I guess “There’s nowhere to run!”

"Take a shot everytime the CGI looks like shit" Everyone dies of alcohol poisoning

Can't believe Madvocate of all people is the one to point out that cameos from the CW show would've made sense and been infinitely more respectful.

"You left that door open? No wonder you were killed." -- Oh man you got me with that one.

“There’s nowhere to run!” -Barry Allen (The Fastest Man Alive)

Madvocate's brain rotting knowing that he will still review all of the 9 seasons of The Flash

“Kinda defeats the whole anonymous super hero thing” Best Quote for this whole Movie 😂

The "it is of no concern" of palpatine never fails to make me laugh cause they really dont think about shit at all lmao

1:00:34 "Remember when you were infiltrating into Superman's fortress and a shovel fell doing ton shit of noise? It was me, Barry. I pushed the shovel so it seemed like you were stupid at just a shovel's drop!" Thawne, 2023, probably.

It would've been infinitely more funny if Batman just went "I had everything under control" when the lasso of truth was on him.

Barry gives up on saving billions of lives after coming to the conclusion that Zod winning is an inevitable intersection in all realities despite coming from a reality where Zod was defeated and Earth was saved. What a hero.

40:10 Barry could've literally said that a new friend will come, and if "Terry" asks who it is, Barry could've just said: "A really cool guy is going to land *right here,* you two will become friends and he's gonna be the one who gives you your superpowers." *And technically, Barry wouldn't be lying.*

Two things you missed 1. They have discovered the formula for giving people super speed and might possibly be able to give anyone super speed 2. If Barry really did wanted to help his dad and not change anything else, he could have just gone to his home in super speed and saw who killed his mother. Simply observing the event, while not changing it

Flash stopping to talk/watch is an inevitable intersection in every universe/timeline XD

Regarding Henry, it's even worse. The movie is playing a simple trick on you. Nora was stabbed right around time Henry got back from the shop. His only witness is young Barry, who saw him OUTSIDE the house at the time of murder. Movie sells you on the premise, that recording somehow proofs his innocence, but does not tell you how. What happened: Henry went to the shop -> got back (witnessed by Barry) -> heard the scream -> rushed to the house What movie sells: Nora was murdered when Henry was in the shop

"If the timeline is erased after it's fixed, there'd be no point in saving it." Funnily enough, Flashpoint, the comic this movie is based upon, had Barry and Thomas Batman heavily discuss this exact point. Barry starts off wanting to save the timeline, both because he wants his mom alive and because, if he's not able to undo this, this will be the timeline they're stuck with.

They literally ended the movie with the one bad solution(altering the past again) instead of having Barry try to figure out the real murderer. What a joke.

I genuinely cannot comprehend James Gunn, the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy films, saying The Flash was good, let alone "one of the best superhero movies he's ever seen". It's like a complete juxtaposition as if from an alternate reality where James Gunn in fact doesn't have the talent he has and has no idea about anything related to his career.

As a cashier, I remember seeing every person that came through my line for 3 days max. Outside from that I have never seen you before even if we had a serious heart felt conversation 4 days ago (with one person as an exception)

What I love is how in that hospital rescue scene with all the babies I was fully expecting him to run up the line of babies as if they’re a staircase in order to reach the dog. With how weirdly comedic that scene was my guess wasn’t that outside the realm of possibilities!

10:26 not gonna lie, I was expecting Barry to start using the babies as stepping stones

You know what's crazy about the entire film's premise? What happened if the Flash just looked through time, you know, like they demonstrated, to the moment of his mother's death to find the killer's exact identity this way? Then it would just be a matter of working out how he's going to prove the killer was the one who truly did it now that he has the identity

The Palpatine "it is of no concern" joke is comedic gold looooollllll

23:20 The thing is, the flash in the comics is a pretty popular public figure/celebrity, even up to the point where he gets his own museum. So the ring that he wears can just be written off as flash "merch", as someone wearing merchandise of their favourite superhero isn't that much of a strange thing to do.

i genuinely will never understand why when they have these MASSIVE life changing budgets for movies they cant pay to have a half decent script for it, its not that hard to just follow your own established rules but they seem to take sadistic pleasure in breaking their own rules just a scene or two after establishing it

A detail that most probably was missed by non-spanish speaking audiences. The "wholesome" song Barry's mom is singing/cooking to tell the story of a low life thug who kills a prostitute while trying to rob her. Song's name: Pedro Navaja (Switchblade Pedro, I guess, if you want a translation)

I thought the whole point of speed force was preventing the Flash's powers from being a destructive force. Kinda obviously important part of his powers as you can see how hard they struggled to make him save people without it.

I'm so glad you committed so hard to the Top Gun bit. This video is a masterpiece. We need a CW live action Madvocate show.

I noticed one more inconsistentcy. The beginning shows that energy meter on Barry's arm to show he's running low on calories, but Edgy Terry has apparently been running for decades and presumably hasn't stopped to eat or go to the bathroom. Otherwise he would've been force to stop for a moment and think about what he's doing........like the possibility of going back a full day rather than only a few minutes to save Batman and Supergirl.

i can feel madvocate’s wisdom entering me from all holes

it's a minor thing but at 44:00 it's truly incredible how much worse zod's transmission to earth looks in the flash vs man of steel, like would it not have been simpler to just reuse the same footage from man of steel rather than attempting to recreate it and ending up with,,, that???

I'm honestly so glad Madvocate is doing an S5 video for The Flash. I'm genuinely excited to see him destroy that season's writing lmao.

The Homelander "Fastest Man Alive" clip always gets me.

The Flash has become to Madvocate what Miraculous Ladybug has become to Cyrus.

Wait. Here's a detail that Madvocate missed. If Batman expected to find Super-Man (so a male) when he found Kara, it means that he didn't watch Zod's threat. The world's best detective spent a whole night finding out where an Alien is being detained, but did not spend a minute to listen to Zod's threat once? That's probably the first thing to do. Of course there must be thousands of footage that recorded Zod's threat, with his face and voice. It's so important, how could he not have watched it?

1:02:45 - Stargate SG-1 did this perfectly. In one episode, all of SG-1 gets superspeed, and Carter tries to write a book on astrophysics but she types so fast that the computer can't keep up, and she has to take several breaks of several minutes in order for the word program to fill with the several paragraphs she just wrote. She complains about it to her team members. It's hilarious!

Imagine if the movie started with him having to constantly be saving people, just a ridiculous amount of running and trying to run faster, until eventually he breaks into the time bubble thingy. He then decides with all his stress to go back and see his mom. Not talk to her, he wouldn't actually go interact with that time, just look at it. And he goes back more and more often to visit and talk at her from the bubble until eventually he breaks down from all the stress of being a hero andtries to save her. It would be such a better character moment and would explain some of the dumb decisions he makes

Honestly, the flash was a refreshing superhero movie to watch. Not cause it was good or anything, but it was so fun bad that it temporarily cured me of superhero fatigue.

The only way this movie is remotely enjoyable is that I was able to watch it vicariously through your video which is 100% better so thank you for once again delivering absolute bliss with your content, Madvocate

I honestly thought Flash not learning his lesson was an integral part of his character

"Lightning gave me abs." stll the best line in the show

You gotta love how the guy with tech that seems almost like magic, is chasing some bad guys While the guy with superspeed is trying to stop a building from collapsing

I'm truly awestruck by the sheer volume of funny/fitting clips you're able to insert into your videos for reactions/punchlines. How do you even source all of these? Do you think of the clip and then go find it or do you have a library of famous clips of people laughing, screaming, etc.? Absolutely magnificent

Barry with his mask on always looks like that one top angle on a character's face you get in anime when they're about to go insane except from the bottom

I got dumped yesterday, didn’t think anything could cheer me up and then Madvocate came down from the skies like an arch angel and posted this heat

First time coming across your content, and I just gotta say, I love that you use Agents of Shield clips in your reactions. I really miss these characters.

I cheered when I saw the sponsor. Congratulations on making it! We're so happy for you

WHY IS NOBODY POINTING OUT THAT FLASH CAN’T FIX THE UNIVERSE FOR DECADES BECAUSE HE’D RUN OUT OF CALORIES!?

11:14 Of course she's screaming, her spine is jelly and the pain is catching up to her.

I cant believe it CW flash having more logic than multi million dollar movie

something about the time-travel explanations reminded me of a novel, "the Gordian Protocol", by David Weber and Jacob Holo. they initially thought that there were NO repercussions from time travel, that any changes they made would simply fade away. some VERY nasty people were sort of exploiting that, doing lots of VERY nasty things. for example, when told to go to the Library of Alexandria and "preserve" the books, they slaughtered EVERYONE THEY SAW and LAUGHED! the protagonist had put a stop to most of that, by putting recordings of it on the public internet. BUT, then he and his AI partner get caught up in a strange phenomenon they come to call "The Knot", where at least a dozen timelines are all tangled up in an unnatural way! the AI says, "i've been analyzing the data, and i've just realized, we were wrong. about EVERYTHING." the protagonist says, "you mean...an alternate timeline where that slaughter at Alexandria happened still EXISTS?" so then they try to go home, only to find that THEY are stuck in the WRONG timeline... and it gets MORE complicated from there!

32:52 I swear the Boys creator made this scene JUST for you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can't wait for him to do 4 videos about how inconsistent the spin off show of this movie is!

i like the small clips from other movies and shows. this video was fun as hell

Unfathomably real with that Sasha Calle death stare comment. My exact thoughts seeing her in the suit for the first time.

It’s nice to know this flash canonically sees people as Telltale games models

How come Barry in this version CANNOT move someone while using super speed, but he can vibrate someone so fast their atoms slip past the atoms of other solid objects and they're fine? Why didn't they just say Barry phased through the wall alone and unlocks the door? It makes sense he can do this in other versions, cause he can extend the speed force to other people temporarily, kinda like physics armor so they don't just atomize when he moves them. But in this they establish relocation is fatal, so come on DC, get your shit toge-Oh...... It's dead.

The tomato can relocation was bad writing to the furthest degree. All he had to do was take the fathers hat off the hat rack at their home so that the cap wouldn't cover his face on the camera because he would have just left the house without a hat then. Instead he butterfly effects the shelf with all the cans... Now someone has to reset that shelf, a bunch of customers buy a differently priced item without their knowledge, etc. The hat would have only affected the father... If I can think of this Barry Allen should have too.

It's so daft how there's lightening bolts visible to everyone when he uses his powers, even just slightly. It makes his power seem redundant. You can't go superfast for even a few seconds without causing a mini-lightning storm

Crazy with how fast and loose Barry plays with 'hiding' his secret identity, Lex STILL has no idea who he is (Justice League Animated)

8:23 For some reason, no one notices that the two people seen behind the doors where the nurse is would be killed since Flash didn't save them. We also don't see them falling from the building.

13:07 is perfection

The true reason why the VFX are bad/average is because they sold the vfx contract to the lowest bidder. The result being scenes where you can tell the care is there but the budget and time was not. It is unacceptable from DC and Warner Brothers and they should be ashamed to dip this low.

There is actually nothing in BvS about Batman deciding not to kill people anymore. That idea was entirely made up by fans of the movie as a cope. Batman's arc in BvS is just about deciding not to kill Superman specifically.

The fucking thumbnail got me lmfao

I think this movie would be amazing if the script was actually Barry going back in time to find out who killed his mom, so he could collect evidence to put this person in jail in the present. Then, he would cross Reverse Flash's way and he would be the villain for the movie.

I think it is implied that Barry was aware that he ended up in the past, but he just let the emotions could his judgement, and only when he saw a younger self he snapped back to reality of the situation.

God I hate the lasso now. Sure, I could buy that touching it would make whatever you say truthful but it doesn't force you to voice your inner dialogue. Aquaman sitting on it wasn't terrible (though I don't like it doing it's thing uncontrolled), but they took it to the extreme and now any contact with it is just a tool for gags.

51:52 In fact, this is the best time travel mechanics, as it allows you not to violate Novikov self-consistency principle. If the Flash changes time, then it should change, which means there will be no reason for its time travel, which means it should not travel in time. If you change something in another universe, then you don't change yourself and your universe is preserved. This is represented in Marvel's time travel. Novikov's principle of self-consistency is also well shown in the film "12 Monkeys" when you travel through time in your universe, but you cannot influence the situation in any way, since your intervention has already been taken into account. Perhaps I misunderstood something or wrote it wrong, since English is not my native language. Thanks for your videos, I'm a big fan.

Man the fucking memes and clips edited in are perfect, just fucking perfect :D I appreciate the editor and scriptwriter!

Great break down. Just wanted to say that the yellow spaghetti on his suit was explained breifly in passing later in the movie that it dissipates the static that his superspeed builds up

Man we really completely skipped over the fact that kryptonians, f**king kryptonians, are reverse flashable. I know this movie has far more glaring flaws but this means that Flash is now the most powerful justice leaguer (faster than anyone else and an instant kill move more lethal than anyone else and time travel abilities) and even more egregious than this, his powers are far from exclusive to him. Batman, green lantern or even Steve from HR could get these f**king powers of Barry was willing to share them. When Darkseid shows up he should get absolutely EVISCERATED. Even the CW made sure that reverse flash couldn’t phase through Kara’s chest because they knew that it would break EVERYTHING.

I love it when Flash said it was flashing time and flashed everyone

I’m never watching this movie but great video

this show makes the flash series look like a masterpiece

I can’t believe Bruce left Flash a… FLASH-drive!

This movie fundamentally doesn’t understand the Flash’s powers or how basic momentum works. He doesn’t slow down time, he moves super fast, there’s a very big difference

They clearly took aspects from the animated flashpoint movie. Yet they look out some of the coolest aspects. In the flashpoint animated movie timeline Bruce was the one who died in the alleyway that night, turning his father into Batman and his mom became the joker. Or how both wonder woman and Aquaman existed but were actively trying to take over the world. Superman was captured and imprisoned similar to this movie.

The thumbnail bruh why no one is talking about it 💀

I love how every shot of a movie you put into your videos perfectly incapsulates the emotion of what you’re saying

Makkari from the Eternals is still one of the best if not THE best live action adaptation of a speedster imo. She actually feel fast and I really like the lack of bullet time sequences.

Cw's The Flash tv shows first couple of seasons were amazing when they came out 10 years ago.

Lyrics: If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? He came to town like a midwinter storm He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun But all he had come for was having some fun If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? He brought disaster wherever he went The hearts of the girls was to Hell, broken, sent They all ran away so nobody would know And left only men 'cause of Cotton-Eye Joe If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

Man these CGI effects are so good and realistic.......in 1990

6:50 this is why makkari, running scene in the eternals is actually a lot better than the flash.makkari does big leaps but also her feet runs and not slides

1:23:20 ITS MAN!!!! THE ASLUME IS CANONICAL

I always hated the "The VFX is bad on purpose because this is what the Flash is seeing" excuse. There is a clear difference with purposefully "Bad" vissual effects to convey something compared to just outright bad VFX because they couldn't be bothered to really try and this movie's VFX is clearly the case with the latter.

i always wondered why they made superheroes like Superman or Flash who have been shown to travel faster than the speed of light need to have their costumes on them underneath their clothes or somewhere very near. They could keep them in the north pole and get them and put them on in a ... flash? And when absolutely necessary they can move so fast to hide their identity even when they don't have their costumes.

Flash/freeze/speedster Time (whatever you wanna call it) doens't make any sense to me, and I don't understand if I'm missing something or what. So, Super Perception is a Required Secondary Power for speedsters (otherwise they would crash into everything) so "it makes sense" that if they want they can perceive the world freezed. But...they aren't time wizards, if they want to act in a "frozen world" they have move quickly, right? And yet in these sequences they are always shown moving normally, standing still, looking around and so on. So speedsters, who are supposed to be fast, actually move in fast forward, Benny Hill style. Ok...(not really), but then if the way they move has no connection to the speed they move why are they always shown running? And if they perceive things at normal speed when they activaye Super Perception (which is required to not crash into things) how are they not going crazy of boredom when doing typical speedsters stunts like running around the globe?

Props to the director for defending, in all likelihood, an overworked, underpaid army of vfx people on a severe time crunch. And putting the blame on himself.

They call him Madvocate because he went insane after experiencing all the Flash content. Godspeed you madlad.

The technology on his wrist working at super speed actually does make sense (probably) because the Speed Force would need to accelerate everything Barry is touching to allow it to move in sync with him, otherwise he'd tear his own clothes off his body. But also these movies both do and don't allow Speed Force to make conveniences pretty inconsistently, because friction from the air will still damage normal clothing, and also touching objects and people at high speed switches from being safe or dangerous as the scene demands.

18:25 actually there used to be a show on i think discovery, where a career burglar changed his ways and now would test home security with mock burglaries. and in one episode, he said it's pretty often that burglars will strike in the daytime, because people dont expect it. so they will monitor a target and try to find a point where they vacate the house in the daytime.

The cut to full metal jacket after the sandwich was enough to make me literally spit my drink rn. Amazing edit

Barry and his mom's interaction at the end also has a forth huge issue. When he switches the soup can at the end he uses superspeed inches always from his mom's face, replaces the can and get back to the same position and his mom doesn't even flinch even though the start of the movie clearly shows using superspeed in someone's vicinity doesn't mean it not noticeable.

I really appreciate your videos, Madvocate! As a writer, they've really helped me think about the staging of scenes as well as abilities and powers the characters have at their disposal! Please keep up the great work, even if it's degrading the mind and soul!

Can't get over the fact how much money they threw out. Why use so many VFX shots? They literally made Flash a floating head on a CGI body.

I got a DUI because the police arrested a dude saying he was me and he had a record. He got arrested and had a mug shot under my name but no fingerprints were ever ran. I can completely believe a police force failed their job getting a man arrested for murder lol

I feel this barry has an excuse to not always use super speed seeing how he needs to actually worry about conserving energy instead of eating a magical energy bar that gives him the energy he needs to run
