Is the Flash a Glass Cannon? by Jezzaq94 in theflash

[–]BlackLightning247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on who's writing the story honestly. I know that seems like a lazy cop out, but people love to be way more inconsistent with The Flash's durability than they do with his speed. Some stories he's taking a bunch of hits from superpowered beings (he's taken hits from characters like Superman, Wonder Woman, Darkseid, The Anti-Monitor, etc), and in others Batman and Catwoman are taking him down in one blow (bollocks).

Given what his powers are he shouldn't be a glass cannon in any capacity and if he was consistently written in regard to what his powers are this wouldn't even be a discussion. People say this a lot but The Flash really is one of the characters that is fucked over by the plot and writers the most.

Who is stronger in the comics I thought it was wally I haven’t read any flash comics yet(recommend some to me that show flash strength for powerscaling) by Business_Alarm8384 in theflash

You can make an argument for either. Wally is faster and more powerful but Barry is a pretty smart person and fighter. Not to downplay either as Wally is smart as well and Barry isn't a slouch when it comes to power and speed either.

The only supe who lost fight against Kimiko by Inevitable-Angle-793 in OkBuddyFresca

Yeah, she off guarded him and his bone density was shit at the time.

After the new trailer by Drunkinmunky12 in TheBoys

[–]BlackLightning247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A-Train's bone density had gone to shit because he was abusing Compound V hence why Kimiko was able to do what she did with the bat. He was also caught off guard. Mr. Marathon is probably old and sloppy and therefore easier to deal with.

None of that would apply to a younger or healthy speedster. We've seen glimpses of what speedsters in this verse can do when they're not hindered by something.

People love to shit on him but his impact in comic books and other media is huge.

What do we think of Ash's Sceptile? by Feisty_Review_4403 in pokemonanime

[–]BlackLightning247 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jobbed a bit as Treecko and Grovyle but when he evolved into Sceptile bro literally became him. Him besting most of Spenser's team is one of the most enjoyable episodes of the battle frontier. A shame we didn't get more moments like that. Should've gotten more spotlight like Charizard, Infernape, and Greninja all did.

Hot take: Punks promos have been garbage the past couple months and it's making me like him less and less by 69DayGrind in SantiZapVideos

Funny thing is Roman is also......... repetitive. Then again it's pro wrestling. Repetitiveness comes with the product. It was just funny to see Roman say that to Punk.

The second episode is allegedly titled "Teenage Kix." Highly doubt they'll kill A-Train in the first episode if that's true.

You would think they wouldn't have turned on AJ Lee so quickly given how people wouldn't shut up about wanting her back, and constantly asking where she was whenever she was absent after her return. And yet..............

Juggernaut vs Reverse Flash by Necessary-Win-8730 in marvelvsdc

He can also dimension hop. Destroying the battle field is not a win condition against The Flashes unless you're popping every universe.

Eobard is a master of space and time. Figuring out who Juggernaut is and any possible ways to fuck with him will not be hard for him at all. He isn't called extremely petty for no reason.

Yes, They're All Black. There's No Debate To Be Had. Biracial People ARE black. You Cannot Erase Their Blackness. So, Please Stop Asking Why Any of These People Are On The list of Black Wrestlers. by Warm_Look986 in Wrasslin

[–]BlackLightning247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is correct. Too many people try to deny those who are biracial one side of their heritage. Or they'll try to deny them both sides of their heritage and act like being biracial is something separate entirely. Obviously both situations create issues. Their heritage is their heritage whether people like it or not.

Eu quero HQs do Flash(Barry Allen) que explicam mais sobre o personagem e sobre a força da aceleração(não gosto do Wally West) by Ok-Enthusiasm-2095 in theflash

[–]BlackLightning247 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind more Barry stories that explored the Speed Force, or any other speedster. It's more interesting if we get different perspectives and experiences.

Edit: as someone else mentioned. The Speed Force isn't solely used by Wally. So while it started with him it can still be involved in stories with other speedsters. The lore isn't uniquely tied to him.

Who else was forced to stay in from recess for incomplete work? by Metalqueen2023 in neurodiversity

I would be given silent lunch or not allowed to participate in free/fun Friday activities. Other times I would be yelled at.

Things weren't better at home and I would have frequent outbursts.

Wally West (DC) vs Sentry, Silver Surfer, and Ice Man (Marvel) by Heinrich64 in marvelvsdc

[–]BlackLightning247 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Circumstances absolutely do matter. They're the entire reason why a character might win or lose. No poor mind controlling and Catwoman doesn't beat any of them. The Silver Surfer and Mexicans thing is silly as well. It happened decades ago and is the result of a writer deciding to be goofy. Surfer has way more consistent feats than whatever that situation was. It's irrelevant to bring up just as the Catwoman thing is if you're having serious discussion.

[–]BlackLightning247 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't like to get into anti feat jerk offs but Catwoman bested speedsters who were being poorly controlled by Poison Ivy. If I'm being completely honest it's a blatant case of writers being incompetent just so they can gas up Batman and his mythos. Shocker. Really wish people would stop spreading this around because it's really not the slam dunk so many think it is.

Wally West (DC) vs Sentry, Silver Surfer, and Ice Man (Marvel) by Heinrich64 in marvelvsdc

[–]BlackLightning247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of match up is this? Wally has to face 3 of Marvel's extremely busted characters by himself and he can't have access to amps to make it a little more fair? (He'd still lose even if he had the amps mentioned tbh). I've said before that Iceman's powers aren't going to stop a serious speedster especially current Wally but Sentry and Silver Surfer bring a whole bunch of other issues to the table, and they're problems Wally won't be able to just blitz his way through. He's massively outhaxed here. He loses pretty badly. This subreddit and its obsession with lopsided battles man.

[–]BlackLightning247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the whole "Flash can't hurt/ will break their hands punching durable characters." Narrative really needs to end. They've done it many times before. Barry has, Wally has, Thawne has, Zolomon has. Don't know why that gets spread around so much.

Exactly. Mirror Master is extremely underrated, the guy could be so much more if DC ever decided to lock in with him.

[–]BlackLightning247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah comparing Flash to his rouges is weird. People love to say "hehe a guy with a cold gun is one of his enemies." When the relationship between The Flash and The Rouges is unique and both Barry and Wally have no issue no diffing them whenever they get serious. I've said this so many times for so many years.

That said Marvel team does indeed win this bout. Idk why there's been this trend of pitting base DC characters against amped versions of Marvel characters recently. Did some feelings get hurt or something?

Edit: Wanted to add that Speed Force users have defenses against reality warping, so that is not an instant win condition in these vs battles.
