    Wally deserves more recognition. He was the true and main flash for 20 years and is just as much of the flash as Barry. I like them equally but Wally is arguably better

      wally was the one that inspired barry's new character outside of comics, the cw he cracks jokes as much as tobey maguire spider-man does (ik not alot), the lego he is better at cracking jokes than being a hero and uhh, what else?

  • @CommanderSteelTrap
    @CommanderSteelTrap Před 3 lety +27

    Barry will always be my favourite superhero. He created the speed force, discovered the multiverse, helped stop crisis and had that one moment where he went faster than any other flash.

    • @CommanderSteelTrap
      @CommanderSteelTrap Před rokem +2

      @TFoxRNG Yeah he did. It was revealed back in Flash Rebirth that he created it and he generates it as he runs.

    • @CommanderSteelTrap
      @CommanderSteelTrap Před rokem +2

      @TFoxRNG No, it’s still canon. It’s never been retconned to not be canon, so it still is canon.

    • @CommanderSteelTrap
      @CommanderSteelTrap Před rokem

      @TFoxRNG When did they de-canonise it? Because as far as I can tell, they never did.

    • @CommanderSteelTrap
      @CommanderSteelTrap Před rokem +3

      @TFoxRNG It being introduced in Wally’s run doesn’t mean anything, but none of that really contradicts Barry being the one who made it. Barry creating it made it so it now existed throughout all of time and was always a thing, but he is still the origin point of it. And yes, it’s power is derived from The Source, as is literally everything in the DC Omniverse. And Wally being seen as it’s guardian also means nothing, Barry created it, but Wally mastered it. Regardless of how you feel about it, it is still canon and they likely won’t change that anytime soon.

    2.For Barry read flash rebirth
    3.For wally read mark waids run on the flash collected in flash by mark waid book 1 (does include born to run)
    4.For Bart although many say to read flash the fastest man alive I'd recommend reading The Impulse by mark waid omnibus that's coming out next month. (It's much better than fastest man alive)

    In the 40's Jay Garrick was The Flash after inhaling heavy water vapors. He fought with the J.S?a for several years and reemerged in the 90/2000s. Barry Became the Flash many years later and was the man who created the speedforce. He took up a sidekick named Wally West who was Kid Flash until he was erased form existence and caught in the speeedforce by Abra Kadabra. It was during this time Barry did Flashpoint. Barry got a new sidekick named Bar Torr/Bart Allen who was a criminal from the future and according to Wally's memories might be Barry Allen's grandson. Bart is eventually arrested by the future police. Wally West 2 was Iris's other nephew who is the Flash in the future and he gets speed and becomes Kid Flash. During Rebirth Wally West 1 reemerges from the speedforce and now exists again due to the time/dimensional meddling during Darkseid War and Dr. Manhattan.

That's why they are so much younger than usual/ some relationships are gone/ Wally and Bart erased or rather rewritten. (SPOILER) But don't worry, Wally West (the original) comes back from the speed force and into the new 52.

      True, but he is more of the exception than the rule. Miles Morales (who I love overall) has a super villain uncle, Storm is an ex-theif, Static was involved in a gang fight when he got his powers, Falcon was a pimp and an agent of the Red Skull when he got a more developed backstory, John Stewart was anti-authority in the vein of the Black Power movement, Luke Cage was a criminal and named after the Black Power movement, etc. Not even Latino characters are so nearly universally given a crime-related backstory, though they get it pretty bad, too.

    You forgot Iris West II. Wally's daughter who becomes Impulse after Bart becomes Kid Flash. She's so cute with her little lightning earrings.

    I think it would be cool if you did a video on jay garreck since he just got on the flash show and probibly not that many people know who he is

    bring some more Jay. I feel like everybody knows enough about Barry but then Bart would be pretty interesting too!
