I didn't know about the super healing thing, he was hobbling along for a long time in the tunnel it seemed. He can also vibrate. The explosion was going to hit him and he vibrated through it, and then got to running.

I thought that he saw it coming, has superspeed perceptions and is just like "welp gotta do this or nothing" and goes past light.

The visual of Flash reconstructing reality with each footstep as he goes back in time was probably one of the best comic book film things I have ever seen, matched with the superb score.

I didn't know about the super healing thing, he was hobbling along for a long time in the tunnel it seemed. I dunno how far Snyder meant for his powers to go visually, so who knows? In the comics, his power is literally vibrating his cells at a crazy rate, so much so that he can essentially rearrange his entire molecular structure and reassign it at will, allowing him to pass through solid objects. If you go by that, yeah, the blast wouldn't hurt him any. That kind of conflicts with him breaking the glass in his intro, though, so it might have just been either oversight or him finally realizing his full potential due to the stress of the moment. Read it how you want, really.

Like, you can shoot him in the back and his brain will go into superspeed mode when the bullet touches his skin and he'll dodge it/phase through it.

My favorite flash fact is that matter traveling at the speed of light becomes infinite, so one punch at that speed would destroy almost anything.

I'm going in on the whedon cut for the first time and I gotta say this whole scene before the title card is an infinitely cooler and more economical opening than loving superman screaming for five minutes or whatever I assume it's downhill from here but man this does a much better job establishing the basics, even if the song playing over this montage is terrible weird that superhero movies are better when things actually happen at a speedy clip e: this wonder woman rescue scene still sucks rear end with 2/3 of it cut out but it's not like it's any less dumb in the snyder cut abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Mar 19, 2021 |

Unless you're talking about the opening song, and that may have been Snyder and it's pretty much the only thing people like in that movie.

I thought the cell phone bit was cute and helps set up both the idea of a world in mourning (they're now seeing him as a hero instead of a weird alien). That and just doing SUPERMAN DEAD as a newspaper headline speeds us right along without any bullshit. I was mostly talking about the Batman scene where he baits out the parademon though. That's a real fun little opening fight before we start down the long road of exposition. Nice to see Batman doing Batman things. Other stuff hasn't been so good. Barry's prison marker gimmick is cute but unneeded, and as I said earlier I really enjoyed his full intro in the Snyder cut (and the full conversation with his dad). Aquaman/Batman scene goes too fast, should have gotten a glimpse of Aquaman in action first. Lots of show-not-tell problems. And Cyborg, whoof. I actually liked some of the new dialogue - him telling his dad how uncomfortable he is in this new body - but yeah, way too fast. At least show the accident itself, even if you drop the use of the Mother Box to keep him alive (dunno if they'll show that later). Still, at least it's paced like a normal goddamn movie. Liked the shot of the arrow signal flying through the sky being 5 seconds instead of 45.

There's a lot of Final Crisis in this film's bones.

^ yeah!! this whedon martha/lois scene sucks rear end but at least martha isn't gonna turn out to be the martian manhunter also the score in this sucks but at least the same loving 20 second bit won't play every time diana does anything, or as the subtitles put it, https://mobile.twitter.com/austin_walker/status/1372669141367320576?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

i am not a big comic book person but this movie is... insane, way too long, super self-indulgent... yet still pretty fun! a lot of very good scenes. much better than the poo poo whedon cut. you know you're in for a treat when the first 30 minutes include 10 minutes of slow motion AND 2 scenes of people staring to music.

I would be lying if I said Joss being a real piece of poo poo and Zach seeming like a decent guy doesn't effect my view of their films. I'm much more willing to give Zach a pass on poo poo because of this fact.

They're definitely saving the "Flash Runs Around The Planet" scene for another movie. Probably also saving the reveal that one of Bruce's 6 satellites is a weapon as well.
