I'd like to thank the thread for the exquisite analysis of why that Flash page is, in fact, not bad rear end at all, but blah blah blah gently caress.

If you were to remove the dialogue, this image would be terrifying. It's the way he puts his entire giant hand around her arm like that.

Crowetron posted:This feat accomplished by this superhero is impossible! What is this, a comic book?! You don't see a humorous difference between "man runs almost as fast as the speed of light" and "man runs almost as fast as the speed of light, traveling much further than light would be able to travel in the same amount of time" ? One is 'thing that's physically impossible for a normal human to do', the other is 'thing that the narrative specifically dictates is mathematically incorrect.' It's not like the flash writers have a bunch of other cool powers to represent... He does one thing. Why not do a little bit of research?

I'm sorry I brought it up! I like the pages and think they're badass. I also like looking at the actual math and find it funny how much you have to break the laws of nature to make it work.

It wasn't so much that really, it was the deadpan "yeah man that totally makes it not bad rear end" responses . This may or may not be bad rear end due to questionable things like "there's no way he can get leverage to do that" and "the rock near his hands would just break off before a lot of damage was done"  Incredible Hulk vol. 2 #64

There's this picture of Hulk lifting a mountain that's just complete crap, as that mountain would just crumble and bury Hulk in rubble. Or are the writers trying to tell me that Hulk has the same powers of tactile telekinesis as Superman? I find that highly unlikely.

 Look, it's easy. The Flash travels at the speed of Plot. No, I mean that literally. The Flash travels as fast as he needs to. That's the whole point of the Speed Force. When he's aware of how fast he's going, then the worry about it makes it so that he might vanish into the Speed Force, but when he's too busy, as when he's saving a city full of people at much faster than the speed of light, he doesn't realize how much danger he's in and exceeds his limits. Ta-da! Problem solved. Let's leave it alone until the next time someone posts that page six months from now, okay? tldr: It's all in the Flash's head.

Look, man, I don't give a poo poo if the flash goes faster than the speed of light. I don't care HOW fast he goes. Just don't tell me in omniscient narrator boxes exactly how fast he's going if you're gonna be wrong about it. The narrative does not benefit in any way from knowing he took .00001 microseconds to save those people instead of .01 microseconds, or 1 second, or whatever. I won't look behind the curtain if you don't leave it open. Ignite Memories fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Aug 10, 2015 |

You are some joyless sonsabitches, y'all know that? It's comic books. Half the time it literally is "A wizard did it." Stop trying to apply scientific rules, that poo poo went out the window a long time ago.

Yes, I can see everything past your first sentence. :\ that is all clearly in the panels. Why are these universes colliding? I mean, hulk knocks over buildings all the time. Not really something new.

The multiverse is collapsing, two universes collide with each other and either one is destroyed or both are. Then, after you've murdered a few billion people to save everyone you know and love, you hit the next universe in the line and have to do it all over again. This is the end, only 616 and the Ultimate Universe remain. Everyone dies.
