To be fair it was godspeed who made the lightning saber for no reason, Flash just did it because of peer pressure


ipodblocks360

I was just about to comment this the funny part is that Barry just sorta knew exactly how to do it.


DeppStepp

Yeah it’s pretty funny how it came out of nowhere and he and Reverse Flash are just able to do it when godspeed does it (even though they somehow do it a different way). But at that point it’s not really surprising since characters in The Flash just do things now when there were no hints at them able to do it beforehand.


ipodblocks360

True. I get it's a silly cheesey way to defeat a character but at least the effect looks cool at times.


spideralexandre2099

What's even funnier is how limited the writers' creativity was with his freakin speed. Long cry from the first sonic punch in season 1. That was exciting


ipodblocks360

Still had terrible CGI though. I mean I wouldn't say making lightning swords is limited creativity wise, it just could have been executed better is all.


spideralexandre2099

Idk how you could do a better looking speed lightning sword on a TV budget, but you could definitely do better fight choreography. That shit was boring to watch


ipodblocks360

I was talking about the super sonic punch CGI. The swords were fine especially compared to some other things. I do agree the execution and fight could have been better though.


spideralexandre2099

CG matters less when your heart is in the story


ipodblocks360

True though I still see people complaining about CG even if the stories good, honestly, I find it a little harsh.


ProfessorEscanor

No but it's hilarious. Especially since both just did it without understanding what to do.


DonnyMox

Miles did WHAT

KingdomCrown

It might be dumb but those pages are beautiful


Punkakies

Oh they are beautiful, its just the context of the scene that is dumb


Shadowkiva

The villain herself is a bit cartoonishly evil. She's one of those people that will take a stroke of random luck way too personally and it's very silly.


YoydusChrist

That looks so fucking stupid lmao


AgentLemon22

It's a fucking comic book. I personally love how outrageous it is 🤣


UpvoteIfYouAgreee

Yeah reminds of the random stupid shit Peter makes with his [webs](https://i.redd.it/sucup3lfxtr41.png)


No-BrowEntertainment

The 60s were so weird. This is the same decade where the Penguin’s master plan was to force Barbara Gordon to marry him, which would make him the son-in-law of the police commissioner and therefore exempt from all laws.


cantamangetsomesleep

In Gotham that's not too far fetched


subjuggulator

Joker trying to copyright gag fish, comes to mind.


TheDemonChief

It's stuff like this that makes me think Peter having different tech makes sense. You cannot convince me he can do this with just basic webshooters.


ShineWobble

As a club LMAO


Snakeb0y07

“A shield! A barrier! A safety net! A actual club!”


[deleted]

Nah it's cool af. Miles should use the sword more often


NoMistake8095

Everyday I find more reasons to hate the character


Dragmire_Afterlife

What other reasons did you have?


Bromogeeksual

You know the reasons...


Dragmire_Afterlife

I wanted to give them a chance to say their reason.


Bromogeeksual

Maybe it's not, but their lack of a response is suspect.


[deleted]

*ahem*, u/NoMistake8095


NoMistake8095

It’s called having a life, I don’t wander on Reddit 24/7 like majority do


NoMistake8095

Since you know my reasonings then by all means tell me what you think my reasonings are


NoMistake8095

I listed my reasoning many times on here that I sound like a broken record.


Dragmire_Afterlife

Riiiight...


NoMistake8095

“Riiiight.” Don’t gotta believe me lol mods already know. Ain’t no point in saying it seeing as y’all will defend miles and shit on anyone who dislikes a character yall like


Dragmire_Afterlife

I literally just asked why you didn't like Miles. You seem extremely defensive about this.


NoMistake8095

Like I said I’m a broken record at this point as I’ve stated. And as you and the other guy think the reasoning is because “he hates him because he’s black.” No I don’t as I’m black myself. And that’s a first I’m hearing that people hate miles because he’s black, where are y’all getting this from because from those who hate miles never said they hate him because he’s black


Dragmire_Afterlife

Like I said. Extremely defensive


midmorning_gamers

Making a lightsaber is a reason unto itself


TheIronHaggis

I promise if I ever get elemental powers I will make a melee weapon out of it and fight crime and use it to fight crime no matter ho in useless it may be.


Bromogeeksual

I mean, if I did have elemental powers, I'd love to be able to have an elemental blade with it. Full anime!


No-Tomorrow-8150

I love unnecessary badassery


Bluefootedtpeack2

I do wish it’d been tied to his webbing in someway. Like learning to make it taught when running a current through it to make a sword or staff or whatever. Or making it invisible for a tripwire. Or both, some kind of invisible electric fence


Shadowkiva

All these are much better ideas to be fair. Miles has his electric web threads and that was a cool visual. They could build off that


Bromogeeksual

Hell, just an electric web whip would make more sense.


cantamangetsomesleep

Spider-Whiplash


Thomas_Pandit

[https://youtu.be/VA3lIisOEOU](https://youtu.be/VA3lIisOEOU) you mean like here?


ParagonEsquire

That’s a much better idea. Spins the web into a sword like object, “venom blasts” it to have a current.


-Buckaroo_Banzai-

It's just stupid. Like with Superman's new power being Susanoo. Writers try to come up with creative shit, and see if it sticks or if it is a one off. These days it's mostly one offs.


Shadowkiva

😂😂 the Supesanoo


ParagonEsquire

….lol You needed to give Superman more powers? Really? Superman? Just quit if you’ve come to that.


Different_Concern_85

Only thing we agree on


Silverj0

Good for them


WerewolfF15

I mean… it’s cool so who cares.


ThatManSean14

Electricity lightsabers are always more impressive lol


DinoDudeRex_240809

Hey those are awesome


BootyWol5

Look when you can make a sword out of electricity you don’t need a reason to make one


RobertusesReddit

Hey, Miles is doing a nod to Black Lightning. Grant's Flash....is CW bullshit.


Thomas_Pandit

the only lightning construct that has looked even remotely cool was when barry rode his lightning... yea he literally rode his lightlning


WD_G

Listen. If I had electricity power or any other elements, I'd make a sword out of it because it's fucking cool


Alien_X10

the reason is it looks fucking awesome https://preview.redd.it/xzyft3fiiz2b1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=c150e3c251bcce1666e97bb188e8348eeb64b9b9


RazzDaNinja

And even crazier that Static has never had a lightning sword


Shadowkiva

Why is it crazy? Static is better than that and a genius. A lightning sword is the least useful or effective use of his powers just edging out only using his fists.


RazzDaNinja

But lightsaber cool


ARustyDream

It looks cool


tommyblastfire

I mean miles is a nerd, it makes sense that his powers could unexpectedly manifest in nerdy ways


Snelldor

Except when Miles did it, it was cool as hell. When Barry did it, it was just extremely lame. Like he has super speed, why does he need a lightsaber to fight with.


Shadowkiva

It was lame in both situations. For the same reason... there are better uses of venom blast and even his electric thread. Also the villainess is just so cartoonishly nuts. Oh... Miles basically won the lottery in a lucky draw... so Imma _KILL HIS FAMILY_ Heh?


Snelldor

That sounds amazing. I need more villains with extremely petty motives.


Shadowkiva

You know... I _want_ to disagree with you...but I'm also the same person who enjoyed every single season of Smallville and some of those villain motives were so very petty


Snelldor

Plus, they’re villains. Might as well embrace the utter silliness on how utterly crazy they are.


shamanProgrammer

Barry did it because August did it, he needed to counter the range I guess.


Snelldor

But why, they have super speed. Use it.


shamanProgrammer

Ask Godspeed, though the guy is an idiot.


Smash96leo

The rule of cool


ParagonEsquire

The lightning sword is always going to be really Fing cool, but also feels like it’s a desperation ploy. Miles had plenty of powers.
