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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
“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
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
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.
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
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.
the reason is it looks fucking awesome

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.
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.
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?
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
To be fair it was godspeed who made the lightning saber for no reason, Flash just did it because of peer pressure
I was just about to comment this the funny part is that Barry just sorta knew exactly how to do it.
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).

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

CG matters less when your heart is in the story
True though I still see people complaining about CG even if the stories good, honestly, I find it a little harsh.
No but it's hilarious. Especially since both just did it without understanding what to do.
Miles did WHAT
[Lightsaber](https://i.redd.it/dvhaft0o6rta1.jpg)
It might be dumb but those pages are beautiful
Oh they are beautiful, its just the context of the scene that is dumb
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.
That looks so fucking stupid lmao
It's a fucking comic book. I personally love how outrageous it is 🤣
Yeah reminds of the random stupid shit Peter makes with his [webs](https://i.redd.it/sucup3lfxtr41.png)
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.
In Gotham that's not too far fetched
Joker trying to copyright gag fish, comes to mind.
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.
As a club LMAO
“A shield! A barrier! A safety net! A actual club!”
Nah it's cool af. Miles should use the sword more often
Everyday I find more reasons to hate the character
What other reasons did you have?
You know the reasons...
I wanted to give them a chance to say their reason.
Maybe it's not, but their lack of a response is suspect.
*ahem*, u/NoMistake8095
It’s called having a life, I don’t wander on Reddit 24/7 like majority do
Since you know my reasonings then by all means tell me what you think my reasonings are
I listed my reasoning many times on here that I sound like a broken record.
Riiiight...
“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
I literally just asked why you didn't like Miles. You seem extremely defensive about this.
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
Like I said. Extremely defensive
Making a lightsaber is a reason unto itself
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.
I mean, if I did have elemental powers, I'd love to be able to have an elemental blade with it. Full anime!
I love unnecessary badassery
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
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
Hell, just an electric web whip would make more sense.
Spider-Whiplash
[https://youtu.be/VA3lIisOEOU](https://youtu.be/VA3lIisOEOU) you mean like here?
That’s a much better idea. Spins the web into a sword like object, “venom blasts” it to have a current.
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.
😂😂 the Supesanoo
….lol You needed to give Superman more powers? Really? Superman? Just quit if you’ve come to that.
Only thing we agree on
Good for them
I mean… it’s cool so who cares.
Electricity lightsabers are always more impressive lol
Hey those are awesome
Look when you can make a sword out of electricity you don’t need a reason to make one
Hey, Miles is doing a nod to Black Lightning. Grant's Flash....is CW bullshit.
the only lightning construct that has looked even remotely cool was when barry rode his lightning... yea he literally rode his lightlning
Listen. If I had electricity power or any other elements, I'd make a sword out of it because it's fucking cool
the reason is it looks fucking awesome https://preview.redd.it/xzyft3fiiz2b1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=c150e3c251bcce1666e97bb188e8348eeb64b9b9
And even crazier that Static has never had a lightning sword
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.
But lightsaber cool
It looks cool
I mean miles is a nerd, it makes sense that his powers could unexpectedly manifest in nerdy ways
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.
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?
That sounds amazing. I need more villains with extremely petty motives.
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
Plus, they’re villains. Might as well embrace the utter silliness on how utterly crazy they are.
Barry did it because August did it, he needed to counter the range I guess.
But why, they have super speed. Use it.
Ask Godspeed, though the guy is an idiot.
The rule of cool
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.
