The Flash is set to be the new Spider-man, as I’ve always felt he deserved. I would’ve gone nuts for this as a wee lad—and consistency being my thing nowadays, my favorite incarnation of the wall-crawler really is the 70’s TV series—as cool as I thought even the laughable effects were at the time:
A being who can move so fast as to put everyone else in slow-mo, essentially freezing them from his perspective of time, then speed back up at will, is basically a god, isn’t he? I don’t think I really could appreciate this in 3rd or 4th grade as I drew up plans for my own career as a superhero, relying on running (I must’ve won a race or two in PE against my African-American classmates to inspire such confidence, which is more than I can say about my recent performance at the Mother’s Day picnic) with “magnesium flares” in my shoes.
