Hey Youtubers, it's Charlie so this is gonig to be a video All about the different colors
of flash lightning.
A lot of you are requesting a video asking about the differences between the movie flash
in the TV show flash so I'll explain everybody from Barry Allen to Wally West to zoom to
the black flash.
there's a new round of the flash ring giveaway.
All you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and leave a comment on this video be sure
to click that bell to enable alerts there's a whole bunch other stuff is dropping today
to so there couple different colors of flash lightning there shades of yellow moving into
red to blue and then the white lightning, of savitar.
It's all meant to sleeve they're connected to the speed force how full they are with
speed force, so the more powerful you get the closer your lightning gets to white.
So one the color of your lightning is a function of your connection to the speed force and
your speed, but two is also a really simple way for non-comic book people to understand
who's fighting who on screen legates.
Somebody just walked in off the street and they saw savitar and Barry start fighting
they would know the berries lightning is yellow he wears a red suit savitar looks silver he
has white lightning when the running around is blurs on screen is easier to tell them
apart largely this is taken from the comics but there couple changes in the comics for
instance the reverse flash is lightning is red because he uses the negative speed force.
He is a slightly different connection to it than Barry has, but he's almost as fast is
Barry TV show reverse flash has read lightning because he's faster than Barry.
So the TV shows, just a little bit different.
It like Jesse quick for instance they say that she's almost as fast is Barry.
So her lightning is almost the same color during the flashpoint episodes we saw the
rival he has a red version of the lightning he's just a little bit faster than that version
of Wally West the new philosopher's stone Wally West has more yellow lightning he's
not quite as fast as flashpoint Wally West yet, just because he hadn't been the flash
for as long a period of time and that's another thing to will have to come back around to
will savitar be able to control him or will he do something crazy because he got his powers
via the philosopher's stone, but during season two we met zoom who had blue lightning because
he was so much faster than Barry.
So was much closer to white savitar is the fastest speedster that Barry as ever gone
up against.
So he has the white lightning you see from Ginger Wally West in the comics was the fastest
version of the flash so largely they kept that color scheme in tact but like I said,
the second reason for doing it no one denoting speed to just denoting who is fighting who
on the pager on the screen.
So that's one of the reasons why.
When Barry was using the tacky on device during season two to get faster at a much faster
rate is lightning didn't change colors that much just because they want you to still know
that it was Barry on screen.
But in reality his lightning should have change color become a more blue shade and accredited
just a little bit the movie flash that.
A lot of you are asking about why is his lightning blue that's largely a Zack Snyder choice,
but he did explain that he wanted this version of Barry Allen to have a much closer connection
to the speed force, so we haven't met the other speedsters of the DCEU yet we largely
won't see the reverse flash to the flash movie drops in a couple years.
So will know little bit better than but just expect the same thing.
The reverse flash of the movies have a slightly different shade of color than Barry Allen
he'll have the blue lightning reverse flash in the movies will probably have the red lightning
just remember that the movies are different from the TV shows in the way they use colors
like that there is some parity but they're meant to be their own thing, so Zack Snyder
made that choice not so much based on what the TV show is doing, so the color schemes
of the movies will be a little bit different than the color scheme of the TV show but it
all flows from the comics back in the classic comics it was even more confusing all the
good speedsters had the exact same color of lightning.
So they just try to change that with the more modern stuff that they do and that influences
the TV shows it is want people to have their own identity.
So Wally West like the young kid flash Wally West in the comics as a redder version of
the lightning Barry Allen's.
It still kind of yellow even though he's faster it can be a little confusing but just remember
when you're comparing lightning colors and top speeds of TV show characters only compare
them against the stuff that the TV show has explain don't think too much about what happened
in the comics and don't think too much about what happened in the movies I think a lot
of people like try to take it all into account and he gets a little confusing they do that
even in the marvel universe with the color of the infinity stones the different colors
in the movies and they are in the comics and is very confusing.
So just remember the TV show the movies the comics there all just a little bit different
but just to explain the color change for the black flash and.
A lot of people were wondering because they change the emblem color that's mostly just
to make him look different than he did at the end of last season with zoom to make him
look more like an animal like he's walking around like a velociraptor looking for the
reverse flash of his lightning is red by the TV shows logic that means that he's just as
fast as the reverse flash meaning that he's that big of a threat like the reverse flash
couldn't easily outrun him which is why he's so afraid but here's the thing, though the
TV show actually change the black flash is and zooms emblem even three times within that
final fight that Barry had at the end of season two so that I think which is a coloring error
in post production, so sometimes the TV show can be a little inconsistent.
So try not to read too much into that.
So hopefully that explains lightning colors just a little bit I'm hoping for a couple
other different colors of the spectrum as we get more speedsters in future seasons.
Maybe we can do a version of the war of light with different speedsters going to war with
each other, but that's all way down the road.
There's a new episode posting later tonight.
