Good, good a Flash video . Over the years , our favorite love speedster was haunted sometimes by nightmares ,started more seriously right after Zoom Broke Back Mountain him but at the time he was still learning to be a speedster, but Psych ? In the episode where he lost his memories , Julian and Csisky talked about how they didnt count for Barry s speed , Barry is way faster in his mind , Caitlin also confirmed this many times . Barry is fast enough that no nightmare should be possible to catch him . With Bloodwork it was a total plot thing ,they didnt have the time to do this big fight scene so they locked Barry and Bloodwork in a nightmare and that was it , but Barry should not be possible having nightmares at his current speed
Reminds me of the changing of Reverse Flash's origin in DC Rebirth. He basically got salty that Barry told Wally the exact inspirational thing that Barry told Eobard in the future
@@NonStopJayy Well nowadays he is faster than them or even as fast so it should be easy for him now but with the way the speed force can now boost his speed with all the forces together who knows. I just hope they don't pull a tachyon (by that I mean they had tachyons in season 2 and never used it on speedster villains like savitar or the race with zoom in the season finale of season 2)
I think he was just extremely angry, and when you're angry you usually don't think. You just react. So he somehow did w/e. Perhaps moving fast causing heat to burn through the dose
I think in 1x08 it was phasing and more for shock value and probably just because his rage just made him do it without him realizing, it could be valid because of how hyper he was during the fight.
@@Johan590 because he preformed an ability it's bad writing? That's like saying when a character first discovers their powers and uses them with no prior experience is bad writing, he simply did it because of the rush he had during that point.
@@lankytwt Yeah but who wants to see someones emotion in a action series. The characters actions and emotions make the show but it doesnt have to be like that. Especially if your running 7 seasons. Gotta Balance it out
I always assumed that he just used his speed or higher metabolism to burn the tranquilizer out of his system. Hence the green mist and why Oliver was surprised that he could do that. I never thought he was phasing in that episode. So I agree with your theory, it makes more sense.
It's obvious by now that season 1 writers just didn't have a good sense of development for Barry's abilities (having him move faster than lightning while he's still green etc), but I appreciate how you try to explain everything in-universe. It sucks when a good show is plagued by this issue. That's what happens when every episode is written and directed by a different person.
@@jjonahjameson8934 I almost rewatched it because of crisis on infinite earths. I just want to see brandon routh & tom welling's superman comeback but i resisted the urge because of bad cgi, continuous plot holes, and cringe action scenes. _The flash is dead, bury it. Consider this mercy._
I think that he just destabilized himself to let the horse tranquilizer pass through since for him to phase (through solid matter) he has to vibrate at the natural frequency of air, maybe he wasnt moving fast enough for it to actually phase through solid matter? I havent finished the vid yet so im just gonna wait
@@lunarSmite to phase you have to vibrate at the frequency of air. What im saying is that he destabilized but couldnt match the frequency of air, yet the heat from the vibrations vaporized the tranquilizer hence why it was a mist that dissipated into nothingness. He wasnt fast enough was my point.
Comics, I just want you to know that your recent use of DK64 music has not gone unnoticed. As somebody who spent countless hours collecting all of the Golden bananas, this music makes me happy.
I think it’s phasing, it’s just that it’s such a low level of phasing that Barry doesn’t even consider it new. A gas’s atoms are farther apart than a solid’s, so it’s probably a lot easier for Barry to phase a gas than a solid. He doesn’t consider it phasing then, just vibrating like how he vibrates his face and vocal cords.
This show is just getting super hard to watch it’s so sad it really was my favorite show of all time and I think it forever will be but these recent seasons are so hard to watch
One thing I never understood about The Flash phasing: if he is phasing his entire body to go through objects, how come he doesn’t go through the ground when running. When he runs through a building, he has to phase his feet as well. I never understood how he could still run while phasing through something.
I have two theories 1. He was under control of the rage that bivolo put on him therefore he wasn’t in control so maybe he just phased but then he forgot it because he wasn’t himself when he did it. 2. He just speed himself up to remove the toxins
I always thought he was just vibrating his entire body as fast a possible, we know he can do it to hide his face and voice, so with him being so angry, he just did something smart in the fight for once and vibrated so fast he evaporated it out of his body.
To do it consistently and at will, you need to learn. But since he CAN do it, it COULD happen accidentally. Maybe? Clark Kent, Superman shot heat visions before learning to control it.
I love season 1 so much because this Barry as a rookie hero as you start to discover his powers flash season one was so much fun and It always will be.
I thought that this is what this was since it happened, people do this in real life like shake or run to burn things off so he’s just moving fast in place but glad you could explain it to people that were confused
its always a joy seeing ur analysis of the flash pop up in my subbox, keep up the good work! Also, i love banjo kazooie too! Still need to get that 90th jiggy tho...
I just thought of something and immediately thought to come here. When Barry’s in prison he obviously didn’t have dapeners in the beginning and he used his speed. How did he not almost pass out because I know they ain’t giving him the 10,000 calories he needs a day
For years I grew up reading how the Flash was vibrating his molecules to slip between the molecules of whatever object he wanted to pass thru, and now when it's introduced, it's called "phasing" (which makes me think of Kitty Pryde). The word really doesn't do it justice. :)
I literally wondered this too when it happened. I remember thinking, “How and when did Barry learn to do that? I know he’s able to do it. But, he hasn’t before this episode.” Maybe they filmed the Trickster episode first and had to rearrange the order of release for the episodes. It’s been a while since I’ve seen season 1. Someone correct me if my theory is wrong. I’m not being facetious, please correct me.
in the original series, berry is hit with a new type of drug, which causes him to vibrate, he than phases (uncontrollably) out of the bad guy's lab, and comes out the other wall, where he's back to normal, nor sure what happened, he is than asked (by a kid?) what happened, he says "I was hit with that drug, it make me vibrate through the wall, and now it must have just gotten burnt up by my metabolism" (or something like that). so that kind a gives us "burning a drug" and "wall phasing" at the same time. later (in that series) he learns to phase normally.
Good point, I never even thought about that Edit: I'm asking this before the vid is finished, but do you think that because of his heightened state (the combo of adrenaline from the fight and being angry from the meta's ability) that it completely slipper his mind and thought that the first time he did it was in the episode with Trickster
Thing is though barry did the exact same thing in episode 21 when he had to phase through meta human virus and iris calls it phasing,, it's a little weird but it's the exact same effect
I think he was only able to phase during the Flash vs Arrow episode because through out season 1 and 2 he was always scared to try new things with his power. So maybe due to rainbow raider's ability Barry list that sense of fear to just go balls to the wall with his power just something I was thinking lol But your metabolism theory is really smart and didn't even think of it
I assumed in the arrow vs flash episode that he sped up his circulation and made the tranq go through his system super fast and the green steam was just a fun effect
How strong/ powerful is Iron Man in the Mcu? ( specifically Infinity War/Endgame) the armors in the final two chapters of his life are truly sensational in their combative capabilities and increase his strength and durability to the level of Thor/ Hulk level threats without the need of hulk buster armor.
I always thought it’s the unhinged superhero problem, where they don’t hold back and do things that they usually can’t or won’t. Example: Clark flying in Smallville whenever he isn’t acting normal.
I do love the Flash despite the problems that you mentioned in the video. I understand though if for some people those problems are too distracting to enjoy it.
I interpreted it as Barry just used it up really fast by staying in one position and going at super speed like super jogging on the spot I guess you could say
For the "Barry would have remembered phasing", maybe Barry did has at some point but since he had no idea what he did (or thought of it as something else), he didn't know he had phased before. An example of that would be, in a totally different universe, Luffy who displays signs of the Conqueror Haki while having 0 ideas about what he just pulled out.
I thought it was just him vibrating which he could do already and that phasing was just vibrating fast enough to go through the wall or whatever it was he tried to phase through
I think it could be that when Barry is opening a locked door he vibrates his hands to break the lock, when Barry is talking w iris before she knew he was the flash he vibrates his body, I think he’s jsut vibrating really fast here to the point that the gas could leak out of his body, but phasing he can phase out of basically anything so maybe he just vibrates fast but not fast enough and didn’t know he could vibrate faster to phase
In the arrow episode I always took as not vibrating but more moving back and forth really quickly (almost like he's shaking) bouncing around the toxin until it was gone
I get what you mean but, the molecular levels of gas and solids are different, and when he was mad i dont think he remembered as it might have been a mix of all the chemicals in the brain and the meta human powers and the brain sometimes blocks out certain moments to keep you “happy”? I dont really know why it blocks it out but yea.
A problem with the phase theory, is that if he phased the horse tranq out of his body his blood go with it, since the horse tranq would be in his bloodstream
He could have accidently phased due to shaking with anger having just been hit by an arrow from a friend and the anger enhancement causes that shaking to increase and go fast enough to phase

Why was iris able to use Barry's powers so easily in the episode where they were swapped to her even though it took Barry so long to learn them
Barry just took out the forces of nature with the power of friendship. literally.
I'm gonna defeat you with the power of friendship!.... And this gun I found.
So he basically used talk no jutsu like Naruto
We need a mk vs DC 2 with flash having a friendship for pep talks
Yeh and It was bullshit
Thats why CW should never make DC's superhero shows ever again

Phase
Phase*
*phase*
cmon man, it has the proper spelling of phase right in the title
Please do this for the rest of the episodes of the flash, such as: Why doesn’t Barry just use his speed to slap villains
That would have been hilarious
Because Some villains are as fast or faster than him
Overtime, you are going to have to become familiar with the words "plot armour."
Because then there wouldn’t be a show

In one episode he can move faster than a nuke and in another episode he cant reach a guy in a weelchair

This is how I interpreted it. I guess I can see how people may have conflated it with phasing though. Nice catch.
I always thought that they said that this is what he was doing in the show
my favourite thing in the flash is when barry gets knocked down and slowly staggers back up, when he could just go fast
I always assumed that he just used his speed or higher metabolism to burn the tranquilizer out of his system. Hence the green mist and why Oliver was surprised that he could do that. I never thought he was phasing in that episode. So I agree with your theory, it makes more sense.
I never thought he phased... always thought he just sweated it off
same here , like over working his muscles and that was more for a visual effect
I think Barry just moved fast enough to evaporate the tranquilizer using body heat because if Barry phased it would just be a liquid.
He said that
It's obvious by now that season 1 writers just didn't have a good sense of development for Barry's abilities (having him move faster than lightning while he's still green etc), but I appreciate how you try to explain everything in-universe.

2. He just speed himself up to remove the toxins
I've never thought that this was phasing. He's just vibrating his body so fast that he literally burns off the tranquilizer.
same lol
4:13 Exactly Halfway through the video. randomly thought of it when I was watching
I always thought he was just vibrating his entire body as fast a possible, we know he can do it to hide his face and voice, so with him being so angry, he just did something smart in the fight for once and vibrated so fast he evaporated it out of his body.
Yessss been waiting
To do it consistently and at will, you need to learn. But since he CAN do it, it COULD happen accidentally. Maybe?
Clark Kent, Superman shot heat visions before learning to control it.
The first time is wrong, the first time was in episode one, when he phased through Mardon's car in 25;36, though the door was locked.
Damn, I really just realized that he phased through that tranquilizer.
You should do a video on the flash explaining how much speed he pulls from the speed force when he summons it with his eyes
1:34 I think also first he had to phase his vocal chords to trick Iris and also that’s different then phasing through a brick wall
love your vids man keep up the good work
I love season 1 so much because this Barry as a rookie hero as you start to discover his powers flash season one was so much fun and It always will be.
Best RUclipsr on the platform I hope u get to 1 mill someday bro
Can you make a video on how fast Barry has to be to run up/on walls? I’ve been really curious about it and I feel like it would be a cool video.

I immediately got the memory of Barry learning how to phase when I saw the title of this video
so good video dude, well done.
Imagine if Flash just farted out the horse tranquiliser 💀
Your thoughts were basically mine when i watched this episode originally. "Barry must be accelerating his metabolism to burn it off"
Barry actually forgot everything he did when he was hypnotized
I just thought of something and immediately thought to come here. When Barry’s in prison he obviously didn’t have dapeners in the beginning and he used his speed. How did he not almost pass out because I know they ain’t giving him the 10,000 calories he needs a day
Happy 1st Birthday to your Son Charlie Comics hope he grows up to be smart and Nerdy like his dad
This show was so much fun when I was a kid man almost a decade later and I realize how many holes it’s got
1:55 when he vibrates it makes that sound when he phases it makes a different sound
Can’t wait for that damn savitar to speed video
I was assuming Barry was too pissed off to remember phasing
I was literally looking this up a few weeks ago cause I remembered it. He def phased during the arrow episode
For years I grew up reading how the Flash was vibrating his molecules to slip between the molecules of whatever object he wanted to pass thru, and now when it's introduced, it's called "phasing" (which makes me think of Kitty Pryde). The word really doesn't do it justice. :)
It’s kinda like him vibrating his vocal chords when talking to Iris but applying it to his whole body
Oliver did in seconds what took Barry a whole episode to learn
I always thought he was just kinda going berserk in that moment and speeding up his metabolism so much it literally just burned through the tranq
He really was just using his powers to the full extent he was pissed so he wasn’t holding nothing back
So why tf didn't he just phased when Oliver holded him. Moreover what about liquid? Watch the video till the end
I think he used his speed, which is heat to evaporate the tranquilizer.
I literally wondered this too when it happened. I remember thinking, “How and when did Barry learn to do that? I know he’s able to do it. But, he hasn’t before this episode.” Maybe they filmed the Trickster episode first and had to rearrange the order of release for the episodes. It’s been a while since I’ve seen season 1.

later (in that series) he learns to phase normally.
Good point, I never even thought about that

Oh nvm
I think Phasing is the best ability of flash other than speed running and time travel
Thing is though barry did the exact same thing in episode 21 when he had to phase through meta human virus and iris calls it phasing,, it's a little weird but it's the exact same effect
Please make a video about all timeline changes in flash 😀
I think he was only able to phase during the Flash vs Arrow episode because through out season 1 and 2 he was always scared to try new things with his power. So maybe due to rainbow raider's ability Barry list that sense of fear to just go balls to the wall with his power just something I was thinking lol
But your metabolism theory is really smart and didn't even think of it

Could you do a video analyzing how fast Barry was moving when he saved 20,000 people in a stadium in 7x12?
I always thought it’s the unhinged superhero problem, where they don’t hold back and do things that they usually can’t or won’t. Example: Clark flying in Smallville whenever he isn’t acting normal.
The idea that he was phasing never even occurred to me. It was, to me, fairly obvious that he was just burning it off
He forgets to have powers unless it’s the newest episode at the very end
I do love the Flash despite the problems that you mentioned in the video. I understand though if for some people those problems are too distracting to enjoy it.

I thought it was just him vibrating which he could do already and that phasing was just vibrating fast enough to go through the wall or whatever it was he tried to phase through
Personally I always took that scene as him moving super speed so his metabolism could burn off the effects quicker
I think the “phasing” sound is a lower pitch making it a different ability
I think it could be that when Barry is opening a locked door he vibrates his hands to break the lock, when Barry is talking w iris before she knew he was the flash he vibrates his body, I think he’s jsut vibrating really fast here to the point that the gas could leak out of his body, but phasing he can phase out of basically anything so maybe he just vibrates fast but not fast enough and didn’t know he could vibrate faster to phase
I always assumed he used his speed to metabolize the tranquilizer faster
In the arrow episode I always took as not vibrating but more moving back and forth really quickly (almost like he's shaking) bouncing around the toxin until it was gone
I get what you mean but, the molecular levels of gas and solids are different, and when he was mad i dont think he remembered as it might have been a mix of all the chemicals in the brain and the meta human powers and the brain sometimes blocks out certain moments to keep you “happy”? I dont really know why it blocks it out but yea.
If I remember correctly he said it was all a blur of red later on meaning he might have forgotten
A problem with the phase theory, is that if he phased the horse tranq out of his body his blood go with it, since the horse tranq would be in his bloodstream
I literally never thought of that until now
He should do what happened to Barry's turtle that HR gave him in season 3 episode 10
I always thought Barry increased his body's healing rate beyond his normal rate and burn through the drug.
See this is big brain thinking, it makes so much sense and i bet the writers didn’t even think about this
lmao, even I forgot barry has other powers than Talk~no~jutsu and listening to every word iris says
That's what I always thought it was, but then you brought up phasing and I was like "What!? Noooo!" Good to see I was right
Can you do how fast the flash is season 7 edition ep 12 when Barry saved the football team
Question/video idea: What level of intellect did Barry have in the season 7 episode "Speed of thought"?
Thats my all time favorite fight scene and scence from the show.
I Always wondered if the zoom has some form of superStrength
He could have just been vibrating (not phasing) he done it when talking to iris as the flash
He could have accidently phased due to shaking with anger having just been hit by an arrow from a friend and the anger enhancement causes that shaking to increase and go fast enough to phase
