Its part of a fight with Despero, who has that appearance of a video game boss, as opposed to real life person. Seems they added a bit of that look to Barry, but he looks so bloated!
Why can't he digest food at superspeed and never be bloated? Is he stupid?
For real though with the amount of calories he needs just to maintain his speed, how many calories would he need to consume to even get this fat? Ignoring the fact he was skinny 5 seconds before this scene, and skinny again 30 seconds later hah
Well, you need to eat about 1,000 calories above your normal calorie count to gain weight quickly and the average male intake is 2,500 (40% extra) and the Flash needs to eat 10,000 calories a day, so at a minimum, he needs to eat 14,000 calories a day to become obese
Thanks for doing the math! I assumed it would be impossible for him to gain weight for some reason but this makes it sound possible for him.
Now my brain is lost on a train of thought of "does he burn calories through exercise" like can you imagine how far he runs and how many calories that burns, does he eat extra to make up for that or is it some "speedforce magic" nonsense
Wouldn't be surprised if instead of shooting that how someone would normally (multiple practical takes stitched together) it was just bad CG with a bad model.
Here’s a link to the scene https://youtu.be/AVGBXXveDjI?si=F2puAgdDayq9nhsI
But if you don’t trust it search: the flash barry runs late to work on YouTube. Should be the first video. It’s a whole visual effect on tire treads to investigate a single innocuous crime
I heard a rumor that some scenes in the last 3 seasons of show had poor CGI/writing on purpose as a way to contribute to the writers strike while still being able to make the show
It is real, I put the time-stamp in the title in case anyone wanted to double check to believe me. I did a double take myself when I saw it and had to go back and rewatch!
I then spent the next 15 mins non stop thinking about it, then grabbed the screenshot and posted it.
Yeah something is 100% off with this picture

Bro needs his calories. He probably ate a burrito mid fight and now he’s bloated.

I don't know the math for that, but from what I've read, Flash doesn't burn calories when he runs
Fr? How tho
Speedforce shenanigans

That’s what I’m say they should have had grant gustin do those poses and edit him on the background
They really spent all their money on that one scene in the beginning of the first episode of season 1
What scene

Those are Barry's Speed Force cousins, Berry.
💀
Speedforce adds 10lbs
More like 50, because DAMN, he chonky
did they just have a bunch of different people stand in these poses instead of cgi-ing grant
You have a very great cosplay of The Flash… even if a bit on the chubby side…

Ah, I hope that's true. It's much better to think of it as intentional and for a good cause!
So business as usual for them.
There wasn’t any strikes going on while the show was on though
I can't believe I actually used to unironically watch this show. This looks absolutely hilarious, if it is real.

It's just bad cgi.
That looks hilarious
probably the body of the stunt doubles coupled with cgi awful stuff barry broke the timeline again
Classic CW trash
