Film Theory: Superman FAILED US! Why Justice League is Earth's Greatest Threat - Summary

Summary

The video is a comedic analysis of the movie "Justice League" by a YouTube channel called "Film Theory". The host starts by discussing the movie's box office performance and the fact that it earned less than "Man of Steel". He then proceeds to critique the movie, highlighting the underutilization of characters like Aquaman and Wonder Woman, and the lack of leadership from Batman. The host also points out the absurdity of Superman's actions, such as his decision to destroy all life on Earth, which is not shown on screen but is an unintended consequence of his actions throughout the movie.

The host then delves into a detailed explanation of the Flash's abilities, specifically his speed. He explains how the Flash's speed allows him to move at ludicrous speeds, creating a mini vacuum behind him and causing a path of chaos in his wake. He also explains how this would cause fusion reactions and plasma eruptions, which would be catastrophic for the Earth. However, the host concludes that this is a moot point because the Flash has access to the Speed Force, which warps the physics of the air around him to prevent overheating and plasma streaks.

The host then criticizes Superman's lack of access to the Speed Force, stating that without it, he would also cause fusion-level reactions and plasma eruptions, leading to the destruction of the Earth. He concludes by stating that the greatest threat to Earth is its greatest hero, Superman. The video ends with a special announcement about a sale on "Theorist" merchandise.

Facts

1. The text is a transcript of a YouTube video titled "Film theory".
2. The host of the video is discussing the movie "Justice League".
3. The host criticizes the movie, stating that it had a lower box office earnings than "Man of Steel".
4. The host mentions that the character of The Flash was the only useful one in the movie.
5. The host states that The Flash was the only character to demonstrate truly useful powers in the movie's big fight scenes.
6. The host jokes about Batman's decision to revive Superman, which almost gets the team killed.
7. The host discusses the character of Superman, stating that he dies and is reborn to protect the Earth.
8. The host speculates about the "Superman destroying all life on the planet Earth" bit, stating that it is an unintended consequence of Superman's actions throughout the movie.
9. The host explains that Barry Allen, the Flash, can move at incredible speeds due to a freak accident that gives him the ability to tap into the Speed Force.
10. The host explains that the Speed Force allows Barry to move at ludicrous speeds, creating a mini vacuum behind him and causing air molecules to rush in to fill that space.
11. The host discusses the potential damage that this could cause, stating that the damage would depend on the Flash's speed.
12. The host mentions that in the comics, the Flash has been shown to travel any speed he needs to, and he has been able to reach those ludicrous speeds.
13. The host discusses a scene in "Justice League" where Superman keeps his gaze on the Flash as he moves, indicating that the Flash is not moving faster than the speed of light in this scene.
14. The host speculates that Superman might be tracking the Flash's movements using some other method, and that Barry is traveling slightly slower than the speed of light, allowing Superman to see him in this scene.
15. The host discusses the potential consequences of Barry moving at speeds that high, stating that he would be walking around with a fusion bomb going off on his chest.
16. The host discusses the Coulomb Barrier, stating that for fusion to happen, particles have to get really, really close together, about 10^-15m close.
17. The host states that the Coulomb Barrier can be overcome by traveling really, really, really fast, speeds that are nearly impossible for humans to achieve.
18. The host discusses the potential consequences of Barry moving at such high speeds, stating that fusion reactions would be happening over and over again in the dense cloud of molecules that's building up in front of him.
19. The host states that these sorts of temperatures and energies would turn little bits of air molecules into plasma, which would explode to the size of football fields in 0.1 milliseconds.
20. The host mentions that the Speed Force warps the physics of the air around Barry so he doesn't overheat and cause a plasma streak.
21. The host discusses a scene in "Justice League" where Superman and the Flash go in for a race, stating that Superman doesn't have access to the Speed Force and that he travels fast because of his strength and his muscles, not because he has access to some extra-dimensional power.
22. The host speculates that Superman would ignite the air wherever he goes, causing fusion-level reactions and plasma eruptions across the globe.
23. The host discusses the potential consequences of Superman reaching even half of light speed, stating that he's already generating an incredible 9.8x10^19 joules of energy, which is roughly 40 times more powerful than the strongest hydrogen bomb ever detonated.
24. The host concludes the video with a special announcement about a sale of "Theorist" merchandise.
