The Transition of The Flash to Netflix

To the unacquainted *The Flash* is one of the most famous comic characters from the DC Comics Universe with the powers of the speed and the gift of ridiculous humor.

How one cannot be excited to watch this show, let me try to explain why The Flash is a must-watch.

Hence, the question; Why The Flash? First of all, it is very beautiful, and the special effects used in it really reveal the meaning of the film about a superhero who is capable of movements with the speed of light. The fast-paced thematic plot of The Flash is undeniably complemented by great editing and cool action scenes that would leave fans at the edge of their seats as well as tender moments that would pull heartstrings.

The movie also shows Barry Allen’s past giving fans more insight on his persona’s purpose and living with conflicts. But people don’t recognize this; all they see is a movie about superheroes and anti-heroes, despite it being a movie about a family and their loss and attempts to regain something they lost. These themes cut across the normal demography of titans followers and therefore addresses a broader audience than the normal comic hero group.
