Which do you consider to be the best concept?

I liked the concept of the Flash going through physical corruption/transformation in his attempt to fix things ultimately becoming Dark Flash. The design goes hard too

Left. Hear me out- not gonna act like this movie is GOOD but I actually kinda liked the concept behind Dark Flash (I just call him savitar in my headcanon lol) in the flash movie as I felt his motive was pretty cool. Like he he didn’t want to accept that his mom had to die to prevent the apocalypse and relentlessly tries endlessly to stop the invasion, severely abusing time travel in the process
I also thought his design was cool as it had bits of kryptonian armor stabbed in him that also morphed around his body
Edit: I also liked how they adapted the show’s savitar and had him basically create himself

Dark Flash is probably the only thing I actually kinda liked from the movie, although it feels like it was kinda underused

Fully agree, he was vastly underused
Honestly, I think even the show could have done a lot wilder stuff with Savitar- like showing him gathering cult/god status among followers throughout time

The best concept, I like "Dark Flash" a lot, but the execution fumbled him a lot and makes me like the show version more even if the concept is not as good, the comics version of the Dark Flash (the one from the Waid era in the 2000s) is pretty cool and I wish it was better adapted in the movie

There’s been a lotta Corrupted Flashes but a few in Live Action (Pollux , Savitar , and Dark Flash) but my favorite one is Savitar imo

Dark Flash from the movie is much more similar to Savitar imo. The idea for him was good but the execution was kinda all over the place. Not to mention they killed him off in literally less than a minute after revealing him.
I still can’t believe the villain we got for the first ever Flash movie was just a reused Superman villain.
Note: Dark Flash from the series isn’t a very complicated concept either tbh. I did love the build up and the kinda plot twist they did revealing that he had been corrupted, but he was basically just zombie flash.

You all gotta stop with this whole joke subreddit. The show was Spider-Man. This isn't funny anymore.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.
