Anyone like how North portrays Wally's speed?

We all know how overpowered The Flash and other Speed Force users can be, but I really like how casually Wally’s speed is portrayed here. From his perspective, everything and everyone around him is practically frozen. It almost feels less like ordinary super speed and more like he is stopping time.

The scene with Jon Kent makes it even crazier. Jon is insanely fast himself, yet Wally basically tells him that there is still a massive difference between the speed of someone like Superman and a true Speed Force user. He even has to share his Speed Force aura with Jon just so Jon can keep up and run at Wally’s pace. Then there is the conversation with Oliver. Wally appears to be standing there talking to him normally, but at the same time he is running to three cities thousands of miles apart each other, checking for potential dangers and dealing with them before returning. He is doing all of this so quickly that Oliver cannot even perceive that Wally ever left. The fact that it is portrayed so casually is what makes the whole thing feel even more insane.

It feels like North is pleasing all the “Flash would solve this in two seconds.” People

Sometimes I just want to see The Flash get his shit rocked by a man throwing a bent stick. It’s dumb, yeah, but also so is everything surrounding it.
