Karnak is pretty unrealistic.
He is fucking awesome and wrecks everyone he touches, because he saw their flaw, obv.

I remember super arrogant "I gotta prove myself" Karnak. Now he's "I don't give a fuck anymore, you're all the worst" Karnak.

The Flash is a character that was ruined by justification.
I like the current Karnak better. He's just miserable and dismissive of everybody, even Medusa ever so slightly.
That was me! (I mean, maybe Slayven said it too at some point, but I for sure put it in a Flash post a few months back.) And it's still true. Flash is powered by unrealistic. That's what the speed force is made from, don't you know.
And that's why I love him.
Actually, the speed force slowed Jay garrick's aging to the point where he was like 90 years old and still looked mid 60's.
and physically in his 30s

It's been a very natural evolution to his character. He went from being supremely arrogant, to becoming a royal advisor that was slowly but surely pushed out of the way as far as advice went. Infinity happens, which was even kept a secret from him, and so he just kills himself.
Then he manages to find the flaw in death and in doing so, saves New Attilan, but realizes death is pointless. So he just makes his own faction that says "fuck what you heard this is what you hearing listen."

Because a person powered by an extradimensional energy is more unrealistic than someone having/acquiring a different physiology or maxing out their skill trees.
Apparently.
To me the Flash is no different from anyone elsej

It's Superman.
He has powers he doesn't even use anymore because they're apparently too goofy.
Like shapeshifting
Or firing miniature versions of himself from his hand
Or vibrating fast enough to become 2 Supermans

The thing with the flash is, the show is actually really fun and cool, but damn... the bullshit in it is sometimes so fierce it's hard to be focused on the story. Everything is random, they set rules, they break them, they invent something new..
And his speed has to change all the time cause he would just be too fast and resolve any problem without any crisis. Basically for every enemy he encountered, you can say "Why didn't you just surprised him and hit him in the head..."

Can someone explain this to me like I'm 5?

Demons and shit in modern New York....
Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra aren't in cities or in a world that resembles Earth.
Both are completely different: it's not New York just because a guy called the Rhino breaks into a bank.
If you can perceive light moving then it would take trillions of years for someone's eye to blink: once you go really, really, really, fast things appear really, really, really slow.

Yeah Batman for me too.
It's so easy to trace money these days yet no one notices billion dollar tech cars, computers, planes, and gadgets getting made on their company money. Either everyone knows or everyone is really shitty at their job.
There is the "buy parts" and build it ourselves/with the help of several engineers who know he is batman ala Fox, but even that is silly.
Also Superman just because its like... oh hey some sunlight, now you can fly and stuff...

The whole Flash Attosecond post is a bit unfair. Its a common thing in comics, with writers saying shit they dont understand fully, just because it sounds cool. I am sure the writer of that panel just googled smallest unit of time, and used it, without any regard to what he is actually saying.
Take Thor for example, in Aaron's recent run, he defeated an enemy and threw his weapon into a black hole, only to then later on enter said black hole and retrieve the weapon for himself. Totally fucking badass moment, but also completely and utterly ridiculous.
TLDR; Sometimes writers say shit they dont fully understand to sound cool.

I love how Black Panther is all like "you have weak points in your articulations .. so I am going to KICK YOU IN THE FACE"

all the poor ones. these guys would be wearing brands on their suits like they were nascar racers or that guy from mystery men lol.
doesn't mean thor can't pull shit from black holes, and flash can' t perceive things at an attosecond.
He likes his humanity and relationships
This flash had to give up raising his kids because he couldn't slow down enough to interact with them, he stops people from stubbing their toes....that is how much time he has on his hands
Lol he looks so happy

You got it backwards. Baldy is saying, "I'mma rumble you BP 'cuz I learned a secret technique called KICK 'EM IN THE DICK," and then Black Panther is like, "You gotta hit me tho fuckface. Hwa-cha!"
I mean, a better response would have been, "Oh shit, this mofo knows humans have weak knees, crotches, elbows, and shoulders! Our race is doomed!" or maybe just punching him in the throat and asking, "What have we learned?", but he wanted to get a Bruce Lee reference in.
Hey man i think they are gonna make a comeback!

Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis Superman are two different monsters. Yes, Silver Age Superman is absurd, but they really reeled him in.
Yeah I saw that. Barrys such a dweeb lol
Serious question: is that the Milky Bar Kid?

I think she was a teenager.
It wasn't addressed too heavily because it's pretty well-known as far as FUBAR comic lore goes.
Very early X-Men comics from way back in the day had thought bubbles of Xavier thinking about how he was in love with Jean. All the X-Men were high-school age at the time.
Due to plot twists and little things like that over many, many years, Xavier has been made out to be a creepy, patronizing, aloof, despicable hypocrite. Cyclops did the world a favor when he put the old man down. He makes a better saint than he ever made a person. Not that he'll actually stay dead. Comics.
what the fuck?
that does not seem so weird like the other examples in this thread to me.
It's a regular thing in this world to be able to bend stuff, and isn't limited to a special person, or special group of persons, so I'm fine with that.

He's been dead for what, four years at this point? I'm sure he'll be dead for awhile longer. Plus, if the whole "Marvel's slowly getting rid of the X-Men" is true, then he's never coming back ever.

I feel like Wally West was the one who had to consume more food to keep up with his metabolism, that wasn't a Barry thing. To be fair I mostly read Wally West Flash so maybe it was a Barry thing as well. However it was addressed.

Well, I guess it could be worse.
I have literally only been reading comics for about a month and a half so pardon my not being up on weird lore.
Not at all.
