Why is Flash so slow in the show?

Barry Allen is nerved in The Flash television series precisely so he won’t be able to defeat his side villains so easily. This is also why his superspeed is so inconsistent: the showrunners often scale down his powers when they want to make his challenges more dramatic and exciting.

Is Wally faster than Barry in the comics?

Should I watch the Flash or the flash theory?

The general rule of thumb in any TV show, movie, etc. is to pick one. The Flash uses both theories in its storytelling, which makes the show a great deal more confusing than it probably has to be.

Is Scarlet Speedster too powerful for the Flash?

The Scarlet Speedster as seen in The Flash is nowhere near as powerful as his comic book counterpart. On some level, it makes sense the showrunners would choose to depower the Flash; if he’s too powerful there is lack of stakes.
