Favorite depiction of Speed

An amalgamation of the last 2 there

I prefer the body flicker

Blur

Slow mo for perspective

Streaks for viewing

The way mcu handles it

Classic blur or slow motion

@tiateng1: MOS was great

I like the FTE approach since its superspeed but from the perspective of someone who doesn't have it

Also after images are dope too but they work best (ironically) in a non moving medium

Does energy/light streaks even count? It feels like just an effect the characters have. Flash still uses slow-mo for the majority, and I feel like it just fits under the blur category.

Personally the slow-mo has gotten a little overdone imo. It was cool with Quicksilver, but now everyone's doing it. I think the "teleporting" effect is pretty cool (the above instances from Invincible are great examples of it working well).

I like slow motion..but man is it awful when they over do it...

I like seeing it from a normal human's point of view where it seems to be instantaneous like teleportation or like there was no movement at all. You can also take a less subtle approach and give it a loud whoosh or a sonic boom to show the power of it. Both have a different effect.

the FTE approach is the coolest for me

Tough one for me.

anything involving slow motion/everybody else is a statue

I really like when a character is just moving really fast so blur for me. Makkari vs. Ikaris is a good example of what I'd like speedsters in media to be.

I like the blur and vibration aspect mostly. Like with Pucci's fight or DCAU and Flashpoint Paradox's flash's running.

Like this?

Yeah i think they work really too particularly for flight scenes

@seastone98: Flying speed wasn't what I was thinking of but those are good examples. I was thinking about speed like this.

The way they did Makkari in Eternals is so much better than slow motion world.

Oh yeah baki is elite, they love them some shockwaves mach punch is a top tier example i think

Blitz/blur/body flicker are the best. Slow motion is cool but it doesn't make the character look fast.

Teleportation works best, for the standard movement in a fight scene. Especially in that anime style, where all their limbs are moving at super speed, and they can just stand there and stuff will just look like it’s passing though them.

Slow motion looks the coolest though.

Big fan of teleportation effect but blur is definitely best

Blur but with some slo-mo if it is used sparingly.

I still think MCU Makkari was one of the best live action depictions of super speed and one of the few positives to come out of that film.

Honestly......my favorite ever aside from slow mo and makkaari stuff....was

Cyborg 009 nuke scene.

That to me was the pure definition of speed. Once he past the sound barrier it even went silent it was honestly amazing.

Teleportation or this \/

slow mo from speedster pov or teleportation like from regular guy pov

Slow Mo is just too cool
