I have had the great privilege of watching The Flash: Speed of Fate by u/T-8-0-0 a reimagining and complete rework of the 2023 movie and… WOW! 🤯

The Flash: Speed of Fate is genuinely one of the most thoughtful reimaginings of a bad movie I’ve ever seen.

What makes this edit work isn’t just removing scenes… it’s understanding why the original film failed in the first place. The forced humour is stripped back, the tone is far more consistent, and for the first time the movie actually feels like it belongs in the same universe as Man of Steel, BvS, and Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

The rescoring is honestly incredible throughout. Using Hans Zimmer tracks from Man of Steel and BvS in key moments adds real weight, hope, tragedy, and suspense to scenes that originally felt completely hollow and forgettable. Even small details, like adding proper Batmobile sound design to Batman’s Batcycle sequences, help restore a sense of power and presence that the theatrical version constantly undermined.

Most importantly, the characters are finally treated with respect.
Batman actually feels like Ben Affleck’s Batman again instead of a parody of him. The colour grading feels deliberate and cinematic instead of oversaturated for the sake of looking “fun.” A lot of the awful CGI moments that completely destroyed immersion in the theatrical cut have either been removed or reworked so the film can actually breathe emotionally without constantly collapsing into self-parody.

Obviously, no edit can completely erase the DNA of what was originally shot, and there are still rough edges here and there because of those limitations. But that almost makes the achievement more impressive.
This edit takes a film that I genuinely considered a disgrace to these characters and somehow transforms it into something meaningful, coherent, and actually worth sitting down and watching for two hours.

And unlike the theatrical ending, which felt pointless and forgettable, this version actually finds a way to tie the story back into the Snyderverse with purpose and emotional meaning.
You can feel the care behind every decision.

WATCH THIS EDIT 20th MAY! ⚡️

It was the figure that I suffered the most delays with and lost a deposit to “OneMansHobby” for when he disappeared, but in the end I got him and I could not be happier 🔥

My house is on the end of this terrace and the road to the left of the picture is a nice “cul-de-sac” so all the parking along the road is often open. Sometimes I can park right outside my back gate where my charger is (where the cable leads), sometimes I have to park 1 or two cars down and the 7.5m was just a bit short.

I decided to buy a new cable from EVExtras and went with the motto “you can never have too much, but you can have too little” so I used that logic to go from a 15m to a 25m cable 😂

At least now I can almost charge anywhere on the street.

At least now I know I can always charge the van before work if I need to.

I promise this isn’t an advertisement and I’m sure some people won’t believe that, but I just bought this book after hearing the lads that made it on a podcast and it’s completely opened my eyes to how I’ve been pricing jobs wrong ever since I started my own business.

I’m not an electrician, and nothing in this book is specific to electricians (despite the title haha) and can be interchained with any trade, which works for me because I’m a plumber/heating engineer, but I never realised how bad a standard day rate is when running a business versus when you’re just a subcontractor. I guess it seems obvious when you say it out loud, but it never occurred to me until reading this book. I guess that’s because I’m not a businessman and never had any business education in my life.

Anyway, it gives a very good guideline how to calculate your business running costs and what profits are meant for, crucially how to price correctly so that you’re not pricing unfairly and so that your quote you send out you know are fair and it should relieve a lot of the stress knowing that your price is 100% spot on. As I said, I just finished reading it so I’ll have to see how it really works out for me stress wise, but just thinking about it makes me feel more confident now that I’ve worked out my running costs and margins correctly.

Anyway, I thought I would share in case any of my fellow plumbers or heating engineers were sort of guessing their prices and as a result not really going anywhere.
