Something moving near the speed of light through atmosphere is going to be creating nuclear explosions as the object/person compresses and fuses hydrogen molecules together. Not spitting off charges of electricity. Couple multiples of the speed of sound would be baking at 600°F.
But, fuck science.
I was fine with the lightning lasso, she's the daughter of Zeus.

Right but the CW Flash superspeed looks better than the big budget DCEU Flash superspeed. It's probably like 100% greenscreen, whereas the DoFP Quicksilver scene was a mix of green screen and practical.

yeah. Although the technique is not really the problem with that Flash clip. its the artistic design. I'll break it down in a bit. heading out the door atm.
[edit:bleh. thats too much work, I don't care enough to bother.]

I'd say dumber, as she is the daughter of Zeus wielding a lasso forged by Hephaestus. Lassoing a lightning bolt seems pretty much in the wheelhouse of that thing.

The person who designed the DCEU Flash running style literally molded it from speed ice skating. Why it looks so retarded.

That's a good point. I can get past lassoing lighting bolts and it being her variable length kung fu chain whip. But did she ever even use it to make anyone tell her the truth? That's the signature fucking power of the lasso of truth. To use your examples, it would be like spider man shooting webs that weren't sticky or flash with all the lightning bolts moving at normal speed.

I will buy the whole " She is capable because Zeus" argument.
How does she suddenly become light as a feather??? How does an RPG rocket carry her?? An RPG Rocket would not have the power to carry her weight. If anything she is heavier than the average human being( God like Muscle and all). Call Myth Busters. I want a test as to how much weight an RPG Rocket can actually lift beyond its own weight.
Yes....the movie was silliness fun. Nobody could possibly take this seriously within our realm of understanding in physics.

Better question is if she can outrun random cars/trucks, why the hell did she even need a rocket to get in front of them?

Don't need MythBusters for this. The rocket would be way off-kilter, and she'd drop to the earth while the rocket looped her and itself around wonkily. Best she could do is immediately stabilize it pointing up at ~30 degrees above horizontal like a skateboard and have it slowly descend to the ground.

Nerding out over physics and realism seems petty and redundant considering the story, writing, and special effects sucked ass.

Too lazy to do the math, but an RPG fires a 2-7 kg grenade up to 300m/s, assuming minimal, drag. You'd also have to assume she's adding her own thrust vector jumping while tethered.
T/W=1/(L/D)
Thrust-to-weight equals 1 over lift-to-drag.
It's silly, which is why it's fun to dissect.

Was that scene worse than Statham flipping a car to remove a bomb from the bottom of it using a crane hook in The Transporter 2?

Or that its a super hero movie and complaining about things like how much weight a rocket can lift while there are people that can fly and carry buildings is pretty retarded

The issue was Jenkins was given a ton more creative control and she wrote this screenplay. This was her first major picture writing credit in a decade--and she had like 5 other writers trying to fix her abomination of a script. (The first WW was not written by her)
Essentially she's a competent director who also thought she was a good writer...and she's not. She's a bad writer. And this movie is the embodiment of that. Hot fucking garbage writing. Even the dialogue is so god damn cringe..."Have you ever been in love?" (She asks on a lunch break with a work colleague she JUST met 5 minutes ago..lol)
