What are some issues you have with characters in super hero movies and TV shows? For instance, I'm watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and there's a character named Yo-Yo Rodriguez that's a speedster. She can clearly take out an entire room of bad guys but very rarely ever goes fast whenever the rest of the team is fighting.
Speedsters in general tend to bother me because they're so overpowered but they never really utilize their speed when they need it most, allowing something to catch them off guard. Very rarely are scenarios written well that make their defeat believable or even nonsensical. Still on the topic of speedsters, I also remember an episode of the Flash where Flash was battling a swarm of bees and couldn't figure out how to beat them. He ended up winding his arms around in circles like a lunatic to create a vortex when all he had to do was grab a container and put them all in with his superspeed. Are you telling me Flash isn't fast enough to do something as simple as putting bees in a container? No, he was to get all crazy arms... I know, I know, it's just good televsion... but then again, it isn't.
What bothers you guys?
