by Grant Gustin has revealed the one fight scene in The Flash that he tried to change. Gustin had quite a few exciting battles over The Flash‘s nine seasons, which included showdowns with other speedsters, different kinds of villains, and even a few heroes. The show’s biggest foe was Reverse-Flash, who had many nerve-wracking fights with Gustin’s Barry Allen. However, one The Flash fight sequence that involved both characters ended up being the one fight in the show that Gustin did not enjoy and even tried to change.
At Comic Con Liverpool (via Flashverse_yt/Twitter), Grant Gustin addressed how he disliked The Flash‘s “lightsaber” fight scene with Godspeed, Reverse-Flash, and Barry Allen.

When the episode was released, the “lightsaber” fight sequence between The Flash, Reverse-Flash, and Godspeed became a viral meme, with fans and those who do not even watch the Arrowverse series mocking the concept. Gustin’s latest comments reveal that he knew the idea was confusing, and perhaps a more traditional speedster battle would have made more sense for the episode. The actor’s comments help show again that Gustin understands the fans and The Flash. However, the show’s creatives did not listen to the actor, and the result was a confusing fight sequence.
Our Take On Grant Gustin’s The Flash Fight Scene Comments
Gustin Was Right To Question The “Lightsaber” Sequence
Out of nowhere, Godspeed grabbed one of his speedster lightnings, with The Flash and Reverse-Flash following suit, leading to a sword fight. The ability was something that the show had not explored before, and the moment was so jarring from what the usual action sequences in The Flash looked like that it turned out goofy, not epic. Gustin’s baffled comments match my exact thoughts watching that whole sequence unfold. In the end, a traditional speedster battle would have been more satisfying and fitting for the DC series, but The Flash‘s creatives chose not to listen to the show’s lead star.
