    When I think of fast, I imagine swift and quick movements but with all these yellow lightnings it seems very cumbersome. I understand that it is to show the striking speed but being used all the time I see him running with surrounding patterns resembling a net kinda annoys me.

    Do you mind these things or is it bearable for you ?

    Not really. I always figured it was a fine representation of him channeling the Speed Force.

    I like it when it is shown to be done right. Where it glows as he runs. Not like some representations where he is just covered in yellow stripes.

    I like that lightning surrounds him when he runs because it shows that he's channelling the speed force. And it looks cool.

    cumbersome means large or heavy, and that's the last thing I think of when I think of lightning
