This is the issue with modern movies, all the pointless CGI. In the 90s, they'd have thrown those babies out a skyscraper for real.

Having not seen the movies, I'm pretty sure that alarm was telling him that he was at some kind of calorie deficit. There was a similar running joke in Young Justice where Wally ate a metric fuckton of food because superspeed requires a shitload of energy.

I'm assuming this movie didn't reach full levels of lolspeedforce, at least at the beginning.

Obviously it's CGI and that makes sense but WTF is this scene!? It's so slow and bad. He just sits there staring at everything for awhile, then grabs a snack before saving the babies milliseconds from being slashed and crushed? Like, why linger? It's awkward and draws attention to the CGI babies.

I think Fox Quicksilver is still peak speed scene.

The twist isn't that funny, and these scenes of speedster moving normal speed with everyone else in freeze frame is kinda boring. You've seen one scene, you've seen them all.
And it's even worse when they even do slow-mo on the speedster during said scene.

CW Flash has had better rescue scenes with a fraction of a budget. Turns out when you don't have much money for CGI, you make things thoughtfully and try to get the best bang for your buck.

In the movie, the Flash can't touch people while in the speed force or some shit, so when rescuing one of the babies in the shitty scene OP posted, he closed a microwave around one so he can carry the microwave around while moving super fast, and then he takes the little guy out at normal speed when everyone's all safe.

Everything which I just described is extremely stupid, however, so it was far more amusing for people to just reverse the footage so it looks like he's shoving a baby in a microwave in front of a horrified woman.

The gif is in reverse. He places the baby in the microwave as it's falling to protect it from an explosion. He takes the baby out after he gets them to land safely.

The snack is because he hadn't had his breakfast yet. He was running low on energy and couldn't maintain his speed because of it. The scene is all kinds of stupid, but that snack was the least of it.

Every single one of those babies will die in a different manner before they even reach the ground.

If it's any consolation they probably inhaled some asbestos from the crumbling hospital and will all get mesothelioma within a few years.

What I mean is the scene is set up so that every one of those babies is facing a different death while plummeting to the ground. One is about to be impaled by knives, the other is getting a bottle of acid flung towards them, the other is about to be blown to bits by a gas canister,... And that's the scene they decided to open the movie on. It's like watching a Looney Tunes short being played straight.

I assumed that. It's still a stupid thing to put in the middle of a rescue scene, imo.

Two Ezra Millers all movie didn't help either

Parts of it were fine, it was a mid tier DC movie, I found myself more interested in Batman throughout.

Maybe. But it gave a sense of urgency. His watch was beeping that his energy was running low. In order to save their lives he had to eat to replenish because he has a crazy fast metabolism.
