Homecoming Who is the best Flash Thompson?

[metaphysician]

Flash Thompson is not in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

A false statement.

I don't mind having an indian flash but I don't think he was intimidating and I don't really see why Peter would be antagonised by him

Poor Revolori. Everybody thinks he's indian.

Yeah, Zylka was fine in the role and he wasn't an outright jerk, but we didn't get enough OF him. What little was there, though, I liked. As mentioned, he did show Peter some sympathy after Ben's death. I still like that "Feels better, right?" line he says right after Peter has shoved him against a locker. Flash has been a jerk to Peter for who knows how long, and the moment Peter turns the tables, albeit in a moment of weakness due to dealing with a huge loss, rather than fight back or taunt, Flash sympathizes with Peter.

This scene alone makes him the best Flash of the 3 IMO, since none of them really got a ton of screen time. Homecoming's version wasn't really a bully, he was just a really annoying kid that got jealous anytime people were paying attention to Peter instead of him.

Revolori's is the only one that feels like they really had an idea for. Manganiello was pretty much a plot device.. though that slow-mo punch is one of my favorite scenes ever. I wanted to see more of Zylka's, since he seemed like his character was going somewhere. He hit a lot of the notes, but it sort of felt like he was just written to hit the notes, if you know what I mean. I'm sort of split, tbh.

I feel the same way. They finished his arc way too quickly just to do it, it seems. His character didn't really have anywhere to go after that.

Shouldn't you be in a bunker in Argentina or something?

Neither is perfect. I prefer SM1's Flash, he's just a bully and that's all he needed to be and the only problem is that he gets very little screen time.

TASM's Flash was terrible! Such horrible writing for such a minor character, the bully aspect of his character is extremely over the top and then he changes for no reason lol that's not development, it's inconsistency.

I like Tony Revolori as an actor a lot but his Flash is a non factor, he was just sorta there. He was actually kinda pathetic.

It's called sub text. Obviously, something happened in Flash's life that made him want to emphasize with Peter's loss. I don't know how you can can he was 'terrible' when he has a character and a story rather than being a device to show Peter is bullied.
