Official Crisis on Infinite Earths Thread

Agree with the anti monitor being a dud. Feel like cw just didn't have the money to make it a real epic fight.
- and he had the worst “army” ive ever seen. An army of beebos wouldve done more damage
- overall i enjoyed the series. But i think if they actually had a major budget, it couldve been

Remember the trash big battle vs Darhk's army. they should've been hired someone better to handle the big fights.

This was a strong event. So much piff to digest.

Arrow becoming the Spectre.

The movie Flash cameo.

Marv Wolfman popping in.

Reverse Flash constantly reincarnating.

The Post Multiverse scene was dope.

The DCTV JL.

I had a feeling that one of the movie members would show up. Earlier I said it would be Aquaman but The Flash made more sense.

I didn't like the Tom Welling cameo because it was like he made it a point he's not superman and he's not putting that damn suit on

Lucifer was my favorite cameo and I stopped watching the show. I need to pick it back up again. I'm waiting for the other CW shows to come on Netflix to catch up on everything.

The gay brother from 2 1/2 men did a pretty good job playing Lex so I might watch that again. The last episode I saw had Kevin Sorbo

This was embarrassing to watch and overall terrible. These shows literally disintegrated to power rangers level of seriousness and filled with plot holes and half cocked storylines. It’s insulting watching these shows from the beginning and having to succumb to such a mediocre 5 parter. I’ve always had issues with the crossovers starting from the 3rd one but this one is definitely the worst.

I hope they aren't going to be added to Black Lightning Universe in a major way (I'm sure Jefferson will probably touch on it but never tell anyone) but wouldn't all the heros he known by the world's on each show now?

HOW THE fukk WILL BLACK LIGHTING FINISH THE GREATNESS OF THIS CURRENT SEASON

I was watching this and my wife started cracking up laughing at the final battle.
The storyline on this one was just awful. I don't know the original Crisis storyline that well but I know it is highly regarded. They could have come with something better than this

The 4th part was horrible but I loved every bit of part 5. It had the right part of camp and fun that I expect from DC. I prefer my DC to be fun and bright and hate when they get too dark.

Lex was the big winner of the entire event. Charlie's little brother stole the show and I think I'm more excited for new episodes of Supergirl now that I know he's gonna play a big part. I'm just disappointed we didn't get the reverse flash at some point. I hope he comes back during the second half of Flash.

Just so I don't sound like a Homer, this event had a shyt ton of plot holes and looked like it was shot on a TV budget.

For everyone wondering where Reverse-Flash was

In the newspaper article mentioning the Flash's disappearance, it was said that the Reverse-Flash was present the night red skies appeared over Central City. So, where was the villain?

"I guess what it really comes down to is not being beholden to a headline from six years ago that was not written by any of the showrunners involved in the crossover," Guggenheim says. "A lot of things drive our stories, and a lot of things determine what choices we make. To me, tracking toward a headline written six years ago is literally the definition of ‘the cart driving the horse.'"

"We’ve had Reverse-Flash so prominent in the Arrowverse over the years, including in last year’s crossover and the crossover before that," he continued. "I love the character and I love Tom [Cavanagh] as a person, and I certainly love Matt Letscher’s version, but you have to make choices."

For everyone wondering where Reverse-Flash was

If that’s the case, then why even have Reverse Flash mention it at all during he and Barry’s last encounter?

Surely they could have found a way to include him in the crossover even if it was just a cameo. What about Psycho Pirate? Cutting the scene with Beebo could have been time and money devoted to those characters.

Remember how Elseworlds set the stage for Psycho-Pirate to play a huge role in Crisis on Infinite Earths? In the comics, the Anti-Monitor boosted his powers so that he could pit Earth's heroes against each other, but he was nowhere to be seen during this event. So, why didn't he show up?

"[We] actually had Psycho Pirate in various iterations, in various different ways," he explains. "It’s funny, you go into this type of event thinking, 'We’ve got five hours and that’s going to be all the time in the world to tell every single story and include every single character we want to and do every single moment we have in mind.'"

"When you actually start breaking it, you discover wow, there’s still never enough time and there’s never enough space to do all the different ideas. Psycho Pirate was one of those characters that was in and out, and in and out. We basically realized that given the story we were telling, the only reason we were having him in there was because he was in the original comic."

"When we’re finding ourselves forcing moments just to be faithful to the comic, that stuff is usually the first kind of moments to go, actually, much to chagrin of my Twitter feed."

he didnt mention it though... he said next crisis... meaning major event... WE took it as Crisis because they announced it as the next X-over.
and Marc explained why they cut psycho pirate in another article

on a side note.. I thing it wouldve been better if only the paragons remembered ... not John telling everybody

Disappointing, but it makes sense.

Originally only the paragons remembered, but I guess CW is going to use the plot of everybody knowing to fuel the second half of the season for their Arrowverse shows.

I really wish they would have used the Crisis as well to help solve the issue of the bloated cast of the Flash, but I guess they had other plans in mind.

All caught up. fukking. Awesome.
Ollie gawdFilms and Tv are officially canonTimeout. Does that mean we could get a potential JL Dark Halloween type episode SuperfriendsGleek

Should've pulled a Walking Dead and eliminated a few people

Having Barry and maybe Nash as the only ones remembering them would've been dope.
