That was a satisfying conclusion.
As per usual, great character interplay, and they blew the bank on some nice action FX.
The Superman/Lois development reminds me that i read somewhere a CW Superman series HAS been discussed. It’d be nice to see the character done well.
And now the potential spoiler stuff.
Spoiler:
Ollie was of course awesome, as the weakest member of the group having the most badass ‘you’re gonna listen to me’ moment.
Secondary characters from all across the shows, and Psycho Pirate...oh Psycho Pirate. That shit gave me tingles.On the 40th anniversary of the OG Superman movie, Barry and Kara give us their version of the cheesiest but most memorable moment in that movie. Sweet.
The Arrowverse is everything the DCEU could have been, if they’d really tried. Arrow and MoS premiered only 8 months apart, but the CW, on basically a shoestring budget (compared to what movies get to play with), using 90% secondary characters and actors, have managed to engagingly world build the **** out of their DC, and are now positioned to tackle the Holy Grail of the Company’s many classic stories next fall.
The DCEU? Not so much.
Superman got cucked hard in the show 😂
Basically Lois said the world and women are better because there’s “less conflict” and she’s better because she’s a woman, and Melissa Benoist made a cringeworthy statement about Black Suit Superman being “too scared” to be a girl. Seriously the writers are awful
Weakest of the three crossover episodes, mainly due to the typical Supergirl cringe one comes to expect from that show's writers. Also, the bit where
Spoiler:
they had the stand-off with Barry talking Ollie out of shooting the kryptonite arrow was dumb as hell. It's like the writers forgot that Barry can literally go intangible and phase through things, much like Amazo did through Superman's attacks in the first crossover episode.
Still a good crossover overall though, and I am looking forward to seeing where this arc leads further.
Eh, yeah, there are some fluctuations, but I wouldn't go quite that far. Also, I kind of do doubt
Spoiler:
he did it purely via brute force alone, considering the previous fight. Probably applied his super brain to find some kind of weakness or soft spot no one else could detect. But still, the fact that he could figure out a way to stop him is extremely impressive and shows how dangerous Brainy can be.
The worst PIS power drop IMO still happened to Ragman on Arrow the one time. The guy consistently tanked hard impacts, bullets, arrows, explosions, and even survived nukes on two separate occasions, yet got one-shotted by Prometheus once for the sake of the plot of the episode (another member of the team needed to be the last one standing in that fight for plot reasons).
