The way I see it is that even te bad of the CWverse is not as bad as the previous superhero shows like Wonder Woman, Batman 60s, birds of prey, smallville, the old ass superman shows. But that first season of Arrow I considered it as good as say the nolan batman movies, and that first season of the flash was also amazing, quality dipped every season after that and I preferred to have a hiatus and the massive amount of episodes and bad reviews has kept me off ever coming back but I still watch some clips and it doesn't seem THAT bad, comparing it to stuff like some superhero movies and cartoons

I'd personally say yeah, Arrow season 1... fantastic. Then big drops every season after that until the end of season 5. GIGANTIC drop in quality between 5 and everything after it. Ended pathetically.

Flash, I was completely on board until the end of season 4. Then man oh man, what a drop in quality that was. It has been awful ever since.

She’s the new Felicity…that’s why!

Though I have to say they did tone down on her annoying-ish traits in season 7 quite a bit which was refreshing and a needed break missing 2 whole episodes in 14 and 15 and parts of the last 3

Also, why no Superman and/or Supergirl in this? I haven’t watched Part 1 yet and perhaps they show up as surprises in the last Part 5…lame that they don’t have either or in this.

Watching the new episode, if one more character uses the phrase "Level(ed) Up" I'm going to scream.

Saw the first episode of the new season. How boring and cheap again. The first big episode of the crossover and nothing happens. The newer AOC character directs her new newspaper team to write SJW articles and Flash talks to Despero a couple of times. Ray puts on the Atom suit and does... something in Despero's belt.

It's just more bad writers. They have no idea how to do these things anymore.

As is becoming increasingly clear, companies are seeking ESG funds from the government. It turns out going woke, you don't go broke... instead, the government just rewards you with a whole lot of money.

Yeah. Hearing that. Annoying.

I hate to be a broken record but... 2nd episode now. And for a mega crossover thing... this is the most boooooring and cheap one, and by far. And this is maybe the most cringeworthy dialogue I've ever heard.

Kind of figured back in Part 1 that Reverse Flash was behind this. He couldn’t beat Flash in speed in the season 7 finale so he muddle with the timeline to live his life in the future while making it quite chaotic in the present for Barry…and after the end of Part 3, it looks to be the case.

And yeah this has been cheap and pretty lackluster thus far. Maybe I set my expectations too high but I was expecting more scenes with the guest starring heroes and a lot less of the regulars on Team Flash…meh. Hopefully, the action ramps up in Part 4

It'd better. It only really started with 3. This has been a s...l...o...w... burn. Kinda ironic, really for a show about a speedster.

Episode 4 spends way too much time on a back story for a bunch of characters who only exist in a "Reverse-Flashpoint"...but even then Iris is still the glue that holds Barry together/helps him in his darkest moment...even one who is set to marry Thawne.

The Whole Iris is my lightning rod and helps him get the speed to save the timeline is so gag inducing and wank fodder. Stop catering to these damn shippers.




Also Damien Dhark is one of the best characters in the arrowverse

The Flash has sucked for a few seasons... Barry can't stop whining... quit being a b!tch Barry, you're the Flash. Man the fvck up. Every season revolves around him thinking he isn't good enough for X and then everyone smacking him around saying "you're the best of us"... and then one of the supporting cast steps up to save the day.

Yeah, it's weird. Every season Barry Allen becomes quintessentially LESS like Barry Allen. The guy needs to be Steve McQueen, not some kind of weepy Paulie Shore.

TBF, Barry, IMO, has always been best dead with Wally being the Flash.... would be cool if the actor decides to walk & they cast a white Wally with red hair to replace the other Wally who is off doing other stuff...
