Wrong Episode, probably the one right before the crossover
People have issues with how he died, not that he died or the emotional aspect of his goodbye scene.
He got pushed over a couple times by Shadow Demons and you didn't see the wave energy hit him. Obviously not full on blast, but radiation burning once it got closer or whatever.
Add more of an impact to either part and it plays a LOT better.
This, basically.
Other than that, I kinda dig that it wasn't some big, bombastic blaze of glory. Dude was doing what he did best, overextended himself and paid with his life. I kinda appreciate how soberingly normal (relatively speaking) it is.
They should've had the Shadow Demons shred his suit as they hit him. I realize they probably didn't do that because those suits are expensive as fuck to make, but they should've made an exception for Oliver's goddamn death scene.
I promise that's got nothing to do with me.
I needed to see Oliver actually take the beat down. The implied thing made it more humorous than sad.
They just cut away and he comes back bloody, says he knew it was coming, and says his goodbye
then the monitor is like "oh wait. Uh. This isn't how it was supposed to happen."
I'm not trying to dunk on it too bad, but yeah it did feel like a cutaway gag. "I can handle it!" *cut to a destroyed Oliver* Narrator: "He couldn't handle it."
Maybe cut some of the other stuff from this episode to give his last fight a little more room to breathe?
This crossover is reminding me once again how much these Arrowverse shows are basically the western equivalent of Tokusatsu shows in Japan.
Especially with these yearly crossover events, it's like the Super Taisen movies that Toei has with their shows almost every year lol...
Also there's no way Oliver is dead when there are still 2-3 Arrow episodes left, not counting the crossover episode of Arrow of course.

Ok I am lost. Who the fuck is Wells now? Parallax? And did the actual Green Arrow just die?
Regardless I am in. I can't believe they're actually doing a multiverse Crisis on TV. Props.

Someone called Pariah apparently
Actual Green Arrow did indeed die
I hope the antagonist gets properly developed. I've never read the actual comic so I don't really know anything about the Anti-Monitor. The ghost army though was super lame. They weren't really menacing and overall it just felt like they were not a threat at all so it was disappointing that Oliver died by them. The aliens they fought in Invasion! were more terrifying.
They really have to sell Anti-Monitor as a credible threat in the next few episodes though. They are in a situation similar to the MCU in which they have been hyping up this event for ages now and now finally have to deliver.

Yeah the episode kind of went by fast. Not a lot of interactions either but hopefully the rest feel that way. The opening was really great though with all the earths.

No sense destroying the suit if they'll need to use it in, oh, a couple of episodes.
It's like I know Oliver isn't dying there on that table but damn that hit me in the feels anyway.
Great prologue episode of Crisis that was VERY fast-paced.

Mia's just left with a bunch of strangers stuck in a past that's no longer even what happened in her actual past lol
There will definitely be Wells in the second half of the season, they said Crisis plays a big part in that.
The only good scene in the first episode was the one about hope between Kara and Clark.
Lots of bad CGI ghosts and unnecessary flips.
Completely random scene with some random timeline Olly and Sarah. Like what the fuck was the point of that lol.
Olly on his death bed scene was unintentionally hilarious.
I don't know what I expected out of another Arrowverse crossover event.

I finally watched it after a lot of annoyances. That was a start. Oliver dying in this first part was a surprise, though it probably isn't the real death. And for some video game references, I keep expecting giant babies to fall out of the sky.
I had to go back and check this. Well then that was very weird. Looks like that brief negative speed-force visit finally got to him.
Prob yet another Wells. Crisis would so much easier if the tag was "A Wells must die"
So, I stepped away from Arrowverse for a while, and now I'm like who tf are these people when I'm watching this.
Arrow's going out like this, huh?

It's OK. All the villians work in National City. Metropolis is totally safe.

The other crossovers got to have low key moments where they got to talk, introduce newbies, etc.
This was basically just all hands on deck. Not a lot of time for meet cutes. Does kind of drain the charm a little.
In the comics Pariah continued to exist after Crisis, so Nash could survive and remain Pariah in this one too
C-can we please get a show about Routh's Superman instead of Earth 38's Joberman T.T ?
OP
OP
Considering his storyline, I'd say most of Routh's Superman's supporting cast is well and truly dead.
Routh's definitely got that special something though. I like Tyler's incarnation but just look at that thumbnail, Routh has that S factor that Reeve had. Like Tyler is that perfect supporting character Superman, but Routh is the leading man.
I just googled Alexander Luthor (never read any of the comics) and apparently he built a Multiverse Tower that was destroyed in Crisis. Is that what the Quantum Tower is standing in for?
Jane swears at the Anti-Monitor until he surrenders while the rest of the team wallow in self-pity.
The Monitor built all the towers in Crisis on Infinite Earths, Alexander Luthor rebuilt one in Infinite Crisis. Seems like the Quantum tower would be based on the first.
Tylers costume is dull and boring and all he has been used as is to show Kara is better and stronger. So no wonder he has no S factor. Hopefully his new series fixes this and we get a new brighter suit and actual Superman.
As established in Elseworlds, to do that requires to tamper with the cosmic balance, so someone else should give their life in exchange
And even then Oliver was fated to die because he traded his life for Barry and Kara's in the first place, which could make his life already mortgaged for this kind of deal
I just want Cliff to show up and just say "what the fuck?" to everything.
OP
OP
It's gonna be all on whether he can pull off being Superdad and how well cast Jon Kent is
Given how progressive the Arrowverse tries to be (especially Supergirl) I'm suprised we aren't seeing Calvin Ellis, the Superman and President from the comics Earth 23.
Well that depends if Jon is going to be a baby or not. 100% give him a new suit and make him the strongest mofo there is done. Do Superman right ffs.

Oliver dying is having the same effect as watching Black Panther get snapped lol.
I remember the writers back after Infinity War saying "We can't write a show based on whether the audience knows trade secrets, insider info and comic book logic. We have to tell the story in front of us." So I'm cool with the Oliver death even though it likely isn't the final Oliver death

Things are filmed out of sequence at every film production that exists. That's no excuse.
Give him one of the throwaway stuntman suits and give that battle damage. Keep his for future eps. Whatever.

Well, they dont really film with each other and in most cases are working with entirely different film crews that they don't know at all. It's like going to a new school or transferring to a new job site. You know what you're supposed to do, but you dont know anyone, the flow is different and it all feels weird.
Add in a rushed schedule with barely any time to get comfortable and there you go.
