Part Three: Well, we are back again for the third part of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, with this episode taking place on The Flash. There was a lot which went down in the episode, with twists from the comics, callbacks to other DC Comics television series from the past, and a cliffhanger which will have us waiting till January. Spoilers ahead for the episode, lets recap. Recap Ray finishes creating the paragon detector which tells the team that Barry is the paragon of love, Martian Manhunter is the paragon of honor, and a man from Earth-1 named Ryan Choi is the paragon of humanity, who Iris, Ray, and Ralph set out to find. Meanwhile, Constantine, Mia, and Diggle go to Earth-666, to enlist the help of Lucifer to retrieve Oliver’s soul from purgatory.  Elsewhere, Barry, Cisco, Killer Frost, and Pariah find in the Anti-Monitor’s lair, that the Flash of Earth-90 was captured by the Anti-Monitor and is running on a ‘cosmic treadmill’ which is powering the an...

In this episode we see the Monitor’s plan fall into play, as a few new concepts are introduced. So spoilers ahead for the episode, lets recap.

Part One: Well, after a year of waiting since its announcement, the time has come where ‘worlds will live, worlds will die, and nothing will ever be the same’ as the DC comics television crossover event of 2019, Crisis on Infinite Earths has started on Supergirl. In this article, I am going over a recap of the episode, as well as my thoughts, and the plethora of Easter Eggs in the episode. Spoilers ahead for the episode. Recap After a wave of anti-matter is found covering Earth-38, J’onn warns the team about the Monitor and the coming crisis. Brainiac-5 discovers that the Kryptonian refugee planet of Argo is in imminent danger from the wave. Kara makes a distress call to her cousin Clarke about the danger that he, Lois, and their son, Johnathan are in. Clarke and Lois send Johnathan in a pod to escape the destruction of Argo, as they meet their fate along with Alura- Kara’s biological mother.

Season 6 Episodes 2-8: Hey everyone, since I could not keep up with the Flash season six this past fall, and the crisis is upon us, I have decided to review the past season past the premiere up until the cliffhanger where Crisis starts. Spoilers ahead for this season of the Flash. Plot After learning that he will die in the coming crisis from the Monitor, Barry Allen tries to prepare the team in individual ways to prepare for life post-Crisis, after Barry Allen dies. THroughout Barry individually preparing Ralph, Cisco, and Caitlin in various ways, a new villain, Dr. Ramsey Rosso attempts to cure death which evolves into something more sinister. Meanwhile, a new Harisson Wells named “Nash” appears on Earth 1 attempts to kill the Monitor and expose him as a fraud. The concept that Barry Allen wants to prepare the team for a world where he dies was interesting to see as it developed the team dynamic in a meaningful way. The team was learning that although Barry may...

Season 8 Episodes 1-7: Well, since the crisis is upon us, I wanted to go through and review what has aired of Arrow Season Eight so far, before the crossover begins. Going through, this will be a general consensus of all the episodes scrambled together, and not a one by one review of each episode. Also spoilers ahead for the final season of Arrow, so far. Plot After making a deal last year to save Barry Allen and Kara Danvers from the planet’s doom, Oliver made a deal with the omnipotent being, the Monitor to exchange his life during the coming inevitable crisis, for the lives of the Flash and Supergirl in the current, and the lives of all the infinite lifeforms in the multiverse. Now, duty calls as Oliver has been gathering certain objects, and individuals to create a weapon which will now aid the Monitor stopping the pending crisis. Throughout these various tasks, the Monitor, aided by Lyla Diggle, has tested Oliver in his willingness to sacrifice himself, all the wh...

I dropped weekly viewing of nearly all of the Arrowverse series (except the Flash) in the fall of 2018 because I was not the most satisfied with the ending of last season. But, I really wish I did not drop Legends of Tomorrow season four, because it is amazing. Legends of Tomorrow is arguably the only Arrowverse series that manages to maintain a consistent tone, an interesting and compelling plot, with lovable characters throughout a single season, which is why it has lasted as long as it has.  I want to get into all the reasons why season four of Legends of Tomorrow worked, and why it deserves more credit. Plot The way that the first part of the season was constructed is that it took an episodic approach into constructing conflict, with a villain from the underworld each week being spit out into a part of the timeline where they do not belong, and it is up to the Legends to stop them. However, moving into the last few episodes of the season, everything came togethe...

Well, its that time again, a new trailer for the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has arrived, and this time we are here with the trailer for the Black Widow film, which is set to release in May 2020 and expand upon Scarlett Johansson character of Natasha Romanoff. This trailer is packed filled with different characters, plot elements, and storylines that will tie up a few loose ends, and also set up phase four of the MCU. In this trailer, there will be spoilers for Avengers Endgame, even though this is a prequel. So first things first film is a prequel because Natasha Romanoff sacrificed herself so Clint Barton could get the Soul Stone on Vormir in the Time Heist to save the universe in Avengers Endgame.  It has been confirmed that this film is taking place after Captain America Civil War, and before Avengers Infinity War.  During that time, we know that Steve Rogers, the Falcon, and Natasha went on the run from the U.S government as they still o...
