I said way earlier in this thread I was avoiding the other Arrowverse shows due to their reputation, but hearing how legendarily bad Barry is kinda makes me want to check it out.

I checked out on Flash (and Supergirl) during the mid season break when I realized I didn't give a poo poo anymore. What ended up happening?

On Supergirl she fought Superman (who was being mind controlled sort of) and beat him. Afterwards he straight up says he was at 100% strength and she beat him fair and square. Also Mon-El left Earth forever because Lena Luthor created a device that put a bunch of lead into Earth's atmosphere.

Wouldn't that give everyone on earth lead poisoning? Did Lena Luthor make everyone mentally retarded?

No, the device magically protected all humans from it. It was originally designed to put Kryptonite dust in the air.

Perfectly logical.

That poo poo is bio-accumulative. People breathing in lead for 70+ years, plus the regular exposure to lead. and it gets passed to fetuses from their mothers

Next season on Supergirl: "Sure are a lot of premature and still births at Metropolis General. Kara, go see if it's an alien or something"

Barry being a dumbass was the basis for the whole mega-crossover this year.

But that does not begin to cover exactly how awful Barry is.

His decision at the end of season 2 is the most villainous done, across the entire Arrowverse.

Like, it seems hyperbolic to say so, but Season 2 of Arrow is genuinely one of my favorite TV seasons of all time. Like, competing with GoT Seasons 5 and 6, or Westworld S1 good. Granted, I only binged it, but it's just so well paced and so well set up. It's so incredible how it went from so good to so bad in the span of half a season.

No, the planet was being invaded by an army of Daxamite refugees led by Mon-El's mother, who wanted earth to be new Daxom. Lena gave the trigger for the device to supergirl to be used as an absolute last resort.

Funny how both The 100 and Arrow had a season finale which leaves the fate of everyone outside the main lead open. Contract negotiations at the CW this year must be quite interesting.

It's kind of sad that with the explosion I didn't think *OMG they killed off the cast* so much as *wow, that will give CW some leverage in contract negotiations*.

Anatoly gave them to him when they were setting up the plan. It was a wig over his wig and a fake beard.

Just saw the last two episodes of the season. Chase was great. Almost as good as Slade.

I really want Slade to end up on the Waverider. That would be pretty good. What will happen instead will be that he managed to rescue Evelyn, and she's his new sidekick.

I hope Nameless Mom doesn't die. I could be wrong, but I don't think the kid will add much to the show.

Thea, Lance, both Canaries, Dig, Dog, and Curtis - can't see any of these dying. Felicity dying would be the ultimate "gently caress you" from Chase, but probably didn't happen. The internet reaction would be fantastic though.

Merlyn died on paper, but, I don't buy it. He may be gone for a season though.
