The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I honestly thought that suit-up montage was going to take half the rest of the episode.

I'm sad we didn't get to see Caitlyn get icy, Felicity putting on her glasses, Harry throwing something, and Mick rooting around in the fridge as part of it.

Oliver setting up Nazi Oliver as the real Green Arrow is going to be a strange direction for the show to take but let’s see how this plays out.

Man, Oliver shooting an arrow into the heart of a Nazi mass murdering despot version of himself is either the most theraputic thing he's ever done or the most most psychologically damaging.

So I stopped watching Arrow a couple of seasons ago during peak "Felicity and pals" drama after Laura died. But this episode of the crossover looked like Laura was back.

Did Black Siren join Team Arrow? Wasn't she in Camp X-Ray Vision?

My name is Oliver Queen. After five years in hell, I returned home with only one goal: to save my city. But my old approach wasn't enough. I had to become someone else. I had to become something else. I had to become the Green Führer.

Sorry, guy.
Just poking my head in here to ask where Crisis on Earth X starts? (What show, what episode?)

I'm current on Flash (except last night's) Behind a couple on DC Legends, and behind one, maybe on Arrow?

I don't watch Supergirl, but will for the one episode i need on this crossover.

Thank you!

It really wouldn't have bothered me if Oliver and Felicity had ended up getting together again because that's been the trend for some time now. but to do it right when Iris and Barry are having their big moment that the whole crossover led into makes zero sense! like, the gently caress?

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
Also, if you think about, Felicity also took Caitlin's place as maid-of-honor.

That's, like, three levels of Felicitizing.

I like the idea that Nazi Tommy was probably raised and trained to be Prometheus by his proud father Nazi Malcolm. Hell there has to be some untold story of Nazi Malcolm and the Nazi Queens' Undertaking and how Nazi Oliver rose to the position of "Fuhrer."

It was odd but I kinda of assumed it was just an easy excuse to bring him into Earth 1 if they want to. Not like he couldn't have just jumped anyway but it makes it easy to say "Earth X is better, I want to return home, I have to protect my Earth" or whatever if they want to.

Or some other thing explained in the mysterious lost web series.

I've seen blood feuds start for even proposing during another person's wedding much less that. Next season of Arrow will be Iris West arching Felicity Smoak

So apparently Nazi Gideon was voiced by Susanna Thompson. I knew that voice sounded familiar. That means Fuhrer Oliver had his programmers and engineers specifically code an artificial intelligence with the voice of his mother simply for him to be able to tell her to shut the gently caress up.

What a dick.

I honestly thought it was a callback to Gideon's original (Thawne associated) voice myself, but that does make it a whole lot funnier.

I'm only 2 eps into Crisis but man, taken overall (again, so far) this has a really great comic book "epic" feel to it I really like. I have enjoyed the crossovers in the past to varying degrees, but this one feels the coolest so far. I especially felt like the opening minutes of the first one (Supergirl) had a really warm, realistic tone to the wedding proceedings...

What blew me away was how ballsy the entire thing was for a regular over the air show. The first shot was a swastika. The team was detained in an actual concentration camp, complete with the "work will set you free" gates. They had two guys kiss full on. (It's a weird double standard but guys being affectionate with each other is way less accepted on tv than girls)

Everything about it was incredible, and not only did no one bat an eye, but they're demanding more. DCTV took a risk and loving crushed it.

Nah, it's kind of official by now: people who've seen both Crisis and Justice League kind of universally agree Crisis was infinitely the better of the two.

I wouldn’t say infinitely. The amount by which Crisis on Earth-X surpasses Justice League is entirely quantifiable. Precisely one fuckton.

It doesn't matter, but was the Archer in the very first scene supposed to by Tommy-Prometheus or Ollie-Fuhrer? It was dark and their costumes are so similar to begin with.
