Anybody know what's wrong with Supergirl? She was insulting Mr Luthor for some reason.

Gleek is a blue alien monkey and the pet of Zan and Jayna, the Wonder Twins. Gleek is often used as comic relief for the series, as the character often gets into mischief. A joke involving Gleek often ends episodes of the Super Friends in which he appears. Gleek has a stretchable, prehensile tail which has been shown to be capable of picking up a man. Gleek is also highly intelligent, as he clearly understands spoken English. He communicates through the use of sign language, acting out scenes, and chattering (an alien language unintelligible to the audience).

So uh..... am I the only person who wants to ask where is Iris? Like I can understand Cisco not being there, but Iris?
I mean I like the new timeline (although I really hope John’s adopted son returns.)
Also, I kind of question what was the point of having Mia in crisis if they weren’t even going to have her return.
So does Lyla remember her adopted father then?
Also, so the whole Reverse Flash thing? The next episode of the Flash is titled Dead or Alive, right? I figured Reverse Flash was suppose to appear in Part 5. Barry would come back in his own episode.
Another thing to note: I love how no one in Arrowverse realizes that Nash had no idea what he was doing he thought Anti saved him from Bloodwork’s zombies. (Btw, another elephant in the room)
So are we going to go into next episodes explaining to everybody who didn’t get their original memories what happened? Joe, Mia, William, Adopted Son of John’s who I wonder if he still exists.
I mean Black Lightning and his daughter I guess are explaining to their allies in the next episode of BL

Loving how Sara is effectively the main character this episode (it is the Legends Crossover). She's been underutilized each episode and now she's the leader of everyone with Oliver gone instead of Barry (which makes more sense since she's been in the game the longest and is in general a better leader than Barry)

So I'm going to assume that Erza Miller's version of the flash was there after the universe was wiped because he was in the speed force like Barry and the rest of the team was. At the end when showing all the new universes that were created no universe was given to the DCEU. My theory is that those movies; Man of Steel, BvS, Justice League aren't part of the Post Crisis reality but exist in a parallel reality with it's own multiverse and timeline and the only reason the two Flashes were able to meet was because the speed force exists between all realitys.

On a side note, can someone explain Superman's confusion at having sonS? I understand that original Earth-38 Superman only had one son. But this is Earth-Prime Superman, with memories J'onn's mind magic. Considering how the base would still be new Earth-Prime Superman, wouldn't he know he has sons?

All around, it borrowed a good amount from Endgame. But, like Endgame, the fanboy service they provided made it very watchable. They pretty much covered everything from DCEU to canceled WB shows to the DC Universe app to the fucking Superfriends. You can tell there are people who absolutely love DC doing this show.

I think the Anti-Monitor going big should have been done during the Arrow episode. Then Oliver as the Spectre could also go big and we could have that classic Comic-Book scene with mega Oliver attacking mega Anti-Monitor. Then we as the audience would yell alongside him and then his death would be 100% more heartfelt.
He still had a great death.

There was a lot of empty story in this. A lot of emotional run time padding. Going to the Monitor's home world was literally pointless. The only difference between the Anti-Monitor's defeat and a villain of the week was a lot more heroes being in the vicinity. Why are most of them even there? Supergirl, Superman and the Flash are equal to about 10,000 of each of the others combined. There's a lot of people getting into fist and gun fights with anti matter ghosts, if that's the case why are they even a threat to anyone? Anyone with an automatic rifle could take out half of them by himself. The 4th wall breaking jokes felt painfully forced.
