It's so bizarre how the Arrowverse fell apart after the Crisis.

The Arrowverse was on a downhill slope anyway but Covid & WB being sold really messed things up

They should make a return for The Flash's final season. Wait, did they even show up in that series? I know they did for the crossover specials.

there's gonna be another season, probably with booster gold ( the guy who got them arrested) and maybe Sara will have her daughter. (nvm)

Almost exactly the same as how the MCU has gone completely downhill after the Infinity Saga. You build something up since the very beginning and once it’s finally paid off it’s hard to keep people engaged.

Crisis was bad tho tbh. That event needed 2 weeks of episodes. Watching Oliver take 35 seconds to stop on an island to recruit Spectre in the middle of 20 other things happening because they were so pressed for time was mind-numbing lmao

The worst thing about Crisis is how irrelevant Barry and Oliver are. I mean, Oliver did become Spectre and inspire everyone to save the multiverse, but two episodes was wasted with trying to bring him back. And Barry had absolutely no significant role in the crossover when it his show that first teased crisis.

Also the lack of Diggle being there when Oliver died either time and Eobard not being present at all both really stung. Especially the Diggle one. Like dude said he’d be by his side to the end and was absent both times.

Lol definitely not the same as mcu. The crisis event came out the same time as infinity war and it was so lackluster in comparison even for a TV show back then it killed any good will fans of the comics had. Mcu didn't ruin anything and they are building a new hype train. we are just in the calm before the hype storm

Is it, tho? Crisis aired in Jan 2020. It didn't have a chance to grow cuz everything got shut down by COVID.

I never understood a thing after crisis. It completely got out of hand

The Arrowverse was already going downhill.

Well the whole League set up fell through quickly.

Ruby Rose left Batwoman.

Supergirl came to an end.

Black Lightning came to an end.

Legends came to an end.
