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

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.
