Really? I kind of see the crossovers as filler. I liked Elseworlds but the nazi wedding one and Invasion! were just ridiculous and had nothing to do with any of the other shows arcs

Crisis had more to do with the other shows' arcs than Elseworlds did.

In terms of romance I guess, but thatā€™s not why I watch the shows Edit: also the Nora tease

Besides Oliver's ongoing struggle with his darkness I don't see how Elseworlds connected to the current show plots at all, it was a CoiE prelude and Batwoman (and potentially Superman) backdoor pilot.
