Well I tried to like it but not fond of The Flash season 5

[Detached Nacelle]

We did release Elseworlds, Earth-X and Crisis as entirely separate sets. To be honest it never crossed my mind what it was like for someone who didnt watch all of them but then I was an all in devotee of the Arrowverse. Granted if it werent for crossover inclusion I wouldnt have stuck with Black Lightning that was not a good show.

"We?" Are you affiliated with them?

It's awesome if you are!

Ah.

Well, in answer to the question in your prior post, it's pretty disorienting.

If memory serves there's a crossover in perhaps the season prior to that one as well, but in that case there weren't any continuing consequences to leave people who hadn't seen the crossover scratching their heads.

Invasion didn't have a lot of consequences apart from everyone meeting Supergirl for the first time and Dominators would reappear once or twice.

Legends of Today and Yesterday obviously feeds in Legends of Tomorrow's first season with some quite big plot holes but hey.

And then there's the host of mini crossovers.

God I miss the Arrowverse. Batgirl, Legends and Supergirl were ended too soon, they survived in quality after Crisis. They should have cancelled The Flash instead.

Outside of the Flash's nosedive in season 7 it would have made a lot of sense to end it after Crisis. It was the whole point of the Flash series teased in episode 1. Flash living, Oliver dying was a point where both shows could end.

I actually thought it started going downhill at the end of Season 1/start of Season 2 when they decided to fuck the timeline with his temporal shenanigans, opened up a blackhole, sucked up buildings that were literally breaking apart, and then immediately papered over it an episode later and gave him a parade. Maybe the special effects guys went overboard but that seemed like a warning to me that I wasn't going to like where this was headed.

That's pretty standard for these kind of shows though, so you kind of get used to it when you watch enough of them. Whole cities will get hit with an apocalyptic disaster one week, and by the next week everything will be back to normal.
