It implied that she would die in the process, as she wouldn't be able to come back. In the comic version of Crisis, the Monitor dies. My prediction: That wasn't the Monitor meeting Felicity. My guess is that the Monitor dies during Crisis and Oliver takes his place, keeping it secret so his family and friends wouldn't be targeted. It would be the only way Oliver can get a happy ending. We can all come back to this thread in a few months and laugh about how I got this wrong... Which of course is a spoiler in itself because it means there is still a universe around.

zslane Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 So I assume that all the Earth numbers are either from the comics or are intended to be clever nods to the tv settings in question. Like, I assume that Earth-66 is a reference to 1966 when Burt Ward was Robin on his tv show. And Earth-666 is a reference to being home to Lucifer Morningstar. But what about the others? Has anyone decoded all the other Earth numbers and what they refer to? Seems like it would be a fun sort of trivia game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Yes some have. The arrow wikia pages for each episode has stuff like that. I’ve also read web pages promising to reveal all Easter eggs from each Crisis episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergirl lives on Earth 38 because 1938 was the year Superman first appeared in the comics. Of course it should have been Earth 59 because 1959 was the year Supergirl first appeared.

Cassandra Posted January 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Overall, not bad. Nice they're all on the same Earth. But I think the new Stargirl series will be on Earth 2. And Ezra Miller did a cameo which could only help is career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 The reaction of the two Barrys to realizing they were feeling up each other's suits was too cute. Can I just say I'm tired of Tyler Hoechlin's Superman needing to be rescued? I hope he gets to be more effective in his own new series. The setup for the change in Supergirl's part of the world looks very intriguing. Clearly Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor will be an ongoing feature of the series. Of course he's still a villain, but it appears that in this time line he hasn't been publicly exposed as such yet. That makes him a far more subtle and insidious threat. It also implies a major change in Kara's relationship with Lena Luthor, assuming she still has one. Matt the Bruins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjack Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 My favorite bit was the autograph seeker “Marv, M-A-R-V!” For anyone who didn’t recognize him that was Marv Wolfman the writer/creator of the original Crisis on Infinite Earths comic. Naming Gardner pier and Perez plaza after Gardner Fox and George Perez was kinda cool also.

Matt the Bruins Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I liked most of the character beats, particularly in the last two episodes. But the changes to the settings and scope of the fights fell far short of the comics, and it at least felt like there were a lot more contrivances to railroad the plot.

aylwin13 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 There were so many good moments for me like the Superfriends theme and the Hall of Justice exterior shot. My favorite moment of all was the scene where the Earth-2 Flash takes the other Flash's speed and takes his place on the treadmill. For me, allowing John Wesley Shipp's Flash be the hero brought closure to his role in the 1990-91 series, which had a very abrupt end. I also thought that using the clip from that series (as if he were reliving his past) was a great touch. wcw43921 and Matt the Bruins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 The Doom Patrol and the Titans are no longer on the same earth. Kind of surprised I didn't see a Smallville earth in the new order of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
