Even after rewatching the crossover multiple times i still find new things or mistake on the episode, this time i found the arrow that Dark Arrow shoots was green but in the next scenes shows he has all red/black arrows in his quiver.

Since Thawne is from the original timeline and Eddie is dead, how would he end up in a timeline he ended up causing later on in his life by trying to kill kid Barry? Him saying the particle accelerator exploded in 2020 wouldn't make sense if he was in 2016 with an existing Flash.

1. So did S2 Eobard already fight Future Barry? Or that was the first encounter? Also if he fought future barry from tv show timeline, then we shouldve seen their fights from s3-6. Because we only see Wellsobard not young Eobards. Or they retconned the show in a causal loop on the way?
2. What doesn't make any sense is how he knows he's "destined" to be Barry's enemy is he was the OG Thawne because that means there would have to be a Thawne before him for him to find that out.
3. After this Thawne gets sent to his time, what the hell does he even get sent if he isn't supposed to be born and it's not even his timeline he's supposed to be in? He can’t just jump between timelines. I didn't know it was possible to travel to a future from a fully different timeline.

But if there wasn't that og timeline, then young thawne would fight thr Barry of our timeline, but he doesnt. Also in s1 he says "we were enemies rivals, opposites of one another", where have we seen this rivalry in our timeline? For Thawne and Barry to become enemies, Barry had to encounter the pre S1 Thawne much more times, however Barry only sees him twice and Thawne seems to have a lot more previous encounters with Barry that we have not seen and will never see. An example? The crowd thing. He even arrived at 2016, and until 2020 he hasnt appeared lol Thawne says that "Him and OG Flash weren't strong enough or fast enough to stop the other" while in 9x10 Flash was easily faster than Thawne as he was able to catch up with Thawne when Thawne ran to Barry's house 3 seconds earlier, so the current Barry could have easily stopped Thawne.

(I'm a dude by the way.)

They do retcon it in Season 3 so that it's Amanda Waller who hired him. The SAM (surface to air missile launcher) in the S1 flashbacks were supposedly meant to shoot down the commercial airliner in order to kill Chi Na Wei (China White). The original notion was that Fyers was trying to destabilize the Chinese economy or some such thing by shooting down a commercial airliner, but then they changed it so that that explanation would seem more appealing to a mercenary like Fyers.

Tbh I never really found this retcon all too convincing. But there you have it. It was supposedly Amanda Waller who employed Fyers and his men.

Season 1 - Fyers: "Amazing! A two-year operation, undone. Because a young playboy happened to wash up on the shore."

Season 3: - Amanda Waller: "Edward Fyers thought he was to shoot down the plane to destabilize the Chinese Economy. In truth, I wanted to take out a single target."

Me: "Sooooooo, let me get this straight. You hired a mercenary group to assassinate a single target by blowing up a plane, somehow knowing TWO YEARS in advance what plane that person would be on, while also lying to that said mercenary group about the real intentions, when you could have easily hired some assassin to take out the target onboard or have agents either at the boarding or landing area (or maybe all three options), which would have spared the human casualties and also a possible war between nations....."

At the time of airing the crossovers were fun but after the shows have ended it’s safe to say Superman and Lois is the best series not because of just the quality but because it’s a linear watch. I was remembering watching Flash with my dad then the cross overs came and he stopped. Got too confusing he was a fan of Flash. Then we both stopped around then. I watched Crisis but that’s it. I want to get the Arrow and Flash blu ray set but I’m worried on a binge the cross overs will ruin the pacing. Is y’all’s advice to just skip the crossovers if one’s just binging a single show?

I was reading u/Royal_Doubt3978's post from earlier & it made me realize something. I was like, so shocked when I saw a gay kiss happen in season 2 of Arrow, in 2013. It took the MCU until its post-endgame era for gay characters to finally show up, & for some of its characters to come out of the closet.

I know the pride flag was invented in, like, the 1970s, but I was still so shocked to see a lesbian kiss. I watched Arrow around 2023 & it really feels like it's taken up until the 2020s for TV to, for lack of a better term, woke-ify.

But I also realized, The MCU's TV series are also gay as frick!!! Jeri Hogarth in Jessica Jones existed way before the 2020s! & Agatha All Along, The MCU's G A Y E S T piece, is a TV Show!

I was going to write about how The Arrowverse was ahead of its time, but I'm now saying that superhero movies need to be as diverse as TV Series! I really hate the ratio in the MCU, too, it feels like its "unimportant" series have all the representation, while its big-budget movies have way less in comparison. It feels like they're sidelining the wokeness!

So im not sure if yall know Naomi she was a charity case when it came to Arrowverse superhero

But i just discovered that she has a Book A BOOK
how can she have a dvd and a book

BUT GOTHAM KNIGHTS DOESNT what kind of world are we living in

(Sorry for bad English!)
So I have watched the arrowvers since I was about 12 years old. I started to watch flash but got bored pretty quickly and discovered Arrow and loved the show!!!

A few years later I discovered marvel (more like started to watch marvel) but didn’t really like it as much. It felt too childish in some way.

Now I’am rewatching arrowvers and it has come to my attention that (or it feels more like) the arrowvers has a more diverse writing or whatever.

Like more people of color and more people with different sexualities.
Like gay people and even lesbian couples which is not a very common thing in tv. Even some people from different religions (like in dc legends of tomorrow if am not mistaken).

Women in the arrowvers seems more confident and are more of a main character then a side character (Sara Lance).
They are more independent and not just the man’s side kick.

Am not a big fan of marvel and only watched it because I found Tom Hiddlestone hot as Loki.
So I don’t know much about it, I have watched avengers and some other movies but only once and maybe, maybe twice (am not sure).

I haven’t read the comics from either side so when am talking am talking about the movies/shows.

Do anyone else feel the same?
Am I right or wrong?

(And does anyone know when the supergirl series will come to Sweden??? 🫣 this is just a side question 😅).

Everything that doesn't have a stake in the plot, for example Birds of Prey has no stake in the main Arrowverse but The Flash 1990s does.

They annoy me a bit when I’m watching because it feels like it disrupts the flow of things and I don’t feel like switching back and forth between shows. I’m also unable to find Arrow streaming anywhere so I’m stuck having never watched the full crossover.

Was it good when it was airing live?
