Crossover
So the 4way-crossover is over. I just had a 3 hour marathon with my boyfriend over it and well. It was better than I thought. The Ray, Mick, Leo all awesome. But like the last time sometimes characters acted a bit out of character because they don’t have their normal writers and some (the Legends mainly) were for some reason 90% not even there. (Honestly Ray knows Team Flash far better than Sara and there had to be more cops there than just Signs and Mick came anyways so why not the rest of the Legends. They are the least busy people of all time- literally!
But yeah-Nazis. As someone from Germany you learn everything over and over again about that time in school. Just for the: they fucked up - we teach you how so you don’t do the same shit.
But honestly Nazis in American TV are so far off the truth about most of it. Like the concentration camp was practically the only thing that was remotly accurate. The school system Tommy talked about very wrong, everybody talking english? - as if Hitler would have won they would be speaking english.
I just think if you are so lazy to make the bad guys the Nazis do it with some historical accuracy and don’t just throw a bunch of bad things together with a Hakenkreuz.
Because it would have been far better to show that they are evil by them doing evil things like in the end when they showed them killing civilians. That is by far better than just throwing in a Hakenkreuz and that is enough to make it evil. In Hinduism it is actually a very good sign and in Germany they get cencored because it is forbidden to even use them in anything that isn’t hostorically accurate and when it is necessairy (eg. textbooks, documentions).
But apart from that it was far better than the last crossover. It made more sense why they were all (apart from like half of them) there.
Mick was amazing and finally someone is looking at his drinking problem. Leo is wonderful, even though I still think the Flash needs Captain Cold back for the Rouges. And his boyfriend and him are adorbale, still don’t know why he went back to another earth that isn’t his of why he even was on earth x in the first place. But they were so adorable and lovely and wonderful and had a better realtionship than some people have in a season.
I still do not think Stein’s death was necessairy. Honestly he should have had a happy ending. And if Jax doesn’t have problems now it would be very wrong, but I guess we’ll have to see what happens there. The scenes with his death and the funeral were very well made though.
But technically breaking it down to good and bad:
BAD:
-useg of Nazis in a boring, historically bad researched way, while wanting to keep the rating down (if you want Nazis you’ll have to deal with an R-Rating if you want to keep it accurate). -Legends only showing up in the last Episode -Iris and Barrys wedding guest consisting of a lot of people never seen before, never seen again and a lot of people just missing. -Barry forgetting he can breach on his own completly. He could have just breached them all back. -evil Oliver not loosing his arm after it being completly frozen over -Why did The Ray leave and Leo stay? -they are never going to bring back Leonard Snart- are they? -BARRY SUDDENTLY NOT BEING ABLE TO BREACH. HE STARTED DOING THAT IN SEASON 2!!!
GOOD:
-Mick, Leo, The Ray, Ray, the few Wally scenes -the fact that Thawne used Wells face to annoy Barry -the acting of Mellissa Benoist -Mick on the bride’s side -Wentworth Miller -Mick falling asleep next to Signs -Barry vs Thawne -Mick seeing Killer Frost -Steins death scene -Mick missing going to a fight and Caitlin bringing him mustard -Killerfrost scenes. especically the one with the ice lance -Mick and Sara -did you hit that? -Alex and Sara hooking up -Mick being a firefighter on earth x, and his whole scene with Leo -Leo flirting with everyone -Eobard in th wheelchair
So all in all the little scenes made up for Stein’s unecessairy death and the inaccurate and boring use of Nazis.
AND I SO HOPE THAT WAS DAWNE ALLEN!
