I think they will be

I wonder if the Arrow kids from the future will be in the Crisis.

I think both William and Mia will play a small role in the Crisis.

 

[vantheman77]

It makes sense as the Crisis is on a large scale that also affects time as well. The future Arrow kids have to be involved.

I'll simply quote myself to save rewriting everything...

We know, or can at least presume that the Crisis event intends to collapse and/or destroy the multiverse, thus erasing all know (and unknown Earths) in existence. We also know that somehow, that wont happen. Our heroes will fight, some will die, and a sacrifice will be made, though we only think we know what that sacrifice actually is - in that we're expecting a Kryptonian, and Oliver Queen of Earth 1 to die.

We also know that at some point during the final season of Green Arrow, Earth-1 Oliver Queen will spend some time on Earth-2, posing as Earth-2's Oliver Queen (who, on Earth 2, was thought to have died on the queens gambit).

Whilst I'm sure that some Earth's will fall to the Crisis event, I'm wondering, based on the above paragraph and on what we know of Arrow's final season, that come the conclusion of Crisis, some of the multiverse will have survived, but it wont be possible to travel between them like our heroes currently can; it'll only be larger than life characters like the Monitor who'll have that power.

I therefore would conclude that come the conclusion of Crisis, Earth-1 Oliver Queen wont have died, but will have sacrificed his fatherhood to be permanently placed on Earth-2 (this being where the Monitor takes Felicity at the end of Arrow's latest season).


Ultimately, come the conclusion of Crisis, I think they'll be 52 Earth's, some of which may be transferable, but either they'll be more that wont be accessible (one of which Earth-1 Oliver Queen ends up on) of none of them will be transferable.

I love this idea. Not least because it means he really gets a happy ending, on a world where he may still have his mother and even sister. I hate that he has to leave his kids but I'd bet he'll see them as adults somehow, for closure.

Give us Superman!!!

I imagine the show will be Birds Of Prey, or something similar to that. Perhaps the show will be similar to the Birds Of Prey comics in many aspects, but they will use a different name. Back in 2016 may have been a more opportune moment for such a show to have been created, as I recall that there was plenty of demand for a show with Katie as Black Canary in it back then, during the fallout from Laurel's death on Arrow.

 

[vantheman77]

Glad they're doing something with Dinah Laurel, Dinah Lance,and Mia Smoak from the future. It's not Birds of Prey due to the movie. Hopefully there will be no flashbacks in this possible series.

I could see them calling it "Canaries."

The new trailer really has me hyped. They seem determined to go out on a high note, and while I do not want this show to end, if they give me a nostalgia-fest for a final season and also make it genuinely good, I'll eat it up. That seems like what we're getting, so color me excited.

I was not expecting this and I hope it happens!

 

[Jedi Arrow]

Okay, I'm concerned about something. Arrow and Flash's Facebook pages are saying "stream free next day only." They used to be available five episodes at a time, and this is always how I've watched these shows. Does this mean that if I miss a day (i.e., if I'm busy October 16 and can't stream Arrow that day), that I'll miss out and won't be able to watch it at all? This seems like an unnecessary change to their service that I'm very unhappy about. Or are their social medias just phrasing this badly? It seems very deliberate phrasing to me.

I doubt it. They will likely keep the same format they had in the past. Especially since their Netflix deal is dead, Hulu deal is dead, HBO Max wont have it for a while....CW aint gonna kill their streaming.

I hate that the Netflix deal is dead. Means I have to invest in getting all these shows on Blu-ray now.

Is this worth looking back into? I stopped after the s5 finale.

But, getting Smallville and BTAS actors in for Crisis makes me sort of want to catch up... but.

 

[flickchick85]

Nah. You probably don't need to catch up to be able to follow Crisis. It'll be 90% fan-service, 10% plot. The crossovers are generally designed to work even for people who don't watch all the shows. If you just watch the previous crossover, Elseworlds, which directly sets up Crisis, that should be all you need. S6 of this was a huge step down from S5, and after the opening few eps, S7 became a downright torturous slog. You've already seen the best this show had to offer thus far.

It's getting real. This is not okay.

 

[antsman41]

Well, we got a puppy this past week so my weekend has been mostly catching up.

S06 was actually pretty good, a little long on the tooth (crossover should have been 2 episodes too) on some of the Team Arrow drama... but the build up of Diaz and the fallout of that whole plot was really good.

I just started S07 this morning.

I’m only watching cross over episodes pertaining to the other shows... don’t have it in me to continue main Flash after I dipped out on the end of S03.

At this point, I re-tank them;

S02
(perfect)
S01
(strong, was figuring out kinks)
S06
(felt old-school/took risks)
S03
(first half great, second half meh)
S05
(needs to be tighter, little too redundant back half)
S04
(started highlighting its failures over action/character strengths, worst main-overall villain yet)

Largest weakness I’ve noticed since rewatching with S06... I miss those early days when every 3-5 episodes had a new set piece that up’d their action. It’s all became the same-old same-old due to always having 3-6 people fighting a band of villains.

It’s still decent fighting action... but it’s missing that extra flair/ingenuity like sliding down steps and shooting an arrow or using a pulley system to catch a guy the good old days had.
