Asdru Review: "Crisis on Earth-X" (1/5)
This year’s crossover between Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash and Legends Of Tomorrow was called "Crisis On Earth-X". The 1st hour started things by showing the nazis, incredible fighting scenes, funny moments and a really good start to this televised event.
The most entertaining wedding of the year
The group of heroes from the Arrowverse got together to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of Barry Allen/The Flash (Grant Gustin) and Iris West (Candince Patton), but we also got unexpected and impressive couple moments. The Sara Lance (Caity Lotz)-Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) hookup was awesome, but I have to give credit to Mick Rory/Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell) and his move on Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) which was hilarious.
“I hate Nazis”
Whats is going to stay on people’s minds in the 1st hour was the invasion of the inhabitants of Earth-X and the faceoff at the church. Overgirl vs Kara Danvers/Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) was well executed, as well as Dark Arrow vs Oliver Queen/Green Arrow (Stephen Amell). But I have to give a special mention to Sara and Alex’s (Salex?) fight against Prometheus, from the start by them ripping their dresses to move better and straight up being hardcore.
Romance in the air
This shows don’t escape the drama, and we got plenty of it, starting with the Firestorm squabble (with a Spider-Man reference, which was amazing) to the Olicity fight, which was an “Oh crap” moment. It helped things slow down a bit, and provided exposition... Maybe a bit much, but because it was so well done, then it didn't bother a lot.
Foundation work
This hour served to build the ground work for the rest of the crossover, but I’m tired of seeing Reverse Flash AGAIN and the reason behind the Nazis plan was inexistent. But the day is still young and 3 hours are left to be analyzed.
Bonus Round:
-The MVP award is for Mick Rory so far.
-The WTF Moment were the “skills” in the spider serum made by Martin Stein.
-I love a new moment to listen to Melissa Benoist’s voice.
-Caitlin was so aware of the costume change that it’s crazy.
Score >>4/5. Comment and wait for more of this DC Comics special.
