crisis on infinite earths film is very sad

[@Crazy_Gamer_OG]

The fact that Constantine & Flash reset their universe only to end up endangering the entire multiverse afterwards is such a good but tragic twist.

[@Grizabeebles]

In my opinion, the last horizon in superhero stories are the ones where the heroes truly are good people, but the good of the many relies on those good people to *lose*. The fundamental nature of Jack Kirby's Fourth World characters basically demands it - for Darkseid to be weak enough to kill, the universe as a whole has to be in a very bad way. And if there is no Apokalips, won't New Genesis be the one waging an endless totalitarian war? Is that even a victory at all?

[@alexsolomon8127]

@@Grizabeebles well, being GOOD, the idea is they'd stop fighting. buuuuut...comics being what they are, New Genesis has always had clay feet.

[@Grizabeebles]

@@alexsolomon8127 -- I'm mostly thinking of universes like "Justice League: Gods and Monsters" and "Justice League Dark: Apokolpis War". Even the DCAU only had Superman defeat Darkseid *after* Superman destroyed his trust with the people of earth. And Darkseid came back stronger than ever in that universe when the League became a sector-wide force for good in Darkseid's abscence. It's like the man said. "Darkseid is."

The way this movie broke me. The Flash has always been my favorite superhero, I enjoy to see how strong he really is and how much more important Barry Allen is to world of DC but it always shows how much sacrifice he has to make and how sad his life really is. I am happy he got to get old with Iris. I cried so much.

[@slickchick5811]

whatever happened to the speedforce keeping him young?

[@theillusionaryone]

​@@slickchick5811 the speedforce only makes him age slower, but seeing as he was sharing the speedforce with iris, he was draining the speed force from hinself constantly, and doing this for long enough to have made 60-70 years worth of time happen in a few seconds, so the speedforce in his body likely couldnt help him age slowly as he was putting everything he had into this

[@matthewpelletier6900]

Most of the Tomorrowverse passed by without me even realizing it. I saw Superman: Man of Tomorrow, I heard about Justice Society: World War II and Batman: The Long Halloween, but t never even realized the others existed until I heard about Crisis Part 2. I think I found out about that because it will feature Terry McGinnis' Batman in some capacity, and the algorithm knows how much I love Batman Beyond. Watching this and hearing that the whole thing was planned from the start really makes me want to go out and watch them all so I can be properly ready for Crisis 2 and 3 later this year. Great video as always, see you next time.

He'll be an alternate dimension, I'm sure. Except for the skinny suit he wore, I liked his character. When he found out Wayne had him cloned and conditioned like that, it was interesting.

While I still think we could’ve used another movie or two to flesh out this universe before a big finale, I do like that the heroes are spread across a whole multiverse.

This genre is at its best when it uses the heroes to portray the best in us, and inspire -- but it also requires deft writing and a sense of consequence to keep it from feeling flat or puerile, but in doing so they have to balance it with not losing the central premise. As a result, a lot of stories have fallen flat over the years, but every now and again they strike gold.

[@junglejota2]

What is great of the animated dc movies is that they are linked, but only slightly. And you can enjoy each on its own. But if you see all, you get kind of get it. But, it is not all explained, you have to tie it together.

[@TheCommunicationCoach]

@@kamen_mann TY. I just want them to label things accurately and honestly. I've seen the Supergirl/Brainiac romance done much better in simple episodes of the series, and that was enough. I don't mind either of them, but when I buy a LEGION of SH movie, I expect it to be about that primarily, not some new attempt to bring some silly romance into it constantly; it should be named Supergirl and Braniac with the Legion or something then. DC already ticks me off as I have most movies which don't even have chapter selections, which makes watching them and finding different parts to rewatch become tiring and irritating. DC just is so cheap, and I'm tired of it.

Thanks for covering this so soon! Might be my favorite version of Amazo so far. The most tragic thing to me has to be the Flash living his life all over the place, one minute he is fighting beside gods and the next he’s an elderly man tenderly holding his beloved Iris.

i super appreciate your takes on these animated comics' content. i realized how similarly marvel's end game and crisis on infinite earths in the cw arrowverse left me devasted. of course, contracts end and actors age out of roles. but the mass endings with the "snaps" gutted me. that was when i started liking dc content more than marvel, because dc remembered the multiverse and that in that context, no one ever really dies. i felt end game like an injury, it felt like no redemption. anyway, who does marvel think hasn't seen peter parker's story's beginning retold a-gain with the hottest young actor? it's like they aren't even trying. dc, on the other hand, left me with hope. it's not like dc's live action detached me from my favorites so abruptly as marvel, and they came back. yes, i know THIS is not about live action, but this vid about an animated version of this sad story, idk, dc leaves me feeling better after a beating ❤
