"In the beginning, there was only one, a single black infinitude. Then the infinitude found release, and finally, the darkness broke, filling it with life...with the Multiverse. Every existence multiplied by possibility and spread out before space and time in infinite measure. Civilizations rose and fell...and rose again to cross realities grasping expanse. Life, a precious gift persevering in the face of every obstacle...until, finally, the Age of Heroes was born."
-- Oliver Queen, Legends of Tomorrow: "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 5"
Hello again, everyone! My co-host Jesse Jackson and I are back with the 175th episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we're joined by DJ Nik from The Whiskey & Cigarettes Show and the Happiness in Darkness podcast to discuss the last two parts of "Crisis on Infinite Earths", the sixth annual Arrowverse crossover event, based on the classic 1985-86 DC Comics maxi-series and featured in episodes of Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow!
In this episode, Jesse, Nik and I talk about things like the final two parts suffering from a month-log gap, the staff writers writing their respective episodes, Crisis on Infinite Earths writer Marv Wolfman writing a chapter of the CW crossover, speculating why George Perez wasn't included, Jesse not being impressed by Oliver's second death, the Monitor taking the place of Krona as the Anti-Monitor's creator, why we didn't need to see the Monitor's origin, Oliver becoming the new Spectre, "Crisis" borrowing a little from Avengers: Endgame, Grant Gustin's Arrowverse Flash meeting Ezra Miller's DC Extended Universe Flash, Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor, the quick battle between the Spectre and the Anti-Monitor, the power of positive thoughts, Marc Guggenheim not being a good Arrow writer historically, Diggle not being happy that Oliver died without him being there, the Flashes admiring the other's suit, Lex Luthor being revamped as John Byrne's Lex Luthor, the awkward moment when Marv Wolfman met The Flash and Supergirl after killing them off in Crisis, Heat Wave doing a book signing as romance novelist Rebecca Silver, Ryan Choi finally stepping up, wanting HBO to do a Crisis on Infinite Earths series like they did Watchmen, Oliver getting public redemption by the President, the new Berlantiverse multiverse, Oliver getting a memorial shrine and chair, Barry forming an unnamed Arrowverse Justice League, the Super Friends Hall of Justice homage, the horrible Gleek ending, our favorite quotes of each episode, and more!
