r/Arrowverse

So I stopped the arrowverse around 2.5 years ago after finishing year 7 to go watch smallville before returning to year 8 and watch crisis. But since its been so long my memory is extremely foggy, got any recommendations on what I shud rewatch before watching the premieres for all 6 shows in year 8?

Conner Kent Better.

Beating a VERY dead horse but Jordan Kent kinda sucks revaluating the series. Like, he's so boring or annoying. Straight up either or.

I appreciate his character arc in season 1 but it feels like he kinda peaks after that. But after that point, dear GOD. Season 2 and season 3 honestly don't do much for him in terms of development: Like ok, he learns to control his abilities better. Learns to fly, saves superman, that's great but he doesn't change. His maturity gets stagnated by the entire sarah mess and that literally becomes 85% of his character. He is literally 007: 0 battles won, 0 rememberable good moments, 7 times he tries to get back the girl that cheated on him like a MONTH into their relationship (no idc if she's a teenager). Then there's the entire Samaritan thing and I MIGHT be reaching but Clark is kinda not doing a good job consoling Jordan's feelings of attention. Like, I get the show did a "eh-ish" job representing Jordan's mental issues, but I really think if the arc presented this as Jordan needing validation, then him lashing out feels more realistic than just teen stupidly. Speaking of stupidity, the entire Jordan heart thing. Jordan didn't think of a plan, didn't ask for help, NOTHING. He gambled everything on himself and failed. Can you imagine of jonathan's blow up still occurs but no powers or sam lane's heart isn't compatable to superman's? all of that being indirectly technically jordan's fault? There is NEVER a moment of anyone confronting jordan POST the superman revival about his decision. then he does nothing for season 4 except get beat up by superman and lex luthor. No I am not saying he suddenly needs to fight doomsday but c'mon man. I think the most frustrating part of his character is that it comes at the expense of jonathan. Jordan literally could be replaced by jonathan and barely anything changes but nope, jonathan needs to get his nuts dragged through the mud for three seasons. That's my reasoning for being so pissed. Jordan feels boring and at first, him disliking superman could have been interesting but he just becomes a fanboy. IDK, I get the series is over but just a bit peeved man.

So I was one of those people who gave up watching the verse in 2017 2018 so I missed crisis infinite earth crossover about to start watching it but I’m curious what everyone’s original thoughts Work when at first aired what were the theories of the time and initial reactions?

I remember as a kid watching the arrow and thinking “oh this is kind of weird all the stuff that ray palmer is doing with felicity but it’s their kind of love”

as an adult. i cannot get behind that logic. ray palmer is a perverted stalker

hacking into a girls private life, finding her place of living and sending her flowers and a ton of other stuff consistently, showing up to her house? buying companies spending hundreds of millions of dollars to force a girl to work for you? continue doing all of this after she told you to stop for weeks? giving her a WAY to much of a high ranking position just to try and sleep with her? taking her out to dinners she has no business being at? and just in general a really creepy stalkerish attitude and being a guy who wants control over litterally everything.

mind you this is essentially a random girl he saw at a radio shack. AFTER DIGGING INTO HER OLD WORK PLACE AND DOING EXTRA RESEARCH INTO HER FOR HONESTLY NO FUCKING REASON

just cause he’s a pacifist doesn’t mean he’s not a joe goldberg 💀 😭 ✌️

I don’t know how i justified all that weird shit as a kid. guys a pervert with a bank account and should be locked up IMMEDIATELY

thank god the writers chilled the fuck out with him and made him a normal human being eventually.

like shit genuinely reminds me of s2 of “You”

This playlist I recently compiled in honour of my favourite fan-couple in the history of the DC Universe (Second only to the WonderBat). Kinda a waisted opportunity Post-Crisis on Earth-X to actually have this be the mainstream.
