![]() ![]() He doesn't look much like Christopher Reeve (the gold standard of Superman actors) but he definitely embodies his spirit, and obviously understands the character more than any other recent actor. That's too bad, as I really like Tyler Hoechlin as Superman. Heck, at the end of the episode he even flat out says, "The world doesn't need Superman if it has Supergirl." Subtle! At every possible opportunity Superman states that Supergirl's stronger than he is (even though the episode blatantly contradicts that). What a disappointment, and what a waste of a character.ĭo the writers of Supergirl have a problem with Superman? I'm not a regular viewer of the show, but even I picked up on the fact that there's an obvious and undeniable bias against him in this episode. He appeared for all of thirty seconds in Part 1, had a couple of brief scenes in Part 2 and that's it! His total screen time amounted to about three minutes, if that.Īfter all hype on The CW's part, I was expecting him to be a major player in the crossover event. I was extremely disappointed that John Wesley Shipp's Flash-90 didn't show up in this episode. Seriously, the whole "Slow Down The Earth's Rotation to Stop Time" subplot would make Ed Wood blush and look away in shame. This episode also features one of the silliest and most ridiculous examples of Comic Book Science I've ever seen. For example, if The Monitor's trying to test our world, why does he keep giving the Book Of Destiny to Deegan, a man who's clearly unstable and insane? Why does Deegan seem to have a vendetta against Barry and Oliver, and keep screwing with their lives? And no matter how much Deegan alters reality, why are Kara, Barry and Oliver the only ones who're ever aware of the changes? It also raises questions it never bothers to answer. And it's never quite clear just what the characters are trying to accomplish. The plot is vague and muddled, as things seem to happen for no reason other than because the script said so. This episode is complete and utter nonsense from start to finish. This week on Supergirl, we get the conclusion of the annual Crossover Event that began in Elseworlds, Part 1 over on The Flash and continued in Elseworlds, Part 2 on Arrow.Īs with most of these Arrowverse crossovers, Elseworlds started out strong in Part 1, started sputtering in Part 2 and barely managed to coast to the finish line in this final installment.
