Does anyone else think that the Crossovers have serious issues with how they're set up? Like, I was just watching Flash Season 4, and suddenly Supergirl's been taken captive, there's nazis everywhere, and worst of all: the wedding already happened! Not only that, but the good/evil supergirls take up most of the episode when it comes to character development, as do other Supergirl supporting characters, along with an ending cliffhanger for Firestorm, a Legends character.

Shouldn't the crossover part on The Flash have been focused on.....well, THE FLASH?. Surely the crossover part with the wedding should've been on The Flash's series, and the part that was on The Flash being a Supergirl episode. I understand crossovers, and having other characters be around, but missing out on such a big part of their characters, the damn wedding which had been built up for a good while beforehand, it just feels like a cheap and insulting way to force you to watch the other shows.

Episode 1: 15 year-old Oliver Queen, born into a wealthy family, is excited to begin high school with his best friends Laurel Lance and Tommy Merlyn. Oliver is already popular due to his confidence and good looks. Tommy is a well-established ‘’bad boy’’, while Laurel is hardworking and mature. Oliver and Tommy try out for the soccer team, but on Tuesday, Oliver is kidnapped by Constantine Drakon, his father’s own head of security. Drakon’s men hold him hostage aboard a cargo freighter. But on Wednesday evening, a mysterious female archer rescues Oliver, drugs him, and brings him to a safehouse.

Episode 2: The female archer reveals herself as Shado, who has been targeting criminals. Shado tells Oliver that he can’t trust anyone anymore, then returns him to the Queen family estate. Oliver is the subject of attention at school after word gets out that he was held hostage. Following the kidnapping, Drakon has disappeared. Oliver is worried about what Shado said. On Friday, Oliver, Tommy, and Laurel go to a party. Laurel, who has a crush on Oliver, feels insecure when she sees Oliver flirting with other girls at the party. When the police show up at the party, Tommy is arrested for possessing a designer drug known as Vertigo. Oliver is chastised by his parents for getting drunk at the party.

Episode 3: Tommy is sentenced to 24 hours of community service for possessing Vertigo. Determined to track down Shado, Oliver heads to the Glades, a crime infested area of Star City. He attempts to buy Vertigo, but the drug dealers assault Oliver and attempt to mug him before they are defeated by Shado. Oliver asks Shado about why he can’t trust anyone. Shado explains that Drakon was going to use the ransom money to finance drug trafficking on behalf of Quadrant, an international crime cartel. Shado tells Oliver that Queen Consolidated, his father’s company, is heavily involved in corruption in Star City. After witnessing how much the people in the Glades are suffering, Oliver requests to be trained in martial arts and archery by Shado. Shado reluctantly agrees.

Episode 4: During his training, Oliver learns quickly due to having prior experience with martial arts and archery. Meanwhile, Oliver and Laurel are paired together for a social studies assignment. Oliver’s parents get him a new bodyguard, John Diggle, which forces Oliver to sneak out at night to train with Shado. Former Queen Consolidated scientist Jason Cross lost his legs during a botched weapons test. Wanting revenge against his former employers, Cross(rechristening himself as Komodo) turns himself into a humanoid komodo dragon and attacks the Queen Consolidated building. Oliver puts on a makeshift hooded outfit and saves his father with the help of Shado.

Episode 5: Shado gives Oliver a green vigilante outfit with light armor and a hood. FBI Agent Quentin Lance, Laurel’s father, is seriously injured by the robotic assassin Hardwire. Agent Lance was close to finding Doctor Ivo, a high-tech weapons dealer with ties to Intergang. When Ivo sends Hardwire to kidnap Laurel, Oliver suits up in his ‘’Green Arrow’’ outfit and rescues Laurel, defeating Hardwire using explosive arrows.

[Episodes 1-2 spoilers] No spoiler TL;DR at the bottom

Not sure if this is the right sub, so sorry in advance. I'm three episodes into Black Lightning. The writing was great. The scenes were great. But there was one fatal error that made it unwatchable for me; the shitty soundtrack. The music itself is great, but in a TV show, just being good isn't enough. It has to reinforce the mood the scene is trying to capture. And BL's soundtrack does that so horribly a 5 year old could have done it better. When the bearded white guy (I forgot his name) was killing Lala, there was the most chill-ass jazz music playing, and that scene was happening at the same time Pierce was getting reunited with his ex, so it was cutting back and forth between two scenes with polar opposite moods, and the soundtrack was favoring one over the other. At the woman's funeral in the beginning episode 3, there was some happy choir music, definitely not for a funeral. When Jeff's daughter (the amount of names I'm forgetting is really a testament to how forgettable the show is) was in the alleyway at night recording something in the next scene, that would have been a great time for some tension-causing music, or maybe no music at all, depending on what she said in the recording. But instead, the same happy music from the funeral plays. And those are all the examples I can give because that's as far as I've gotten.

TL;DR: Relatable characters and exciting story is shot to pieces by god-awful music.

The arrowverse needs rebooting. The storylines are often repetitive and characters seem to be at the end of their development. The timeline is F***ed and the multiverse adds a whole new level of confusion. Arrow ending was probably the best thing to happen in a while. And don't get me started on the failure that is Crisis on infinite earths...

Gotham is a prime example of how DC tv shows should be, no cap.

Has the CW shifted to intern writers?

I’ve only watched flash and supergirl lately. Their stories are decent (could be so much better), but why do they cry so damn much? I mean this girl is almost indestructible to anything and that man can run faster than light LIGHTTTTT. It’s totally okay to have maybe 2 or max 3 crying scenes in a season but having multiple per episode makes them look like a little bitch ass daffodils. And takes away from the story where it’s acceptable for them to cry.
