But these mopey, overwrought conversations are always a slog to sit through in a regular episode, so they were especially egregious here. Yes, yes, I get that you can't have constant action and these scenes were inserted to give the episode some emotional weight. The episode was also bogged down by a poop-ton of interpersonal drama between the various Arrowverse heroes- in the middle of a battle for the planet, yet.
Now that would have been an awesome reveal! Superman! Or, I guess in this case, Overman. Wouldn't an all powerful and invulnerable alien make a much more formidable (and believable) leader?Įven better, why not have the Fuhrer be a huge surprise for the audience? Someone completely unexpected, yet logical. The fact that the Earth-X Oliver Queen is somehow the Fuhrer of his entire world seems a bit suspect too- especially when Overgirl's standing right beside him. Instead of planetary conquest, their only concern seems to be ripping Supergirl's heart out of her chest to use in a transplant. Instead of vast armies of alt-world Nazis goose-stepping through the multiverse, we get a measly three generals and a couple of squads of soldiers.Įven their objective seems to have shrunk in this episode. Unfortunately, Part 2 scales down that initial plan almost exponentially. That's a damned fun and ambitious premise. The main problem is that while Part 1 gave us a world in which the Nazis, having conquered their own planet, decide to branch out into the multiverse and rule the other fifty two Earths.
Unfortunately Part 2 doesn't quite live up to the standards of its predecessor. I very much enjoyed Part 1 of the crossover in Supergirl, as seeing the entire Arrowverse united onscreen was frankly more fun and enjoyable than the new Justice League movie. It's Part 2 of the epic Crisis On Earth-X crossover event!
