Watch Barry's actions ultimately amount to nothing beyond Flash's first episode because fucking with the status quo & continuity of multiple TV shows for the sake of one TV show is asinine for casuals. [lol]

Flashpoint verse is a Crapsack World though, so is that really a bad thing?

It's more that cosmic retcons like that exist within comic books only for a reason. Everything with Flash will be self-contained to Flash because the other shows have their own stories going on. They are their own works and the likelihood of Flash actually rebooting stuff all over like it did in the comics is slim at best.

Plus comics only do that to avoid Continuity Lockout and so on. There is a lot in comic book tropes that are, quite frankly, stupid and that's part of the reason why adaptions work better. They can (theoretically) compress and distill to the best qualities.

A time-based turn of phrase. Never would have expected that.

Yeah he is my one downside to this. Darhk is entertaining and the only good thing about season 4 of Arrow. Reverse-Flash looks great on Flash and should be good here. And Cold will mindfuck the team

Not to tape down the Malcolm-hate boner, but that's pretty much the Legion of Sues. Snart gets away with shit on a comical basis, Darhk was cartoonishly evil and survived solely through Oliver's inability to use explosive arrows/kick him while he was down, Reverse Flash broke the time travel rules on his own show.

I didn't expect this. The concept sounds interesting. What would make these four team up, Malcolm and Darhk especially?

And Snart is on this team, on Legends of Tomorrow? So is Team Waverider facing off against him?

Well, that and Oliver stupidly putting the idol back together for no reason.

That, too.

How is this going to work? Three of these people are supposed to be dead, one was obliterated from the timeline. Snart has an out cause Flash...

...well damn, nevermind.

Well, I mean, Darhk's just going to have his idol back? He could demolish Rip's team single-handedly if he still has his Sith membership card. How does Malcolm get wrapped up in a time travel adventure? And Snart teaming up with Darhk and Thawne?
