His alter ego Barry Allen was a brilliant but socially awkward crime scene investigator for the Central City Police Department. The Flash can travel at 'super speed', violating the laws of physics as he runs faster than a speeding bullet. The occupants of this DC Comics branded shared universe include Green Arrow played by Stephen Amell, Vixen (Megalyn Echikunwoke), Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), the superhero collective the Legends Of Tomorrow and, of course, Barry Allen aka The Flash played by Grant Gustin. A vibrant, fun and action-packed entry into the DC ComicsвЂ™ Arrowverse, The Flash, along with The Arrow, speared a new wave of super-sized entertainment on the gogglebox. Considering how good sheвЂ™s been in the past, this was definitely disappointing to view.While Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman have been flying the cinematic flag for DC Comics on the silver screen, The Flash has been leading the charge on the home entertainment front. She doesnвЂ™t embody the immoral nature of Jinn well at all, nor does she convey the intense regret Genn feels. I wonвЂ™t say hard, because itвЂ™s not like her performance (or the others for that matter) were atrocious in any way, but she was very lackluster. The same canвЂ™t be said for Black LightningвЂ™s people, which is a shame as these guys and gals have proven to be Thespians in past episodes.Д«ecause Jennifer is the center of attention here, China Anne McClain in particular drops the ball. Say what you want about The Flash, but whenever the actors have had to drop into a different take they give it their all (mostly anyway!), probably because most of them come from a theater background. Horrible events happen on the two other Earths, but theyвЂ™re presented more as action beats than strong drama.ДЄ big part of the failure also unfortunately rests on the cast- they just donвЂ™t performances that encapsulate the otherworldly personas these other versions of themselves present.

We get a lot of blatant exposition without the structure necessary to make it feel authentic or at least attention-grabbing. ItвЂ™s not a bad concept, but as you can imagine itвЂ™s hard to set-up the depth and harsh reality the two other JenniferвЂ™s worlds entail in the frame of a single episode. But there were other solutions, like maybe have the Crisis take place over the course of two episodes or Jennifer undergo power surges beforehand in preparation for the crimson cosmic storm. I get that the writing team didnвЂ™t have much to work with- itвЂ™s not like you couldвЂ™ve done several exposition narratives beforehand dealing with a character or multiple characters exploring the outer worlds (or maybe you could have considering the nonsensical plotlines weвЂ™ve been forced to sit through these past two seasons).

And combined with the other ludicrous fictitious elements that the series has introduced without fleshing out (metagenes, rejuvenation, magic, etcвЂ¦) and you have a storyline thatвЂ™s inherently muddy.

Why is the sky suddenly red and flashing with bright lightning? I donвЂ™t know, and neither does the cast, which theoretically makes for a fresh viewing.ДЄlas, problems still arise as the episode does directly deal with the concept of multiple dimensions, an idea thatвЂ™s been well-established in The Flash but not even touched upon in Black Lightning. While there was always a lot of speculation in the past regarding whether or not Black Lightning took place in the mainstream вЂњEarth-1вЂќ Arrowverse, the Crisis event has officially confirmed that it is in its own plane of existence.ДЄs a result, the writers made the wise decision to have all the characters unaware as to whatвЂ™s going on, perhaps as a way of not alienating viewers who, like myself, have been unable (or unwilling) to see all the other set-ups. Of course, having read the comic series of the same name, I am aware of the general plot scheme of Crisis on Infinite Earths: the multiverse is collapsing at the hands of the Anti-Monitor, forcing heroes across multiple Earths to join together. Because of this, I walked into вЂњEarth CrisisвЂќ oblivious to what had been going on in the larger playing field.
