Supergirl 5X9: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Hour One
🕑 Added 2025-05-19 21:15:18 +0000 UTCOkay, there is zero chance they'll kill off Oliver on someone else's shows. However, they also married Oliver on someone else's show, so what the hell do I know? Also, I was so confused about what was actually happening. It takes way too long before I stop going, 'Huh?' 'What is happening right now?' Plus, I need to know the background drama between the woman who opened the portal and way Kara and other lady were mean to her.
We're only, like, Earth 38 or something when we find out that this anti matter is threatening to destroy all the Earths. Lois and Clark are on some planet that about to be vaporized, so Kara gets a message to them to get out. They put their baby on an escape pod and hope for the best. Lyla then rounds up all the superheroes and brings them to wherever Kara is because the fight is happening here.
They figure out that Earth 1 is the last Earth that's going to be destroyed, so we come up with a plan that gets everyone over there so we can buy some time (at least I think that's what happened). However, we need a bunch of space vehicles and a giant ass portal. Thankfully, we have a bunch of alien ships and some lady who knows how to open a portal. Except she's pissed because business lady and Kara apparently screwed her over. Either way, she's willing to help.
But that means, we have to keep this Earth here long enough for her to get the job done. And there's also some quantum tower that's sort of holding everything together, but there is an army of ghosts trying to destroy it. So our job is to try to hold them off while giving time to the portal lady. Dude, these ghost are never ending. I think we killed about a million and a million more showed up.
Eventually, the Monitor decides we can't win, so he yanks everyone out of this Earth so we can live to fight another battle. However, Oliver refuses to leave. He wants to make sure as many people get evacuated as possible. And just before he dies, the Monitor brings him back to Earth 1 (I think) where he gets to say his good byes and then dies. (Assuming he's actually dead. I'm sure we can figure something out. We aren't going to finish these crossovers and then his actual show with him dead for all it, right?
Oh, and the baby ends up some other Earth and when we get there to retrieve it, Oliver ends up fighting Sara since he has no idea what's going on. On this Earth, Sara died on the Gambit and didn't come back. And I got really, really stuck on the fact that this was Earth 1 in 2046, and why was Oliver alive, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Earth 1. I don't think why I decided that. But I yell about it a lot.
