"Do you give people hope? Are you moving through your city like a guardian angel? Do you make a difference? That bolt of lightning chose you. Don't ever forget it." The final scene was a literal sob fest and satisfying and emotional to a tee. This episode served as a perfect tribute to the Arrowverse and a homage to Arrow's incredible fight choreography.
It was extremely surreal seeing Stephen Amell reprise his role as Oliver Queen aka the Green Arrow. I was ecstatic seeing my two favourite characters interacting with each other one last time. Barry and Oliver are the best duo in the Arrowverse. They unlock each other's true potential and restore my faith in humanity.
This episode not only marked the return of the Green Arrow, but also marked the 180th milestone episode of the series (which the writers sneakily mentioned in a humorous way). I loved how the ending to the episode mirrors the ending of the Invasion crossover, where Barry and Oliver are having a celebratory drink. The final moment between the characters served as an incredibly heartfelt and emotional farewell scene. I am going to miss the Arrowverse so much.
To conclude, the final Arrowverse crossover directed by the versatile Danielle Panabaker is emotional, witty, nostalgic, action packed, and jaw dropping. The writing, acting, directing, visual effects, fight choreography, and character development (especially for a certain character dubbed Kid Flash) is superb. Stephen Amell's return is pure fan service, and audiences will lose their mind hearing Blake Neely's Arrow theme again. Not only is this one of my all-time favourite episodes of the series, but my favourite episode that Danielle Panabaker directed. It revitalized my love for Stephen Amell's iteration of Green Arrow and made me nostalgic of the good old days watching Arrow.
The true essence of a hero (as explained by Oliver Queen aka the Green Arrow aka the Spectre): "Because heroes don't stop running."
Final verdict: 10/10.
