welcome back everyone is Charlie this is gonna be my flash season 6 episode 3
video there were a whole bunch of crisis on Infinite Earths
Easter eggs they even snuck in some Shazam Black Adam Easter eggs so we'll
break it all down these came forward a little bit yeah
come back there's a new round of the DC giveaway all you have to do to enter is
be a subscriber and leave your favorite moment from the episode on the video
we'll do top 10 and Easter eggs like normal just careful for spoilers if you
have not seen the episode yet before we get into it starting with number 10 a
crisis on Infinite Earths crossover moment so they're actually filming the
crossover episodes right now Stephen Amell himself just had his very last
scene with Grant Gustin ever it was an incredibly memorable moment but he
posted this video of himself falling asleep and snoring in the middle of the
scene when they were getting ready to film between takes
he just joked that all these years working together it was bound to happen
eventually it might as well happen in their very last scene ever they will
drop the trailer for the crossover sometime either at the end of October
beginning of November but we'll probably see some promo footage in smaller bits
of scenes leaked out before that number 9 they open the actual episode with the
black market weapons crew getting hijacked by their old boss controlled by
work without really realizing that he's controlling the golem don't they
know they're in a horror story you don't break the rules of the horror genre by
talking about the dead member of your crew like he's never ever going to come
back takes him a little while in the episode to actually explain what's
really going on but we're really meant to get this from Ramsay Rose's
perspective because he still doesn't totally understand how his powers work
but he is comic-book work number 8 flash tells team flash about crisis on
Infinite Earths leaving out some key pieces of information he even tells them
about the monitor but not everything that the monitor said elongated man
refers to him as a guardian cost player and everybody starts to freak out a
little bit about the date they spend most of their time focusing on
frost arc because this is meant to be her season of being frost more
than Caitlyn she doesn't want to die before she has a birthday which they pay
off at the end of the episode before she eats all 31 flavors of baskin-robbins
cube baskin-robbins joke it's just the beginning of Barry checking off this
bucket list of preparing team flash all the
members for a world without the flash everyone on Team flash is trying to
prepare for what the anti-monitor is they don't know who he is yet they just
know about the antimatter wave that's going to erase everything but even by
the end of the episode even though Barry's already made his
peace with everything he's just getting ready to tell them that he has to die to
give them that Doctor Strange speech billions of potential futures only one
where we all survive and it's the one where I have to die 7 we meet Ralph's
mom she was kind of ridiculous during the episode but it's all set up if you
couldn't tell for the SU didney arc they're introducing that character but
that's gonna go into the back half of the season they have a whole lot of
funny moments there's a whole bunch of comic book references Marv Perez the
person that his mother is dating is a reference to Marv Wolfman and George
Perez the two people who wrote and drew crisis on Infinite Earths
in the comics all the other names of her former boyfriends that he rattles off
are also the names of seminal comic book creators there's Doug Mahnke Craig Young
and Nicholas Picardie the most important part of all their scenes together was
that last moment where she's like go out there you go out and find some love that
sort of meant to tee up to sue did in the arc because she's sort of this
missing persons case that he's slowly tracking down but it's gonna take a long
time for that story to percolate and we might actually meet that character till
the back half of the season number 6 frost totally knows what's up
doesn't need to go through all the CSI work to know that work is behind
all this even though she isn't really looking at the evidence she's thinking
more about her memories of work because she has Kaitlyn's memories she
also has all the knowledge that Kaitlyn has so she's just as good of a biologist
and a forensic scientist as Kaitlyn was she just has zero time for bullshit and
it takes bury the rest of the episode to sort of come around to her conclusion
yes this guy is totally bad he was totally trying to steal dark matter from
us the way they leave things at the end of
the episode too is sort of a frenemies situation where he rejects Barry's
attempts at friendship it come to me if you ever want to talk no thanks I'm good
see you later but I think the reason why they're pushing him on this villain arc
so fast is because he's only gonna be around till right before the crossover
for like the first eight episodes or so normally he would have a villain around
for the entire season and they would wait a couple more episodes before they
go full-blown villain one of the coolest moments from all their scenes together
though was number five the Blue Beetle name-drop so he talks about Ted Kord I
got the dark matter from court industries and Ted Kord
so clearly Blue Beetle is still alive in a round on earth one very interested in
experimenting with dark matter technology for some reason maybe we'll
get more answers about that later this season but if you watched arrow for a
number of seasons you realize that they'd actually been referencing cord
industries going back to arrow season one and originally when Brandon Ralph
joined the arrow verse he was originally supposed to be Ted Kord during arrow
season 3 Warner Brothers put the kibosh on that because they were developing a
Blue Beetle Booster Gold movie that kind of wound up in development hell that's
why they ended up turning Brandon Ralph into Ray Palmer so just put a pin in the
fact that Ted Kord has been doing a lot of stuff with Dark Matter technology
they also reference McCullough tech for the Nash wells storyline McCullough is
the second version of mirror master they used him a lot during season five
McCullough attacks so we'll see if we see the actual second version of Mir
master on the show eventually number for explaining Nash wells he's the new
version of Indiana Jones Harrison wells which most of you probably picked up on
before Cisco literally said the words Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom he's
meant to be more of a no-nonsense version of Harrison wells like he calls
the Council of wells a bunch of jackasses the more important thing
though is the black atom Shazam Easter egg that he drops when he
references eternium so if you're not familiar with that I know it kind of
gave off he-man and the Masters of the Universe vibes are they talking about
he-man is that what's going on no eternium is actually a DC Comics
element what it is though is it's actually just shards of the rock of
eternity it was used during a Legion of super-heroes storyline post zero-hour if
you don't remember zero-hour it was the thing that came after Hal Jordan turned
into parallax and threatened the entire multiverse it was kind of a follow up
story to crisis on Infinite Earths before they did Infinite Crisis during a
legion of super-heroes storyline you learned that the Legion is trying to
assemble all the pieces of eternium to reform the rock of eternity so we'll see
what they end up using it for on the TV show but that just means that there is a
version of Shazam in the rock of eternity that existed at one point
during earth ones history whether or not it's still around remains to be seen I
feel like with the success of the Shazam franchise in the films in the black atom
movie coming up it was only a matter of time before they started referencing
those characters in the arrowverse the rock was actually just tweet
about the Black Adam movie is saying that production will be starting next
July he's more booked up than any other movie
person but he said it was a 10-year journey so if you've been wondering how
long he's been working on this Black Adam Shazam stuff he's been for the last
decade but when he was first signed up he was actually initially cast to play
the Shazam character then during the development process decided he liked
Black Adam better because of his origin is a slave and how he rose to power
we'll talk about more Black Adam stuff as they start to ramp up and announce
more of the cast and find out more about the story that movie number three they
defeat the war golem using the negative flash trick from the comics so
if you're not a big flash rebirth comic book reader work is analyzing the
dark matter samples but learns that he can control the golem
he hasn't completely figured it out yet but he just knows that he has some level
of control over it frost comes up with the idea to
defeat it by overloading it with dark matter and that's what the negative
flash did to defeat comic book work but because they use this twist on
the Golem and not the actual work that means that when Barry eventually
has to take down Ramsey Rossa either in episode a door before the mid-season
finale at some point they'll have to use some different twist they won't recycle
this same twist from the comics the other important thing to note is is the
more dark matter he absorbs the more powerful he gets and it's probably
similar for work like he absorbs all that material back into himself at
the end of the episode making him stronger it'll probably continue to be
like that episode 2 episode in the pipeline prison was not strong enough to
hold the golem in meaning that it'll be a lot harder for the flash to take down
a supercharged version of work before the mid-season finale number 2
was work figuring out how his powers work by reabsorbing the material
back into himself the way they're explaining it is is that his ability
combined with the of the other person combined with dark matter is what
created the special new material that he's taking back into himself they're
gonna double down on that in next week's episodes we'll get to see him go a
little bit crazier but number one was Nash wells finding the shards of the
rock of eternity in the post-credits scene so the whole idea is is what is he
actually going to do with the eternium this scene kind of gave me a
Ghostbusters 2 vibe to like the special material they're looking for is somehow
flowing through the sewer system the only other big thing the showrunner said
about his character is that he storyline is directly tied in with how
they set up crisis on Infinite Earths and obviously referencing eternium
shards of the rock of eternity seems like a pretty big deal so that is crisis
level but if you spotted any of the big easter eggs in the episode that i didn't
mention in the video just let me know in the comments I will do more crisis on
Infinite Earths stuff in my trailer video when I post that tomorrow for
episode 4 I know you got all kinds of questions about what's going on with Tom
Welling Superman with all the Batman stuff that they're doing during the
crossover it is gonna be crazy so everybody click here for my last big
crisis on Infinite Earths Batman flash teaser and click here for my brand new
Star Wars Episode nine trailer Easter eggs thank you so much for watching
everybody stay awesome I'll see you guys tonight
