>>212460002- Barry’s attempts to alter the timeline aren’t meant to succeed flawlessly, they’re a lesson in consequences, which is directly drawn from the comic itself. His initial meddling creates a doomed universe, and his effort to undo it reflects growth, not futility. The narrative’s focus on grief and responsibility gives it purpose, even if it doesn’t deliver a tidy resolution.
Like I just said, KeatonBatman and Supergirl don’t die in vain, their sacrifices drive Barry’s arc. Keaton’s Batman mentors Barry, teaching him to prioritize the greater good, while Supergirl’s death in the doomed timeline highlights the stakes of fighting an unwinnable battle. Their losses push Barry to undo his timeline changes to prevent further multiversal collapse. Their deaths are a catalyst for Barry.
- Nowhere in the film is there indication the DCEU is “erased”. The movie serves as a bridge to the DCU. The Clooney twist reflects the multiverse’s fluidity, not a rejection of past continuity. Barry’s actions don’t “help” in a simplistic way because the film prioritizes emotional realism over a clean slate. If anything it’s a meta commentary on the franchise itself.
- I think calling seconds long homages to previous DC characters “cameo porn” is hyperbolic and makes no sense. And there was nothing immoral or illegal about those cameos despite what zoomers online repeated.
- Why would anyone be baffled? The ending’s ambiguity leaves open the possibility of future stories while closing Barry’s arc, not leaving it unresolved. It’s less baffling when seen as a meditation on accepting imperfection, not a demand for closure.
You’re a snyderjeet, I get it, but you’re not making any sense. Your claims run counterintuitive to what Flashpoint meant as a story.
