#Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

[incorrectavengersquotes]

Wanda: I just wanted to save him...

Agatha: His hero. How noble. Oh, wait! You didn't stop Howard Stark from getting assassinated or make sure Loki stayed in Asgard. You brought back your boyfriend. You missed him. And in a supreme act of selfishness twisted reality like a rank amateur, turned an entire neighborhood into your living playground. And I'm the villain?

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

"Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox" was made ten years ago and is a prime example of how to do a multiverse story right.

Barry Allen stops Professor Zoom once again with the help of the Justice League. As Professor Zoom is being escorted to prison, he tells Barry that he's still not fast enough to save those who truly matter. This affects Barry as he goes to run his feelings off. The next morning, Barry is shocked to see that his late mother is alive and well. This confuses him at first, but then he's more confused to find out his powers are gone. Barry starts noticing big differences in his world and he has to figure out what's going on before the war between Amazonians and Atlantians destroys the world.

In the last ten years, multiverse stories have caught on like wildfire. Movies like "Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse" and "Everything Everywhere All At Once" have changed their respective genres in big ways. Movies like "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "The Flash" have allowed old faces to return, much to the delight of many fans. It's crazy to think that "Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox" did this before it was trendy. Even television shows are dipping their toes into the multiverse idea like "Loki" and "Fionna & Cake". The thing is, I think this 2013 movie got the multiverse idea right and only a handful of movies nowadays understand why. There are so many multiverse movies coming out that people are starting to get 'Multiverse Fatigue'. I think this problem is very similar to the Superhero Fatigue most people are experiencing. Sure, these genres are oversaturated, but I think the fatigue comes from the oversaturation of low-quality productions rather than the oversaturation itself. I guarantee that people wouldn't be complaining nearly as much if all of the multiverse movies coming out now had heart and were telling good stories. The reason why these new multiverse movies seem soulless is because alternate versions of characters are glorified cameos. The most soulless example is the distastefully reincarnated CGI abominations from 2023's "The Flash". Multiverse stories are at their strongest when alternate versions of characters serve as foils for our main characters. They have to serve a function in the story that's higher than just cashing in on nostalgia. I think "Spider-Man: No Way Home" struck a fantastic balance between the two. Of course, fans were hyped to see Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield come back as Spider-Man. I was one of those many fans. But, they served as mentors for Tom Holland's Peter Parker because they had history. The same can be said about the alternate versions of the characters in "Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox". Barry spends the whole movie thinking that bringing his mother back would fix everything and make the world a better place, but is proven wrong. We learn how grim things would've turned out if things had gone just a little differently. It highlights how lucky Barry's original universe was to have so many great heroes. These dark versions of the heroes we know and love highlight the truth that Barry's life is great already. They're not in the story because they were once famous in the role a decade or two ago. They're in the story because they matter. I'd love to see more multiverse stories because it's a topic that still fascinates me, but I'd like to see them done right, and a good way to ensure that is to learn the lessons from this brilliant movie.

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

apparently war was not the start, apparently this one is. this feels like trying to watch all things MLP in order, except that when i do that i watch two series of tv shows and specials and multiple series or comics. this is just one series. why do you make this so difficult?

so part of this watching this series will be wrong as i know how it'll end: badly by retconning everything, and this is the movie that'll apparently set that up.

apparently in this existence the league already exists, and is a true team. going to a new reality i guess should sting a bit. seeing how the different members work is really cool to see.

well this is a different batman then from the next movie as this one uses guns. love this harley though.

it's rather dully dark. apocalypse war at least had characters coping, progressing, which is why the ending was so bad. i guess the ending here at least wont be as there's nothing to make one invested in this worlds.

overal i had little to say. the story of one person learning a lession told badly and the world that didn't matter. you're really not missing much not watching this one.
