*F.A.Q.*
*What about Blackest Night?:* Not a Crisis. It doesn't affect things on a multiversal scale.
*What about Doomsday Clock:* Not a Crisis or at least not yet. We need to wait for the end of the book to see.
*What about Rebirth?:* Not a Crisis. It just revealed the post-Flashpoint changes.
*What about Death Metal?:* Not a Crisis. It is specifically an Anti-Crisis.
*Why didn't you talk about **____** happening in **____** story?:* These are super condensed summaries. If I didn't include it, I clearly didn't think it was worth mentioning for the core explanation.
*Why didn't you mention **____** happening from **____** tie in?:* These summaries are strictly of the core books.
Can you make a separate video on Final Crisis specifically?
I remember when Doomsday Clock used to matter
John Chung dude I feel that
Imagine in the new upcoming crisis, DC just goes off the rails crazy. I mean they have every version of DC characters come together to form a massive army to fight whatever the big bad is in the book. I know that sounds like Convergence, but every character is from the newly established multiverse, like the arrowvewrse or dcamu. It will be glorious. From Teen Titans Go to the dceu, all versions of the DC universe converge at this one monumentous occasion!
Doomsday Clock is supposed to explain(?) Rebirth. I think they've had to tweak it so much due to the original delays that the ending may be moot at this (flash)point.
Basically DC:
*When in doubt, CRISIS*
Unicorn Illuminati
Lol
Cope with a crisis by doing a Crisis
DC is like one of those sitcoms where something bad happens and the main character tries to fix it but makes it worse then repeats ad infinitum.
All Marvel events make heroes fight each other, all DC events destroy the fabric of the universe.
So Convergence was just trying to make absoulty e v e r y t h i n g canon with the excuse that if something ever goes against continuity then it just exists in a seperate multiverse. By that logic even fan fiction is canon.
Patrick Oliver o h f u c k
I like the idea that DC’s history has been rebooted and altered so many times that now it’s essentially fluid. It constantly changes, so let’s say Harley Quinn can be both the goofy Deadpool-wannabe in her own book while being more of a psycho killer in Suicide Squad, for example. They can both be canon. Superboy can have both of his Pre-Flashpoint and New 52 origins, as the fluid DC canon constantly changes.
@Darth Pancake Studios the one sentence where DC's continuity and sense actually fit
Ya ever heard of C0DA?
OH GOD THOSE BRUCE TIMM BTAS PORN PICTURES ARE CANON.
No seriously he drew those things.
You know, a full length video of Dark Knights Metal would be pretty interesting, especially considering the Dark Knights were essentially Batman if he had to take out specific justice league members.
Some youtube channels have already done it in full narratives
The Dark Knights Metal series was basically the Agamemno Contingency but all of them were Bruce fused with certain JL members.
Just watch comicstorian
Km
Hmmm
The World Forger: "God Damn it DC, If i see my Crisis Anvil appear one more time, I swear to god..."
Lel
*dc grabs dark knight's metal instead*
World Forger: NOT THAT EITHER
Crisis on Infinite Earths: 1:54
Zero Hour: 4:03
Infinite Crisis: 6:37
Final Crisis: 9:23
Flashpoint: 11:55
Convergence: 14:15
Metal: 16:45
Thanks
Convergence sucks!
Ii,,😊

DC: Made their *greatest* crisis.
Also DC: You know what? Double the Crisis'.
Make the Crisis have a Crisis.
@@luisalbertoarenasaraya4579make the crisis that has a crisis have a crisis
Am I the only one who thinks Dark Nights Metal is basically DC's way of satirizing how much they love over-saturating Batman?
Except Metal plays it straight.
No, it's basically their only way left to make money from comics
Beard Up Beer Down i wouldnt even say that 🤣 id rather read dc comics rn than marvel n im a fan of both. Only interesting event of late from marvel was the incursions event and after that damn 💀 shit hit fan
Yes
Much like the Mcfarlane figure line, its Batmans all the way down.
The best Crisis event was very clearly Shattered Grid
This is a joke I can appreciate
@@DigitalJacob That probably wasn't a joke. Shattered Grid is by Drake's definition, a crisis event. The Power Rangers multiverse was _literally_ shattered, it doesn't get much more crisis than that.
I see you're a man of culture as well
God, I want Drake to do a video on the Power Rangers comics so badly. I’m not sure if he’s a fan or not, but they’re so good and surprisingly accessible to newcomers.
That's not a crisis. It didn't even have Kamen Rider and the Ninja Turtles in it.
Crisis is so close I can smell it
Something's wrong I can feel it
This is the taste of a liar.
Which one? there are like 30 + crisis events.
😃 P.S I know you mean COIE, Just saying Crisis to a actual comics fan and not a TV fan is like walking into Ben and Jerry's and asking for just Ice Cream.
@@disposable_hero1725 Did you watch the entire video?
I don't need too.My point is as above just saying Crisis in vague.
"Emphasize story over continuity." The problem with that is, if the outcome of any story can just be ignored by the next writer, then fans have little reason to care about the outcome of any story in the first place. Which can't be good for sales.
And that’s why they decided on Rebirth instead
*cough* Doomsday Clock.
Not to mention character development. No point in caring about a character growing if it can just be easily tossed out.
I don’t know, it worked during the Golden and Silver Ages. I love continuity and long story arcs but there’s something to be said for just telling good stories, something that has been scarce at DC and Marvel for the past 20 years. The editors and writers have been pushing their egos on how much they can mess with characters that have been around for decades and I would argue it’s been horrible.
@Some characters aren't allowed but changing from taking in count between 2-14 years worth of continuity and making it into 0 seconds of continuity is a big leap.
So it would really make it so every single writer can make a series about a character in wich between 2 books/comics there is 0 character development 0 changes to the narrative, and complete freedom to just make a "figth gallery" where everyone dies, but in the sequel they are 1 year in the future and everyone is 5 years old, no one died never, and the consumers is supposed to just accept that reading the series means nothing, but still buying every single one.
13:20 that panel of Flash reaching out to his past self and crying really hit me in my feels 😭
Superboy-Prime's tantrums are absolutely part of the Theme of Infinite Crisis. I thin Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis are the best actual stories among these, they have themes and a message the author wants to tell. Infinite Crisis is about Toxic Nostalgia, each Antagonist in their own way wants to Make The Multiverse Great Again.
*I only wear Element X as armor*
This is so Metal!!!
I like the basic pitch of Convergence. The idea of a bad guy collecting different pieces of continuity was cool. The idea of focusing on story over continuity is cool (I feel like some writers and fans focus way too much on what’s “canon”). I like the basic idea of Convergence. HOWEVER. THAT DANG EXECUTION.
Now I'm more curious DC Convergence more
@@sketch-eee4165 fr he says it was dumb but calls metal knights dumb fun like bruh
I actually like what they did with continuity for the recent crisis essentially making everything post crisis cannon until it's said otherwise and just expanding the multiverse further by breaking the source wall in order to tell more stories
Now they just added a new elements to these crisis events, it was recently reveal that Perpetrua is the one behind all these crisis which she proceded by whispering into the main antagonist ears from behind the source wall
Good Lord, it never ends! 😅😅😅
From the Anti-Monitor in Crisis On Infinite Earths to Parallax in Zero Hour to Alexander Luthor Jr. in Infinite Crisis to Darkseid in Final Crisis to Barbatos in Dark Knights Metal.
Then what about Flashpoint?
Did she also manipulate Barry to go back in time?
Yeah this is where I just can't follow anymore. I am still new to DC, but from what I see Marvel is way simpler.
Everything is on one timeline, with minimal altering like house of m and one more day.
With DC it just seems you have to go back to late 1930ts and bookmark anything that is gonna be involved again or changed.
Whoa dc comics mid life crisis is insane 🤯
I just watched ComicTropes’ video about all the Crises events and then this popped up!
It's almost like all the comic channels are being inspired to cover crisis stories by some upcoming tv event..
@@MrYTGuy1 I wonder what that is.
It's because of the upcomins COIE tv series on CW.
@@MrSafior I was being sarcastic, thank you though.
@@mastershake2473 I din't see your comment.
I just read what Tommy North wrote.
Aw man I was hoping there would be one about Bat Man having a MIDLIFE Crisis.
Oh well, these are really good as well.
turns out the new crisis is "crisis on actual earth" :(
Turns out the new crisis is the one inside us all along
Maybe the real crisis was the friends we made along the way...
Whenever there a Crisis there is always multiverse changes
Dc have actually explained this, When ever there is a major crisis event that threatens the multivere a Anvil appears before The World Forger (Monitor & Anti Monitors Older Brother) when he hits the Anvil with his hammer a brand new multiverse replaces the old one, These are the DC reboots but it's also said at these Crisis Events happen it weakens the multiverse to the point alterations can happen.
dc.fandom.com/wiki/Alpheus_(Sixth_Dimension)
Not heroes in crisis
@@munjee2 heroes in crisis is not a crisis it just has crisis in the title
@@GooberPipebomb okay well this whole thread us just redundant thrn cause this video states that a crisis is when there are multiverse changes so why bother even writing that in the comments again ?
@Twilight TJK but theres only 7
As a Wonder Woman fan, having my favorite character's powers, origins, history, villains and costume basically "re-written" every couple of years is getting damned annoying. DC needs to lay off with the reboots for about a decade.
Jimmy Wonder Boy Headrick agreed
@Stellvia Hoenheim funny thing about that they did do that recently with the new age of heroes characters like silencer sideways the terrifics
I bet it's especially annoying for wonder woman fans, mainly because of what they did too her after the new 52
Agreed
Love the video man, I have had so many questions about the crisis events. Will definitely be looking into them! My local comic shop sends his thanks lol all my friends shop there because of your “jingle” in your videos.
I adore local comic shops. If you get a chance, let them know that they have full permission to play my videos in their store.
Comic Drake absolutely will do! I’m sure they’ll be glad to know!
any chance for a doomsday clock summary video?
Can we get a full "Dark Knights: METAL" video, because that shit was WAY more insane than what you said.
I have to say Drake, this has to be the BEST EPISODE YOU’VE DONE SINCE YOUR LATEST GWENPOOL EPISODE!!!
I will say that the CW's version is going to be interesting since we know they aren't going to kill off Barry Allen (at least not Earth-1's) and Supergirl since those shows are still going. Given the fact that Rob Rovnar is worked on at least one of the episodes, you know it is going to be good.
What did you think of it?
It was trash
After watching all this, and having just read the Dark Crisis event, wondering what Drake thought of our latest 8th Crisis?
(Also, that’s funny that Dark Knights Metal was originally going to be called Dark Crisis and now they’ve finally used the name)
It irony that Dark Knight Metal revolve around Rock since in Batman: Fortunate Son also involves he hating Rock n' Roll so much.
Insert Linkara's Batman Voice Here.
That's just it, it's a character arc. He had to embrace the metal to be victorious, cause as we all know "you can't kill the metal".
@@gunsniper0018 thats amazing
As someone who loves the story of DC Comics and is desperately trying to understand the continuity of it all, I love your videos! They've actually answered a lot of the questions I had based on all the new comics and characters that DC keeps cranking out (and explains that it isn't just randomness). I will say that I'm still a little bit confused on some of the reboots like Flashpoint and Final Crisis and how they all tie into it all.
DC: _"We don't like so and so in these comics, time to bring out Crisis and let's add in a bit of Flashpoint even though, it's supposed to be self-contained, for good measurement. Aw what the heck, let's throw in Convergence just for the sake of it."_
Best description: Sh*t happens, and because it happened, other sh*t never happened...
Infinite Crisis had a lot of potential with the survivors of the Pre-Crisis DCU commenting on how dark DC Comics had become, and attempting to bring some light back to it, but it went off the rails by the end. P.S. Yes to full videos about Zero Hour and Dark Knights Metal
The Kingdom Come characters should have also had a role.
Part of me wants to see a full video on Convergence
Alexander Luthor was defeated by the Joker and LEX Luthor. Lexie wasn't part of Alex's scheme, so he went and found the Joker who killed Alexander (the heroes sort of stopped Alex's plan by teaming up, but it was really The Joker who stopped him).
11:20 u r telling me professor stole element x to make Powerpuff girls
That was a chemical compound.
Element X is a natural material
Aren't there two other Crises happening right now? I know one is the multiversal war between justice and doom, but what about the thing involving Dr. Manhattan that's been stretched out for the last two years? The one where the changes involving Pandora and the inter-continental fusion was because our favorite one man Blue Man Crew got bored and wanted to screw around just to meet Superman. Or would that still be lumped in with Flashpoint.
I find it interesting that convergence is so hated when the tie ins actually got me to go by singles after flashpoint changed everything I really loved about DC comics
fangoram29 some people might hate convergence but it undid the worst thing that happened to dc the shitty two books
At the tie-ins are better because it kind of gave origins/descriptions about the multiverse and character at the end.
The tie-ins were actually the most well-recieved parts. The core story actually was SHITE.
he forgot that futures end is tied in with it
The main thing that's always bothered me about the crises is how Earth-centric every story has to be. How can you have a universe or multiverse-shattering event but only have them effect one planet, even if it's different versions of it? If the Earths exist and there are Kryptonians, Thanagarians, etc. living there then that means different versions of alien worlds also exist, so why do we never see how they react to time and space and their own realities being threatened?
The Batman Who Laughs just might be my favorite supervillain of all time. Being Batman and Joker at the same time, while also collecting other evil Bat-people to wage war against the multiverse is an amazing concept.
Crisis on Earth 1, Earth 2, Earth 3, Earth X, Zero Hour...
The good thing about Zero Hour was Time Trapper was able to keep canon all the different versions of Legion of Super Heroes.
FTC if COPPA is put in effect;
“Channels will live, channels will die, and CZcams will never be the same again.”
lol
Dark Knights: Metal got me back into reading DC comics, but I couldnt keep up with it, and if memory serves me correctly, they're still expanding on that story. I'd love to see another video going further in depth on that story, the idea of evil Batman as different interpretations of DC heroes really sold me on the story when it first came out.
They straight-up break the source wall, so that story is gonna take a while
It was kind of dragged out much longer than it had to be
I would absolutely love to see a video about each event.
I really enjoy your assessment of comic book information.
I made a reading order (by compiling other reading orders more hardworking people have already made) of Crisis events. It has everything here, plus 52, Multiversity, the Rebirth intro issue, Doomsday Clock, and Death Metal. Basically, whatever reading order had the most issues (or if one order had issues another didn't, those were incorporated) for each event compiled together
Please make a part 2 with DC Rebirth, Doomsday Clock and Dark Knights: Death Metal.
oh these are good one hah. the absolute best of fiction
The main villain of each crisis:
Crisis on Infinite Earths: Anti-Monitor
Zero Hour: A crisis in time: Parallax (Hal Jordan)
Infinite Crisis: Alex Luther
Final Crisis: Darkseid
Flashpoint: Reverse Flash
Convergence: Braniac
Dark Nights Metal: Barbados
14:12 that sound best describes convergence
-which granted Superman’s one true wish, a happy ending - Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order ad plays
Turns out his real wish was a good EA Star Wars game
The outcome of Convergence was fantastic.
It'd take a lot, but I'd love to see a video on the structure of the multiverse and existence in DC Comics... there's so much to it and it's all so fascinating, and surprisingly consistent anyway, but even more so considering Grant Morrison has been so involved with it. Sort-of separately but not really a Multiversity video would be cool!
9:50 sounds a lot like Bloodwork in the Flash last week
Your work is fantastic, thank you.
Definitely make videos for each Crisis. Including the ones beyond these 7 please! Thanks!
15:01 The Premise of Convergence kinda reminds me of “Secret Wars”.
Dark knights metal was really epic i loved it :)
Short and concise, thanks you filled in some blanks for me. A very good overview.
Who else wants "CoIE", "Infinite Crisis", and "Final Crisis" to be a movie trilogy with the Justice League? Especially now that we have the Snyder cut, anything's possible. There should be a Crisis film staring both Christian Bale and Ben Affleck as two contrasting Batmen with different ideologies and methods, (like that two Batmen met in the New 52's Earth 2 run). Or Brandon Routh could be the Golden Age Superman who felt that Henry Cavil's New Earth Superman didn't do his job as well as he's expected. So Henry Superman has to to prove himself to the whole world that he's the embodiment of hope, then they'll both punch evil Superboy Prime in the face.
Convergence had a great idea but was somewhat rushed; the main story at least. I actually enjoyed good number of the tie-ins for the event.
Hell yeah, brother. I loved the Tie-Ins. They gave me life. And they gave me back my two favorite DC characters. But the Titans and Superman tie-ins...
Villains: 'You have your powers back. Fight to the death or your city dies'
Superman: 'Hm, okay, that's one way to do it, here's what we're actually going to do. Assemble the Justice League.'
The singing makes perfect sense, considering the entire Multiverse exists on vibrational frequencies, aka, SOUND.
Vibracional frequence isnt the same as sond they are diferrent.
Great video man ! I’d love for you to cover them all in detail . Very awesome bro !
Great video! Thanks.
16:10
Marvel already took that one step further with “Exiles.”
The “Omniverse”.
nooo the omniverse is not a multimultiverse like the megaverse, the omniverse is basically every fictional story ever written, including marvel multiverse and dc multiverse
Hosentraeger125 Batman ones shots the one above all and the presence
@@gandalfharrisonwells6902 said every Batfanboy
@@TupocalypseShakur am I lying tho... yes
I would like to learn more about Convergence, as you said theres a lot of tie-ins and it'd be nice to learn about some of those if that is even something to touch on in a more dedicated video
I'd like to see a full Convergence video, tie-ins and all, since you mentioned that the tie-ins are what really make the story.
This is very helpful thanks very much
Such a great episode and I’d love to hear your break down of each crisis!
The thumbnail be like: “WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOR!”
This was very good!
Flashpoint bothered me for two reasons.
1) The Flash is an expert time traveler but this time he screws up time travel so badly that he alters events that occurred BEFORE his mom died. Superman and Batman both being events that happened prior to that day.
2) Every other time The Flash has gone back in time to correct the timeline because another time traveler screwed something up it's worked and restored the original timeline. Prior to 1985 Barry Allen's parents were both alive. It wasn't until after the Flash Rebirth event that suddenly his mom was dead killed by a version of Professor Zoom that somehow figured out how to avert his own death and frame his dad for the crime.
As a stand alone story I think it's awesome but even before Barry changes continuity it changes continuity going into the story.
Doomsday Clock's having Doctor Manhattan creating the New 52 made a lot more sense.
I worked on the Supergirl: Matrix title for the Convergence series, and still had no idea what it was about. Now that I do, I'm glad I didn't bother reading the rest.
Also, as a metalhead of many years, I get the appeal of the idea of doing a metal version of DC characters, but it just looks and feels silly to me.
Very good video!
In terms of which crisises I'd be interested in seeing follow ups on, It's actually not any of the main seven, but rather the pre-crisis crisises, the team ups between the JLA and the JSA, since I know little about them as is
i LOVE it! thanks for the video!
this was fantastic and fun ;)
I only started reading comics with Rebirth, specifically Action comics and superman. While I am now really enjoying them, boy was it hard to get going. While DC rebirth was sold as a reboot/relaunch you couldn't really read them without understanding much of what you have talked about in your video. So a big thank you to people like yourself and Comics explained for taking the time to lay it out in a logical way.
can you go on these events in more detail?? that would be great!!
This is going be epic to watch
Go in depth please!! Big fan!!
So the miracle machine grants him a naughty massage from lois
Honestly zero hour a crisis in time has so much potential.
Can you please do a mini series where you go through each crisis in a deep dive. You are awsome thanks for all the info and hard work. You are awesome !!
I've understand all of this Crisis stuff better now, thanks Drake!!
Going in depth with Crisis on Infinite Earths would be neat. Also, I find it interesting Marv Wolfman is writing all the episodes of this 5 part special coming up
@@LegacyComics will do ;)
You gonna cover IDWs transformers
really helpful to understand thanks
I'd love to hear you talk more details about Dark Nights Metal
Secret wars(2015) is the best crisis.
Please do these 7 crisis separately .
Even though I read all, still few things bothers me 😕
Love these innovative names
Ahhh its been too long sense I saw one of your videos. This was a treat.
What would Dark Nights: Death Metal be? I’m pretty sure it’s a crisis but it would make there be more than 7. Would it be included with the Metal Crisis? Also DC is sure to make multiple other crisis events and make it more than seven eventually but it’s nice that even for a little while there are exactly seven crises.
I feel like death metal is just an extention of metal
@@valletas Thank you, I though my so but was unsure.
8:26 I mean at the end of the day, even if he's from the universe where heroes are villains and villains are heroes, he's still aLEXander Luthor and anyone who complains about Lena turning evil in the CW Supergirl need only look to this guy to see that it was an inevitability.
The Question discussed something like this in that JLU episode where he confronted Lex Luthor.
Hardcore dc fan here please do in depth videos on each crisis am only 13 lol but loved the legendary dc animated universe
Glad I found this channel. No obnoxious youtuby talk and well delivered information
I LOVE YOU DRAKE!!!!!
He loves you only partly
I love my fiancee, my dog, and Animal Crossing.
I have a question. If a crisis is defined as a multi universe thread, would the Marvel vs DC technically count? Seeing how the universe's quite literally tried to kill themselves.
Well Marvel vs DC is more like Crisis on Two Earths, a conflict between two universes but no lasting or major changes to the multiverse
Great video, now you will have to do another video for the new crisis.
Yes, please, more details of every crisis.
