Unlike another review on this I highly disagree with the idea that its "forced" and "shoved down your throat" LGBTQ+ themes, these were hardly a central point. Were they mentioned yes, was it out of context no, everytime this subject was brought up it was to provide context to the story. Its a world were the Nazi won WW2 and the alt right controls the world which for anyone who knows history meant that people who are in the LGBTQ+ community would be at risk. However moving on from the political side into the ray itself, fantastic storyline with an array of talented cast members from those who are used to playing live action like Russell tovey (the ray) and Melissa benoist (overgirl) to experienced voice actors like scott whyte (blitzkrieg/Barry Allen/ the flash) and Matthew mercer (Black arrow/ the arrow/ Oliver Queen). They all came together to create a well crafted film.
