The Internet Reacts to "Crisis on Earth-X" Night One

That Opening
The episode's first act tracked the four shows of heroes coming together for the West-Allen wedding, and provided some pretty great fight sequences along the way.
The Flash had a rematch against Arrowverse favorite King Shark, Green Arrow fought some ninjas, and Supergirl fought a villain that was simply "so last year."

Barry fights King Shark, Ollie fights ninjas, the Legends fight the Sheriff of Nottingham's men, Kara fights a Dominator. And not a one of them are either bit worried. Badasses, every one. #Supergirl #CrisisOnEarthX

Alex and Sara
While the gathering might have centered around Barry and Iris' wedding, a new Arrowverse ship stole plenty of fans' hearts.
Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) and Sara Lance/White Canary (Caity Lotz) connected while at the West-Allen rehearsal dinner, and very quickly took things to the next level. The pair were shown making out outside of Jitters, and then Alex awkwardly woke up in bed with Sara the next morning.
Regardless of what's next for the newfound ship (Agent Canary? Lanvers?), it looks like plenty of fans liked seeing them together.

Olicity
Of course, Alex and Sara weren't the only pairing to go through a major revelation this episode.
After reconnecting throughout this season of Arrow, Oliver and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) pondered the future of their relationship while at Barry and Iris' wedding festivities. Oliver then proposed to Felicity... and things didn't go exactly as hoped.
"I don't want to tempt fate again." Oh, sweet Felicity. Now, we're getting somewhere. Her heart couldn't take it twice. ???? #CrisisOnEarthX OLICITY WEDDING

Oliver Queen getting flustered in front of Felicity Smoak will always be wonderful. Especially when he’s babbling out a proposal. #CrisisOnEarthX #Arrow

West-Allen Wedding
After months of anticipation, Barry and Iris' wedding finally arrived. The Arrowverse's heroes gathered together (along with a former superhero actor), Kara sang a rather touching song, and fans got a possible look at Barry and Iris' future.
But in true comic book fashion, things didn't go exactly as planned. The Earth-X villains attacked the wedding venue, causing the heroes to fight back.
Quite possibly the best wedding fight scene ever. More weddings should have this...i might consider doing it again. HA! #CrisisOnEarthX

Prometheus-X
In the crossover's second hour, Arrow fans got an unmasking that they both were and weren't expecting.
Earth-X's version of Prometheus was captured by the Arrowverse's heroes, and very quickly revealed that he was none other than Earth-X's Tommy Merlyn (Colin Donnell).
Was it fanservice for those who speculated that Tommy was really Earth-1 Prometheus? Probably. Was it still an awesome reveal? Definitely.

SuperArrow Rises
The second installment of the crossover also gave fans a closer look at the Earth-X villains, particularly, the faces behind their masks.
The mysterious archer and flying woman ended up being Oliver Queen/Dark Arrow and Kara Zor-El/Overgirl, who apparently serve as generals on Earth-X. As if determined from on high, they also happened to be married.

Fight Scene
The episode's third act culminated in a fight that Arrowverse fans had to see to believe.
Oliver, Barry, Kara, Sara, Alex, and Firestorm tracked down the Earth-X villains, and ended up confronting them in a warehouse. The two groups began fighting, while the remaining members of Team Arrow fought off Dark Arrow back at S.T.A.R. Labs. And it's safe to say that the end result was pretty epic.
Alex was on some Black Widow/John Wick level of badass tonight in that warehouse fight sequence. #CrisisOnEarthX #Supergirl
