(Reveals the above comment to be an illusion created by the Monitor to help him cope)

Monitor: Why can't things be the way they once were...

Barry: Well...at least we can agree that Kara's comment was absolutely awful...

Monitor: None of this would have happened if the DCEU had been good...

Barry: Again...let's not shit on the films...

Monitor: But that's how things once were. And there was...peace.

Barry: Yeah, well...look behind you.

(Monitor looks behind him...and sees all of the heroes as dead)

Barry: Shitting on the films is what brought this on ourselves. The films weren't doing much to do worldbuilding, or commenting on why they should be heroes. We tried it for ourselves, and we tried to make a difference, but...

Monitor: But...we lost our focus on that ourselves.

Barry: We were so focused on making our heroes stand out, that now we're the ONLY heroes left. We made Superman look like a complete sexist tool, and devalued the point of Batman by taking away what made Bruce Wayne so interesting...and then we plastered it onto his "cousin". Now we only have a year before the Anti-Monitor arrives...and we only have half our arsenal.

Monitor: The same half we have shunned and ridiculed...even amongst ourselves. A...harmony is needed.

Barry: The only way to save us all is to embrace our choices, and make better on them, is to adopt both sides of the coin...and more.

Monitor: I understand. We must remain less toxic, and pave way for others to join us, no matter their adaptation. But for us, and us alone...there is one way to ensure our survival.

Barry: And what's that?

Monitor: Your death is the only thing that can save this universe from complete mediocrity...promise me, Barry Allen, that you will live to die for the task.

Barry: Sure...
