It’s funny how a soundtrack can affect a scene’s perception. The action in this part of the Flash (can I still call it a Flash?) isn’t so different from the prior part: kids bounce around in combat, while Lord English executes his classic ‘pound Trolls into the ground with your fists’ fighting technique.

Yet the music is darker, more ominous, and that casts a shadow on the whole section. Maybe the heroes will avoid destruction, but there’s no way they can truly win here. Not yet, anyways.
