The only reason I watched season 4 was for closure. I hoped it would be better than season 3, but it was actually worse.

Now that I finished this unaborted hellspawn of a season I can finally conclude that Arrow will never be good again. Even if Flashpoint retcons in Supergirl and restarts Arrow from fresh, I will not watch it as it will have the same shitty writers from season 3 and 4.

I'll still browse these threads just for fun though.

Dahrk comes into Felicity's loft, whoops ass, Ollie and Thea show up and Thea has Dahrk's daughter hostage, so he agrees to fuck off for letting his daughter go, but he takes the nuke computer codes

The nukes arm, Star City goes into riots

Felicity hacks the nukes away

Oliver gains the power of friendship through the citizens of Star City and depowers Damien Dahrk, stabs him in the chest and he dies

The team splits up, Thea thinks Laurel would hate her so she leaves the team, Diggle goes to the military, Lance and Felicity's mom leave the city

only Oliver and Felicity are left in the Arrow cave, and he says "I thought you would leave too"

she says "not a chance"

and that's the end

It's best they don't because they'd probably tweet at the writers and DC to bring her back to the comics.

I dropped it after that stupid episode where Ollie's kid gets kidnapped and Felicity throws a hissy fit and dumps him.

Season 4 was already trying my patience by this point, but that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I haven't watched an episode since and the little bits and pieces I've gathered from /co/ threads lead me to suspect I have missed absolutely nothing worth seeing.

And that's why they killed her even though she should have been the only love interest from the get go. We were fools for shitting on her so hard in the first 2 seasons, it left the show vulnerable to Felicity replacing her and the tumblr cunt writers exploited it. The quality of this show would be wildly different if it were her in that last scene and Felicity had died or left a long time ago. And we don't even get Flashpoint to retcon it because the writers refuse to let Flash's events affect their Felicity agenda in any way.

Eh maybe. It dependa on how much Roy we're getting. I hope for a weird clone subplot or some robot arm knockoff Bucky type shit.

My biggest gripe besides Felicity was the fact that he had so many sidekicks in the field. Dialing it back to one or even just Ollie would be a great start. And it sounds like they want a non supernatural villain.

>There was a lot riding on "Schism" in terms of wrapping up Season 4 and proving whether the show is truly in a better place now than it was a yer ago. That's why it's a shame that this episode wasn't just a disappointment, but easily among the weakest in the show's four-year history. Very little worked in this muddled, dramatically inert finale. It certainly didn't do much to inspire hope in the upcoming fifth season.

But the problem is the show goes out of its way to shower Felicity in love, good fortune, lots of money that she got by inheriting it from a dead man, literally will not stop whining about her own problems despite being the most favored one on the team who absolutely nobody calls out on her hypocrisy, and is inexplicable loved by a massive following on Tumblr living out there vicarious "I can do no wrong" fantasies.

She's Wesley Crusher x2. Loved the her creator, and we're constantly told how great she is, despite absolutely insufferable.

Nah her actress is actually pretty chill it seems. Hilariously her actress was apparently against killing the other female lead... but most of Felicity's fans rejoined anyway.

>Lets count:

>1. He has come back from hell, LITERALLY after getting burned alive by Thea, with only one goal...to save his citybykillingDahrk andspreadinganarchy

>2. He works alone doing investigative work like Oliver used to do in Season 1. No hacking BS just straight up old fashioned ass kicking, torture for info and calling the big boss out live on tv BY HIS FIRST NAME for a mano e mano death match next to his wife and daughter..

>3.He fights creatively and erratically like a vigilante should. No guns, no tranq darts, Just over the top flips that would give Roy a hernia and a cattle prod transforming nunchuka that would give Batman a batboner.

>4.He is the one that has truly given Damien Darhk trouble by consistently hitting him where it hurts. His family, his schemes, his men and his assets. Whilst Team Arrow is busy trying to find something to hack Mason is getting shit done with only his fists and a thirst for vengeance!

>5.He has had longterm character development. Just think about how he started off on the show. Just some hired hand kissing ass to get in with HIVE. He had a personal relationship with Damien Dahrk, almost a protege relationship as Darhk saw potential in him, but he was ultimately betrayed by his idol who set Team Arrow upon him. He is consistent about his character's motivation and has been waging a one man war vs Dahrk despite repeated interference by Team Arrow.

And all it would take is one Arrow to a gas container in the Dwarf Star Alloy Base.

Laurel literally had the world constantly shit on her. Sister and boyfriend die while cheating on her, mom abandons her, dad drinks. Has to work through that. Boyfriend comes back but sister's still dead, angry at him but accepts he has gone through some shit on the island. Is there for him when his sister fucks up. Boyfriend does trying to save her life.

Season 2, depression hits, gets into drugs and alcohol, everyone tells her to fix up instead of actually giving her any support. Gets gas lighted by the villain and no one believes her. Sister comes back, fucking her ex once again without telling her. Everyone again just tells her to fucking deal with it.

And even at her worst, she was still compassionate. She was there for Oliver even when she was mad at him because she loved him and his family.

Compare that to passive aggressive bitch Felicity and there is a world of difference.
>>
>>83170847
No, that show is a guilty pleasure of mine and some of the characters are really likable (Monty, Jasper, Raven, and Bellamy mainly), but the writing is pretty bad and characters themselves are wildly inconsistent in their motivations and actions. It's entertaining, violent, dark, and has some very attractive actresses in it but it's not actually very good. There have been some egregiously stupid plot contrivances throughout the series just to add drama and drag things out and there was also an awful, pointless, out of nowhere lesbian romance between the main character who from the start was purely straight up until the last few episodes of season 2 that attracted the same sort of fanbase as Felicity.

It's just hilarious to me. Like, this show is the definition of fanfiction gone wrong.

When you get down to it, the show just OOZES of writers who think they know better than comic writers, and it's just funny as hell to see them get proven wrong again and again. It's not even a matter of "oh we just don't have the time to read" or "comics aren't a high priority" -- it's becoming obvious that there's this mentality of "the comics are...a bit insular and silly, and WE of course are so much better and broad. there's no point in even reading them."

It's such a limiting and silly way to do things, especially since 1) the comics are the reason this is getting made and 2) the comics are a treasure trove of storylines and characterizations and ideas in general. Simply having those concepts in your mind is going to result in better writing than trying to characterize a bunch of people at the same time from base one.

To put it one way, it'd be like writing The Iliad but refusing to listen older stories about literally every participant of the Trojan War.

I havent been this dissapointed since Tremors 4 retconning the history of the graboids, then retconning it again in the 5th movie.

The fights are weak, even weaker than Oliver vs Ra on that mountain and he was moving like he shit his pants.

>weaker than Oliver vs Ra on that mountain

I thought that was a decent fight, what was really awful was the final fight between the two where Oliver kills him with his own move, and in the actual cut scene he doesn't even stab him, he misses, but it made it into the cut.

I don't want this shitty show to ruin my waifu.
>>
>>83171073
>How do you actually fix this show?

Some instant fixes that wouldn't change much characterization:
* ACTUALLY WRITE THE GODDAMN FIGHT SCENES. Arrow's fight scenes have been lowpoints throughout this season, and it's clear the writers just say "...and now the team fights the goons. Punch. Lots of kicks. And the team is victorious."

* Take the 24 route, and plot out the season in smaller arcs that *eventually* lead to the big bad, rather than having the bad guy brood evilly for 23 episodes.

* With above, make flashbacks tie into the episode more. A simple way, without changing anything in the show -- MORE flashbacks, less present-time stuff. I know, I know, it doesn't make sense, but it's much better than having the flashbacks be these small, jarring detours.

* Destroy the Arrowcave. For good. No replacements or anything like that. The team has to actually meet in and hang around Star City.

* Limit Felicity's computer usage by a large amount. She can use it to set things up, but she's no longer the unstoppable "i can brush the president's teeth with my hacking!" piece of crap that she was before. Any and every hideout/lair this season will have no technology at all.

---
Character-based writing solutions:

* Develop Star City more. As a living breathing city itself, it should have an actual identity. We rarely see any small, particular bits of it, and I think it's because every other fucking DCCW show is in Vancouver now. This, mind you, is something that The Flash has also struggled with this season.

* Develop Star City CITIZENS more. The show shouldn't just revolve around the heroes and their villains. The stakes don't matter at all if the people within these cities are unseen and unheard 99% of the time. Anywhere from a quarter to a half of every season should feature case-of-the-weeks about citizens.

* No more character drama resulting from lies. Period. If that's impossible, go the Jane The Virgin route and have people rationally react to lies.

If they use the Flash's finale to wipe it clean and incorporate it into Flashpoint, then maybe. But they won't and clearly aren't.

And while she is telling off everyone (including Malcolm Merlyn and Ra's al-Ghul) and Oliver and Diggle are getting on each other for bullshit, nobody ever tells Felicity off.

My only hope is Felicity has some sort of huge mental breakdown, maybe caused by Ollie accidentally killing her mother, which causes her to become a villain Ollie must face. He not only loses a friend and the team's tech expert, Felicity also becomes a real and valid antagonist.

Well, you could start by just going to check out Rebirth. There's a storytime thread still up for it I think since it just came out this week. That's where I read it.

That's because Thea and Diggle are actually leaving the show. Neither of them are part of the cast next season. They're literally jumping ship. I would not be surprised if Paul Blackthorne is leaving too since Lance really doesn't serve a purpose anymore without Laurel and Sara, but nothing has been announced. Merlyn needs to go too, and has long outlived his usefulness, yet I doubt they'll ever kill or get rid of him for whatever reason.
>>
>>83173277
>So Rebirth is a good starting point to start reading comics?

Yes, in a LOT of ways. You kind of need to be aware of some references (i.e. Legion of Super-Heroes and their insignia; Pandora having a mysterious role in the beginning of the New52, but who wasn't actually used for anything big; right before the Pandora page, you see Damian Wayne, Jessica Cruz, and Jackson Hyde) -- although, when I say "aware", I literally just mean "a google search is enough to get the gist".

Beyond that, it's very friendly to anyone who only has knowledge from the DCCW shows.

It's basically a jumping off point for anyone and everyone who wants to read DCU comics going forward -- simultaneously, it gives a little bit of incentive to go back and read stuff related to the easter eggs (for example, this is probably DC's biggest advertisement for Watchmen we've seen yet).

Rebirth is a great spot, pretty much everything you need to know is explained in the issue. Then when all the series start coming out with new #1's in the coming weeks pick a character you're interested in and pick that up.

>>83173494
Because then entire show now revolves around her.

When she's on-screen everyone wants to know how she feels, or the show shows us how things effect her. When she's off-screen characters are talking about her and/or how things effect her. She's basically become the main character at this point. She's constantly saving the day (like the main character would) she's constantly telling people what they should do (like the main character would) all the other characters look to her for advise/answers (like the main character would)

People really aren't joking when they say the show has become Felicity and Friends featuring Arrow.
>>
>>83173734

See, I get that, but that doesn't really justify the hate boner new /co/ and reddit has about her.

The only actual argument I have ever seen about why Felicity is bad has always devolved into fuckwads tumblr/twitter shitlords trying to push "Olicity" garbage which while dumb, was never enough for me to jump on the hate bandwagon.

Especially when there's characters who deserve way more shit like Laurel.

The Arrow writers are pretty smart. They unwittingly tapped into the market of nerdy dork slightly fat girls who want to date Chads like Stephen Amell. It's classic viewer superhero fantasy but instead of dorky teen boys and men wanting to be Green Arrow it's chubby girls imagining they're Felicity. Clever really and funny no one did it before. It's gonna run forever and be huge. Probably get a lot of copycats too.

>>83170188
>None of the characters are that likable

They fucking were. Remember when Felicity was cute and quirky but not too annoying, always putting her foot in her mouth and fawning over Oliver while trying to bring some optimism into his Batman brooding? Remember when Diggle was keeping him stable, making sure our hero didn't murder all of his problems away while having his own romantic arcs that weren't overbearing? Remember when everyone was annoyed by, and then despised Laurel, but it all built around to a real character arc with her becoming stronger and more enjoyable? Remember when Lance was doing things that weren't Felicity's mom?

This show used to have things going on. Then everyone turned into a massive hypocrite in season 3 and fell asleep for most of season 4.
>>
>>83174071

There's not really a bias though, like I can totally see the downsides and I agree with a lot of the complains about felicity, but I still don't get why people think she's the absolute worst thing on the show when she's far from it

laurels not the worst thing on the show either but she's definitely worse that felicity in pure terms of character development and writing

but it seems people's complaints are less about her as a character and more about her getting too much spotlight and being a macguffin which I get and agree with

It's just a mixed signal because posts seem to be half "this show might as well be the felicity fun time hour" and half "fuckgin WORST CHARACTER OH MY GOD" type stuff
>>
>>83174026
I also hate the hacking and computers solving fucking everything. And this season, half the show was her circle of her acquaintances. Her mom, her dad, her gay coworker, her company that she got from fucking a not actually dead guy, her ex suddenly showing up.

She's not the only problem this show has but probably the one with the most screen time. References to her in the Flash are also unnecessary and laughable.

As much as you dislike this, it's still a valid complaint, especially for us who are fans of the source material and didn't tune in to watch this soap opera shit.

Thing is though, the show has been trying for a while now to tell us that we're NOT the audience for them. They're happy with Oliciters.

It's just this season that sealed that for myself and finally got the message.
>>
>>83174167
Except it makes no sense for unattractive fat women to latch onto a woman that looks like her. I mean, that's not really a valid self insert because she could easily, based purely on looks, potentially get a man that looks like him in real life. And I don't even find her attractive personally, it's just objectively speaking. Her being their self insert is ridiculous. But whatever, let those idiots have this garbage, it's too far gone and I don't care anymore, I'm done watching so if it continues to get worse I'm certainly not going to be there to see it.

No, I'm not.

I endured two seasons of utter tripe and I was convinced I'd slog through another because I still had hope they could turn it around. For an episode about hope, they've destroyed all of mine. I am beyond despondent. I don't even know what I just watched, I'm fucking stunned. Who wrote this? Who approved it? Who nodded along during the table read? I have never seen a show so thoroughly destroy itself.

This episode confirmed every terrible thing I knew in my heart to be true, yet held out despite all logic and sanity. It's not even that they're writing for a different audience now. This show is bad. I mean truly awful. This is Leonard Part 6 bad. Every single person who made this should be blacklisted from the industry, and every person who enjoyed it should be quarantined and studied.

I am insulted that the CW decided to waste an hour of my life on this drivel. They should've buried the tapes in the desert and issued an apology to everyone who was even near a television tonight.

Do whatever you want next season, I don't care.

It's the scandal that led in to "Gamergate." It's called Five Guys (Burgers and Fries) because the harlot in question fucked five guys in the gaming industry to get her crappy non-game good reviews. It led to a lot of shit with the gaming journalism industry, corruption therein, and a general lack of understanding of how the modern world works vs the old methods of manipulating thought through the media.

But at it's core it is one manipulative woman who (while in a relationship) slept with five men and one woman to get good reviews and awards for her video game.

Easily. And I don't say that lightly. And it's going to unless DC/WB gut the entire production team, writers, directors, etc and change the show from the ground up as a response to the almost unanimous hate this season and finale got. Which isn't likely.

>>83174513
Affleck's solo Batman is more likely to take the reserved October 2018 date than the November 2019. 2018 is gonna have Marvel's Infinity War part 1, Ant-man and the Wasp, and Captain Marvel. WB/DC will have Aquaman and Flash that year, so I'm betting WB/DC wants Batman around to try and keep things somewhat comparable.

We probably won't get that announcement until after Suicide Squad's release. And the casting for Affleck's solo Batman won't come till 2017 Comic-Con.

The flashbacks have been pathetic since season 3. They last for maybe a minute a scene, and usually take the whole episode to get a minor idea across. The overarching plot of season 3 led up to the doomsday device of the main plot, but the flashback plot of season 4 only tied in to the main plot in that magic was involved. None of the characters were developed enough to matter, the motivation not to kill Oliver was almost non-existent, and the bait-and-switch at the start was almost cruel. If they're not going to do a good job with the flashback plot then they should commit more to giving other characters flashbacks, since they've done better with that.

>>83175150

Season 3's has it's moments honestly. I think it gets a bum wrap for being off the island but it wasn't all bad. Ollie's relationship with the Yamashiros was great and I at least felt something when Akio died.

Season 4? It's like they just threw shit into the scripts at last minute with no planning. Like there was no way they planned on Dahrk's idol being on the island. None of it felt planned. I would be willing to bet the original plan was for Ollie to be a homeless bum in Coast City or maybe even going to Russia but the whining about him being off the island kind of screwed it over.

But was it?

Magic didn't even do anything past revive Sara and honestly they could have done that regardless.

It was utterly worthless and we had a magic-themed season that was so devoid of DC's magic portion of the universe.

Vixen is the character you guys decided to use in your magic season? Even if the entire Zatara family was off limits you couldn't use Xanadu? Or Nightshade? Or maybe even Blue Devil?

Did you just not give a shit?

I could make the same complaint about season 3. You did a season featuring the league and you really didn't use any high-ranking League members or even try to go into their lore past the shallow crap.

This. It was seriously pathetic. I haven't watched all 23 episodes mostly cause I'm not masochistic but only Vixen and Constantine showed? Really? That's damn sad, you have 23 hours of footage to expand on the damn DC universe filled with all kinds of magicians and sorcerers and you waste everyone's time with, "OLLIBURRR I CANT HANDLE YOUR LIES ANYMORE OLIBURR"

Even the injustice comic handled that magic year much better.

I dropped Arrow about right after the midseason break this season, is it worth it to watch the finale to see how ridiculous it is?

The episodes after that midseason finale are rough up until Laurel dies. After that it's a bit better and then this episode just kind of soiled it. Especially since the episode before it was pretty hype.

We got a magician chick in a casino in one episode, but it wasn't her.

Funny how this season had glimpses of drifting into being good, always interrupted by, who else. Oliver gives the most emotional speech for his son who he may potentially never see again, interrupted by Felicity. Ollie faces the darkness in his mind, a montage of all the horrible things that have happened to him...culminating in Felicity dumping him, at which point magician lady thinks Ollie has TOO MUCH DARKNESS IN HIM.

I remember who was the actual light in Ollie's life. I think it was the girl he hoped to return to every day while spending five years in hell, what was her name? Laurel something?
>>
>>83171073
Since we're already stealing from Batman at this point, introduce Red Hood/Jason Todd in the show as played by Jensen Ackles and have him put up with absolutely none of Felicity's shit. Make him as much a pipeline from the people bitching about her online to the show as possible.

Basically just go whole hog and take a shit on the character.

That shit genuinely made me rage. He lost both of his fucking parents, his first love, his best friend, and never got to raise his son. Being dumped by a mediocre looking cunt doesn't even come close to making the list. But of course the 16 year old girls and obese Felicishitters that the writers aim for would actually believe such a thing.

Meg and Benny were my favorite side characters, hands down.

Shame about Meg, but the actress has MS and it was getting difficult for her to do the show.

I wish they didn't kill the character off, but I loved Rachel's Meg a lot. I didn't think they could surpass the original Meg, but she made it her own.

I dropped off about 5-6 episodes ago, but the fight scenes were absolutely one of the worst parts of this season.

Ollie has been training for years. He's taken down Merlyn, gone toe-to-toe with an enhanced Slade Wilson, defeated motherfucking Ra's al Ghul, but he still struggles on random henchman number 6? I understand they don't want Ollie walking around like an unstoppable murder machine, but you can't have him matched by just anyone.

Similarly, how does someone like Anarky consistently fight against someone like Thea, who was trained by one of the best LoA members out there? Shit makes zero sense.

Yeah I would have absolutely loved to see her still on the show with her snark and ability to get under the boys' skins.

I know some folks made fun of her weight gain (product of the medication) but she seems like such a great person irl, and I was glad to see she made it to a con recently and was well received by fans.

Kinda broke my heart when she said on record that she didn't like going to cons because she didn't want her fans to see her in her condition.

But yeah Meg 1.0 + 2.0 and Ruby 1.0 were the best female characters to me

I would say Laurel is way better in character development and writing.

I'll fully admit Laurel was annoying as hell, but at least she went through some shit. We saw her dealing with her sister's death, her descent into alcoholism (including Ollie absolutely tearing her a new one for acting like a bitch), her annoying stupid shit trying to be black canary (which she had to actually get her ass kicked to get to).

Felicity simply showed, was funny at first, and then became the god of the show in s3 when she was the primary love interest. Half of the back end of s3 was just her crying, and s4 was her being upset with any lie Oliver told (aka hey I have a secret child that I had very valid reasons for keeping you in the dark about), but is NEVER actually called out for it.

The funny part is that they weren't half bad the last two episodes. That is until they went full retard with the melee.

And Felicity's "arc" culminates with her murdering an entire city with a nuclear weapon without even so much as a hint of guilt or slap on the wrist. And her fans are genuinely ok with it, basically having forgot it happened just as quickly as the rest of the characters on the show.
