>After two years of Oliver and Felicity's relationship being a major plot driver on The CW's Arrow, showrunner Wendy Mericle told TVLine recently that Season Five will downplay that aspect of the series.

Will you give season 5 a chance, /co/?

Riiiiiight. Cant wait for more shitty flashbacks, Felicity saving the day, Oliver not shooting arrows, and more stolen Batman material. Seriously, Prometheus as an evil archer? Fuck off

I thought Slade was fantastic, though he could've stood to be more physically intimidating.

I dunno, Amell and Cassidy had a good rapport on screen, even if they made Laurel a bitch in S2.

Hey remember when ARROW:
>Was always shit but only now do people realize this
>When flashbacks became literally nothing and for some reason Oliver wasnt always on the island
>When Costantine collected a paycheck
>When magic was supposed to be a theme last season but did fuck all with it
>When Ras went full retard because Batman kept ignoring his calls and decided to stalk Oliver
>When the writers forgot about Solomon Grundy
>When Diggle became less interesting when he became a masked vigilante
>When the writers fucked over Black Canary twice
>When Felicity killed thousands of people and nobody cared
>When The Atom became not Iron Man
>When literally anyone could walk into the arrow cave
>When Merlyn became severely less interesting than his comic counterpart
>When they fucked up Count Vertigo twice and decided to drop him
>When Oliver stopped shooting arrows and started hitting bad guys with his bow
>When Guggenhack ripped off TDKR ending and somehow made it even dumber
>When Wildcat was briefly a thing
>When they killed off Waller and the Suicide Squad
>When Felicity became not Oracle and WB stepped in telling them to knock off that shit
>When CW offended disabled viewers because they treated paralysis like a bad cold
>When their best villain was made of bees and never spoke a line
Good times
>>
>>86135413
They also said last season would be more light hearted. Then followed up by making Felicity the light to combat the darkness in the hearts of evil.
>>
>>86138228

But we already knew he'd leave and join the Russian mob.

I'm still annoyed they couldn't get Liam Neeson to reprise the role again. I don't care if you have a schedule, you fucking make it work god damnit

Nope. Flash has enough good will plus a less bad fall to get me to watch next season.
Legends has made some promises to get a second chance.

Arrow used up ALL good will it had and then some, already made promises that fell flat and reached a low level of quality surpassing the others. Arrow is cut.

>I don't know, LoT was arguably worse than Arrow.

Rip Hunter was ten times worst then Felicity, even "nuking Havenrock" Felicity.

The "good" thing about being Mary Sue as at least you're competent at what you do, even if its absurd. Rip Hunter was just as insufferably egotistical and self-important as Felicity without any skill set whatsoever, he was a Zapp Brannigan-tier captain and he never got any better throughout the entire series.

I haven't hated a TV character like him since the scientist mom from Revolution. It got to the point where Rip would annoy me just by walking into frame.
>>
>>86138857
I would argue available that. But nonetheless they have said some promising things about fixing big problems from last season to get a chance. Arrow has already tried to play that card and fumbled.
>>
>>86135413

So, did there being a female showrunner coincide with the show going to shit?
>>
>>86138993
I wish he was Zapp Brannigan. Zapp may be a fuckup, but at least he's a funny and charismatic fuckup.

Main villain wasn't any better. I didn't think it was even possible to screw Vandal Savage up that hard.
>>
>>86135413
I fucking hope so.

It's literally their last chance.

Nah, as much as we'd all love to see it cancelled, it'll probably pull enough ratings for a sixth season, especially if they tease Olicity again.
>>
>>86139454
Someone should shop Sean Murray into this picture.
>>
>>86139080

Yeah, the show did nothing to convince me that powerful characters like Firestorm and Atom were needed to take down Savage. It always seemed like overkill.

I mean, Rip bested Vandal a few times in the show by himself.
>>
>>86139849
The fact that he's a boring villain with an awkward (wanted to say creepy at first, but that would've been a compliment) boner for Hawkgirl doesn't help either.

All they had to do was make him Xanatos with no redeeming qualities.
>>
>>86139849
>Firestorm
I hate how he's basically the human fucking torch on these shows. God forbid he actually mess with elements

It's not just Olicity anymore which is the problem.

It's just her in general, the over focus on her. Her family, her problems, and she's getting a new boyfriend so that'll eat up time to. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, HER FUCKING MOTHER IS STILL THERE AND SHE NEEDS TO FUCKING DIE

Nah man, it's the same tropes and situations played between different characters over and over again. There's no actual story. Just a series of set events repeating themselves. It also has the classic irritating keeping secrets for no reason to create drama because we can't write a story bullshit. I really tried to like this show

I've never given Arrow a chance, why would I start now?

I'm not even going to watch season 3 of Flash despite liking the show quite a bit in spite of its massive flaws. The finale of season 2 was a perfect series finale and all they can do with a season 3 and flashpoint is ruin it completely.

I gave up for all the Olicity garbage but seeing how now they are caving in to whiners I don't feel like watching it anymore. It shows they will just do anything to please people which is always a bad thing for shows.
>>
>>86145745
Sad part is I think the coordinator was being serious.

Even funnier is that the climactic final showdown they were bemoaning their lack of an Emmy for was just Arrow and some old fuck taking turns punching each other in the face like it's fucking Final Fantasy or something.

Help me
>>
>>86148379
Smallville was always a CW teen drama before it was a Superman origin story. Arrow started off at least seeming like a Green Arrow weekly series with CW tropes thrown in. Now there will be anons who say it was always CW shit because they can't handle emotional expression, or romance and just want more crime-fighting and action, but for those of us who can, Arrow really inverted itself, and became CW schlock first and foremost in S3. Yes, they expanded and developed the DC content and references, but I remember the main thesis of S3 being whether Ollie could be in a relationship if he remained Green Arrow, or could only do one or the other. That immediately drew what had been supplemental content and pushed it out to center stage in terms of what the show focused on. I don't mind romance in my shows, but when you betray the enjoyable character that Felcity had been, and remold her into an audience insert who gets upset at her superhero boyfriend for wanting to save the day instead of running off with her to cuddle, and take that character and make the show more about her than the character the show is named after, I am sorry, but I'm done. I gave Arrow half of a season after the abortion that was the S3 finale, to see if maybe they could right the ship, but they didn't. They've only replaced the writing talent that made the earlier seasons good with new writers that's probably be a better fit for Steven Universe than Arrow, and the product being broadcast proves it. Arrow is dead, anon. I respect your loyalty, but you'd be astonished how much more enjoyable it is to only see it's cast during crossovers, with other shows when they feel more like their old selves than they do on their actual show. When you are tempted to tune in on Wednesday in a couple of weeks, do yourself a favor, and just don't.

I swear, what don't you people understand about continuity? That would connect Arrow directly to the Nolanverse.

>>
>>86135413
No. Fuck no, why would I? I don't understand why anyone would go back to it when the creator straight up says "anyone who doesn't like what we're doing with felicity and oliver is a moron and a trump supporter."

>>86138540
>I'm still annoyed they couldn't get Liam Neeson to reprise the role again.
Fucking why? He was terrible. As horrible as season 3 was. At least the guy looked and acted like Ra's. I liked him a lot, way more than Liam.
>>
>>86150128
>He was terrible
He was much better than the bland fuck we got on Arrow.
>>
>>86150369
No, he wasn't. And the dude was only bland because the fuckawful writers wrote it so felicity walks all over him. The actor himself was great and the show ended when he stabbed oliver through the chest.
>>
>>86137810
I thought Prometheus was just a working name for him and he's not an adaptation of the one from the comics.

Bullshit it is. Just like they promised that last season was going to be light hearted and have an Oliver who acts like the Green Arrow. Then the first fucking episode ends with a preview of a main character death

The show was never good. I dropped halfway through season 1. It's always just been bad soap opera #7381253 with a superhero motif. Also, I guess I'm in the minority here, but I've never liked the choreography. It's nothing but cutaways, close ups, and random flips.
>>
This show was always mediocre, but the first season was watchable, then this thing become drama shit that dosen't feel like a superhero show anymore, i kinda feel bad for Amell the guy just wanted to be a superhero and now is a secondary character in his own show.
