So did Oliver watch his own funeral lmao ?

So technically as Oliver can see everything as he told John when he returned in Flash 9x09, he technically could have witnessed his own funeral when you think about it lol

He must have been proud of the legacy he left in people's mind. It's insane when you think about it but it's beautiful too

Black Siren/Black Canary E-2 Inconsistency

Black Siren’s development into Black Canary is one of my favorites in the Arrowverse, despite how dirty they initially did E-1 Laurel. But my biggest gripe with her was the inconsistency of her choosing not to kill. In season 6 and 7 we see her having inner turmoil about killing her opponents and eventually stops, but also in season 7, episode 18 “Lost Canary,” she’s still very much an accomplice to murder with Shadow Thief, and doesn’t seem to show much remorse. Not even a moment where she looks regretful about it, or tells Shadow Thief to lay off of the killing during their heist.

And then when we see her on Earth 2 as the new Black Canary, she’s shown using a pistol as opposed to her fighting skills. It just seems like a weird choice to go through after that development. I know Oliver goes back and forth on his killing/no killing rule, but his reasons for why get explored, and she doesn’t get much of an exploration there once she officially defects to a vigilante.

Just an observation.

Arrow was absolute green arrow before it was cool

When arrow s1 started, people were mad that Oliver was a killer, now people are excited that absolute green arrow is also a killer.

Oliver and his politics (or lack their of)

In season 1 he talks about how the club will gentrify the surrounding area, much to Diggle's (rightful) chagrin and then in season 4 he says the same thing about cleaning up Star City Bay. Is this just something the writers thought sounded smart?

The consensus on gentrification seems to be that it's bad (Only saying seems to be because most people I follow are pretty outspokenly left wing) and as a character that's supposed to be left-wing (He says he's an old school liberal in the comics but in my opinion given his arguments with Hal and Barry about them basically being cops who he despises, he's more left wing than a liberal), it's insane that Oliver would be supportive of a policy that prices people out of their homes and has very obvious issues that anyone can see and Season 4 would've been a great opportunity to talk about his politics but instead they just make him a centrist that's "not into politics".

I don't understand adapting this storyline when they're so scared of making him actually talk about his politics in the show beyond vague mentions, especially when it's actually a pretty big point of his character. But as I said they seem to be too scared to promote his more progressive view points for fear of alienaiting their more conservative viewers which just feels cowardly to me and I feel like they just shouldn't have adapted a storyline in which he runs for office but just didn't know what to do when he was trying to be more than just a vigilante and for the last season was jobless and even when he was CEO was basically Arrow 90% of the time.

How many times does Ray actually shrink?

Rewatching Arrow despite not really liking it all that much because of it's massive departure from comics but it's still a fun if slightly hate-watch, and I'm just thinking about how little Ray/Atom actually shrinks but I could be mistaken so I'm wondering how many times he actually shrinks

Also sorry for the not really relevant pre-amble.

Best villain in arrow

It’s not even close for me.
Adrian Chase is not only smart but a vicious killer.
And was the biggest challenges for Oliver
Bro even made him quit being the green arrow.
What do you think?

How long was he actually on the island for?

I assumed 2 years given the fact that Season One and Two take place on the island but in 2×14 Slade says he's been on the island for 264 days and he's implied to have been there a decent while longer than Ollie when they meet, so did I miss a line of dialogue explaining or no? But also it's pretty funny to go from "5 years on a deserted island" to not even a full year

The worst season so far

I'm currently rewatching the series for the second time, and I'm on the last episode of season 4, and, damn, was this season bad… Excuse me, but it's true. They killed off Laurel Lance's character only to bring her back as a main character in later seasons under the guise of Black Siren. The writers had already made a bad decision killing her character off… Felicity's decision to leave Oliver because he received an ultimatum was completely selfish. She says Oliver is a liar, but she's selfish too: she didn't care about how he might be feeling by hiding something so important from him. And on top of that, she leaves him the same day his son is kidnapped. She even watched the video Oliver was making for his son, so she clearly saw the pain in his eyes, but she still chose to leave him. Donna is the same: Quentin just lost his daughter, and yet she still manages to make everything about herself and her ex-husband, while Quentin is simply trying to get his job back after a lie that hurt no one, except perhaps her. In short, the most unbearable characters of the season!

This might be a controversial opinion but i think the deathstroke suit looks silly and has like no aura whatsoever compared to the comic version

I get what they were going for but it just looks so low budget but i know its a cw show tho.

Season 7 look

I don’t know why but personally after rewatching season 7 and seeing Oliver wear the suit without a hood or mask i wish he would have kept his prison look with the bigger beard looks more badass

S1 & S2 were fantastic . I was addicted to this show . Then Olicity happened. I gradually lost interest and when Laurel died I stopped watching all together. Did you ship Olicity ?

I honestly don’t know if I’m alone in this island . I still haven’t finished the show . I tried a rewatch and can’t get passed it .

Lances and Kidnappings

I'm rewatching Arrow and I'm in Season 2. I just occurred to me that the Lance Family is very prone to being kidnapped. Laurel is kidnapped like every 3rd episode, at least it feels like it.

Seriously how?
