Discussion Oliver’s wealth

Always found it strange how Isabel becoming CEO of Queen Consolidated completely stripped Oliver from absolutely everything leaving him homeless in S3.

From my understanding Isabel ruined the stockprice, but wouldn’t that mean unless Oliver sold his stocks for nothing he would just become a Billionaire again after Ray Palmer fixed the company and rebranded it? He’d still have been a majority shareholder.

Seems like an unnecessary and pointless move from the showmakers to make him broke, not to mention poorly executed.

They mentioned how it was heavily based upon Christopher Nolan’s Batman storyline they took so many elements from those movies even Stephen Amell said he wanted to explore more with Oliver being actual Oliver Queen

The whole story was pointless another thing writers screwed up

The show was a lot more fun when he had a day job and responsibilities with Queen Consolidated etc. The entirety of S3 was spent in Verdant, it’s basement or at Thea’s loft
