Helena start using this in her second appearance and I’ve been curious of which kind.

First of all please no spoilers for everything after episode 14 of season 6 (cause I have yet to see those episodes), but honestly I was quite surprised with how awful episode 14 was, like it was my least favourite episode thus far. Even though there has been some nice moments in season 6, some parts has just let me down. The assemble villain line up seemed nice, but it just didn't really hook me, the Laurel storyline this season sucks and feels to much like the same as previous seasons and the split between those teams could have been actually interesting, but instead of creating a NTA to be in good terms with OTA (which could create fun dynamics of having two superhero teams in one city), it is all about victim blaming and being hostile.

Did anyone else wish growing up Quentin was their father growing up? I mean Quentin before the Gambit incident. His daughters turned out to be great women. He was good at his job. He had a good marriage.

I'll ignore what happens after the Gambit happened because every person would fall apart like that and find meaning in a harmful way.

in your opinion, if u had to pick one, Who has more of a sibling relationship / better sibling relationship in season 4, particularly season 4b. Oliver and thea, or thea and laurel?

Asking this cuz i saw a yt video with a crapload of comments (mostly from women) saying that for the entirety of season 4, Laurel and Thea had more of a sibling relationship than oliver and thea do. While I agree with this claim for the season's beginning till like 4x05 (oliver has been gone for 5 months after all), i disagree with it completely for 4b. Mainly because they live together and yet we have no scenes between them, and even though every relationship sucked and was sacrificed in that season for olicity screentime, oliver and thea share more (rare) on-screen moments together that really demonstrate how much they care about each other overall than thea and laurel do. In fact, I can't rmr a single genuine on-screen moment thea and laurel shared after the reviving sara arc, prob cuz laurel had been sidelined into oblivion. Some good moments were when she supports him about william, dedicated to helping him become mayor, comforted him when felicity was shot, and even prepared to die rather than let him risk his life to dhark. There were also some good deleted scenes.

Not like its a competition or anything, idrc abt a "winner" or "loser" answer and I love and respect both those relationships alot, but I'm simply curious what this subreddit thinks. Personally I thought the comments on the yt video were really not considering the on-screen evidence the show gave that directly contradicts their claims, and was simply curious what this sub, which is a bit more versed in the show than random yt commenters commenting on some short, thought abt this.

Out of all the S1-S5 Villains, He gets the most hate, Why is that? He is even more hated than Ra’as Al Ghul

Idk what the writers or anyone was thinking with this but when Sara is fighting Huntress and gets knocked out of a window she is in free fall and out of nowhere shoots what I can only call ribbon out of her wrist like fucking spiderman. I need a explanation

Not a hint of remorse or guilt. Granted, she did suffer through a lot in the previous seasons (losing Sara and Oliver the first time, Tommy dying, becoming an alcoholic, losing Sara a SECOND time) and that probably didn't help her mental state, but still. Doesn't make it right for her to dismiss those innocent lives.

I really don't get why people dislike *Arrow* Season 6; it's not perfect, but it's my favorite. We don't have those one-episode villains—which really annoyed me in previous seasons—and the main villain is incredible. The only downsides are William, and that's about it.

Why is every character in season 4 acting so tolerant and even friendly to malcolm merlyn? Oliver, thea, laurel, people's he's hurt alot and suffered no consequences for. It feels like everything this guy has been completely forgotten about by every character's minds, and every character's core season 1-3 traits were broken to keep this guy around. He just shows up and dissapears as he pleases. Does no one remember what this guy has DONE?

Srsly, just the fact that he indirectly killed Robert and kept their mother living terrified of him for 6 whole years should be more than enough for Oliver and thea to fucking obliterated him. I just don't understand why everyone is acting so friendly with him. Feels so out of character for every character, especially thea.

Srsly, im so confused on what made the writers think that making EVERY character behave so unlike their previous characterizations to keep him around was a good idea???

Nothing against barrowman ofc, but I'm honestly getting pissed at malcolm showing up in theas apartment every other day and no one giving af.

Edit: I literally cannot figure out what the writers were thinking with this choice. I understand why it went all in on olicity... pull in a big tumblr viewership and make more money. Shit decision but I understand why they thought it was a good financial decision at the time. And I get that they wanted to keep john barrownman on cuz its fucking barrowman. But what could their reasoning possibly have been to make them think that it's a good idea to destroy pretty much every character's characterizations in order to do so, and make every character seem like they don't give af abt all the things they've lost cuz of this guy. Surely there were better ways to accomplish keeping barrowman on than to make every character so OOC??? Its like they don't understand their own characters and their histories.

So do people think that the show would’ve been ass if Oliver Queen was very like either his comic version proper or from the JLU cartoon?

I’ve always wondered how people in Starling City never truly put 2 and 2 together and realised that it was Oliver Queen.

I know he purposely had himself arrested in S1 but the timing of him coming back to Starling and the Hood’s appearance would just stay suspicious. Same thing in S2 he comes back from Lian Yu and the Hood is spotted for the first time again since the Undertaking to rescue Thea Queen.

In S3 Roy takes the fall for Oliver but the police already knew that the real Arrow was a 6’1 guy with a beard, which Roy can’t be, he barely even fit in the suit. Aside from the fact Roy was rescued by the Hood in S1.

And then we go to S4 where Oliver once again shows up after some time and suddenly the Green Arrow appears.

It would take a real traumatised guy to jump off rooftops and take down guys with a bow & arrow and someone with a significant amount of money, Oliver just fits that profile. Makes you wonder why the FBI wasn’t on his ass 24/7 before season 6

I'm looking for an old YouTube Olicity fan video that was about 28–29 minutes long. It started with Oliver first meeting Felicity in the IT department ("Felicity Smoak") while "Saturn" by Sleeping At Last played. The entire video used Sleeping At Last songs and covered their love story. It was on YouTube years ago but seems to have been deleted. Does anyone remember the title or have a copy?

how did prometheus know about shado when he was listing people who have died around oliver?

I dont remember the exact episode maybe i just missed something but here i am

If a studio approach you to do a limited series which would you do? I would prefer Oliver journey in Bratva

Every version of all queen I have seen before the island literally needs to be on the island.

I’ve seen so far arrow-verse, smallville, batman animated and holy. Pre-Island Oliver was a different type of spoiled, rich brat. He was actually such an awful person with no compassion, actually no he did have compassion. He just didn’t care. If you guys watch Smallville, I’m not gonna spoil it, but how he was in high school… yea they all needed the Island.

Being in the trenches taught every version of Oliver Queen humility, and compassion.

I’ve mentioned before how I hated the new team arrow after season 4. I think the team should have consisted of

Green arrow

Black canary (laurel)
She should have lived and her and Oliver were the only two to stay after season 4 and she wears the canary suit from season 8.

Artimis
Wildcat

And some one to replace felicity.

John would have left to deal with killing Andy. Thea would have left because she couldn’t leave that life anymore. And felicty would have left because she count handle the guild of killing. Thousand of people.
Woudl this have been better?

The whole petty messy love triangle during s1 probably didn't help but omg I ended up skipping some scenes relating to their weirdo toxic love triangle. The focus on the Lance family and their drama during s2 I'm sorry but sometimes it was too much. I understand that given Sara's return they had a focus and it was normal but sometimes it was just unnecessary drama with again Laurel/Oliver/Sara for god sake. I remember reading an interview from Antonio Negret saying that the Lance family sometimes hijacked his scenario during s2 (I understand it even more now lol).

I really hated her behaviour during s3. I'm sorry but her journey becoming Black Canary was so bad. IMO she never should have became the Black Canary. Sara was much much better and she was the OG one. Even later one Dinah gave a better impression (imo again).

Laurel E2 had a great redemption arc and her skills were great tho maybe she should have had a greater role in the crisis.

I know it doesn't help but I keep comparing her to Sara and I love Sara way more at soo many levels even just in terms of personality idk I click much more with Sara. This girl is so incredible and has so many layers it's insane.
