They should have made it that he returns because he can't stand the civilian life with Felicity.

Throw that whole thing under the bus forever.

I am going to disagree here. Keep it, if you can mature both characters a little bit to be normal(ish) adults in a relationship. Ollie can still have issues. Plus I think it's good for the show to not have to follow the comics.

So Felicity and Mr. Terrific are throwing around what looked like prototype T-Spheres at one point in the trailer. That makes me excited.

As long as we're together we can't avoid "Come back alive" while music plays softly in the background scenes whenever Ollie goes up against a threat.

I like that they're apparently putting Constantine in this show (I saw him in the trailer). The show was pretty mediocre but the main guy was great.

The spoilered bit is the thing I'm most interested in out of the trailer. That, and Nyssa apparently dueling Malcolm. Trouble in paradise, eh? Darhk's whole thing just seems overplayed, though. Three seasons of imminent destruction on Star City has made the whole, 'let it die' bit passe. Is it wrong that I want the season-wide arc to take a back seat?

Of course, I just don't think it's news. Pretty common knowledge that Sara is the White Canary in that Legends of Tomorrow show and that she got pitted back to life.

That trailer definitely seems like a response to people wishing S3 was less drama/sad Arrow and more action, and I'm ok with that.

Someone went through the trouble of editing Felicity out of the trailer.

In Katie Cassidy's case it was way more that her character had nothing to do, was useless, and had terrible lines more than anything.

I know, though, that I made a comment on one of her workout pictures because the angle it was taken made it look like she had toothpicks for legs. Like the photo looked weird.

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

No I get people not liking the character that season, I think that's totally justified. I'm just saying that you never get comments like dorito face and all that poo poo when it's a male character people don't like.

Then there was the weird conspiracy theory bullshit about how she's never in any Instagram photos or anything with the rest of the cast so they must not like her (like the smart people pointed out, it was likely because at the time her character was isolated from them and so she probably didn't shoot with the rest of the cast.) People were projecting disliking the character onto the actress. The thread really was creepy about it.

Last season really damaged Felicity for me. I think the writers gave the actress really little to work with except be sad and angry at the same time, and it was painful to watch The new trailer didn't include any of that, but it's going to take a series of strong episodes for me to forget the rough patch of mid to end season 3.

I'm sure people talked about her change of appearance in sexist ways, but she looked dramatically different from season 1 to season 2. Noting that alone isn't sexist.
