I've been catching up on this show, finally and goddamn did it get bad. It started out so well. You have failed this omelette. Now my brain is an incoherent rage of that's how not computers work! that's not how corporations work! that's not how nukes work! That's not how any of this works! Goddamnit Arrow how come you don't understand what it is that's good about your show? Give me more smug Neal McDongough. Give us more fun Ollie, and more shooting jerks who Failed This City. Less whiny interpersonal drama about LYING and LIARS WHO LIE. Put all the lying and EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT in a box and bury it on that stupid island and stop having flashbacks to that island because the only really interesting part about it was that Ollie didn't actually spend his entire five years on the island. Unless we're gonna have more Manu because I can always get behind it.

You guys all asked for more Felicity back in season one. Some of you even wanted them together. You are the real antagonists of season four.

Well the flashbacks are supposed to show and chart the journey of frat boy Oliver Queen into the one we see at the start of the show. After that we're done with them, short of any other flashbacks during the course of the show that happened offscreen but those aren't related to the Oliver island flashbacks ever anyway. It's just that this season's flashbacks don't even try to make island Oliver any different from current day Oliver except at least Felicity isn't on the island.

Also can we talk about how loving lovely Malcolm's fake hand is? Like they literally could've just hand go Luke Skywalker and wear a glove BUT NOPE ITS GOTTA LOOK LIKE poo poo. Or just have Neal McDonough give him a new hand with magic. We literally have magic now please use it to reduce spare your budget. Seriously. Save a few bucks in the prop department and just be like "new hand? magic."

Rhyno posted:This almost happened. But the SS film kind of killed that. In the worst way too. The actors they had for Waller, Deadshot and the others all seemed great. Cupid as a stand-in for Harley would've been acceptable and it would be a great playground to put away captured villains without having to have the heroes in the other series kill them off. If they're unpopular, they're either killed in SS or never seen again. More than that, they get a recurring on SS. If they're really popular like Snart or Merlyn, they can show up in the main series from time to time but still be tied to the Squad without it being so unrealistic that they keep getting away because of the heroic no-kill rule. (Metas don't count because of budget and the Flash)

Snart sneaks into Darhke's underground facility to steal whatever and they can reuse sets for example.

In the opposite way, I never particularly loved the character and explicitly hoped she would never get with Oliver. I thank the producers for justifying what was once irrational dislike.

So into the trash he goes!

Blaze Dragon posted:It can, it just doesn't, especially any time either Smoak is on screen. And to think they fell into that kind of cast before. nooneofconsequence posted:Then they should try doing that! poo poo. I thought this was the Legends of Tomorrow thread. In my defense, the cast (or most of it anyways) CAN make it entertaining and endearing. Just not Felicity. And not with how they're writing it now. Curtis is basically what made Season 1/2 Felicity fun, Quentin is good, Oliver CAN be fun when they actually let him do something other than angst and melee fight with a loving bow. Even Thea and Diggle are good when used properly. Felicity has just been completely useless poo poo for the last two seasons and MommaSmoak went from fun to have as a guest star to completely loving insufferable in the course of a single episode. Meanwhile Dhark and Merlyn have actors that can chew up scenery and ham it up with impunity but are easy to have overstay their welcome. Malcolm should have been dead by now, especially when he spent half the season literally couch surfing in his daughter's apartment, and if Dhark somehow lives out the season after nuking a drat city I really don't know what the gently caress. I just kind of want this show to go back to Oliver murdering the gently caress out of people, Diggle Diggling, Thea Speedy'ing, and we can have Curtis as not-poo poo Felicity 2.0. Just airlock the Smoaks and for fucks sake drop some bodies somewhere so poor Lance has something to do. Maybe have Barry drop off Earth-2 Laurel and just yell "good luck suckers!" as he runs off.

I've been a big Felicity supporter from the get go, but what they should do is dump her on Legends of Tomorrow. She can take over the job of that crappy AI they copied from the Jaguar game Cybermorph and she can just hang out on the ship all day doing technobabble garbage. Don't let her date Palmer again though, every time he says or does something stupid the rest of the crew can look at her and she can feel embarrassed that she was ever with him.

They haven't really dropped any hints for next seasons threat yet have they? This time last season they had already mentioned Damien Dark (not spelling it however it's supposed to be spelt) a couple times and made it pretty clear he was gonna be a thing. Maybe it's time to bring back Grundy, all that magic going around would be just the perfect thing to bring back a crazy, super strong, dead dude.

Judging by the context of those pictures, he ends up revealing his identity to the city and they miraculously join forces with him to defeat Darhk with the power of public opinion.

Well, there might be some confusion as to how they're going to go. Supergirl is moving to CW, and has already crossed over with Flash, and might get moved over to the same universe. That'd give them 4 shows to manage if Legends is renewed, which I haven't bothered to look up because that show is aggressively bad.

I just watched last week's episode. I... I think I need some time to digest this... hacking (?) scene... holy loving poo poo.  What is it with the Flash and the Arrow as of late? The Flash season 2 sucks poo poo with bipolar drama lama's, and the Arrow isn't much better. Who are they trying to appeal with this bullcrap? Thank god Legends was spared a lot more of this and generally focused on stupid fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR42DKbfZww&t=33s Batham fucked around with this message at 23:00 on May 23, 2016 |

Batham posted:The Flash season 2 sucks poo poo Oh, thank God it's not just me thinking this! 'Flash' has been extra stupid this season, and I'm trying to figure out what show people are watching that I'm apparently missing. I thought 'Legends' was really fun overall, but a bit messy in places. Here's hoping that all of the shows get ironed out next season, but I really doubt it at this point. Oh well, I've stuck with 'Arrow' since the beginning, so I'll finish it out. I honestly don't even think 'Arrow' is actually as bad as other fans are saying it is. Laurel has been treading water forever, and her death wasn't really that big a loss. I do agree that Felicity needs to go, or at least revert to a more fun character like before.

All three DC shows have been unmitigated disasters this season. Flash and Legends had their highlights and fun moments (mostly thanks to the actors) but the same can't be said for Arrow.
