Am I the only one who enjoyed Arrow when Oliver killed people?

I just think it made the show much more interesting, being the main character gray, an anti-hero.. Also, I think killing lines up really well with Oliver's development; he's been living a "kill or get killed" life for a whole 5 years, I find it weird that he suddenly changes that bc his dead friend disliked it.

I think that's the reason I'm finding it hard to continue watching S02?? Idk, I'm also very bad at being consistent on anything

League of Assassins

Am I the only one who thinks Oliver is passing up the opportunity of a lifetime not being the leader of the league of assassins? I mean, he even said that his followers don’t have to be killers

That thing that was said in 3x15…

…By Ras Al Ghul, “a tale to be told begins thus”, Is it a good idea for a tattoo ? lol I love these conceptual things, and this one is stuck with me, and I’ve wanted to do a tattoo for some time now, but didn’t found out anything that stood out (until now), so what do you guys think ?

Tech in Arrow

I think everyone is clear that the hacking in Arrow is garbage. But in season 5, it starts to annoy me.

Does it bother anyone else that the tech talk (mostly from Felicity and Curtis) usually doesn’t make any sense? For example, Felicity asks Curtis at his side job if he’s using Java or SQL. That’s like asking a driver if they drive a gasoline car OR a manual. Or the episode where 'the Internet almost gets deleted'… it reminds me a lot of an episode from another comedy series from 2006 where they made fun of people who believe things like that.

What's a hot take that about Arrow that would have you like this

Here's mine

  • Connor hawke should've been the green arrow in the future
  • Diggle should have stayed quarterbacking and not have gotten a costume
  • Having crisis on infinite Earth be about Oliver's death instead of Barry's ruined The flash
  • Oliver and Laurel should've been endgame (probably not a hot take I just wanted to add it.
  • Quentin Lance should've died in season 4

What Changes Would You Make To The Show? (Within Reasonable Measures)

What changes do you think would greatly improve the show, but things that could've easily been done, not a crazy rewrite. Here is mine:

  • Season 1: I would keep this the same, but Oliver didn't cheat on Laurel, they were simply never together because he thought she was too good for him
  • Season 3: No Olicity, Laurel and Oliver's chemistry grows
  • Season 4: Laurel would still die, but Oliver would be broken because he loved her
  • Season 6: Oliver would turn himself in because he feels like he failed him team after they died on the explosion (Thea, Diggle, and Slade survive though). This would basically be 7a. Oliver would have dreams about Prometheus haunting him (like in 6x18). His arc would be realizing he did good for the city and he wasn't all bad. The penultimate episode would be Slabside Redemption, and Oliver finally getting out of prison. The last episode would be the Emerald Archer documentary. After Oliver escaped prison, he donated a generous amount to making prisons better, and then he disappeared. The documentary will be the same, but end with the question, where is Oliver Queen now? The final scene would be Diggle giving Oliver a house from ARGUS off the grid similar to the S7 ending.
  • Season 7: The same as S8, but maybe no GA&TC episode just to keep the happy ending that Star City is finally saved.

This post isn't made to hate on the show, I just love rewrites and imagining other possibilities.

Oliver Queen

I think live action Oliver Queen is the best street tier fighter. Is there a person that can beat him in straight hand to hand combat nothing but hands?

In that Brave and The Bold crossover

That was pretty stupid how they felt Starling City suddenly seems more dangerous than Central City. What Cisco and Caitlin said about how “it’s all been a game” and how the metahumans having powers “makes everything less real” there is absolutely nothing fun how Barry nearly got beaten to death by a clone army, poisoned by a toxic gas meta, And also when he temporarily lost his speed, and the team had to struggle surviving against a psychopath with electric powers.

season 7 episode 22 has to be one of the best written episodes in the entire show

Evelyn

Idk but Evelyn could’ve been replaced or not on the show period lol. From the first time she showed up to being on the team, her acting just isn’t the best🤷🏾‍♀️

The tough girl face she tried to put on always looks like she’s smirking, this deep tough girl voice she uses is a bit annoying, the heavy deep breaths she takes before she talks kills me lol & her fighting isn’t the best🤷🏾‍♀️ I think they could’ve casted someone else or js let that first episode be the last one in my opinion.

Do you think Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin hate each other?

I'm asking because Grant is a Democrat and voted for Kamala, and Stephen strikes me as someone who is a Republican. He isn't following Kamala on Instagram, so do you think they hate each other? I can't imagine them getting along due to their political differences.
