Except it was Moira who was killed by Slade, while Sara still died (a bit later in the S3 premiere).
Btw, reading the comments on that post reminded me of the good old times, when Olicity was just a fan expectation/theory. I wish I could time travel back to 2014 just to relive those times.
Not all of these were just theories. Roy becoming Arsenal was hinted within the story. Laurel becoming Black Canary was said by the writers, and the fact that Sara was Black Canary at the moment meant she had to die to free the title. Although there were so many other ways to pass a mantle and death was already a repetition for Sara, I think people expected Arrow to kill her because this was writers technique to use death as shock value or motivation.
Oliver is mayor in the comics, but I guess Moira didn't need to die for him to become one, this is not a monarchy, so I guess Moira dying was a theory. Merlyn coming back was also hinted, I guess saving Thea was easy guess because Thea is based on Emiko and Mia from the comics, and she turns against Oliver.
Oh I know that. Laurel and Roy are literally Black Canary and Arsenal in the comics.
But first two seasons were very real world-like, that's why a lot of people couldn't imagine characters like Laurel and Roy (at that time) donning a costume and becoming full-fledged vigilantes like Oliver.
But introduction of Barry and Mirakuru (and later hacking, superpowers, multiverse etc) changed everything.
Sara didn't die at the hands of Slade she died (at the time of the flashback) more because of Oliver and slades spat between brothers but god Slade killing her in the present would have been way better then Slade killing moira
I recall following theories.
1. **Tommy as EarthX Prometheus** *(Prometheus at the beginning of Arrow S5 was speculated to be Tommy, either resurrected or doppelganger, who wdisastrousbeen angry at Oliver for causing Laurel's death in S4)*
2. **Oliver-Kara Pairing on Earth-X** (Super-Arrow ship was a troll\*-trend on this sub after the disastrous execution of Olicity in S4 and nearly killing the show. This was started just to piss off Olicity fans, but the show actually did this during the cross-over which was totally out of the blue)\*
3. **The "Toilet Seat" reveal in StarLabsPipeline** *(It was a running joke and query since S1 of The Flash, because people really wanted to know about where the captive metas used to do their business, lmao)*
4. \*\*ReverseFlash (almost) killing Felciity (*Another popular joke was to have a supervillain, either Slade or Reverse Flash, kill Felicity during the crossover. And Reverse Flash almost did it during the crossover and even said that "From where I come from, No One Has Ever Head of a Felicity Smoak".* *(ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snq4U5HzyAc)*
5. **The Double Wedding** *This was a demand from a certain section of the audience that WestAllen and Olicity should have a double wedding during one of the crossovers, and they did it during Crisis on EarthX. It also also gave us the cringiest scene across the entire Arrowverse)*
6. **WestAllen's Kid from the Future attending Barry-Iris´s wedding** *(This was a popular theory and a very comic-booky expectation from the show since quite the beginning. )*
Except Sara didn’t die at the hands of Slade, Oliver became mayor independently of Moira’s death, and Roy was pretty much set to become Arsenal already.
That's scary accurate 💀💀
Exactly my thoughts!

I mean Sara “died” due to Slade during the flashbacks. She didn’t actually die but Oliver thought so. Maybe counts? Idk lol
oh yeah, that's one way to look at it. :D

Arrow came out before Emiko made her debut
So I guess the show was predictable and with fanfiction level of writting.

A little bit accurate and scary đź’€.
Arrow writers when a fan posts something on the internet: "hey write that down"
Especially during the crossover events. I remember during Crisis on Earth X, they incorporated so many fan-theories that it was beyond ridiculous.
Could you explain a little bit and give me a few examples? I'm interested

I think you missinterprit the post. He is just listing a bunch of examples, the OP of that post doesn't think they won't come true.
Stumbling into being correct is still being correct.
