Favorite season is 5 Least favorite moment was Evelyn Sharp. She was so angry about Oliver killing corrupt people that she teamed up with the mass murderer killing innocent people? Make it make sense


Major-Assumption-535

Don't get me started on Evelyn đź’€


Lizzy-Lover_10

When Chase “killed” her i actually cheered, although mostly because i didn’t expect them to actually kill anyone somewhat important

Favorite season: 2 negative: - killing Shado as motivation for Slade - Sara not sharing with Laurel what happened to her, the Lance sisters barely had screen time together that was not about Oliver - Felicity being jealous of Canary and basically drooling over Oliver being her only story


Major-Assumption-535

Felicity started her toxic endless arc in season 2 xD. I agred with you though, especially with the low screen time between Lance sisters! Killing Shado was a good move, but not for Slade's motivation, since he knew that Shado loved Oliver and his being jealous... I don't know... It didn't fit with him. But for the rest, I loved Slade's villain arc!

Even from 2x01 Felicity’s character was shifting quickly to what it became.


Major-Assumption-535

And she gets worse toward that same episode


Technical_Career_950

As a whole this shows how the writing wasn't very pro female characters. It revolved too much around Oliver and the female characters existed to revolve around Oliver and maybe that is why they became some misunderstood and unliked


Major-Assumption-535

This problem also implies consequences for other character like Slade itself


Technical_Career_950

True. Arrow villains were not well fleshed out too and had weak motivations of Oliver killed someone around them so they want to destroy him.  Another plot armor for their irrational behavior is - well they are psycho or they are on mirakuru.  But people still love the male villains regardless of the poor characterisation while the female love interests or even the female villains are hated.  But on the topic of the OP, Sara, Laurel, Felicity and so on- all beautiful interesting characters with so many potential of stories to be solely there to lust over Oliver is just bad. Why so many love interest in the first place even? And at the same time?  Having one love interest to exist there for the love story is enough. And yet I am sure people would have loved the love story more of this love interest had something more going on for her than Oliver. I guess that is why fro all of them Sara was the most enjoyable to watch while Laurel and Felicity were just tedious 


Major-Assumption-535

Agree. The villains could have been handled better. Especially with their backstories: writers should've tried to give more importance to the main villains, since they were the pillars with which all the season plots rotate. And for the love interest, agree with you also. Too many love interest through out the series, it's also irrealistic. In my opinion, Laurel should have been scripted better, and be the main love interest. It's absurd that during those five hellish years, Laurel was one of the miliar reasons of Oliver's extreme survival challenge to return home and fix things with her, just to throw everything away with other interestes, disconnected.

The gun episode. When your main character runs around maiming people with a bow and arrow, it’s probably best to leave that topic alone.


Major-Assumption-535

It was ambiguing as an episode, still pretty solid on certain points. Agree with you though on the logic.


Homer_J_Fry

Ironic that was the only episode I actually kind of liked and thought was decently well done in an otherwise dreadful season.


Lemon_Drop_Serenade

I love season 1 as well. And agree with the huntress. Her character was the weakest part of the season.


Major-Assumption-535

It was enjoyable, but weak compared to the rest of the storyline

Favorite Season: 2 Them saying Oliver chose Sara over Shado. He was just trying to jump in front of where the gun was pointed not because he was picking Sara. They kept saying it too. Probably one of the only problems in the best arrowverse season made


Major-Assumption-535

Shado's death was one of the main turning points of the season, yet sometimes, I wonder... Could have it been executed in a different way? Maybe even without using this as a motivation for Slade to become a villain.


bruvting33

I kinda wished Shado didn’t die but I’m glad it was the motivation for Slade becoming the villain. It really showed just how much mirakuru can warp the mind. But yeah there are so many what if’s to think of just based on Shado’s death


Major-Assumption-535

The mirakuru that warps the mind in several ways was one of the best points in the season. Using Shado's death as a motivation, in my opinion, worked in a pretty solid way with Slade having visions of her, but i just don't like the simple fact that Slade was only jealous. Something that gets easily passed anyway, from the rest of the season plot that I truly love: this solution in the end, comes pretty acceptable, although yeah, there a re a lot what if based on single events like this.


MissingCosmonaut

Season 5 is my favorite I won't say Evelyn because someone else already mentioned her, plus I don't mind her because she's hot but what I'll say is I totally skip over the episode where Oliver and Felicity are trapped in the bunker. Not because I don't like them being stuck there, but it makes the momentum of the season come to a screeching halt. It also doesn't even make sense for Adrian's motivations. Hasn't he planned the entire island as his final move? Why does he suddenly decide to trap Oliver to die in his bunker? It feels so unlike Adrian, especially because he seems like the kind of guy who wants to be present during Ollie's downfall. To watch him suffer. Trapping him in the bunker with the woman he loves doesn't sound like the most villainous plot at all and it felt like the writers just wanted an episode with the two alone together to reminisce on things and blamed it all on Adrian.


ChildofObama

I heard that the episode was originally supposed to be about Ragman and Havenrock, but the writers scrapped the idea for budget reasons (probably to save money for the Lian Yu season finale), so we got Oliver and Felicity trapped in the Bunker instead.


Major-Assumption-535

Yeah, they were definitely trying to setup a reconciliation between Oliver and Felicity. But the narrative expedient wasn't the best of all...


ChildofObama

Oliver and Felicity went from being broken up for over a year in 5x19, to married in 6x09 in a span of like ten episodes.


Major-Assumption-535

Yeah, never liked how this escalated so quickly


Competitive_Glove_79

Felicity was in it


JaRim1

The whole thing came off as a lie. “For 5 years I was stranded on an island”…. And in like season 3 “I wasn’t on the island the whole time”
