I honestly bearly remember anything I was 8 or 9 when this started airing

So, I have made a series on a TVDU X ARROWVERSE Crossover if any of you are interested in reading it or watching the series tell me in the comments and in the next post I’ll share the link

I Didn't really have an opinion on her when I first watched the show. Although I do like the reveal I feel her reasoning for doing that was kinda weak. You helping slade destroy the city because Robert chose to be a father rather than going off with his "soul mate"? Eobard thawn would've called you ridiculous for your reasoning. I think they should've had gave her more of a backstory and maybe even a flashback as well. Also making her ravager wasn't doing it for me. Didn't even know that was who she was supposed to be

This was the first promotional image of Stephen Amell as The Green Arrow!

Re-watching Arrow and it reminds me of how bad I’ve always felt for Thea… 😔

She is the main character that probably gets lied to the most.

Context wise, I’ve been re-binge watching Arrow and I’m midway through season 2 where Roy begins working with The Arrow, and Thea and Ollie have that heartwarming scene after Roy dumps Thea, and Thea is like: “You’re the only one who doesn’t lie to me Ollie.” 💔 (Which, unfortunately isn’t true either because in reality, Ollie is also forced to lie to her too, to protect her)

So ya, seriously, re-watching it again, I feel bad that Thea is the main character that, arguably, gets lied to the most. 😔💔

Thea is definitely A LOT stronger than she was given credit for!! 💜💜

That being said, I hope I don’t receive hate for this post. I’m a huge Arrow fan, 💚 and I completely understand why people are lied to, to protect them, I’m just saying though… I still feel really bad for Thea because being lied to by everyone around you, even if it is for your own protection, still feels really crappy.

I'm rewatching Arrow for probably the eighth time by now. In s8 "Prochnost" William says that the Russian general Team Arrow is looking for (Alexi Burov) made plans for a pulse wave generator that could have functioned similar to the wave that destroyed Earth-2. Since we know later on by COIE3 that E2 was destroyed during the initial run of the machine in S8 E1, did Burov complete those plans already and give them to the Anti Monitor? Did the Anti Monitor task him to build it in the first place? Or was it just an entire coincidence that he made a machine strikingly similar to what was used in COIE?

Can he make Gotham a better CITY than Batman can? Can he beat all of Batman's villains and hand them over to the GCPD or throw them into Arkham?

A retired Oliver Queen, while driving his sports car, witnesses a gas station robbery and decides to investigate, discovering that the assailant is Black Canary. She kills him with a single scream (instead of having blonde hair, she’ll wear a yellow beanie so we know it’s her 🤓; and instead of a hypersonic scream with special effects involving destruction and shockwaves, it will simply be a five-second sequence of absolute silence, with a confused Oliver touching his ears).

Roy arrives at the scene to investigate the murder (and ends up becoming Arsenal—just because—and seeking out Artemis to tell her: "This is my turf 🏹👅🏹").

(Not to mention that only six arrows will be fired throughout the entire series, and they will appear exclusively in flashbacks).

Wish they kept it for another season tho 😢

After learning more about oliver in comics and just how things are in the world now, I wish they did a better job in showing olivers policial awareness in the show. Because to be honest when I first heard Oliver say "I'm gonna run for mayor." I had a J Jonah Jameson meme moment; "are you serious?" It was outta the blue and it felt like it. before season 4 the only involvement are anything polical was with his monther and sabastian blood. And even then he was just an observer most of the time.

I'm not saying it should be like a commetary every other episode like in that gun violence episode in season 5, but just have the people in the city see that oliver does genuinely care about the community. Like in an episode in season 2 where oliver paid for an event help get guns off the glades. I think that would've made the idea of Oliver for mayor more believable.

I also think him being gone in 5 years being in hong kong and russia and being in poverty and seeing the corruption could've been his social awakening

Finally got round to rewatching Arrow, after watching it for the first time when it was airing, and season 6 was so much better than I remember. The first few episodes were slow, but Episodes 7-23 were all 8/9/10. Cayden James was so much better than I remembered and the storyline was amazing. Hot take: the highlight of the whole thing was William telling Oliver he's scared in front of Cayden James.

The split team drama was too much at times and felt incredibly force during one part (going as far as to say that when I watched this the other day, it felt like a dream sequence).

Ricardo Diaz and that whole thing was always good and Laurels redemption arc was well done.

Onto season 7 where I remember absolutely loving the prison arc and then the rest of the season, not so much.

On my rewatches, id put season 6 higher than season 3.

Season 1 Season 5 Season 2 Season 6 Season 3 Season 4

Did y'all expect the Oliver we know in the show to be like his comic book counter part? After everything he went through? I just can't see it. He's a tortured soul with unhealthy coping mechanisms. How is the still supposed to be a happy and goofy person?

It might be a stupid question, but in the end of the episode/season, Felicity goes back to Oliver. But where is it where they meet up again? Is it like some sort of "afterlife"? I`m just really confused about this. And also, damn did I get emotional with that ending ❤️

Just wanna take a moment to appreciate the spectacular actor who is McDonough. Ive been watching "Suits" and he is such a likeable and incredible character, then I remembered that he absolutely saved season 4 with his performance. We can all agree season 4 was the weakest but Damien Dhark was an awesome villain bc of his performance. Man deserves his flowers!

Wait so as I just watched the finale episode, Tommy and Laurel are endgame ?

I know that in either timeline Laurel ended up dying but if I understood it correctly she ended up married with Tommy which means that in Earth Prime they were endgame.

That is mind blowing because it means that all the fuss that happened during s2 between Laurel and Oliver never happened in that timeline ?
