>merlyn says Sara has no bloodlust because Constantine put her soul back together
>Sara still has bloodlust

What the fuck?
>>
Merlyn needs to fuck off. Ever since season two he's just the guy that shows up out of nowhere, drops exposition, and leaves, only to have Team Arrow go "Grrr! I hate that Merlyn guy! Too bad he's right!"
>>
>>79638112
I pretty much stopped paying attention to Arrow, but I think he basically said that Sara won't die from not killing, but she still has the lust, while Speedy will die without fulfilling the lust because she isn't whole.
>>
>>79638154
Well now he has a plot where if Oliver kills Merlyn Nyssa will give him her anti-Thea dying water.
>>
>>79638154

he didn't do that in Season 2 because they still thought he was dead then
>>
>>79638112
the pit left a psychological mark on Sara the blood lust was brought under control by putting her soul back in but not completely eradicated. she killed because when she was soulless there wasn't anything to prevent her from killing.

same with thea the pit created a psychological want to kill.
>>
>>79638112
As much as fangirls lose their shit over Barrowman (I've seen it happen for two years helping out at cons) I'm starting to get sick of him. He's not really the Merlyn I was expecting from the comics and now that he's Ra's Al Ghul it just annoys the crap out of me how he just takes a plane to Star City every weekend to see Thea. Doesn't he have some kind of International Assassin Cult to run?
>>
>>79638154

That shit was funny.

>Coming back from the dead and the repercussions in doing so are a constant plot point in Arrow
>Solomon Grundy has yet to appear in his true undead self
FUCKING HOW?
>>
>>79638389
That's because this show went off the rails retarded in S3.

He was a delicious bad guy in S1 and he needs to be Ollie's arch nemesis, not frenemy.
>>
>>79638112
It's because when you are revived by the lazarus pit, you have a constant blood lust. Even if you soul is put back together.

>When Constantine revived Sara, her soul had to be put back together because she was dead for a long period of time.
>There is still bloodlust no matter what.
>>
>>79638744
Arrow doesn't air on Mondays.
>>
>>79638112
I have the answer to all these pit related questions:

The writers have no fucking clue what they're doing and make shit up as they go. The pit exists 100% to drive the plot and create drama.

Need a dead character for a spinoff? To the pit!

Worried the pit will make death cheap? Don't worry, there's a convenient powder that will destroy the pit!

Want some extra drama? Make Thea suddenly get sick from the pit despite being active and running around for months!

Need some quick conflict and a way to write yourself out of a corner with Thea being sick? Let's have Nyssa find ANOTHER convenient item that cures pit sickness!

Arrow writers are a joke.
>>
>>79638112
Why don't they call Constantine again for Thea? Like hey remember what you did for Sara well can you do it again for Thea? She was less dead when she went in so it should be easier.
>>
>>79638154
I wonder when Oliver will remember that this guy is responsible for the deaths of his father, Tommy and hundreds of people in the Glades. Not to mention it is his fault that Oliver was stranded and that Sara died.

Never because the writers want to keep Barrowman around.

They had Oliver go full OOC mode and let Malcolm becoming fucking Ra's Al Ghul. There is no logical reason that Oliver would let this happen. But the writers decided it would be wacky fun so they made it happen, leaving logic behind.
>>
>>79638383
>same with thea the pit created a psychological want to kill.

I thought it's supposed to be that souls of other Pit users infect yours or some shit, that's why when Dahrk used his Shang Tsung move on Thea, it drained her bloodlust instead.
>>
>>79638967

Now that he has League resources shouldn't he be trying to destroy the Glades again or some shit?
>>
>>79638967
>wacky fun
This is the first time I've seen someone say Arrow should be less wacky fun and not Arrow should be more like wacky fun Flash.

>>
>>79639010
I have nothing against the idea of Malcolm being Ra's.

My problem is how they did it. They had Oliver act completely out of character to let it happen.

They should have had Malcolm trick his way in some how. But that would actually involve good writing so fuck that.
>>
>>79638900
About when Oliver will remember Queen Consolidated is his parents' legacy and his precious Felicity has all but erased the people who literally died for him from history.

It's their way of making Thea relevant without having to actually write a plot. Kind of how Laurel became completely irrelevant once Sara was resurrected.

Yeah I don't know if I chalk it up to writer ignorance or basic human ignorance. I've noticed this about real life, people seem to be easy to forgive when the person being forgiven has something to offer them.

In a meta-sense they could forgive the writers/producers could forgive the villain because he has more performance to offer.

If only they could do that with Deathstroke. How glorious would it be for him to come back and kill Felicity?
>>
>>79640200
I imagined the producers making them say the lined at gunpoint
>>
>>79640235
More likely the producers gave them money to say it.
>>
>>79638967
>>79639101
It's like they were trying to make Merlyn more like Captain Cold (villain who has honor and respect for the hero) before even Cold got to that point. The difference is that even though Cold killed a few people, it's nowhere near the amount of atrocities that Merlyn committed. It also makes more sense that Barry would respect Cold back because Cold never really harmed someone close to Barry in the way that Merlyn did (I know he kidnapped Cisco and Catlin, but my point stands).

I buy that Barry has seen actual "good" and Cold and believes he can change.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUgqwitompg

At the same time, Barry does not stand for Snart getting close to his personal life. Whereas whenever Merlyn breaks into Thea or Oliver's places , the team are just like "Oh that scoundrel!" Whereas Barry takes it more seriously. Even though Cold is not as bad as Merlyn.

>>
>>79639101

Also getting rid of Queen Consolidated and everything surrounding it looks like "writing by the seat of their pants too."

Things really don't make financial sense of this show. Where the fuck is Oliver getting the money to run for Mayor? How was he totally okay with his parents company getting fucked up? Felicity is CEO of Palmer Tech, who got brutally attacked like it was nothing. The media, board of directors and everyone else would be all over that. Where does she find the time to be CEO? It's like they don't get that that is a demanding job that you're doing 24/7. It's demanding and very public depending on the company. CEO's can't fart without the WSJ knowing about it.

>>79640200
And thus the final Poochie piece.
On a show without Felicity, characters are talking and praising Felicity.

Its because it is. S1 was literally a Nolan realism vigilante show with island flashbacks. Then The Flash spinoff happens and suddenly producers are like "oh shit! this wacky comic bullshit actually brings in a crowd" so then Arrow starts backtracking and at a snails pace tries to become Green Arrow but still fucks that up
>>
>>79641037
Season 2 was the best of both worlds

Still was more serious than Flash but accepted comic book-y stuff like Deathstroke (his CW outfit is amazing IMO).

And it was S3 that they fucked up on, and that was before they tried to be like the Flash. It was just poor in general.
>>
>>79641037
The sad thing is they wouldn't have had to backtrack at all. Oliver could've still become comic Arrow if he'd been allowed to actually save Starling successfully for a bit and make it a better city. With his own accomplishments, hailed as a hero and with the stark contrast of a much darker past, the present would not have seemed half as bad.

Instead, they make his path to "happiness" Felicity. Great job to ace the 'shit writing' award there.

It was such a great moment because the struggle with killing being badong and maintaining his secret identity both take a back seat to putting Slade down before he can ruin Ollie's life. It was desperate. It was tense. And when Slade just caught Ollie's wrist and said "Not yet." it showed just how fucking dangerous he was.

Lets dispel this fiction once and for all that Felicity Smoak doesn't know what she's doing. She knows exactly what she's doing; she's undergoing a systematic effort to change this show and make Arrow more like the rest of the shows. If I'm elected we'll embrace what makes Arrow the greatest show in the world.

This is actually more spot on than you may realise.

He wasn't, there just wasn't much he could do about it. Plus, live off of what you can catch and kill on a remote island for a while, and you might care less about money.

>Where does she find the time to be CEO? It's like they don't get that that is a demanding job that you're doing 24/7. It's demanding and very public depending on the company.

I was really into the season 1 premise and was really disappointed that they moved away from the 'realistic' atmosphere, the list and Oliver having to deal with being a PTSD ridden wreck of a human being (I know later seasons pay a little lip service to it, but they really gloss over it)

I know that that's not actual Green Arrow, but that could no longer be helped once S1 started airing.

If they wanted a goofy comic book universe they should have done that to begin with because this show is nothing but a schizophrenic mess now.

I'm re-watching S2 right now and man I don't care how hype The Flash is Arrow S2 is still better than anything that's happened so far on it. I'm watching "The Promise" right now and it's really easy to forget that at some point the majority of people wished the flashbacks were longer because of how good they were then. Also I'm still sad that Manu Bennett isn't on the show anymore he really was the best as Slade and also one of the better actors when he was on the show.

How the hell did 5'4'' Felicity fit in a suit built for a jacked 6'3'' man?
>>
>>79638828
lmfao

So, then is the suggested watching order:
>Arrow S1
>S2
>Flash S1
>any S3 crossover episodes with Flash
>any S3 episodes establishing Black Canary as a thing (basically until Wildcat dies)
>S3 finale
>S4
>Flash S2
>Legends of Tomorrow S1

Gentlemen, how do we fix Arrow?

It's simple, we kill The Overwatch.
Also make Black Canary and Nyssa a thing. Kill Malcolm finally, give Roy a new costume and call him Arsenal, have Diggle take over on tech support/retire him from the field. Reveal Damien as Count Vertigo. Don't kill him

The problem isn't the goofy comic book shit but the soap opera.

Season 1 had so many weak moments because it focussed on the soap opera too much.

Season 2 was great because it trimmed the fat a lot.

The problem with season 3/4 is it has brought back the soap opera drama in a big way. Too many characters goofy antics don't make it fun.

Season 2 was so good because the writers realised what made 1 good and replicated and refined it. But now they took a big bit of influence from how the Flash is and changed the show too much.

Except the Flash is good because it has less soap opera...

Can we just kill her and Merlyn? Please. I don't want to see this incarnation of the League ever again.
>>
>>79648142
Flash has plenty of soap opera with all the hijinks and extra shit going on.

The Flash point was more about the theme changing. And them moving away from what Arrow was.

This is why it is all over the place.

Same.

There's a difference between drama and soap opera. Flash season 1 has very little soap opera. Flash season 2, on the other hand, well...

Suffice to say the drop in quality has little to do with one show influencing the other's style and more with the writers using that as an excuse to go lazy soap mode.

Merlyn's great at BS and doesn't know everything.

Remember when Felicity beat one of them?

I still remember when they introduced the first assassin from the League that was after Sarah is s2. He was pretty badass and being just one guy made the whole League looked like a real threat.
>>
>>79638297
Except CW spoiled that and confirmed that neither Thea nor Merlyn die next week.
>>
>me and my friends always clown on how Laurel hasn't been shown at her day job in forever wondering if she's still even employed
>that recent episode where did lawyer stuff at the crime scene

Removing her as a main focus has improved her so much. As soon as she comes back into the light I bet she'll be shit
>>
>>79644374
Thea has actually been through a lot

She should be crazy regardless of the pit
>>
>>79638744
It's because they wasted Grundy back on a season when they were still shying away from superpowers and magic. He was just another roided up henchman that only got namedropped as a cute little easter egg.
>>
That parkour-ish chase with Roy and Ollie was so cool. I wish they would do more of that like I'm season 1

Also the way they wrote Roy back into the show was shit. Pissed me off. Ive been waiting for his return
>>
>>79648142
I would think the flash has more soap opera to fill in the gaps where arrow puts flashbacks
>>
>>79638112
Every time they say the word "bloodlust" I shit my pants and die a little.
Seriously, I don't mind the CW shows and think Flash is pretty fun, but do they have a single writer in the entire studio that actually knows how human beings actually speak?

In the second episode of LOT with Damien Dark, how come he didn't attack the team? He just pissed off.
>>
>>79647923
Pretty sure the only true crossover episode (in the sense that you have to watch both parts to understand the full story) has been the one with the Hawks this season. Most of the other stuff doesn't matter that much, fairly minor continuity like Laurel getting the canary cry from Cisco that won't mess anything up if you see it out of order.
>>
>>79648061
Get rid of every main character aside from Oliver, Laurel and maybe Thea, and bring back Roy. Everyone else sucks, including Diggle.

They're thinking about giving Felicity a costume. Because I guess now that she has a codename she needs a costume even though all she can do is sit in front of a computer and p'wn n00bz.

Maybe he wasn't semi-immortal back then?
It's also possible he saw the hawks and firestorm and decided to fuck off. I know I would if I were just a buyer with no real investment.

I wonder how Earth-2 Tommy is doing? He's probably the arch-nemesis of Robert Queen, the Green Arrow.... or just Arrow.
>>
>>79660506
You are now remembering that he called Thea hot and she was later revealed to be his half sister

They really Lucas'd that one

>>79638112
They're making this shit up as they go along. That much has been evident since season 2. Flash does it too. They're really not even trying to bother with whats been established.

You should ship Laurel/Nyssa and Cisco/GG instead

Really? Where? Because so far, Flash has been internally consistent.
>>
>>79661216
Season 1 of flash when Wells was naming off all the people who died in the particle accelerator accident, atom smasher was one of them. First episode of season 2, not only is he alive, but working a completely different job in construction, perfectly fine and living a normal life before his doppleganger offed him.
>>
>>79661272
You're reaching pretty hard there. Especially given Thawne has no way of knowing who exactly died in his partical accellerator explosion or as a direct consequence there-of.. What he did instead was quote metas he knew about that hadn't appeared yet and a few people mixed in he knows actually did die.
>>
>>79661458
>You're reaching pretty hard there.
....no? That was in an episode, and it happened exactly as I said. You're doing mental gymnastics to justify it not being retarded.
>>
>>79638112
Like anyone talks to Merlyn.

>>79638154
I loved how the Flash crossover lampshaded that
>>
>>79660037
Fucking why? She's not in the field. That's like if Alfred became Butlerman when dusting the bat computer. And besides Oracle, a better hacker and former cape, only had a screen avatar
>>
>>79661494
>Wells somehow knows exactly who died, because he has nothing better to do and cares so much
>Who is Eobard Thawn, student of superhero history and capeshit geek?

Kek. Him being able to name everyone and it being the truth is the retarded thing here. Thawn, Professor Zoom, lying his ass off to get a result? That's the far more in character and plausible reaction.
>>
>>79656262
Who would have though that Laurel would become an okay character?

>>79656692
And sorry. Diggle was 10/10 in S1, but the character is fucked beyond no return.
>>
>>79661580
>>Wells somehow knows exactly who died, because he has nothing better to do and cares so much
Because he built the fucking place and would know who worked and died in the accident. It's just sloppy writing.
>>
>>79661626
He knows who died in a nuclear power plant miles off that he had nothing to do with? He even cares? Are we even talking about Eobard Thawne here?
>>
>>79661591
She was fine in every season but 2. I guess the bigger thing would be "who thought Thea would calm the fuck down?" Not me.
