9 women and 3 men? Thats what I like to see. Hopefully this will help to give Felicity more perspective and story than she previously had under a male dominated writers room
.


What the fuck does this person want. She has been at the center of things time after time. She saved the world more then once. She stole Oliver's got damn house. I am glad I dropped that show .

For what it's worth, the fanbase the writers pander to sent a fruit basket to the writers for killing off an actually canon comic book character for being a threat to Olicity

And paid for a fucking park bench that celebrates Olicity

she won't be

they can't permanently reduce her role in team arrow because tumblr fans will bitch and moan about her being solely used as a love interest or not having enough screentime until they change it back, and she can't keep the prominent role she's had for seasons because the hacking is NCIS level awful and she provides nothing of value otherwise and anything else would be a bigger asspull than the god-tier hacker she has become despite starting as a low level IT person in Queen Consolidated

she can't be better written

What's been the excuse for the rest of the series, and a lot of the other CW DC shows? The comics board has been making SECRETS & LIES jokes about that show for years.

OT, this might not be the best time to promote this. The show's lost a lot of interest so if it gets canceled, you know what will get the blame.

the real excuse is that the writers they had were just incredibly bad at writing, nothing to do with their gender

i think the new/current writing staff will also be bad but more because they'll pander to the biggest demographic of fans arrow has left, less because they're women

No. Diaz is the worst villain the Arrowverse has ever seen. He is bad fanfiction tier, only dangerous because the plot demands he is. Despite being a basic street thug that lost to fuckin' Wild Dog in an early-season fistfight, Team Arrow and the show act like Darkseid himself has descended on Star City.

Off the top of my head:
-He blackmailed or bribed so many city officials and police officers that he uses an SCPD headquarters as a base of operations. Never show how he accomplished this, it just was.

-The show introduces a never-before-hinted-at criminal organization called the Quadrant, so named because they control all criminal activity in the United States which they split into four areas. Diaz casually kills all the leaders of this massive criminal enterprise and takes it over in about three episodes.

-Black Siren, first introduced into this continuity by using her sonic screech to tear a skyscraper down and later shown to also be an extremely capable hand-to-hand fighter, is somehow terrified of the powerless Diaz. Why? Well, it turns out that the borderline sociopath Siren - who had previously jellified a dude's brains with a close-range screech and worked for actual monster Zoom - got super afraid when Diaz burned a dude alive. Why did he burn that dude alive? Because he, no joke, bullied Diaz as a kid.

-The last season mentions a group called the Longbow Hunters. These are nigh-mythical figures that disappeared decades ago. So powerful, even the League of Shadows fears them. Apparently they'll be working for minor street thug, Ricardo Diaz.

- Black Siren interrupts Diaz and Oliver's final fight because Oliver isn't going to kill him. She canary cry's his ass about fifty feet off a five-story building, but he lands in water and his body can't be found. So he'll be back next season despite being the worst villain ever.


And this is just one aspect of the terrible season. As for how it ends, Oliver makes a deal with the FBI. Apparently, the FBI isn't interested in stopping a crime lord from openly operating in Star City or an entire city's worth of officials being on his payroll. They only step in when Oliver makes a deal in which he will admit to being the Green Arrow. So the finale ends with him admitting on camera that he is the Green Arrow, the Arrow, and the Hood (incidentally clearing Roy's name) and going to prison.

Season 7 has a pretty interesting set-up compared to most seasons. But as always with Arrow it remains to be seen if the execution is good.

Season 6 started out weak but those last few episodes were quite a bit better. A shame that they didn't set it up very well.

This. Guggenheim was the one responsible for the scene where Felicity stood up after the spinal injury just to walk out on Oliver... All because his baby-mama asked him to keep their kid a secret

also that the woman always keeps the house; even though in this case it was Oliver's given to him by his sister

guggenheim is also the reason kevin smith isn't allowed to contribute anything to arrow

the saddest thing is that there was a time when felicity was great
the first 2 seasons her popularity was completely justified as she was really fun to follow

even in season 3 she had some moments that i enjoyed like when the gang were attacked by assasins and she threw a tablet at one of them knocking him down and she seems so proud of herself and then she sees a bunch of arrows in his back

"yeah that makes more sense"

i liked that moment.
she needs more scenes like that but instead we get scenes where she can do no wrong
i dont mind her getting braver and more competent over the years but she kind of hogs the spotlight

Outside of that shitty crossover moment in the last season I haven't had much issue with Felicity in the last couple of seasons. But they do manage to have a stand-out "Wtf are they doing with this character" every single season.

Season 1 - Laurel
Season 2 - Laurel
Season 3 - Felicity
Season 4 - Felicity
Season 5 - Diggle
Season 6 - The B-Team

She had perspective and story when Season 4 felt more it was about her and her family. A show can't be focused on one person. They should honestly watch Supergirl if they want feminism.

I stop watching that show , just when the changed the time it came on. Like like her. I would be her Jimmy Olsen any day.

However I didn't like her sister's girl friend. Everything she added was horrible. And it is not because she was girl. Honestly if Kara and Lex's sister became a thing I would support that.

They don't want strong female characters though, they want strong Felicity and everyone else be damned.

As shown with them harassing actresses like Katie Cassidy.

Also another indication of how batshit insane they are. They actually ship Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards in real life. While Stephen is married, with a young daughter.

I don't really see any of that stuff on Arrow or Flash anymore. I don't even know what their lives are supposed to be at this point.

Then again Supergirl has forgotten that Kara is meant to be a journalist.

Oliver was fine until the last episode where he randomly decided that the best way to keep his team safe is confess to the FBI that they're all vigilantes and then abandon his son to go to jail.

Diggle's bullshit with wanting to become Green Arrow was bullshit.

Felicity was actually alright this season but still fuck her.

I like that aspect of Supergirl too. Character moments, that aren't really necessary at all for any real plot, like them going to the bar to do karaoke, or taking J'onn's father to the arcade, that's great stuff.

I can't remember the last time anyone in Arrow seemed to just be having fun, living their life. Flash had some of the pre-wedding stuff, like the bachelor/bachelorette parties. Legends did it a few times with Zari and Wally, but it's had the strongest character interactions of the CWverse for a while now.

Considering Oliver admitted he was the Green Arrow to the FBI lady it was either they all eventually get caught or he can confess and give everyone else immunity.

Diggle got his hopes up that he would take over the GA mantle. Then he had to deal with Oliver just doing it 'temporarily' forever. I think his character moving to ARGUS is the best thing to happen to him in a while. He was stagnating and now he has something unique to provide the show.
