Never got into it cause they changed his character too much. Hes supposed to be full of puns and corny dad jokes. It felt like they wanted a batman show but said fuck it lets slap green arrow on instead.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened.

It's awful in 4. Then it rebounds a bit in 5. Then it's god-fucking-awful in 6. I legitimately forgot S7 existed while typing this, I was sure it was the last season but was also pretty sure the show had eight seasons. S8 is decent, but it's also part of a massive crossover that might not make sense if you don't watch the rest of them.

Which is a shame i feel batman would work better as a tv show rather than a movie. They would be able to put more focus on his detective skills.

WB is weirdly, bizarrely possessive of a lot of its properties, Batman most of all, because it's afraid audiences will get confused when there are two different versions of the same character. It's why there hasn't been a live action Batman show since Adam West's. They're basically always planning to make a Batman movie and they're terrified someone will see the big-budget Christian Bale Batman and confuse him with CW's low-cost pretty boy Batman.

The series gets gradually crappier as the seasons go on, but imo it did manage to redeem itself during season 6 (halfway in the Ricardo Diaz arc, when all the B-team sidekicks took off).

Nah, but I don't see how that's equivalent.

I just think S6 is honestly the worst part of the show.

It definitely is bad at first, especially with everyone reeing at Oliver and the villains always being one step ahead with no explanation, but I think it gradually gets better after all the sidekicks leave and Oliver is on his own.
Season 7 in general is alright, especially with the double main-plot.
Season 8 is ok I guess, though probably vague if you don't follow the other Arrowverse series at all.

That's the only bad thing about the movies, and in a way why I prefer the animated series.

Yeah like still give him a villain of the week deal. Maybe it take 2-3 episodes sometimes to catch them. But have a bigger villain that it takes him like half the season to identify and the other half to catch.

Season 1 and 2 are great TV.

Same with The Flash. 1 and 2 were so good.

The shows drop off HARD during season 3.

One of the biggest faults is constantly adding to people that know their secret identity. They can fill a small town with people who know who they are, and it works to the show's detriment.

Flash S1 was perfect when it was just Barry, Wells, Kaitlin, and Cisco. Whereas Arrow worked fantastic with just Diggle, Felicity, and Ollie. Roy was a nice addition too.

But the show just KEEPS adding to the roster. I saw Flash on TV the other day and there's like 5 speedsters and an entire party's worth of people hanging around Star Labs.

I liked the flash but almost every villain also being a speedster got annoying. Reverse flash zoom I forget dudes name but evil Barry allen from the future
super smart dude villain was breath fresh air. I forget his name too though. But that was the last season I watched as work started making me miss episodes.

I got to season 4 before I got overwhelmed with keeping up with Arrow, Flash, Gotham, Supergirl and Walking Dead at the same time. I dropped them all and never caught back up lol.

I basically ran.

Reverse Flash and Zoom were good. I think they blew their load too late with Zoom being Fake Jay. Should have been Earth 2 Barry Allen. Would have made for a great moment of showing how different things were. Or how things could have been.

Also the show made me hate Iris so quick. I remember seeing this posted around at one point, still makes me laugh:

https://youtu.be/wGkl9YMahgs

Iris is such a trash character. Laurel too. Why can't they make good female leading romantic interests? Felicity went from a fun character everyone loved to a trash character the MOMENT they decided to make her the romantic lead, because instead of capitalizing on what people loved about her, they just made her into another CW romantic lead. AKA: trash.

I tried getting into black lightning as well. But 2 things turned me off. Mainly cause there was too little action imo for a super hero show. Secondly in season 2 it became clear the show was written specifically with black people as the target demographic. Which is fine but its just not for me. Shame cause I thought he looked and sounded cool as fuck.

So nobody like legends of tomorrow? It and flash where the only ones I got into. I only watched a few of the lex luthor episodes of super girl cause thanks to 2 and half men I felt the casting choice was ridiculous. They coulda done better but he did far better than I expected.

I loved how legends sometimes didnt take themselves that seriously though like when they mention they think the missed the yearly crossover event

Yeah I hate iris as well. I was really hoping they were gonna kill her off like in the comics and have Barry find her in the refrigerator lol at least I'm sure that happened to the flash.

oh yeah, Black Lightning was also one I was watching before I dumped everything, lol. I just got superhero and zombie fatigue, I guess.

I quit on Agents of Shield and have no recollection of what was even going on when I stopped.

I did enjoy the live action Titans though, but I didn't actually start liking it until near the end of the first season. it was smooth sailing after that.

Legends is great. Probably the only Arrowverse series that started off alright and actually seems to get better each season. Just a good fun campy series about a group of lovable ragtags getting into all kinds of weird adventures.
Kinda reminds me of the same attitude that the Xena: Warrior Princess series was going for.

Except Mona. I fucking hate Mona. She's basically this series' Rose from Star Wars (and not just because she's Asian. Just the same kind of annoying, whiny and useless).

Not instead. I was actually watching Supergirl originally on CBS. Then when it went to CE I finally started watching Arrow and Flash and Legends on Netflix. I watched the episodes of all 4 of those shows in release order by checking Wikipedia sometimes to get the timing of episodes right. I hate being spoiled on a show. I'll get back to it at some point, probably.

Mick Rory a.k.a. Heatwave.
I also love Wentworth Miller's performance as Leonard Snart (a.k.a. Captain Cold). Never got tired of that voice he put on:
"You've gotten soft, MICK."
"What do you think you're doing, MICK?"
"They're using you, MICK."

Yeah snark was great too especially the voice but he didnt last long. Gay snark was funny too.
