These are my opinions you don't have to agree with me or not
Okay so with it almost being a decade or so after Arrow came out in 2012 and since i watch season 1 and season 2 and i thought those seasons were so good that i happen to brought them on DVD and blu ray than came season 3 which i thought it was okay before looking back and realized of how bad it is until season 4 came which was where i got tired of the show feeling that it's losing the direction of the show and stop watching it after being disappointed with seasons 3 and 4 even the 6 7 and 8 which have been nothing but mediocre and garbage. Season 5 however i haven't yet watch the season but i'm gonna be honest with myself that i have some reasons why i stop watching it but might one day watch the fifth season.
Rene Ramirez/Wilddog
Alright so I'm gonna starts out to talk on Rene Ramirez and Rory Regan. I didn't even like Rene Ramirez aka Wilddog cause he looks like some hot head man who has an issue with taking orders lack of experiences and wanted criminals to died without having the police to arrest them and doesn't like listening to rules or listening which makes him to not listen well enough and talk back at orders. As Wilddog yeah he has the same persona which also has the team to call out his reckless behavior that cause the missions for Team Arrow and he also doesn't like Meta humans thinking they claim to help the world only to make it worse before having respect for Flash and Supergirl yeah after all the trouble Rene has put Team arrow through before quitting well before changing his mind and timeline rewritten.
Even though i wasn't a fan of his character or in the comics since he's just Jason on steroids looking a fight maybe killed off this character.
Rory Regan/Ragman
So where to start with this one that i wasn't a fan of Rory Regan and i'm not a fan of his mask ether cause it looks like scarecrow on steroid and also Ragman really he would go all Danny Phantom instead so the name that Rory uses is Devarim and the rags he uses that protects him from the nuclear blast that destroyed his home and not sure if he has any nuclear radioactive on his body it's never been told he does or not
Also he's too violent and tries to be like Spawn if he was cover in clothes at least he managed to have peace than going for vengeance like that and also Rory is a fan of Barry Allen/Flash and Kara Danvers/Supergirl. Also his voice got he's trying to be like Damian Wayne if he had a voice changer to sound like Batman if he was affect by radioactivity and cover his face to be a mixed between Batman and Scarecrow but i couldn't even care about talking about this whackjob.
Felicity Smoak
i know i should have included this on Rene Holt and Regan but i decided to leave this one out. and here goes for saying this. Felicity Smoak was undoubtedly unlikable well yeah sure she was alright in Season 1 and 2 when she wasn't being annoying and the actor Emily Richards would have had the character stay where she was before the writers and producers thought of shoving in the Olicity and sleeping with Oliver in season 3 after they're on vacation.
Season 4 was more Felicity and friends oh god what a mess of a show that season was. The fourth season was absolutely garbage and didn't really focus on Oliver Queen or his team instead the fourth season ended up being an spin off for Felicity and it also had her family in and Felicity's mother was also the among the worst and boy she couldn't stop while on screen and they couldn't have killed her off cause Olicity should have died even Felicity and the original Felicity in the comics didn't dated with Oliver Queen in the comics but of course more changes to the characters and title character and she was going to be call Oracle oh wait that name has been taken but where's batgirl aka Barbara Gordons oh yeah she never appear it seems she went by Overwatch instead and also They could have killed her off and went for Laurel lance oh wait they didn't cause they didn't want to piss off the Olicity shippers on Tumblr nor anyone else instead troll us and have her around what a joke of CW and The showrunner and his creative team of Producers and Writers.
Olicity
It's time to talk about that Definity killed and ruined the show itself with shipping all because of tumblr if not some writers being some creeps and decided to ship this in and the idiotic shippers went in arms like some lunatics would do a lot and somehow on Twitter were celebrating that Olicity is canon and an common problem of how things like that get rushed and poorly plan just like how other shippers are and can be very toxic like anything else yet the name of mixing Oliver and Felicity together should have been a red flag that things were going to get ugly and boy it did. Yet Olicity was from none other than Tumblr where the shippers ignore the comics and going so far to ship them together and ignoring how Oliver fall in love with Laurel or Dinah who was Black Canary before they were going through the name changes. Olicity that got itself canon in season 4 and later the rest of the show all because the chemistry between Amell and Richards they had together perhaps maybe they should have kill it and make changes oh wait no that was the showrunner and his creative team speaking of which....
Marc Guggenheim
Time to talk about the man behind the show but was responsible for it Marc Guggenheim which was also a comic book writer and even given to be a showrunner for Arrow tv show where if he would have free creative control but no he went too far with it and made some bad choices to the show and wouldn't have done the right choices had he follow the source material and respect the fans without going towards Tumblr and of course shipping Olicity and also he made Arrow or rather Green Arrow to be too much of a Batman knock off and also a killer Which Marc didn't even bother had a second thought and done some terrible choices to the show itself made bad choices to Oliver and didn't focus on the comics as their source material just threw it aside and made Season 3 terrible but Season 4 absolutely bad and more Felicity and Friends even the writing and dialogue became so bad that i couldn't even handle it.
The usage of Laurel Lance as being reveal as Black Siren
Does anyone remember when The original Laurel Lance was killed off in season 4 and resulting of OilCity getting the victory they wanted in the first place and now Laurel Lance (Earth 1) (Not) was back in Season 5 Episode 9 and later Episode 10 she came back only to pretend to be Laurel Lance on Earth 01 but wait too much of a spoiler and anti climax that was instead this laurel lance is black siren and from earth 02 which I'm sorry that was pointless and rush in instead of getting the Laurel lance back aka Earth 01 wait couldn't the lazarus pit help bring the undead back just like Ra's al ghul did to himself to stay younger or other characters if they find a way to bring back them or not. But in Season 5 Laurel lance didn't fit like the original one if she was well written instead of killing her off and Black Siren just comes off as being instead of making Laurel lance go through Lazarus Pit or do any story on Laurel lance back from the dead like if she suffers Amnesia almost kills her friends and allies which would have work as a better story and make Earth 01 Laurel better than using Earth 02 Laurel Lance well redeem her but this idea seems like lazy.
Team Prometheus
So this one here i wasn't going to through much of doing it until i thought of doing one on Prometheus's team that were much of a small team before Adrian dies and most of his squad expect for Earth 2's Black Siren. These individuals since i'll start out their names for a short and small group.
Evelyn Sharp/Artemis Talia Al Ghul and also Black Siren aka the earth 02 Laurel Lance oh yeah they also had Digger Harkness/Captain Boomer rang and Derek Sampson also Talia brought in her assassins in so why not find other villains that would have help Adrian to kill Oliver. Well at least one team member survive and Evelyn aka Artemis well presumed dead and who cares.
Yet i'll be honest about Adrian Chase since he was a okay villain and the actor that play him did fine but Prometheus looking like Assassin's Creed mixed with Arrow and a total mixed bag yet who is unforgettable and the tv version of the character is nothing like the one from the comics since he was all different and has a medieval helmet like which that looks silly and the outfit and mask that Adrian wears looks like it came from an sewers that he found and decided to use it instead of having another one that makes him look threatening than a one off side character before getting killed off without making him a better villain than a would be joker. As for his backstory and of course killing people and thinking Oliver wasn't a hero only a killer who cares and of course you can go check out the Arrowverse wiki and look up Adrian Chase his personality and Motivation.
Oliver Queen's Children
Yeah so this one was not that i plan to talk about or even but it was something that i hated and felt this idea was really unnecessary so here goes for saying i didn't like the idea of Oliver having a child which was none other Mia Smoak and also William Clayton that appeared in Season 5 but is not related to Oliver Queen or Felicity Smoak cause William is the son to William SR Clayton and is the illegit son and also William Clayton and Mia Smoak are from the future of 2040 and were born back in 2006 nd 2019 before time traveling and sort of time parodax before i talk about Mia and William let me bring up Connor Hawke was the actual son to Oliver Queen in the comics and also Green Arrow and much different than William Connor is also the illigemate son to Oliver Queen.
William Clayton
So when William Clayton was reveal to be the actual son to Oliver Queen though to anyone' guest he was thought to have been someone's child but instead Clayton is actually Oliver's Child which i thought Oliver would have Connor but of course changes to the show and comic book character. I never got into this character cause i thought he come cross as unknown to anyone and sometimes like Damian Wayne only to blame his father for not being there with Samantha Clayton
Also this is not attacking the actors who play him or that he's gay nothing against that until it was reveal and since Arrow is open to LBGTQ Representation and don't want to get into that. But anyways when i saw some clips of Sixth season where William had some issues at being in school due to picking a fight and His parents finding out about that which he lacks control of his behavior which he didn't even bother to improve himself before an adult version of him took his place and also William understands Russian which I'm not gonna talk about and the children of Oliver Queen are nothing like to Connor Hawke cause talking about Mia and William will just be a waste.
Talia Al Ghul is not a good character
Does anyone remember Talia Al Ghul the character from Batman that was also in love with Bruce Wayne aka Batman and a love tringle happen in the comics shows and Christopher Nolan's films than before Arrow came out Talia was in The Dark Knight rises before getting killed off and later she was in Arrow before any batman show up but didn't cause of over some rights of the character and can't him on TV. Well Talia Al Ghul's sister Nyssa Al Ghul gets to be on Arrow and so does Talia while Nyssa was in a relationship with Sara Lance aka White Canary nothing against that and Talia start to be more of a good person than how she is the comics.
Yet she start to make appearance on the show and till in love with Oliver and doesn't mentioned Bruce Wayne in this version since i don't think she ever had an romantic interest to Oliver In the comics. In arrow she was also in a romantic relationship with Sara Lance aka White Canary so i guess Talia was in love with Dinah and Oliver in this show than with Bruce Wayne in the shows and movies even comics or hell help him on missions even if it's against her father which she's an anti hero due to her loyalty to her father who is the leader of the league of assassins and still loves Bruce Wayne and had a child aka Damian Wayne the fourth robin and Talia also Appeared in The Dark Knight Rises and wasn't even in a romantic interest with any women that Nolan's Films show before she made her appearance in the 2012 film Spoilers if anyone reading this has not watch The Dark Knight Rises and knows what happened to her or didn't see it please go see it anyways she was in a relationship with Jason Todd when he came back during the Under The Red Hood Arc i don't know why she went for Sara whenever the reason pretty sure this will be explain in Season 3 and i'm not planning to see that one and Nyssa Al Ghul yeah i'm not gonna get into that one.
So Talia Al Ghul is more of an Anti Hero and sometimes Team Arrow trust her but would fall for her traps which ends up being one of the dumbest mistakes ever.
Stop Making Green Arrow as Batman that kills
Now this is one of the complicates that DC Fans even Arrow and Batman fans were upset about and were unhappy with the character call Green Arrow that is like Batman rip of if he was wearing a hoodie domino mask and wear different suits he wears rather than the armor equipment and cape which the writers are totally not original to make stories to Arrow only to copy them and make Arrow as a batman clone to be in CW budget. Okay yeah we have seen the copy cat and similarities to other heroes but with Green Arrow who doesn't go by that name only call Arrow instead or whatever they call him in this show. Much like how Batman is shown to not kill people cause that will go against his number one rule is to not kill people or criminals does green arrow follow that no he doesn't instead he just goes on more edge lord declaring to the criminals that he has fail the city and kills them yet isn't responsible and the people of star city are fine with that which doesn't does well with the law. Batman would not kill his own rogue gallery unless he has no choice if he is force just like in the comics show or movies like.
Ra's Al Ghul
Dracula (Batman vs Dracula)
Devil Ray
Owlman (Two earth movie)
Johnny Quick
His early comic book run in 40s
Mad monk
Murdering followers of a cult
Killing a thug in Batman Returns
Darkseid (Final Crisis)
Joker (Likely in the killing joke)
The rest goes on. And these were different back than before Batman didn't killed and the writers decided to do some changes. Now when have we see Oliver not try to kill people well he doesn't without thinking for a thought or idea if he should instead the producers want to make arrow act as a sort of Rated R of Batman if he was on Television and Green Arrow gets his own movie and universe if he did throughout Season 1 and 2 he just kills people which made comic book readers of the character not happy with it perhaps knockout arrows or sleep darts should have help but nope didn't. since i know that i have seen Oliver or Green Arrow go around and kill in Seasons 1 and 2 which i don't have time to write it all down cause it would be way longer and i know we have see him done but the producers and writers decided to make this in the show without not a single problem they didn't even know and no consequences' for his actions well sort of during his trial and jail time.
The idea of a R Rated or Tv Version of Batman was an idea from an user's rant on the show which he and i talk about and joke about Cw should have done if this was trying to be like Christian Bale's Batman Tim Burton's Batman or DCAU Batman but they went through for a bad route which should have been red flags there until it was too late. Yes sometimes Batman has break his first rule a few times sometimes in Interrogations if not violent unless he has no choice, also check out NeedleMouse Productions' videos on Batman
Conclusion
Alright so i know that i just myself a post about how much i really don't like Arrow and No i'm not going to talk about Arrowverse shows in general either cause i don't feel like it's worth talking about cause there is nothing much to say of the series while flash is still airing who knows of how will it'll end and not planning to talk about it and don't plan to talk about Legends of Tomorrow Flash Supergirl and Batwoman i don't plan to watch it cause the wig looks fake and boy does it look like mediocre. And sure someone will get mad at fans for criticizing this or the comic book fans of the character which seriously let fans speak for their opinions not go online harassed and attack them. Plus this one took some research to go through and to make sure that i got it right before updating it.
I'll gonna be honest with myself on this subject i been reading DC Comics and Marvel Comics since i saw the movies as a kid and they hold a special place in my heart since childhood when i saw Green Arrow i thought he was like Robin Hood well a modern day version of Robin Hood only to be a billionaire like Bruce Wayne and both are members of the justice league and have face against the same villain only from different rogue's gallery. I saw Green Arrow and since i only like Seasons 1 and 2 and haven't watch season 5 but will one day only to. It's been real fun of talking about how a show was so good and great before going down to it's downfall yet it has fail to save the city and itself only to died a hero only liv to see themselves to become themselves a joke or villain meaning the showrunner of the series. From Season 1 and 2 that were so great of the show before Season 3 became bad and Season 4 Felicity and friends yet trying to get it back to where it was before throwing away Olicity but nope puts it back and to appeal the toxic shippers with it's ten anniversary coming next year maybe this one should be around five years later or six years following season 4 or after the sixth season or during the seventh season but it's been cool writing this one down.
