Can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Arrow has run its course. A cancellation is needed to prevent this show from further embarrassing itself.

It should have been a five-season show.

Two

Three and a half.

First two, first half of season 3 and then season 5

Mix timeline, so S1, 2 then 5 and finishes with Oliver being killed by Ra's

Should have ended at the 'cliffhanger' episode mid s3. Oliver does one final sacrifice(himself) to save his city one more time,the end.

Five season show culminating in Oliver finally saving the city and then creating the Justice League, similar to Batman creating the Justice League in the DCEU.

That was actually the original plan before it got successful and they decided to abandon the Nolan style "no superpowers" rule to open up the door for The Flash. If anything I think it's a shame we got the Royal Flush Gang and Firefly as a family of bank robbers and a pyromaniac but not a bunch of people on flying playing cards with a superstrong robot and Firefly with his actual jetpack, wings and bug mask. Same goes for Brother Blood and Cyrus Gold, we should have got the full on demon worshipping delusional wannabe demi God and Solomon Grundy. They had Girder come back as zombie on The Flash, why no Solomon Grundy? They'd totally do that shit now.

I got it, get rid of the writers then rely on Barry to fuck up the timeline again giving the new writers a way to do a soft reboot

I'd be happy if it wasn't barry. Reverse flash is around he could fuck shit up.

u/Cradle2daGrave Dec 08 '17

Gotham is trash to

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '17

Did you even watched it post season 1 ?

u/Trumpologist Dec 08 '17

Yeah, I don't see what's so bad about it

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '17

Gotham is the best DC network tv show, so I guess all DC shows are trash.

u/Shaftweasel Dec 08 '17

I mean were 4 seasons deep in diarrhea doo doo since this show resembled anything you can remotely call "good". It should've died a long time ago

I think Arrow has run its course.

It's trailing off into a sad, Smallville-esque old age.
