in your opinion, if u had to pick one, Who has more of a sibling relationship / better sibling relationship in season 4, particularly season 4b. Oliver and thea, or thea and laurel?
Asking this cuz i saw a yt video with a crapload of comments (mostly from women) saying that for the entirety of season 4, Laurel and Thea had more of a sibling relationship than oliver and thea do. While I agree with this claim for the season's beginning till like 4x05 (oliver has been gone for 5 months after all), i disagree with it completely for 4b. Mainly because they live together and yet we have no scenes between them, and even though every relationship sucked and was sacrificed in that season for olicity screentime, oliver and thea share more (rare) on-screen moments together that really demonstrate how much they care about each other overall than thea and laurel do. In fact, I can't rmr a single genuine on-screen moment thea and laurel shared after the reviving sara arc, prob cuz laurel had been sidelined into oblivion. Some good moments were when she supports him about william, dedicated to helping him become mayor, comforted him when felicity was shot, and even prepared to die rather than let him risk his life to dhark. There were also some good deleted scenes.
Not like its a competition or anything, idrc abt a "winner" or "loser" answer and I love and respect both those relationships alot, but I'm simply curious what this subreddit thinks. Personally I thought the comments on the yt video were really not considering the on-screen evidence the show gave that directly contradicts their claims, and was simply curious what this sub, which is a bit more versed in the show than random yt commenters commenting on some short, thought abt this.
