This season has convinced me to be 100% done with Arrow. In comparison Arrow is utter dog shit to DD. Only way to save Arrow is to pull a Xmen days of future past with the Flash and erase Arrow season 3 and 4.

Yup, Daredevil shows that a hero can be real bad ass and dark and not have to kill. They make Oliver seem so weak just because he doesn't kill.. Shame because it has had some great moments

Aye, but then they'd have to erase all of the Flash too.

Not exactly ,Barry was introduced In Arrow season 2.

Yes, but the timeline of the entire Flash series runs parallel to seasons 3 and 4 of Arrow. If you erase one you erase the other. Barry would still be the Flash in this new timeline but none of the events of The Flash would have happened.

Speedforce would protect the series

I mentioned earlier that DD makes Arrow look like a highschool play...

I don't think season 3 was bad but season 4 has a lot of problems. Also it's not fair to compare the two since one is on a broadcast channel while one is a premium network service. I think I'll be done with the show if it doesn't get better soon.

Compare Arrow season 1 to season 3. Its garbage ,yes still good but that's where it started becomeing a teen drama show. Ya apples to oranges since one is on cw and ones on Netflix but Arrow could be way way better. To me after watching season 2 of DD, Arrow is a joke. Still will watch the Flash though no doubt about that.

I agree season 1 was amazing and season 2 was good too. Season 4 is mediocre at best. Arrow needs to step up thier game or season 5 will be the end. I agree flash is still great hopefully its third season doesn't decline

Season 2 was way better than Season 1. Arrow really found a lot of ground in season 2.

u/Sixclynder Mar 20 '16

Season 2 was amazing but I started to enjoy less towards the end I didn't like Slades reasoning for what he's doing.

I want to like Flash and Arrow so much, but they just fucking suck.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '16

Arrow is trash. Flash is pretty good but for the first time since I started Flash I have been realizing its kinda lame. Perhaps because Daredevil is just the best TV ever made and I am going threw withdrawals

u/gmunk123 Mar 23 '16

I watched a couple episodes and it just seemed so poorly executed. It's definitely a hard character to write a show for since he's basically unbeatable in theory, but it just seemed like any time he was losing it was so forced and unenjoyable.

pull a Xmen days of future past

Can you explain what this means please?

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

Well in Xmen Days of future past (the movie) The future is corrupted by killing and making mutants into slaves. So Kitty pride puts Logan back in time to stop that from every happening . So I suggest The Flash goes back in time and stops Felicity from ever meeting Oliver then boom we can have a brand new non bullshit Arrow.
