Considering how long and intricate Diggle's storyline is, and how he's become so pivotal to the storythat he's been established as a canonical character, this is an extremely weird thing to say
Because sure Diggle is still around but his sole purpose anymore is being an Olicty cheerleader. I'm not sure if there is one conversation between Oliver and Diggle in season 4 that doesn't involve Felicty or his Andy.
Really Diggle more of just became like dead weight when season 3 happened and season 2 was the start of when he just kind of got pushed to the background.
This storyline would've gotten so much backlash, and would've just tortured Oliver to no end, making it hard to even grasp at the concept of a happy tone. The reason Slade hated Oliver was because he chose Sara over Shado (as far as he knows), why would he suddenly employ Sara? He absolutely despised her, and Sara was Oliver's lover. How can you possibly justify Sara resenting Oliver, or Slade forgiving Sara, let alone both? Roachev was a good Ravager because she had motive, her backstory was essentially a clean slate, and it was easy to hate her - shoehorning Sara (the canonical black canary) into Ravager, is lazy
Chuckles First ok happy tone? That was kind of funny just because when has Arrow ever been a happy show? It's always trafficked in death and season 2 especially was Slade coming after Oliver.
Not sure what show you have been watching but happy doesn't fit the tone of Arrow.
For the whole making Sara into Ravager, I got that info from a podcast with Kevin Smith and Andrew Kreisberg.
Ok I could up with how Slade using Sara to get back at Oliver and why Sara could hate Oliver but since I've been accused of this being nothing more than fan fiction I'm not going to.
Are you removing post-Tommy drama and post-druggie drama too? Because Laurel and Quentin packed a lot more drama in the first three seasons, to the point where absolutely everyone hated her
No that stuff stays in. I get the whole drug thing made people hate Laurel and maybe I would have taken that out, I'm just going off the show to a degree since all of the original writing team was still on at this point.
The S3 arc was drawn out enough, it lasted like 2 months and I wasn't actually sure what the fuck was going on, I don't get how you consider this a problem
The brain washed arc lasted for all of one episode before it was shown in the next one that Oliver really wasn't brainwashed but just faking it.
You're literally describing the actual plot and theme of Arrow S1-4 word-for-word here, with little-to-know actual discrepancy
Your point? I'm just being sure in my post, that's one of the main things I address.
Why the fuck would he do that? The entire plot of the show has been leading up to the moment he becomes mayo
No the entire plot of the show has not been getting Oliver to mayor since the show started in season 1 and they weren't trying to get Oliver to become mayor back then.
I'd say a quarter of the plot in season 4 was trying to get Oliver to become mayor.
Now why would he step down, I'm not sure but I just know he wouldn't stay mayor forever.
Show Oliver becoming a master at speaking Chinese and learning his computer skills, that he still uses frequently through out present day.
Now did you even read the post? Because I was clearly talking about the "show" as in being the one from the post I wrote up when I mentioned his computer skills.
Oliver took down Reiter's operation in less than 2-3 months, and he managed to defeat a magic-fueled Reiter in less than a day (from the moment he entered the cave, tot he moment he put Taina down). If Reiter didn't have magic, or any compelling plot that makes him any special, he would've just been another Edward Fryers coming up against a war-torn and experienced Oliver that can single-handedly destroy him. This plot would hardly serve any actual purpose outside of testosterone-filled action, and Oliver would hardly learn anything from it
Ok seriously no comment because I can say without a doubt you might have read the most but you missed more than one thing or just refuse to really look at what I'm saying.
