It was great seeing Emiko, but she felt a bit off for me. As if she wasn’t as close to Ollie as she’s been shown to be. I hope her role expands as the series continues.
I absolutely love the focus given to Mia. She’s overdue some screen time and the reunion with Connor was cute.
And then there’s Red Canary… still the least interesting character of whatever comic she stars in. I was hoping that Williamson could bring her some personality since he created her in the first place, but it feels like zero thought went into her creation beyond the costume design. All she was going for her is that she’s Dinah’s legacy, but that’s hardly unique with Sin around. Hopefully Cissie can influence her to retire too.
I want the family to finally reunite in one place, but with a “simplified” roster:
- Ollie, Dinah
- Roy (Arsenal), Connor, Mia (Speedy) and Emiko (Red Arrow).
- Lian (not necessarily as a costumed hero).
I’d keep Sin as part of the Birds of Prey and as an occasional guest in the Green Arrow comic.
