    Arrow was great pre-Olicity, but lost its way since then, IMO. I still watch it, so it isn't like I have any hate for it.

    I've always liked Felicity. And since their marriage, there certainly has been any great eye-rolling drama in their relationship.

    Kadabra was pretty comic-accurate in everything but the costume.

    I loved Felicity the first two seasons, FWIW.

    I think they really lost sight of the character (and the show) when they tried to make her a serious love interest.

    My favorite scene. I can't wait till the Legends encounter him.

    What did you want? Nate coming back with the power of tears like in the Pokemon movie?

    Don't forget when they decided to portray heroes as villains; that's my main annoyance (examples: Atom Smasher, Dr. Light, Red Tornado, etc.)

    I think the producers took all the best writers from all of the Arrowverse shows, so they can work on the Crisis storyline.

    Where's the Question to prove my theory?

    I guess with Mithra, Zari is going to become the new Dragon Queen, unless I missed something. By the way, I don't mind if they keep her adult brother. I need more eye candy!

    By the way, is Nora still a fairy godmother still bound to Gary? I bet right now she wish she was a fairy gothmother.

    I know I'm in the minority, but I like Constantine; so does My Mom. What do you people want? Constantine on Swamp Thing?

    I said this once, and I'll say it again, I am disappointed they didn't portray Neron as they did in the comics, and I also wish they defeated Neron they did in "Underworld Unleashed."

    Surprised nobody's commented on them referring to Barry, Kara and Oliver as the Trinity. I thought that was a pretty cool reference to their status in the Arrowverse.

    Basically Barry is Superman, Kara is Wonder Woman, and Oliver is Batman in the CW universe.

    And it works wonderfully.

    Though I would argue that Sara Lance comes right behind them in terms of iconicity for the verse.

    He was but he made almost no impact whatsoever. This might be less a case of the character not being a perfect adaptation of the comics but that the writers basically treat some of Barry's most iconic rogues with the same casual disinterest as any of the other instantly forgettable villains-of-the-week that they bring in for all of one episode. We have a whole season of Cicada but all of one episode of Boomerang or Abra Kadabra - that's more than a little weird. Frankly, the fact that the Flash has refused to concentrate on building up the Rogues as a proper threat or at least constant presence in the life of Barry Allen, is one of its biggest failings.

    Honestly, yes exactly. Constantine with Swamp Thing makes much more sense than pairing him up with the Legends. Though I still think that Matt Ryan is too mannered to properly do the part justice - which I kind of hate to say as he does clearly throw himself into the role with gusto.

    Each of these shows have declined so much that they are all pretty much unwatchable, with the exception of the crossovers as they have been fantastic.
    AKA FlashFreak
    Favorite Characters:
    DC: The Flash (Jay & Wally), Starman- Jack Knight, Stargirl, & Shazam!.
    MARVEL: Daredevil, Spider-Man (Peter Parker), & Doctor Strange.

    Current Pulls: Not a thing!

    I hated that scene because it reminded me of the Pokemon movie. Nate is one of the characters I dislike on the show so I was hoping his death would stick. Not only does he get resurrected in the most hokey way possible but we lost Zari over it. Constantine was the only thing keeping me on this season but I don't think that will be enough anymore. After the next season of Arrow I'm done with the arrowverse.

    Okay, so fun question (which everybody can answer): Suppose you had the power to transfer Constantine to Swamp Thing, however, Blue Devil has to be on the Legends; will you make the transfer?

    I think Blue Devil would fit the Legends better than Constantine.

    Well, it's partially this show's fault for stealing Cold and Heat Wave when the Flash was actually building up to the Rogues .

    Captain Boomerang never even showed up on The Flash. He was in the Arrow half of the first Flash/Arrow crossover and then appeared in the season 5 finale of Arrow.
