Arrow: You Have Saved This City (2019)
Arrow should have ended on Oliver, Not Felicity
For seasons now this show has become less about the title character and more about Felicity. They should have killed her off when she got shot in the back.
Amell has played this character amazingly. It's not the humour of the green arrow comics as he is something else, he is someone else...(c wut i did ther) But the fact they exited on Felicity only shows that this has become the Felicity Show, and Amell doesn't deserve that. He is the RDJ of this universe(multiverse). He started it and has helped bring it to the expanded one with over 4 shows. It started with him, and it should have ended the same way.
Can you imagine if Marvel had ended Ironman 3 on Pepper going off to meet Tony? Instead of THE TITLE CHARACTER!
I feel sorry for Amell. He deserved better for someone who saved this city.
Arrow: Star City 2040 (2019)
Its called Arrow, not Smoak
As much as I like this series, it has gone so far downhill since its concept. Superhero work requires some detective work I get, but Green Arrow is supposed to take down the bad guys with a bit of a quip and Trick arrows. The darkness side borrows too much from Batman but I get it, He is the Batman of this universe.
This Flash forward episode looks to be a set up for a spin off after Season 8 ends it, but at this rate it looks like Amell will be taking a backseat to Rickards as she is pushed to the forefront. She was made the romantic interest over the comic staple of Black Canary, and much screen time is given to showing how capable she is as a tech genius and as overwatch. She would be better suited as a supporting character and letting the TITLE character do their thing.
The Fight choreography is seeming to get lazy as well. I never really understood why someone with a gun would move into melee range without firing a shot, and then fire only once the target is touching them... And since the stuntwoman's (or stuntperson's if you are that way inclined) face is visable, they just blur it out, even Speilberg put SFX in jurassic park to cover that up.
I feel the flash forward is a step in the wrong direction, but since its series is ending next year... it doesnt even matter
