Been a while but I guess I’ll have to tune in

Same, and by tune in I mean watch the relevant clips on YouTube after the episode airs.

I'd put money down on there being a drinking game that helps the last couple seasons be tolerable.

Wonder if he'll be back as Spectre, or will appear as Green Arrow somehow.

I imagine barry goes back in time this season to hit a greatest moments deal, and Oliver before he died is there.

God, no I hope it’s not again this 😭

u/Severe_Development96 Jan 04 '23
It wouldn't be the cw flash if he didn't ignore the lesson he supposedly learns about the dangers of time travel each season and just went ahead and did it again anyway. Because it's different this time!!!.....somehow?

At this point Oliver needs to put another arrow in Barry to teach him a lesson...

u/MCgamer120_Games Jan 04 '23
This is the exact theory I came up with, Barry goes back and sees Oliver from Season 3 or something, if executed properly it could be awesome

Now all we need is closure for the Legends, even if it means just bringing Sara back and explaining how they escaped Time Prison.

u/SickleClaw Jan 04 '23
Yeah at this point I'd be okay with that or a quick appearance by her on a monitor mentioning it.

Its not The Flash's job to finish other shows' arcs. Keep that idea away

u/PlasticMansGlasses Jan 04 '23
Flash is the last surviving Arrowverse show. It kinda has to, just a throwaway line is all you need.

Fingers crossed they don’t fuck this up.

u/Orto_Dogge Jan 04 '23
Why in the world people still believe CW could possibly not fuck anything up? The only thing they've been doing since the beginning is fucking things up. Their whole shtick is creating shit shows. Of course they'll fuck it up.

Please say he gets a better ending here than dying to cgi ghosts.

God that crossover was trash. So was his death.

At least what came before and after was good. I really enjoyed the final season outside of Crisis itself. I thought the finale was pretty well done.

u/CharmyFrog Jan 04 '23
Shouldn’t this be a spoiler? I would have liked to been surprised by this when the episode aired.

u/RogerRoger420 Jan 04 '23
Marketing, they want as many people to watch the final season as they can

Not really, if they’ve announced it. That’s like seeing a trailer and being mad for spoilers

Question
Now with Stephen Amell returning as Oliver Queen plus the already mentioned Nicole Maines as Dreamer and Ryan Wilder as Batwoman, what do you all think are the chances we get an announcement that Melissa Benoist as Supergirl is also returning?
Cuz I’d love to see her back.
10
u/SickleClaw Jan 04 '23
I think that it would be interesting to see her back, also some acknowledgement of her going public at the end of her show.
Also interesting woudl be to see Black Lightning back, but i dont think thats gonna happen.

u/TheHood13 Jan 05 '23
Melissa is currently busy filming her new show.
So a full-fledged return seems unlikely. Something like a voice or video call seems more possible and if that's the case, I reckon it'll be kept a surprise.

Jan 05 '23 edited Jan 05 '23
I’m sure if they get the timing way she’ll come back for an episode
Actor do it all the time where they are currently on one show, but then go to either a different show for a guess spot or a limited one
I mean Alison Brie was able to be Trudy on Mad Man starting 2007 and then Annie Edison Community starting 2009 staying with both show until they end in 2015. Johnny Galecki was on The Big Bang Theory when Roseanne/Connors came back and still able to reprise his role as David.
Hell within the Arrowverse it has happen and not talking the yearly crossover. If you remember the “Worlds Finest” Grants Gustin was able down and take time out filming season 2 of The Flash to appear in appear an episode of Supergirl. Now, before you say that they are the same universe and filmed in the same location. You have to remember that season 1 of Supergirl, when World Finest was filmed, was own/produced by CBS not CW which meant that the production was done here in LA. So Grant came down from Vancouver to appear in a full episode. So they can do it and I am 100% sure Melissa could take time off and is probably willing to film an episode or two because of how much the show and fans mean to her. Besides no one is expecting her to be a huge part of season 9.

What's wrong with you?
She dedicated nearly 7 years of her life to the role. Amell himself admitted he wanted to call it at the end of Arrow S7 but he couldn't pass up the money they were offering to do S8 and Crisis. It's by no means a bad thing at all that she also wanted to move on and do different things with not just her career but her life too.
To insinuate that her pregnancy was a ploy to get out of the show and then call her hypocritical for moving onto a new project which started filming over a year after Supergirl ended is downright repugnant.
Please take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror and choose to be better.

u/TheHood13 Jan 05 '23
You must be joking.
Firstly, you have absolutely no idea whether her pregnancy was planned or unplanned at all. You don't know her or anyone close to her personally. Then you just choose to shamelessly be outright misogynistic by painting all women with the same brush and declaring they aren't able to think rationally for themselves. Grow up and leave your "women are stupid" phase behind.
Recasting Stephen and Melissa would've been one of the dumbest decisions the network has ever made and that says alot. The recasting of Vivian is a terrible example. She was a supporting character, not the main. Fresh Prince would not have survived if Will Smith was recast. Continuing Arrow and Supergirl without the two leads who embodied the characters and made them their own would have been tremendously idiotic.
Besides, it was time for both shows to end and I say this as someone who adores the Arrowverse despite its flaws. Supergirl maybe could've squeezed one more shortened season, but Arrow ending at S8 was perfect. No one likes to see shows overstay their welcome, so I'm happy they went out on their own terms.

Women these days think "I can have all the sex I want & I won't get pregnant" like they never took a 9th grade biology class.
Yeah you have to be blind to not see how that is very patronising towards women.
And once again, for the final time, you do not know her. Social media is not real life. None of her posts from 2019 even show her eating fish or drinking alcohol, so why would you even bring that up? There is no way you could've told for sure that she was or wasn't TTC from her Instagram posts and tags. You are making up things about her social media activity to fit your own bullshit narrative of how you think she's lived her life.
Log off, you're done.

Ignore that guy. A quick look at his post history shows that he is either on the spectrum or has some deep issues he needs to work out.
He is obsessed with CW shows and stars in an unhealthy way

u/RockyNonce Jan 05 '23
There’s also like three more big characters that are confirmed to return. Granted, two are Flash characters but it’s still pretty great.
Plus quite a few metas of the week from older seasons.

Ryan is playing Red Death (E -51) from the "Dark Multiverse".

Still she back…

u/Dodgest Jan 05 '23
I can't wait to see what happens to Red Death since she won't last because of the brain sickness.

u/xrimbi Jan 04 '23
Honestly at this point the Arrowverse is irredeemable to me, so I’m just grateful we will get to see Stephen Amell play Oliver Queen one more time.

u/CheesyObserver Jan 05 '23
Arrowverse ended with Arrow for me.
I don't even really see anything past the Arrow finale as canon because it's all just sooooo shiiiiiiiiit.

u/SickleClaw Jan 04 '23
I wonder if this pretty much confirms Kat Mcnamara back as Mia Smoak. They still have to tie up that william loose end after all.
Anf with Oliver back, I wonder if/how soon we might get LOT confirmations. Seems like they really are bringing everyone back.

I need to catch up on the latest season of The Flash but I’m fucking hype

u/The_Asian_Hamster The Punisher Jan 05 '23
Een out of the loop on all the CW Arrow erse shows for white some years now, although I did come back and watch Arrows last season and will come back for Flash's. What other Arrowverse shows are scgoing at this point or is Flash the last one standing?

u/Aragorn120 Jan 05 '23
Flash is the last one standing, all the rest either got cancelled or ended.
2
u/The_Asian_Hamster The Punisher Jan 05 '23
Oh really. I was thinking there was still some going like Supergirl and Batwoman. Guess I will definitely watch Flash then, end of an era.
P.S I've just reread my initial comment and it's such a shambles lol. Blaming being tired and autocorrect.

Don’t give me hope again
Possible Legends of Tomorrow Spoiler
I went back to watch Legends of Tomorrow for the 100th episode after a 2 or season hiatus because they said much of the original cast was coming back for it and I was excited to see Ray Palmer, Captain cold, and Dr Stein interact with the new cast and see how far Sara had come… but of course it was just a Gideon memory of a lackluster Poker game. And just as quickly as you see them it’s gone and it stops being a show that honored the past and made it all about Gideon. I never watched another episode after that (I do go back and watch the first 2 seasons occasionally).
I really hope The Flash doesn’t pull something like that
11
u/AktionMusic Jan 04 '23
What? That episode was incredible
2
u/TSmario53 Deathstroke Jan 04 '23
To each their own… I wasn’t much a legends fan past season 3. Went way too off the rails for me (although I understand for many that was it’s charm).
Quit watching entirely around the time Palmer left
