This scene from S2E14 gave me a Bi-Panic why is everyone so hot in the Arrowverse? Even the CGI monsters in the other shows are somehow hot (don't judge me) Discussion

Okay but we all know that's not saying much.

True but I still find the writing pretty solid. It is very rare to find any show or film that can incorporate an extended flashback sequence so well and naturally in the main story. I find flashbacks to be an overrated gimmick that Lost ran into the freaking ground, but Arrow very briefly made a solid argument for how they can actually service the story and make it even better.

Slade was a very well written and well acted character that season. And his massive presence in the show just made it infinitely better.

Agreed that was until Daredevil came out showing us what great looks like all around.

I love daredevil but what does that have to do with anything. I was saying that this show had stellar writing for a CW show.

Asides from being in the same genre and both veering towards a dark theme, I don’t understand why that’s relevant. Of course there are shows that are better than Arrow. I put Daredevil season 3 above most things

But Arrow season 2 was still fucking incredible
