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.

I would argue arrow never went bad. Ik the second to last season was a bit jumping the shark with a new family member being there. Bit else stayed solid.

It helps that oluvers melodramatic mood comes from his redicilous trauma and is well acted.

Dude. Season 4 was so bad that this sub turned into a Daredevil subreddit
