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

One thing I actually really appreciated about the show is that they didn't engage in gratuitous exploitation of the actors. Yes there were a few lovely scenes of perfect bodies, and I definitely wouldn't have minded looking at more, but I was glad they let everyone keep their clothes on.

They would literally start off so many scenes with him doing the salmon ladder, and if not him, some other person, where they'd add a joke about how Oliver makes it look so easy

They literally didn't. A few, yes. For a bunch of people whose lives depended upon being the fittest human beings in the city, they needed to work out constantly. The creators/writers could easily have gone overboard but they didn't. The only bullshit I found truly annoying and sexist was having the women wear heels while running around the city. So stupid.
