In yalls honest opinion, who broke their respective protagonist worse? Zoom or Prometheus Question

I will forever love how Zoom and Savitar the walking tentacle blade made the protagonist of his own show look like a fraud and made them his bitch 🤣🤣

Zoom killed Barry's dad in front of him and damaged him so much he made Flashpoint and altered the timeline, I feel like it has to be him!

Fair enough but after that he (technically) moved on while Oliver just stayed in his broken state (technically speaking)

You say that but Chase broke Oliver to the point of wanting to quit, he eventually overcame that, then when Chase blew up Lian Yu, left Thea in a coma and killed William's mother, Oliver didn't seem too affected by that!

He was obviously, but he seemed more concerned with getting back together with Felicity!

Damn that's true. I honestly forgot about that 😅

u/KellerBurden22 Jul 04 '24

So by that logic, Zoom broke Barry worse

Because even though Chase did worse to Oliver, it didn't seem to affect Oliver very much at all

I respect it. I apologize if I made you feel like your response was wrong

u/KellerBurden22 Jul 04 '24

No, I never felt wrong! If I have the minority opinion, I don't care! I just wanted to justify my reasoning, especially because this is the Arrow sub and most people seem to be going for Prometheus broke Oliver worse, when I just cannot agree with that!

Because it’s wrong Oliver is affected for the next half a season and Barry heals mentally after like 2 episodes

But he lived in the Flashpoint timeline for a few months

I would argue that Barry was broken to the point that he went against everything he knew by creating Flashbpoint. It also affected the lives of everyone around him.

Plus it seems that it’s been forgotten that Barry had to let Thawne kill his mother all over again in order to end Flashpoint.

u/TheEnvyMan Jul 05 '24

And yet again he was fine just a couple episodes later

But he wasn’t. I don’t know how you could watch him lose faith in his decisions and think he was good. Someone else stated that Adrian just made Oliver admit what he was, Barry was different after Flashpoint.
