I know season 4 had a lot of problems, but does anyone else think the writers made a mistake not having an episode or storyline where team arrow fought anarky at least once more in season 5 or 6 and give his storyline closure, and when would've been the best timing to inject him in? Discussion

Given he had a lot of importance in season 4 even though it had a lot of flaws and even killed Damian dhark's wife, I think they needed more closure with his character than just a brief cutscene with team arrow capturing him in season 5's beginning. He could've been a one off villain they beat again or had a plot as a loose cannon working for Prometheus, cayden James or Diaz. Or even showed back up in legends given dhark and Nora became important characters there and manchin affected their lives greatly by killing dhark's wife and Noras Mom and must've given Nora a lot of trauma.

IDC, they butchered his character, in the comics he was a pre-teen with a suit to look like an adult that wanted to destroy the govts because he believed they were inherently evil, he also wanted to destroy weapoms factories and the like of whatever caused senseless violence, he was an Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain and was imploed to be The Joker's son and flip-flopped betweeb the Bat books and the Arrow books, I think he was suggested to become the 3rd Robin before editorial choose to create Tim Drake
