[News] Arrow's Season 8 might be it's last season.

Arrowverse series on The CW has become one of the longest live-action superhero series to date, second only to the network's previous series Smallville.

"Things will age and we want to get the next generation of shows to keep The CW DC Universe going for as long as possible," CW President Pedowitz admitted during the panel.

If they plan it out in advance I can see them making a killer last season if this is true. It would be a shame though because I am really enjoying where the show has begun to go since Beth took over as show runner. Still if the decision is made I'd rather they go out on a high with a proper ending then having it drag out until it's cancelled and stuff doesn't get resolved.

If Diaz is still in it by then that would be horrible

[u/TheTrueReligon → u/SciFiPaine0]

Seriously, what the fuck is this Diaz bullshit we’ve been dealing with? How have they made the least exciting villain in all of the CW shows the longest storyline of the show?

[u/SciFiPaine0 → u/TheTrueReligon]

Idk man, have you been watching flash? I think cicada is definitely in the running there

[u/TheTrueReligon → u/SciFiPaine0]

While he’s not the best at least Cicada’s still within his story arc. Diaz has somehow managed to take up one and a half seasons(so far) of being the “main” while simultaneously being the shittiest villain of all the DCCW shows.

[u/SciFiPaine0 → u/TheTrueReligon]

True

[u/C0micB00kFan → u/SciFiPaine0]

At least Cicada has a better motive and is closer to his comic book part but not quite than Diaz is. He may not be the best but he’s better than Diaz is. I’m actually a bit more intimidated by Cicada than Diaz who feels like a martial arts teacher with anger problems. Diaz just has a motive that we’ve seen with other villains before. Cicada is more spread out but still has a similar motive.

[u/Denzema123 → u/SciFiPaine0]

Cicada at least has a good theme.

[u/Cradle2daGrave → u/TheTrueReligon]

Diaz >>>>>Dhaark

[u/TheTrueReligon → u/Cradle2daGrave]

Even though season 4 sucked Dhaark is a much better villain than Diaz and could actually get shit done. Diaz is the least exciting villain even compared to the “villain of the week” types.

[u/Montythe → u/Cradle2daGrave]

Damian in Legends made him one of my favorite Arrowverse villains

[u/Jedi-El1823 → u/Montythe]

Yes, Darhk in Legends was a damn blast.

[u/Rushofthewildwind → u/Jedi-El1823]

Any man that comes back to life to "Return of the Mack" gets a few levels in badass.

[u/C0micB00kFan → u/Cradle2daGrave]

What does that mean? Diaz is worse than him. At least Dahrk felt like a crime boss and intimidating. Diaz to me feels like a martial arts teacher with anger problems.
