Not that, what didn't make sense was specifically finding a girl conveniently with Canary's powers just waiting to be recruited. With Jax, he was reluctant, Team Flash encountered complications with Tokamak, it just felt more natural. I agree, spreading out the story and making it feel more natural before finding a real Black Canary would have been better. They also can introduce other Birds of Prey and Black Canary characters like they did with Evelyn.

@Aspiring It wasn't an asspull cause they didn't outright say that was their plan since season one.
