User blog comment:Danielpickering/Has Stephen Amell caused the Death of Arrow?/@comment-31614978-20180114233256

To answer your question "no". Because to me Olicity is such a small part of the problem with Arrow that even if it was removed, it wouldn't make this season significantly better. The problems with Arrow is more to do with execution and the story. The reason I hate this season is that its just repeating what's already come before, i.e. a villain who wants revenge against Oliver is attacking the city, meanwhile Oliver is lying to a loved one and I should really set up a betting pool on both how long it'll take for this secret to come out, and how it'll take for said person to give them.
