Stryzzar wrote: Actually an asspull is characterized by having no foreshadowing at all and just thrown out there with no warning. Most BS plottwists would fall under that category. Except it was forshadowed. In season four, they were forshadowing Laurel's promise by having Laurel talk to Oliver in private before she died. Season five had a flashback of Oliver vowing to keep the promise of training another Black Canary. Oliver was reminded of it in Who Are You? and decided to find one. What followed was not an asspull, but a rushed plotline since they immediately found the right Black Canary.
