Oliver left and didn't become Green Arrow, I was hoping for Roy to return and become red Arrow if Oliver left, Thea is now a girl version of a boy character in the comics, Malcolm is now Ra's, and Ray didn't shrink. Season 4 better kick ass. Roy won't come back because Colton Haynes is going to do other stuff as his actor. Also, Thea isn't the girl version of a boy character, she's Arrow's version of Mia Dearden, which is a female Speedy When I said boy character, I mean't Roy's character, Roy being a boy. But Thea isn't a girl version of Roy, because Roy is quite literally the equivalent of the comics character. She's a translation of Mia Dearden, it seems. she sort of in a way is, because she uses his suit now, and I don't remember anyone seeing anyone under the Arsenal/Speedy suit, besides Team Arrow. Diggle and Roy both also used Oliver's suit. And Laurel used Sara's jacket. That doesn't mean that Diggle, Roy, and Laurel are "versions" of Oliver and Sara. Thea is definitely an equivalent of Mia Dearden, and she even used the name Mia in Corto Maltese. It wouldn't make sense if she just randomly got a costume. Having Roy give her the costume makes sense and is a good send-off to Roy.. Other than the use of the same costume,  don't see what makes Thea a girl-version of Roy.
