User blog:Taw2541/I am officially done with Arrow

The last four years of Arrow have been difficult for me to watch because of several reasons but it is I have narrowed it down to several reasons. The nail in the coffin for me is the relationship between Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak. For the past four years, this relationship has been the slow downfall of the show because primarily they are not supposed to be together according to the comics. But overall, it is a relationship that has made Felicity an annoying, unlikable, frustrating, and hypocritical character; and the fact that Oliver and the Arrow's writers have ignored for to long. I understand that comic-based shows don't have to follow the source material to an exact letter but their are crucial areas you should just never ignore. Hearing about the rumors and later learning about the confirmation of the wedding between the two makes me angry at so many levels.

From the begining, I knew that Season 6 was going to be a make or break it season for me this year and sadly the Crossover ended it for me. This was not the only reason I am choicing to stop watching this show are also the Death of Laurel Lance, the disrespect of the Black Canary, the fact of Oliver's inability to truly learn from his mistakes and rise above his inner demons, and changing too much of the comic source material. To make matters worse I wanted to see more of Slade Wilson's story arc and learn of Black SIren's backstory, but now I just don't think I can do it anymore because of my faith in the show and writers is now shattered.

There was one or two things that could maybe want to watch this show again but it is doubtful that it will happen; Arrow, Marc Guggenheim, Wendy Mericle, and OLICITY fangirl: YOU HAVE FAILED THIS SHOW!
