Well, the fans are outraged. The producers have dug Laurel Lance's grave and buried themselves in it.

How could this have been a wise move? With so many followers of the show screaming that Arrow is becoming a teen drama and many people saying they killed her to advancd the ship between Oliver and Felcity. They kill such a vital character to his development, the person who encouraged him to be a hero after his mother's death and has helped him ever since and she gets stuck with such a worthless death. It adds nothing to the story of Oliver's balance between his darkness and light. If he killed Ra's al Ghul, he would have killed Damien Darhk just the same without her death as motivation.

Keep in mind, such a large portion of the fan-base were rooting for Oliver and Laurel to get back together and they'll probably all trot off to Marvel or something because of this and many believe that they killed her to boost Olicity.

I speak truthfully when I say that I don't give a flying fakafta about these stupid ships. Olicity happened and I will learn to live with it but I do care about this show's standard and they probably dropped the ball with this.
