season 2, they tried to destroy LA with a nuke. How did you miss that? season 5 - the Sentox nerve gas was used to try to kill hundreds of thousands of people in LA, and then Bierko used the final canister to hijack a sub to launch missles at a city. season 6 - the suitcase nukes were going to destroy cities around the US and one went off in Valencia. season 8 - nuclear rods season 9 - drones

Tony wasn't written off the show after season 3. He was written out of six, but came back in 7 and if they had a 10th season, the scene on the season 9 blu ray implies that Tony would return.

I keep using 24 as I'm rewatching it right now and it's fresh in my mind. How your memory can be this bad that you would state that there was no mention that the city was trying to be destroyed is ridiculous.

In season 1 of Arrow, Malcolm's plan isn't even to destroy the city, just a specific part of it.
