Hambergite, I get what you are saying about Colton Haynes' situation. My issue wasn't why he left the show, I was aware of the fact that it was a mutual decision. My issue was always on the way he was used on the show, especially in season three up until his last episode. The character has such a rich history in the comics, but on the show, many times, it seemed that he was used as an extra while Felicity was the center of almost every episode. My issue was that he was underdeveloped.

I watch lots of TV and I know that it is usual for main characters to die. Hell my favorite show is Game of Thrones!!! I didn't like the fact that they decided to kill the one character on the show, who is one of the most famous female DC superheroes and Green Arrow's supporting characters, especially after showing Laurel's struggle to get to that point of becoming BC just last season. And my biggest issue with Laurel's death was actually what you just mentioned "she was killed as part of a trope where a bad guy kills a female character just to show how bad he is"...A character like Black Canary deserves more than that. Finally it just doesn't make sense to me why would you kill BC from a Green Arrow show, as many other people said it's like killing Lois Lane from a Superman movie...
