Fun fact: The three highest rated Arrowverse episodes all feature Felicity's death or apparent death.

Diggle is the best character. He brings a gun to a gunfight, also body armour. Diggle is smart. Be like Diggle.

That Olicity stuff on social media is so dang creepy. Photoshopping Felicity's face on Stephen's real life wife? What in the entire hell?

Hi Prometheus, you tried to obliterate Felicity once and for all. Even if you failed, you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace

you forget to mention the fact that she hacked a crane. yeah youre damn right her "hacking" abilities are magical

Felicity recognises and remembers his DNA sequence? This quote will explain how stupid that is "Sequencing means determining the exact order of the base pairs in a segment of DNA. Human chromosomes range in size from about 50,000,000 to 300,000,000 base pairs." Dated 2003 from The Human Genome Project.

I had no idea this Olicity none sense has gone so far. CW fans are weird.

It pissed me off that Felicity was making such a huge deal over Oliver NOT telling her about HIS son. Where does she come off thinking that she has ANY say in what he does with HIS son? It is NONE of her goddamn business! Also, even after she learns that Oliver's baby momma told him not to tell anyone or he wouldn't be able to see his son again she STILL blamed Oliver? WTF?

Those Olicity fans are creepy as hell. It's almost like they're trying to live vicariously through that pairing and it's what gives them purpose in life.

Please tell me "executive producer speed weed" is real

Remember when Sara back in season 2 said that the league makes the special forces look like kindergarten

"You sent your son, whom of which I have never met, away. I should have had a say in this."

4:15 I'm glad I wasn't the only one who remembered that speech at the season finale lol

Felicity was adorable and had a voice of reason in seasons 1&2. Oliver was trained and smart but was still a bit reckless. She and Dig gave him some serious growth. Now she is always blinded by her emotions. It makes sense to happen at times but this was the case at all times for her. Its like their mentalities switched sides instead of having them both grow together.

Felicity's true name is Fel Fel Binks

So I'm not the only one that started hating Felicity after that "you can't trust me" nonsense. My wife actually didn't see how infuriating her behavior was until I started talking about it and went on a rant that was pretty much this entire video. Not to mention, Oliver STAYED WITH HER AFTER SHE WAS PARALYZED. Do you know how much commitment it takes to stay with a person and still want to marry them knowing they won't even be able to bath or take care of themselves? Even people that are happily married now could be broken by how heavy that burden can become and Oliver didn't even flinch. Then she gets her legs back and returns the ring because he didn't tell her everything about his son when she felt like it. It still makes me angry remembering how terrible her character became after 2 seasons of investment.

You nail the Felicity break up thing perfect. The single most irritating thing in the DC TV world is this. It's beyond selfish and stupid. It makes her easily hatable.

3:50 - 4:05 needed no words, and you not using any made it even better lol

I liked how he pointed out Green Arrow's declining fighting abilities. Because that really bothered me too. I mean, Damien Dark, (or however you spell it), is a bit understandable since he did train with Ra's Al Ghul. But the weird serial killer guy and some of the other examples he gave in the video had me slapping my forehead in frustration. I mean, seriously?! Those other guys should be chumps compared to Oliver!

I would have preferred Oliver to fight Raas with a bow. It totally made sense that he got his arse kicked the first time with Raas. But the most important thing about Oliver's combat skills is his accuracy with a bow. That's the kind of thing that could believably level the playing field somewhat. Can you imagine something like: Raas: "You did not fare so well the last time we fought." Oliver: "I didn't have the bow." The idea that Oliver who's had only sparred with Slade and Malcolm when it comes to swords amounting to a few months of experience can win a 1v1 against someone who's used them constantly for hundreds of years is ridiculous.

I read this on Reddit a while back, but it feels like a lot of the plot points of Season Four that didn’t work for Felicity were supposed to be for Laurel. Think about it... -Felicity is feeling the urge to get back into the game in the pilot? As she said, she had already been helping the team out from a distance because that’s what she already does. Laurel, on the other hand, makes sense to want to get back into crime fighting. Especially when you consider she’d only been doing it for a few months and to honor Sara. -Felicity questioning her place on the team? Again, her job primarily involves sitting down at a computer. Laurel, meanwhile, is out there in the field, and with the canary cry it would be a big loss if she was taken out of it. -Felicity getting angry about Oliver lying about William? I can understand it, but she knew he was a playboy long before she met him, and him having a kid in one of these affairs is likely. But you know who has a right to be angry? Laurel, since she was the one Oliver was cheating on when Samantha got pregnant. That’d be more than enough for anyone to at least put the engagement off, if not break up. It’s kinda depressing to think how people on the Internet with a keyboard and common sense can fix some of these issues in five minutes.

That bit of the arrow fandom saying all that creeper shit and photo shopping falicity's face overs sephans wifes face is the one of the more horrifying things Ive seen in a while

I hated Laurel fighting she went from Ameteur to a girl who could fuck up the league of assasins XD

Felicity ruined the show

I'm really enjoying these videos. You put into words two seasons worth of misery and pain (although season 4 puts season 3 into perspective; it's not the worst thing ever because S4 took its place).

god season 4 was just so bad

That was my number 1 problem with season 4: They made Oliver basically a newbie when it came to fighting.

Felicity is an issue where the writers wanted her to be a strong female character without understanding what makes a strong female character. Conviction, good judgement and strong moral character, the same thing that makes a strong male character makes a strong female character. Making them headstrong beyond reason, always “right” regardless of circumstance, and driven almost solely by strong emotion. All qualities that Felicity had IN SPADES.

Dona Smoak is the Jar-Jar bing of Arrow. Hilarious

god i hate felicity!!!!!!!!!

7:51 The city was renamed "in honor of" Ray Palmer because it was his idea. He proposed the renaming of the city to Star City when he had a meeting with the city after taking over Queen Consolidated.

Those people should not be saying that about Stephens wife. If he actually ever divorces his wife I will stop watching Arrow, I mean he has a DAUGHTER, these people are insane!

Felicity Smoak’s rise to main character is the equivalent of making C3P0 the main focus of the Star Wars saga

Felicity went from one of the best characters to one of the worst characters in the space of a season, screw felicity, I can't stand her in this series and want her to be killed off as she seems to be the most deserving (which is saying something considering what the other characters have done), also it would give the lance's a break, how many times do you have to bury your children. Damien dark could have been an interesting villain but like the flashbacks, I can't even remember why it was happening and what his goals or drive was. I could deal with them stealing from batman in season 3 (because it was just a story that works in this universe with the arrow) but season 4 was just batman with green arrow instead.

What really baffled me about Facility is after she took out that entire town, feeling very little guilt she morally shames the team, especially Oliver over and over again for excessive force in cases and how they elect to handle situations. She destroyed a whole town of innocent people! Even if it was the best case scenario, she has no right to crap all over the team when they maintain the same type of "needs of the many, outweigh the needs of a few" mentality.

I really wished that HIVE was how it was in Teen Titans.

The only thing I like about season 4 is that Damien Darhk looks like Gunther from Friends. It never stopped being hilarious. The fact that he was supposed to be menacing just made it funnier.

Felicity should have died and Oliver should have ended up with Laurel

You have failed this omelet

I feel like Season 3 of Arrow could've been so much better if it had just been written more coherently. I thought the first half was great, but if we had just had Oliver thinking 'Woah, Ras killed Sara for leaving the league,' that would've been so much simpler and easier to follow than Malcolm's convoluted plot. Having Oliver mope around for awhile was ridiculously stupid, and having him actually join the League for more than THREE episodes would've fixed so much. I also absolutely hated that Oliver was never committed to the League, and it was just a trick, as it made so much of the story feel completely worthless. If we had Oliver join the League around episode thirteen (after Ras destroys his life in Starling, as that was great), we could've spent awhile with Oliver actually forming a bond with this Ras, instead of just being talked at a bunch. If Oliver viewed Ras as a Father figure, it could've lended so much to their relationship, which just falls flat in the version we got. The back half of Season 3 could've gone as follows: A. Oliver comes back to defend Starling against the League. B. Ras destroys his life in Starling and Roy Harper dies a result (not drives away in a car, actually dies). C. We see Oliver join the League of Assassins in an actual committed role, and develop a real connection with Ras al Ghul. D. Ras and Oliver willingly go out and do something that seems worthwhile, but it develops a moral conflict within Oliver, as Ras' methods and not as pure as he would like, but Oliver's willingness to kill without mercy in the past allows him to sidestep his moral compass. E. Oliver is pitted against his former teammates due to circumstances involving the League's morals, but with Oliver being numbed to their more extreme tendencies, he attempts to get his friends to look the other way. They refuse, and Oliver refuses to kill them at Ras' command. F. Ras is infuriated at Oliver's betrayal, and feeling as though he has lost a Son, he decides to destroy Starling City himself. Then, Oliver and Ras fight. Oliver wins, everyone is happy, victory for good. If a stupid kid sitting on his laptop can come up with this better version of the same story, why did the professional writers of this show gives us such a convoluted mess.

I feel like Ras al Ghul telling Oliver to destroy Starling City would be a lot better if it was pushed by tradition or something. "I flooded the village I had come from. The Ras before me burnt his home. For millenia this has been the way, and it will continue to be the way forever."

I waited centuries for this

Felicity- I can hack a nuke with an iPad......

Felicity losing her shit because Oliver respected the wishes of his childs mother then immediately proceeding to find a new boyfriend that's about as interesting as wet paper is where I started disliking the character and honestly it makes season 5 hard to watch for me.

Superhero shows in a nutshell: Protagonist: I can’t do it Side character: Yes you can Protagonist: I did it Side character: Yay

I thought it was hilarious how the writers couldn’t figure out how save the hero’s so they brought in Barry to fix the problems but when they ask him to quickly stop ras al Gould which he could have done in a minute he makes an excuse that nah I got to stop zoom

16:21 "PLEASE die in a fire!!!" "oh, oh, oh thank you! I, I appreciate that" LMAO

I stopped watching after 3. That ommlet joke reassures me I missed nothing.

God these videos are like therapy for putting myself through seasons 3 and 4. Forgot how much a cancer felicity was

"I was gonna go with 'Oracle', but it's taken." Lol, so is "Overwatch". ; )

Oof. You're bringing back so many bad memories. Arrow broke my heart, man. I went from absolutely loving season 1 and 2 to having that same sinking feeling you described in season 3 to finally just giving up in season 4. Such a bummer.

The silent cuts are just so hilarious and well put, I manage to cry every time. Encore.

Jeeeeeeez… When I heard that Benedict Cumberbatch fangirls were sending threatening messages to Cumberbatch’s girlfriend, I thought that was downright uncomfortable. But this… THIS is a whole different level of yikes. I honestly had to *shield my eyes* from those PhotoShopped images. “Disturbing” doesn’t even BEGIN to describe these extreme Olicity fans.

The Oliver Felicity thing would've been fine if it was season 1 or 2 Felicity, but her character changed so much and lost all of her quirkiness and rationality that was the foundation of her character. I get that people change in relationships, but she is mental. Reminds me of one of my exes, actually. Maybe that experience is what gave me the patience for it, lol

you forgot to mention that Felicity stands up and walks for the first time after being in a wheelchair specifically to walk out on Oliver in that moment lol.

You're right! Damien Darhk had the cheapest way to film superpowers ever. At least in Legends of Tomorrow 2x16 it looks a lot better. The budget must have gotten increased a lot.

Omg thank you for this!! I thought I was the only one who thought this. The felicity storyline got on my nerves and I was appalled at how she was mad at Oliver over the William situation. I only kept watching because I had hope him and Laurel would get back together but NOPE they disappointed me

Yeah, her dumping him for having a son was bad, just terrible. "Donna Smoak is the worst." Not really. There are plenty of worse characters in the multi show series. Also the lack of Constantine mentioning saddens me.

This 3-part video series is awesome! Good work.

you just made me hate season 4 more

I wrote a song about my opinion of the universe's creation! "Blang" *NO.*

Quality made video. You deserve more subscriber!

i love these vids keep it up honestly i dont know how many times ive watched these vids there just funny, informative and very enjoyable

That Olicity fans thing reminds me of when I was in school watching Vampire Diaries and one of the male leads got married. It was nuts. I saw so many creepy messages about how the girl lead was the only one for him and that his wife clearly doesn't deserve him. It was pretty gross. As a past Supernatural fan I'm used to the writers taking writing advice from Tumblr tho. As bad as Olicity got I can assure you SPN has it worse.

did it get better well i wrote a song about it "NO" lmao

Honestly you can’t have arrow without black canary and by black canary I mean Dinah - his pretty bird - who he always ends up marrying and loving in the comics. Though I haven’t watched this show in a while so I don’t know if with their Dinah if that would ever be possible.

Choreography aside, Darkh and a few others were supposed to be league level fighters BUT everything else you brought up I said during the season and I'm over 9000% in agreement with. They gave felicity's family and entire episode to deal with her parents getting back together and she was against it.

I come back to these videos religiously at this point

The hacking in arrow makes the movie Hackers look like a documentary.

7:42 They changed the name because Ray wanted Star city to be the name, to symbolize that Star city was a new city with a brighter future than Starling city.

I love these videos, they made me realize why I just started thinking all of a sudden that the show is not good and stopped watching it. I am now a sub

Great stuff my man, some great stuff you got there on your channel, well done!

a few things i can say is season 5 was almost flawless, best villain and best peaks from oliver

I hated how easily they could fight the league.

11:13 I remember when I saw that 3-arrow deflect. That was absolutely gorgeous.

you forgot how Season 3 turned Nanda Parbat into a holiday resort, were everyone knew where it is and can go there whenever they want, and that's were Oliver and Felicity first had candle lit sex in a luxurious suite.

I hated Laurel soooo much, I'm glad he pointed out her magical increase in fighting skill, i found that really really cringy.

I would except green arrows fighting being nerfed if someone said "oh your alot less powerful probably because you haven't been fighting for months".

The episode where Oliver learned that he had a son was the same episode that I hated Felicity. So narcissistic of her...

I recently read the first storyline of the Green Arrow Rebirth comics and there was this character Wendy who was Oliver’s secretary and who died in the first issue. I always considered Wendy the comic’s answer to how a Felicity would be like in the real GA-universe

I think that setting up oliver joining the league at the end of the season was a good idea...as a set up for season four where they could actually show him being the new Ra’s Ahl Gul

He wasn't just trained by Ra's he was also trained by Malcolm Merlyn and also Slade Wilson, 3 of the most skillful Master assassins in the whole entire arrowverse

Dude I love your channel

Olicity was just the daftest thing ever. It was just so random. One episode, Oliver's not in love with her, and the very next - he was! No build-up, no foreshadowing, not even a hint that this is going to happen. Oliver went from considering her a friend and colleague to suddenly being in love with her. For no reason! And the CW didn't stop with Arrow when they did this. Anyone remember how Ray Palmer magically fell in love with Kendra? After someone suggested it, no less? The only good thing about the later seasons of the DC shows are the crossovers, which are my favourites to watch.

Anyone else really appreciate Felicity falling down a fight of stairs in legends season 2?

Weird, felicity was so much likable in flash. Then again, it's the only cw dc show that I watch besides legends of tomorrow.

Kinda think this is generous, Felicity already started being terrible in Season 2 when they bumped her up to the clear love interest instead of Laurel. Suddenly she's talking about Oliver's years of torture on an island as 'Fantasy Island' because she's jealous that he dated other girls?!?! WTF. If someone's wife said that to a survivor of torture... they would divorce immediately, it's emotional abuse. And that episode where she 'takes it upon herself' to take out the clock king because, once again, she's jealous of oliver's relationship with another woman - Sara. It's a miracle she didn't try to murder Laurel and Thea in their sleep so she'd be the only woman Oliver would ever focus on.

10:36 the bar Oliver is thrown into bends back into shape as he gets up.

Dona Smoak you have failed this season

Corrections 0:31 - Malcolm knows more on the League than Oliver, that's Why He has to trust him 1:48 Laurel had received training from Nyssa AT THE TIME 3:21 Can Ra's Al Ghul Predict the Future? 4:00 They were Probably Faking it 4:11 Bruh Alot has happened since that 10:17 The City believes Roy is the Arrow and considering He Faked Die, Taking the Name Green Arrow is different 13:30 Green Arrow was Literately a RIPOFF of Batman when He was Introduced 14:08 If She was in a Situation where Millions could Die, then yeah, Maybe She would Acknowledge it but She doesn't have the time to grief

I was going to make a video detailing all you just said, but you've put it across so well I can't touch that! Glad to see I'm not the only one who noticed this shit

I love your videos. They're so spot on

If I were Stephens wife I would be so pissed. I just went to a picture of him and his wife on Instagram, and the top comment was "Your wife @emilybett looks amazing." Pretty much all of the comments were about Emily Bett. There were even people speculating problems in his marriage based off of how he looked in the picture. It's disrespectful as hell.

Your take on Felicity is exactly how I feel. She ruined the show for me. Plus the added which hero's girlfriend is she now plot Ollie, Barry and Ray all fell.for her.

Everything I said from the last video applies, but also: Screw you, I love the omelette joke. EDIT: Also, your editing style is really funny. Even when you make a point I don’t agree with, the editing gets a good chuckle out of me.

That darude sandstorm piece with the hacking literally had me in tears. You sir got yourself a subscriber

if he was inn the league of assassins like dark then he should be able to fight better

I laughed when felicity just stood up and left

Why am I just seeing this now?? Amazing work sir.

this digest is gaaaaaaannnngg funny hahahahah!!! Laughed throughout thanks for this man!
