Someone actually called DeVoe the best Arrowverse villain? What the Hell is he smoking? And you're right. This is the problem. They keep getting praised for minimal effort and don't see a reason to strive for anything better. They think they've already achieved it.

It says something about these superheroes when their bad guys have been villans for all of them. What? One can't defeat them so another one has to try and then another one?  Why couldn't Batman defeat the Riddler? He doesn't look like a hard guy to defeat.  That's one of the things the movies and even the tv shows never bother addressing; which is the recurring nature of some of these characters, namely the villains. Sure, it seems like a joke that the Riddler or the Joker should be stopped by someone like Batman only to be able to come back and do it all again in perpetuity, but the other extreme has been to do their story once, often beating it to death and then some in shows like Arrow or Flash, and then ending their story permanently, generally by killing them; which just sort of squanders the story potential of these characters and the rivalry and history between them and the protagonists. It shouldn't be easy for these criminals to escape and terrorize their towns every other week, but a tv show isn't going to be around nearly as long as the comics have, so these characters finding their way back a few times over the course of an entire series shouldn't be that much of a stretch to make work in a believable way; between coordinated prison breaks either from the inside, by criminals too smart for ordinary prisons, or from the outside by new villains wanting to make use of these other antagonists who can cause chaos in the heroes life, to just simply being paroled, because they aren't all necessarily psychopathic killers or need to be. Personally, I really liked the take in the comics where they briefly had Riddler reformed and had him working as a private investigator. I thought that really worked well for the character and was very disappointed when they had him go back to being a villain.  They have Gotham. They could have the show end with him being reformed now that he is with Lee. They have The Penguin help Jim all the time but I wouldn't trust that slimy weasel. He's always up to no good. |

The full lineup of the Longbow Hunters has been revealed and it consists of Diaz, Kodiak, Red Dart, and The Silencer. What is surprising and extremely disappointing here is they left out the most well known and powerful member of the group, Killer Moth and while it might have been 'cause there are plans to use the character on 'Gotham', 'Titans' or 'Batwoman' it seems like an odd move 'cause Killer Moth could be a good addition to the show if handled right and is powerful enough to be a threat on his own.

Not surprised they would do something like this. It's what they've been doing for the last seven years.

I think the Killer Moth thing maybe for the best Arrow tends to not do too well with too powerful or skilled characters, they overpower them too early then quickly nerf them to allow for the heroes to attack and run for 20+ episodes, or they could be smart and se the character but be holding them off for the final arc of the season where they can be badass and powerful for several episodes without the drag of the dozen or so times they could have and should have killed Oliver but didn't because "reasons"...reason being MG is a dumbfuck, thank Christ he's gone.

Yeah, we don't have to have the writers hurt themselves thinking of how to properly utilize the abilities or skills of a character. That way they can continue to under achieve and we won't be too disappointed.

Those people belong in mental institutions and the writers need to stop listening to them and giving into their wishes because they are feeding their addiction. Send them to the loony bin. |

Some people are stupid and want to infect the world with their idiocy. Instead of indulging their diseased fantasies you should ignore them and hope they die alone and unloved.

I think the problem with the 'Arrowverse' shows at this point is we may expect too much from them and they are never going to be able to come up with anything spectacular or on the level of the DC Comic Books 'cause they don't take the shows seriously enough anymore and aren't willing to spend more time on coming up with better storylines especially when they have journalists saying how good they are and fans like the Olicity fans saying Olicity was the greatest relationship in TV show history. During the earlier seasons they probably paid more attention to them 'cause there was always that fear they could be dropped but now they have lasted this many seasons and a lot of fans think there is no way any of them are going to be cancelled they are used to it and don't think it is worth the extra effort.

Well, that's more the problem of the producer then the fans because they could have ignored them and continued doing the show as they originally planned it. But they got addicted to the adoration and began making a show to cater to one segment of the fandom, at the detriment of the show. Which has never recovered and never will.

Well it's also I think down to MG being part of that fandom and sharing in their idiotic and addled capacity to think or be creative, and the inability to grasp a simple concept with TV and movies in that show not tell is the best way to put something across, especially helpful when the show and tell aren't fucking in contrast to one another.
