This series will be a brief, semi-comedic review of the CW superhero shows. You can check out last week’s review post here. The only shows discussed will be ‘Arrow’, ‘Flash’, and ‘Supergirl’. There WILL be some spoilers discussed, so only look at the reviews you’re up to date on!
1. Arrow, “Deathstroke Returns” (Nov 9th)
Arrow continues to make the odd choice of keeping Stephen Amell from leading an episode. Oliver staying out of the hood makes sense, but the show seems to forget that he’s the star. “Deathstroke Returns” asks us to buy that Deathstroke is nothing but a misunderstood, Liam Neeson-style dad, and it doesn’t work. Deathstroke was an awesome villain, but a boring protagonist. The reveal of Vigilante’s identity is an interesting reveal, but purely focusing on the Black Canary romance aspect is boring.
SCORE: 6.5/10 Matchbox Flowers
WEEKLY WIN TALLY:
The Flash: 2.8 Weeks
Supergirl: 1.8 Weeks
Arrow: 0.3 Week
