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, “Irreconcilable Differences” (Dec 7th)
This episode had too many twists without a decent pay-off. Drunk Curtis was annoying, and Black Canary trusted her (evil?) ex-boyfriend way too quickly. Plus, Wild Dog backstabbing Oliver? No way! Then getting super mad when Oliver doesn’t immediately trust him in the next mission? NO WAY! It’s also incredibly disappointing to see Black Siren humanized with the “can’t kill Quentin” dilemma. Not because characters with depth are bad, but Black Siren is one of the best villains ARROW has had. If she becomes too nice, her character will become just as boring as Deathstroke.
CLIFFHANGER REVIEW: That’s too many villains! I don’t care about them all! Why is Vigilante a villain? Wasn’t he just, like, a more violent Green Arrow? Like, a Season 1 Green Arrow? He doesn’t need to be a villain too!
SCORE: 6/10 Broken Engagements
WEEKLY WIN TALLY: (scores rounded up for the holidays/my sanity)
Supergirl: 4 Weeks
The Flash: 3.5 Weeks
Arrow: 1 Week
What show did you think won the week? Does Legends of Tomorrow take your vote? Do you think A.o.S. or Gotham outshines all the CW shows? Let us know in the comments below!
