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, “All for Nothing” (Feb 1st)
Hard truth time: ARROW ruined Vigilante and Black Siren. Vigilante took a 180 degree turn, much like Deathstroke. Instead of being a moral counterpart to Oliver, he’s a generally heroic double-agent. This shift has also dumbed down Black Canary to a love interest for the character. Likewise, Black Siren’s obsession with Quentin has taken away her fundamental badass traits. These changes aren’t coming from meaningful development, they’re coming from plot necessity. Cayden James is a frightening villain, but can’t cover for the weakly written characters surrounding him. Vigilante’s death wasn’t surprising (the flashbacks made it too obvious) but maybe the Dinah vs Laurel conflict will bring them justice.
