Season three of Arrow was a major disappointment after the show's stellar second year, and in response to that, those responsible for the series finally made Oliver Queen the Green Arrow and renamed Starling City as "Star City." However, after a strong start, things quickly started going downhill. Damien Darhk ended up being a pretty underwhelming villain, the flashbacks became unbearable, and the decision to focus on "Olicity" ended up being widely despised by the vast majority of viewers. In fact, the ratings have steadily dropped, and the future now looks bleak for Arrow, especially with its most devoted fans turning their back on it. For proof of that, look no further than Reddit.
Those who share their thoughts on the series on the Arrow subreddit were so enraged by that finale that they're rededicated the forum to Marvel series, Daredevil. Seriously, feel free to go and check!
"The finale was filled with plot holes," raged one Arrow fan (mkd87). "Like where the f--k do thousands of nukes in mid-flight go? How did Oliver channel his magic from the hope of the citizens? How did Darhk's powers powered by tens of thousands of souls just go limp dick in 2 seconds, yet he was able to kill Felicity's ex from far away? And the final fight scene? What the f--k was that? The final fight scene was shit. They're both highly trained in martial arts and they're just trading punches in the face back and forth? The f--k? Did the action scene choreographer take time off or what? Worst season finale ever." The comments are all pretty hilarious, though it's also kind of sad to see the show's fans turn their back on the series. Of course, you can't blame them when the quality of storytelling has become so poor, and as funny as this may be, it's obvious that some serious behind the scenes changes are now needed (unless The CW wants this to go the same way as Smallville).
