Furious ARROW Fans Have Changed The Show's Subreddit To Support THE PUNISHER Instead - Here's Why

Bad news for Arrow as dissatisfied fans of The CW series have decided to switch the show's subreddit page to support The Punisher instead. Hit the jump to find out why such a big change has been made.

The final part of the "Crisis on Earth-X" featured an unexpected development as Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak decided to get married shortly after Barry Allen and Iris West. Olicity has always been controversial among Arrow fans and some of them are so upset that they've given the show's subreddit a major overhaul. For the time being at least, it will now revolve around Marvel's The Punisher instead! 

"If anyone from the CW network or ARROW writers is reading this, the reason 'ARROW' subreddit has changed to 'PUNISHER', is because well...Arrow is no longer what it used to be," one of the site's users says in a post explaining the change. "Season 5 was a back to form, but Season 6 is a utter disappointment. The forced Olicity wedding proved the show is for shippers. It's a shame the writers haven't learned their lessons from Season 3 and 4, and couldn't let go of the Olicity obsession."
 
This isn't the first time this has happened to Arrow's subreddit as it previously switched its focus to Daredevil after the underwhelming season four finale. While this change to The Punisher is unlikely to be permanent, it's not good news for Arrow ahead of the midseason finale next week and these fans make some valid points. This marriage feels like a huge mistake and season six has been a let down.

What do you think? Have you given up on Arrow after this major status quo shift for Oliver Queen?

This is hilarious, but the more love for The Punisher, the better!

lmao that’ll teach the Arrow show runners. But seriously they reallllllly don’t care about what this shows fans think. They keep force feeding it. Felicity even without the Olicity aspect can be annoying by herself so this just amplifies it.

@Supercat6376 - Actually...they do care. Olicity has a HUGE fanbase led by a bunch of teenage girls obsessing over it on tumblr. Its to the point where cast members even joke about it or try to peeve them whenever possible

Just to add...I in no way support Olicity and hate it too. I enjoyed their natural chemistry in S1 & 2 but it definitely shouldnt be the focus of the show.

@Himura - lol I’m wondering how many of these teenage girls can there be. Certainly not more then the rest of the Arrows fans right?? They must be an army to keep this Olicity nonsense going lol

This season is actually great so far. Slade Wilson was awesome and the crossover was done really well. The Diggle sidestory has been a great drama. And the weaving of Oliver's son into the show has also been fun to watch.

On a side note, these Wilding articles about Arrow should really be editorials most of the time. It's obvious he hates the show and the articles are usually slanted that way...

The Punisher is a much better show anyway.

I wanted these shows to be better. I have given up on the CWverse this year. Yeh I've had my fun with it but after watching for over 5 years I'm at a point as a fan that there seems to be no payoffs or improvement. The quality just isn't there.

I think they're over reacting (and I follow the subreddit too). This season really doesnt focus on Olicity at all except during a few recent episodes. It isnt as forced and in-your-face as beforeand and makes more sense storywise.

Regardless, the reason they were set off was because of the Crisis on Earth-X ending and forced Olicity. I actually completely agree that all the Olicity scenes dragged the crossover down and ended it on a down with the double wedding.

Ok, I back in Season 4 I really thought they were going to start pushing Oliver and Laurel back together after the Olicity break up, then I was really pissed off when Laurel died. Then in Season 5, when Dinah was introduced I really hoped Oliver and her would develop a relationship. Season 4 was a big misstep, they focused way to much on Felicity and were trying to be more like the Flash, and they went about it the wrong way, but season 5 went back to what made season 1, 2 and 3 so great. So far Season 6 is great, we just need to see more of Richard Dragon. I would rather see Oliver with Dinah, but as long as they dont over do it again, and do it better this time, i am willing to give Olicity another chance.
