Five Reasons Olicity Needs To End

If the title of this article doesn't make me a target for fangirls nothing will. This will contain spoilers from the mid season finale of Arrow season 4. SPOILER WARNING!

At the end of Arrow season 4 mid season finale. Damien Darhk sent his goons to kill Oliver. The ghost minions shot up Oliver's limo with Felicity getting hit. The teaser after episode alludes to Felicity's death. I don't want the character to die. Here is five reasons I think it's time for the era of Olicity to end.

1. Laurel is Oliver's true love. 

As a comic fan I'm not really happy how Laurel is underdeveloped. Laurel is the Black Canary for goodness sake. Audiences really haven't connected with her at all. The past two seasons have been focus on developing Oliver and Felicity relationship. That is all in good but when other key DC characters like Black Canary are just shoehorn in its a problem. Look at social media during Arrow you will see how much people can't stand Laurel. That's not the fault of the actress. That is the fault of writer's who have given us a whiny complainer that people love to hate. Don't get me wrong I love Felicity she is a great strong character. I just feel that Laurel needs the push to front like in Season 1. If the writer's end game is Laurel and Oliver it's time to move her to the front and Felicity back to the supportive role.

2. Arrow Is A Superhero Show

One thing I love about Gotham, The Flash and Supergirl is the love stories are not the main focus. Arrow is losing sight of this in my opinion. Every week Olicity has a big chunk of the show. Even in the crossover episode we had to deal with Olicity drama. Granted that time it made sense since it dealt with Oliver's kid. On The Flash Barry is dating Patty and while they have romance scenes it feels organic how it's displayed and progressed. I feel Olicity is now being written in to appease a demographic audience that only watches Arrow for Olicity and not the great character arc of Green Arrow and growth he has taken as a man. I'm not saying the show shouldn't have love but it shouldn't be front and center where it's starting to alienate some fans.

3. Oliver Grows From Loss

If they do decide to kill Felicity which I think is a bad move, then it will add more dimension to Oliver's character. If we learned anything from all the seasons of the past is Oliver changes after death. His best friend, his mother, Sara multiple times and Thea. Each painful lost saw Oliver grow as a character. Don't kill Felicity but just end the relationship and show us that Oliver has to eat the words that he told Barry. Those words are guys like us don't get the girl.

4. Adds More Dimension to Felicity  

For a character that really isn't important the comics. Arrow has taken Felicity and made her a household name. I miss the old Felicity. The Felicity that's wise cracking and is the glue of Team Arrow. I would love to see how her character progress if Olicity should end. Will she leave Team Arrow? Can she still work with Oliver? Will she go rogue? So many ways to take her character.

5.  Back to Basics 

Sometimes you have go back to basics. The show is about a man who becomes a hero. Season 4 is doing great by surpassing season 3 but Olicity is still front and center. Balance the heroism and relationships. I see more Olicity than I see Green Arrow these days. Bring back Laurel from fan hate and make her the central female character. The show is calling him Green Arrow now and it's time to really make him that.

 

 

 

 

 

John Constantine to Appear on ARROW

Announced at TCA this afternoon, CW have cast Matt Ryan as John Constantine in episode 405 of “Arrow,” entitled “Haunted.”

John Constantine is a weather worn exorcist and expert on the supernatural and the occult.  He is a detective, magician, and a hunter of demons, and will provide critical support to Oliver (Stephen Amell) when arrows aren't enough.

EP Marc Guggenheim says:

"We are thrilled to have Matt Ryan reprise the role of John Constantine on an upcoming episode of Arrow. Matt is an incredibly talented actor and his portrayal of this beloved character was always something we admired. The introduction of magic and mysticism on the show this season has provided a truly organic opportunity for us to bring John Constantine to Arrow and the CW’s DC universe. It will be a well-deserved tip of the hat to all the Constantine fans who were so incredibly supportive of that series."
