So it's finally happened, after four seasons... I'm starting to lose interest in this show... There's just way to much back-and-forth and I'm enjoying the Flash much more than Arrow on a consistent basis now. Anyone else feeling that way? The thing I'm tired of:
So tired of the characters constantly reflecting on their poor, past decisions, especially when it comes to being mind controlled or under the influence of some mystical power.
In Season 1 and 2, Oliver was a killer, murdering his enemies, but he pulled back and decided not to use lethal force anymore. But since then, it seems like every single character has had to go through the exact same character arc and it's so tiring.
First, Oliver had Roy killing people due to the merry-coo-rue (can't spell it, lol - the super soldier serum), and Roy had tons of guilt over his kills.
Then Oliver had to get Laurel to calm it down.
Then Oliver dealt with Thea killing Sara, and now in this season Thea has "bloodlust" due to the Lazarus Pit...
and now in the past two episodes Sara has risen from the grave (also, didn't she use lethal force originally too and then calmed down?) is also killing people cause the Lazarus Pit made her a nutcase zombie killing machine.... and not to mention this show also had the same dilemma presented as a character arc for Huntress.... ENOUGH ALREADY.
If Batman was on this team, he would of abandoned them long ago. They can't keep it together. All of them are reformed killers who constantly go back to killing due to mind-control, or being under the influence of a serum, or a Lazarus pit, or because they turned into a zombie, too much, too often.
And what's laughable is the inconsistencies. Every time they go into a fight, Diggle is there with a gun shooting people!!!!! Where's his thou-shall-not-kill philosophy????
I feel like there's scene after scene after scene of them dealing with this same issue over and over and over. It's very annoying and boring at this point.
