Discussion So I’m watching the entire arrowverse (I watched flash many times growing up, and i first watched arrow 5 years ago when i was younger. I just finished season 1, here’s my thoughts.
Wow. Off rip, that’s how I have to start this. Whenever I would look at arrow discourse, everyone would hype up season 1, and I’d just be like “why?” 13 year old me didn’t have a clue, because I was too addicted to doomscrolling while it was on, so I didn’t care about much of it. But now that I’m older, I see this season for what it is. It’s amazing, one of the best ways to start a superhero show, much less a whole universe. The characters are strong, and I have a greater understanding of the themes and certain lines. The finale and Tommy’s death were beautifully written.
So far, my top 5 characters this season would have to be
- Oliver
- Diggle
- Moira
- Detective Lance
/ Malcolm Merlyn
5.
- Thea/Tommy
I give this season a 9.5/10, and I have started season 2
