It still boggles my mind how Arrow had a character like Laurel Lance, who battled depression and alcoholism, had every single person in her life let her down, and still managed to get back up and move forward... only to be brutally killed off, have her last words be about her asshole's ex-boyfriend new relationship and be replaced by two different characters. So I really can't mourn this spin-off not being picked up. Women aren't interchangeable objects.

Having your sister cheat with your boyfriend and your mother knew and encouraged it? WHATTTTT

Go through survivors guilt and have your sister/ex bf flaunt their relationship in front of you? WHATTTT

Protect the city when your ex bf is presumed dead only for him to come back and tell you to fuck off the steets? WHATTTTT

Have your ex bf consider distancing himself from you to win votes for mayor after you help him save the city every day? WHATTTTT

Ugh, I hate remembering all of this :/ And it kills me that Sara never apologized to Laurel for having an affair with Oliver and that Laurel was treated as a villain for having feelings about the situation. Oliver also never apologized for all the awful things he said to Laurel. He even mocked her addiction!! Told her she wasn't a hero!! And yet Laurel was still killed off to give him more angst... don't even get me started on Quentin freaking Lance and his awful parenting skills.

i just don't get why so many people saw laurel as the bad person in the sara situation. yes, sara went through bad she but she was so awful to laurel and showed no regard or care for the fact that laurel was an addict.

Laurel Lance was too good for these garbage shows. The replacement girl was one of the worst actors I've ever seen, and part of me thinks that was a jab at Katie Cassidy.

The CW is so overloaded with these superhero shows now. They really wasted a lot of the shows by having them always kowtow to Oliver Queen, even though he was a serial killer and extremely bad at being a superhero. I still remember how embarrassing it was that they had Oliver tell SUPERGIRL not to pull her punches when he's a human and she could punch a planet out of orbit. It all became about idolizing and ret-conning Oliver rather than actually moving the characters further.

The crossover this year absolutely ruined the other shows far more than Covid truncating the seasons (especially since now we know they only did that because they hadn't yet realized that nobody cares who dies, as long as their shitty shows are made)

I really liked their Nancy Drew show, but I fell off with watching it.

Judging by those costumes, it's what she deserves.

that’s a shame. i doubt i’d have watched it bc i can’t fuck with these cw shows anymore, but laurel deserved a show that would maybe treat her better than arrow did
