      The problem started in season 2 when the writers stopped writing her as a character who happened to know Oliver and instead wrote her as the love interest. They sucked all personality out of her so that they could run through the usual CW romance BS drama with her.

    So I'm not the only one that started hating Felicity after that "you can't trust me" nonsense. My wife actually didn't see how infuriating her behavior was until I started talking about it and went on a rant that was pretty much this entire video. Not to mention, Oliver STAYED WITH HER AFTER SHE WAS PARALYZED. Do you know how much commitment it takes to stay with a person and still want to marry them knowing they won't even be able to bath or take care of themselves? Even people that are happily married now could be broken by how heavy that burden can become and Oliver didn't even flinch. Then she gets her legs back and returns the ring because he didn't tell her everything about his son when she felt like it. It still makes me angry remembering how terrible her character became after 2 seasons of investment.

    I read this on Reddit a while back, but it feels like a lot of the plot points of Season Four that didn’t work for Felicity were supposed to be for Laurel. Think about it...
    -Felicity is feeling the urge to get back into the game in the pilot? As she said, she had already been helping the team out from a distance because that’s what she already does. Laurel, on the other hand, makes sense to want to get back into crime fighting. Especially when you consider she’d only been doing it for a few months and to honor Sara.
    -Felicity questioning her place on the team? Again, her job primarily involves sitting down at a computer. Laurel, meanwhile, is out there in the field, and with the canary cry it would be a big loss if she was taken out of it.
    -Felicity getting angry about Oliver lying about William? I can understand it, but she knew he was a playboy long before she met him, and him having a kid in one of these affairs is likely. But you know who has a right to be angry? Laurel, since she was the one Oliver was cheating on when Samantha got pregnant. That’d be more than enough for anyone to at least put the engagement off, if not break up.
    It’s kinda depressing to think how people on the Internet with a keyboard and common sense can fix some of these issues in five minutes.

    I would have preferred Oliver to fight Raas with a bow. It totally made sense that he got his arse kicked the first time with Raas. But the most important thing about Oliver's combat skills is his accuracy with a bow. That's the kind of thing that could believably level the playing field somewhat. Can you imagine something like:
    Raas: "You did not fare so well the last time we fought."
    Oliver: "I didn't have the bow."
    The idea that Oliver who's had only sparred with Slade and Malcolm when it comes to swords amounting to a few months of experience can win a 1v1 against someone who's used them constantly for hundreds of years is ridiculous.

      The thing is, I could believe Oliver taking Ra's down with his bow and a good strategy. He's at his best with his preferred weapon, taking on Ra's with a sword is a death wish. I could believe that Oliver might not have all the skills Ra's has, but that his archery is better. Plus a bowman against a swordsman would be a cool fight to see, watching Oliver trying to keep his distance while avoiding Rai's swings.

    I liked how he pointed out Green Arrow's declining fighting abilities. Because that really bothered me too. I mean, Damien Dark, (or however you spell it), is a bit understandable since he did train with Ra's Al Ghul. But the weird serial killer guy and some of the other examples he gave in the video had me slapping my forehead in frustration. I mean, seriously?! Those other guys should be chumps compared to Oliver!

Damien dark could have been an interesting villain but like the flashbacks, I can't even remember why it was happening and what his goals or drive was.

    I feel like Season 3 of Arrow could've been so much better if it had just been written more coherently. I thought the first half was great, but if we had just had Oliver thinking 'Woah, Ras killed Sara for leaving the league,' that would've been so much simpler and easier to follow than Malcolm's convoluted plot. Having Oliver mope around for awhile was ridiculously stupid, and having him actually join the League for more than THREE episodes would've fixed so much. I also absolutely hated that Oliver was never committed to the League, and it was just a trick, as it made so much of the story feel completely worthless. If we had Oliver join the League around episode thirteen (after Ras destroys his life in Starling, as that was great), we could've spent awhile with Oliver actually forming a bond with this Ras, instead of just being talked at a bunch. If Oliver viewed Ras as a Father figure, it could've lended so much to their relationship, which just falls flat in the version we got. The back half of Season 3 could've gone as follows:
    A. Oliver comes back to defend Starling against the League.
    B. Ras destroys his life in Starling and Roy Harper dies a result (not drives away in a car, actually dies).
    C. We see Oliver join the League of Assassins in an actual committed role, and develop a real connection with Ras al Ghul.
    D. Ras and Oliver willingly go out and do something that seems worthwhile, but it develops a moral conflict within Oliver, as Ras' methods and not as pure as he would like, but Oliver's willingness to kill without mercy in the past allows him to sidestep his moral compass.
    E. Oliver is pitted against his former teammates due to circumstances involving the League's morals, but with Oliver being numbed to their more extreme tendencies, he attempts to get his friends to look the other way. They refuse, and Oliver refuses to kill them at Ras' command.
    F. Ras is infuriated at Oliver's betrayal, and feeling as though he has lost a Son, he decides to destroy Starling City himself. Then, Oliver and Ras fight. Oliver wins, everyone is happy, victory for good.
    If a stupid kid sitting on his laptop can come up with this better version of the same story, why did the professional writers of this show gives us such a convoluted mess.

Suddenly she's talking about Oliver's years of torture on an island as 'Fantasy Island' because she's jealous that he dated other girls?!?! WTF. If someone's wife said that to a survivor of torture... they would divorce immediately, it's emotional abuse. And that episode where she 'takes it upon herself' to take out the clock king because, once again, she's jealous of oliver's relationship with another woman - Sara. It's a miracle she didn't try to murder Laurel and Thea in their sleep so she'd be the only woman Oliver would ever focus on.

No build-up, no foreshadowing, not even a hint that this is going to happen. Oliver went from considering her a friend and colleague to suddenly being in love with her. For no reason! And the CW didn't stop with Arrow when they did this. Anyone remember how Ray Palmer magically fell in love with Kendra? After someone suggested it, no less? The only good thing about the later seasons of the DC shows are the crossovers, which are my favourites to watch.

    13:45 Barbara Gordon would kick Felicity's ass whether she was able bodied as Batgirl or crippled as Oracle.

    He wasn't just trained by Ra's he was also trained by Malcolm Merlyn and also Slade Wilson, 3 of the most skillful Master assassins in the whole entire arrowverse

      Merlyn never trained him, but is is still stupid that he lost. Slade’s training should have also helped.

    Your take on Felicity is exactly how I feel. She ruined the show for me. Plus the added which hero's girlfriend is she now plot Ollie, Barry and Ray all fell.for her.
