you probably dont care but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
Is it? The writers have stated multiple times that Diggle and Felicity are untouchable. Laurel, Dinah, Rene, and Curtis were long confirmed to be back next season. Thea, Slade, and Samantha were with the others, minus Laurel. It was a lame cliffhanger. All that's going to happen is we'll find out Evelyn died. Big whoop.
He died before the island explosion cliffhanger. Still, this was about a season or two late.Also, I expect him to show up alive before the series finale, with the only explanation being, "I was Ra's Al Ghul, and I've cheated death many times."
Purgatory burns, The Magician does his final trick, Canaries have cried, The one-eyed Merc gets redeemed, And siblings clash, And the Arrow and the Thief have their final battle.
These finale reactions feel like when you hide the last piece of candy on yourself, and find it two weeks later to be able to enjoy it long after you ran out of candy. It's great.
I laugh when people freak out for No reason, there's No reason for them to be upset or even depressed, lets face it, this is the CW okay, it's not The walking dead or Game of thrones, they're not killing off the whole cast or probably anybody for that matter, it was a cliffhanger, the first in the shows history and it was awesome
That wasn't why I lol'd...I just was not expecting Brittany to turn so suddenly from sadness to anger, that's all. We're entitled to our emotional reactions.
To me, Arrow made the best Season Finale this year among the DCTV shows on the CW. [especially between Supergirl and Flash because they aired the same week] Arrow and Legends made the best season finale with Legends being my favorite season this year because the story was well executed, great vilain, good use of every characters. Thank you for your reaction. always a pleasure to watch A fan from France :D
Arrow season 5 is just great.I plan of re-watching the whole season a week before season 6 returns. Chase was amazing as a villain and he deserve an award for it. Deathstroke is just love and even Manu got excited of it since he totally want a spin-off show with Deathstroke as the main focus.
(1) Chase holding William reminded me so much of Steve Leopard holding Shancus in _The Saga of Darren Shan_. I doubt anyone here has read that series, just thought I'd share it. In fact, Chase feels like a melding of Steve and the Joker. (2) Probably my favourite moment in this whole episode was Oliver's little "Oh!" when he saw William. (3) I don't remember Oliver being quite this driven or passionate when Darhk took William. I think growing responsible and emotionally open enough to run a fresh team has had a subconscious effect on his ability to perform as a father. He feels more responsible for William because he's responsible enough to be a team leader. He's more passionate because he's grown more used to having a son in his life, whereas in Season 4 he'd known for only two or three months. His bond to William has strengthened significantly through the team, despite having had no interaction with William for over a year. He's taught, advised, and protected the team - all things a parent does for their child. (4) Poor Alex. _"I've finally caught you, Deathstroke! And I will unmask you... Ah, come on!"_ *In other words:* OH NO SHE'S HOT! *Brit:* My king is back! *Alex:* (Awkward pause) And many others... *Brit:* Many other kings and queens! I mean, obviously _you're_ the number _one_ king! Totally! No way would I ever put a mass murderer before you, Best BoyFriend Forever! *Alex:* I'm losing to a mum-stabber. Fuck my life.
Congrats on the 10k you guys! Great reaction... and I feel the same way about that ending...😡😠😤😐 Also Alex, your not the only one who wants Roy back. 😅
We already know that most of them survive. Dinah, René, Curtis and Black siren are regulars next season, Felicity sent a text message to Cisco on flash ep 22 and flash takes place one week after Arrow, Diggle is alive because Layla was acting like he was still alive in the flash episode. I don't think that Manu Bennett would come back to play Deathstroke if they would kill him off and I doubt that they would ever kill off Thea or Lance. So nothing to worry about guys!
themarine0316 No i killed my self to screw with oliverni won and i killed at least one person. You better believe and you better make your peace with all the charactera because one of them will be dead.
I wonder who made it out alive. I know Rene, Dinah, and Black Siren survived since there gonna be series regulars for season 6. I really hope Slade, John, Thea, Nyssa, Quentin, and Samantha survived. Also if was good to see Moira again but it was sad to see Malcolm die PS CONGRATS ON 10K SUBS PSS Screw Evelyn, so much for Artemis
That's how to end a season in epic fashion (i'm looking at you every other DC finale) don't know why Brittany's freaking out cause nobody died, this is what shows do in the spring for finale season, Slade got them all into his prison bunker, I have zero doubt, arrow killed it this season.
I remember seeing the cliffhanger (as a Winter Child in Game of Thrones) thinking; "Holy shit that's a good ending!" And I see your guys' reaction and going like; "Lols"
I know this show will never do this. So I'll probably have to wait until the DCEU does it. But I seriously just want Black Canary and Green Arrow to get together for once. Im tired of Oliver and Felicity being forced together again and again and again.
Same . In the DCEU they need to already be married/together . I would love to see them have some funny banter back and forth while they're fighting bad guys .
SLADE WILSON AND NYSSA BETTER COME BACK TO LIFE AND KICK SOME ASS LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES. He deserves his own Deathstroke show he has earned it. You do not kill Deathstroke. also Nyssa is one of my favorite characters on the show she is badass and deserves to be a series regular or something. she better survive to love her so much
Great finale! It was the *BOMB* It was *LIT* I'm surprised Oliver and Felicity didn't go to *PROM* etheus. Now Mr Queen has to start *OLIVER* again. Yo *DOG* this finale was *WILD* I liked how Oliver had to *CHASE* Adrian.
I'm pretty sure Talia didn't sleep with Bruce but instead Ra's al Ghul did the same thing he did with Oliver and Nyssa on arrow with Bruce and Talia (they slept together after marriage)
there's the underground prison which is made by Argus so it can probably withstand the explosions and Slade knew where it was so he probably took them there doubt many died probably just Samantha so William has to live with Oliver
everyone but malcom is back as John barrowman confirm he was leaving the show plus a big rule in this world is unless you see a body everyone is alive unless they are leaving the show
They aren't dead.. there may be one or two.. But they already announced Renee and Dinah as season regulars.. So they either got to the Bunker, or they got to the Boat.. It's alright, don't worry
My guess they made it to the argus bunker where the prison was bc the prison can withstand a nuke remember so if they made it there they are alive and yeah i agree with all you guys saying they wouldnt kill everybody off
Awesome reaction you two. Especially the final five minutes !!! Keep the faith. I'm sure Felicity, Diggle, Thea, Quentin, and Curtis made it somewhere safe and we already know Laurel, Rene and Dinah have been made regulars for season six sooo that just leaves Evelyn, Nyssa, Samantha, Slade, and Talia's fates in the air IMHO. tvline.com/2017/06/05/arrow-season-6-felicity-diggle-thea-dead-lian-yu-explosion/ I LOVED the island 'blowing up' as a 'symbol' that this is the end of five years of island flashbacks.
sorry to say this but Malcolm is dead John Barrowman the actor who played him confirmed on his Instagram that he won't be returning to Arrow and legends so Merlyn is gone no more of him unfortunately
i loved this finale.... this season and this finale reminded why i was such a big fan of this show in season 1 and 2. such a good finale!!!. first, let me get my negatives out of the way, the way Ollie defeated Chase to get William free ( just by shooting an arrow in his knee) felt a bit anticlimactic and while the cliffhanger was surprising, in hindsight its is kinda underwhelming cause we know that atleast Black Siren, Wild Dog, Dinah are alive cause they were confirmed for season 6.i dont think they will kill Felicity and Diggle as well as Curtis. i dont think they would kill Lance either cause i can see them doing some character stuff with him and Black Siren next season. the only likely candidate to die is Oliver's baby Mama which could be a possibility anyway speaking of Deaths, i was surprised that Malcolm was killed off along with Bommerang, its been confirmed by Barrowman that Malcolm is no more and that he wont be returning to the Arrowverse next season. i thought it was a well done send off for the character by actually saving Thea, as Felicity said, he was a not a good person and a worse father but in his own way, he did love Thea. Slade was fantastic, since the Mirakuru wore off, i felt that , maybe just through Manu Bennett's performance, that he felt a bit of remorse and i can see him now as not a 100 percent villain like he was earlier but more the role he fills in the comic, as this mercenary anti-hero. the Flashbacks were simple but were great in really bringing the five years full circle.i got a bit nostalgic seeing Oliver running up the cliff, grabbing the bow and arrow and lighting the thing he made up on fire to signal for help like he did in the pilot. what made them was the phonecall.. it was great to see Moira again and it was a beautiful emotional conversation in which both Stephen Amell killed it as well as Susanna Thompson Speaking of Amell, he killed it during the last 10-15 mins of the episode, i really bought up grappling with killing Chase or not. im glad he didnt cause its good character growth. he really also played up the desperation well of a father just trying to save his child , which was nicely paralleled by Adrian at the end .i dont think the drive of the episode being to save William would have worked cause we have spent really no time with William to get emotionally invested in him but Amell made it work with his performance imo speaking of Prometheus.. Josh Segarra was fantastic, when he first came onto the show, you could tell there was something off about him through his performance but he was able to be normal enough where he could pull it off ( it helped that he was named Adrian Chase so everyone just thought he was Vigilante) but once he was reveal,ed Segarra really got a chance to really heighten the unhinged aspect of the character and be as over the top as he could and he did it marvelously . i feel he elevated the material, similar to Manu Bennett as Slade in season 2, because both of their motivations were weak imo ( Prometheus was trying to get revenge for a father i felt he barely knew) the fights were also well choreographed and well done.. it was just firing on all cylinders in this finale. it amazing that this show came back from its worst season to give us one of its best, if not its best season
Taimur Muggo To me it’s the best season of the Arrowverse. I know many people will argue that it’s season 2 but to season 5 will always be my favourite season of the show.
I over think how this can be all turned around. Earlier in the season Oliver said Constantine couldn't help because he was in hell. So I'm like, portal to hell on the island, Constantine pops out and is like, hell is better than exploding island then all of team arrow is trapped in hell. Season 6 it's Arrow vs demons and then Satan. Everyone gets saved except Felicity. But then season 6 will come out and they'll just be like, we found a hole. Or we swam out into the bay. And I'll just be like, they missed an opportunity here with Arrow vs Satan.
you know what i hate about this last scene is because it feels like Prometheus still won. i would like for Adrian chase to die knowing that he ran out of tricks, was put in a corner and Oliver brought Adrian a run for his money and won for once. right now Adrian just pulled a Malcolm Merlyn with ya know suceeding with starting the undertaking and now that i mentioned it i almost miss the villains who want to destroy the city rather than just destroy Oliver. don't get me wrong Adrian chase was a sweet villain. i just hate it when they die while still ten steps ahead.
Alex you at least got your wish from last episode for artemis to die along with talia, black siren and every other important character except RAGMAN wink wink nudge nudge!
When Adrian was driving that boat and he was smiling I kept hearing in my head ''they see me rollin, they hatin''
LMAO
you probably dont care but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Otis Decker instablaster =)
Seeing this 4 years later and literally rollin🤣🤣
@@nelss9435 haha, I forgot I made this comment and cringed at it, glad you liked it tho
See that? THAT IS HOW YOU END A FUCKING SEASON!
I think it's going to be that and there will be flashback on the island to see who survived
the only confirmed survivors are Dinah, Black Siren, and Wild Dog
Is it? The writers have stated multiple times that Diggle and Felicity are untouchable. Laurel, Dinah, Rene, and Curtis were long confirmed to be back next season. Thea, Slade, and Samantha were with the others, minus Laurel.
It was a lame cliffhanger. All that's going to happen is we'll find out Evelyn died. Big whoop.
Malcolm Merlyn is dead
He died before the island explosion cliffhanger. Still, this was about a season or two late.Also, I expect him to show up alive before the series finale, with the only explanation being, "I was Ra's Al Ghul, and I've cheated death many times."
*Assumption is the mother of all FAILURES!!!!!!*
junior20091009 Deathstroke as a Philosoper!!! $$ "Deathstroke Quote, 2017"!!!
Purgatory burns,
The Magician does his final trick,
Canaries have cried,
The one-eyed Merc gets redeemed,
And siblings clash,
And the Arrow and the Thief have their final battle.
My favourite detail in this episode is that you can make out the flare of Chase's gunshot in Oliver's eyes.
Chase is officially the greatest opponent Arrow has ever faced on the show.
Jesus, CW, you have FOUR superhero shows ongoing with a fifth on the way. You could have let ONE of them have a happy ending
These finale reactions feel like when you hide the last piece of candy on yourself, and find it two weeks later to be able to enjoy it long after you ran out of candy. It's great.
13:19 The rage in that second "Are you kidding me"... I have not laughed like that in a while. It's gonna work out, Brit XD
I laugh when people freak out for No reason, there's No reason for them to be upset or even depressed, lets face it, this is the CW okay, it's not The walking dead or Game of thrones, they're not killing off the whole cast or probably anybody for that matter, it was a cliffhanger, the first in the shows history and it was awesome
That wasn't why I lol'd...I just was not expecting Brittany to turn so suddenly from sadness to anger, that's all. We're entitled to our emotional reactions.
Cheese and rice that was more than a BritSmash, that was a BritDestroy lol
Guys on a positive note, Evelyn most likely exploded! Right? RIGHT?! So you both got your wish there! Congratz!
Your pain amuses me. You have earned yourself a like.
To me, Arrow made the best Season Finale this year among the DCTV shows on the CW. [especially between Supergirl and Flash because they aired the same week]
Arrow and Legends made the best season finale with Legends being my favorite season this year because the story was well executed, great vilain, good use of every characters.
Thank you for your reaction. always a pleasure to watch
A fan from France :D
I could watch Oliver flipping Evelyn on the ground all day long :D
Lmao same. I'm glad they never mentioned her in the show again. Fucking nuisance
*Nobody:*
*Absolutely nobody:*
*Not a soul:*
*Adrian Chase aka Prometheus last words:* Felicity.
12:40 that is me when I found out that season 5 of agents of shield is until 2018
at lease Roy is still alive... :-)
12:30 to 12:38.....her face and scream ,i couldn't help but laugh at that reaction
Arrow season 5 is just great.I plan of re-watching the whole season a week before season 6 returns.
Chase was amazing as a villain and he deserve an award for it.
Deathstroke is just love and even Manu got excited of it since he totally want a spin-off show with Deathstroke as the main focus.
maths a little off but I understand, i'm re-watching it from the start
(1) Chase holding William reminded me so much of Steve Leopard holding Shancus in _The Saga of Darren Shan_. I doubt anyone here has read that series, just thought I'd share it. In fact, Chase feels like a melding of Steve and the Joker.

(4) Poor Alex.

Congrats on the 10k you guys! Great reaction... and I feel the same way about that ending...😡😠😤😐

EJ B I miss Roy too

Salman Shah More Like A Month Apart. Remember Where The Mid-Season Finales Left & Picked Up At..
Nah flash and arrow all happen on the same week other wise lyla would have said something about diggle being kidnapped and Lian Yu as a whole sooo
No She Wouldn't. The Writers Wouldn't Put That In.
They wouldn't kill off 99%percent of the cast like that cuz then we wouldn't have much of a show
Season 5 was sooo good
they even used the older arrow intro.
Dude, you fucking WON this whole season. You died as you lived...ten steps ahead of everyone.
Finbar Brolly lol yeah in the end I win. Someone will die. I'm 10 steps ahead and Oliver never figured out what game we were playing.
actually Oliver won cause dude... your dead
themarine0316 No i killed my self to screw with oliverni won and i killed at least one person. You better believe and you better make your peace with all the charactera because one of them will be dead.
Sorry, but you're mission was a failure cause everybody Oliver cares for is getting off that island alive.
I wonder who made it out alive. I know Rene, Dinah, and Black Siren survived since there gonna be series regulars for season 6. I really hope Slade, John, Thea, Nyssa, Quentin, and Samantha survived. Also if was good to see Moira again but it was sad to see Malcolm die
PS CONGRATS ON 10K SUBS
PSS Screw Evelyn, so much for Artemis
PantherKing 13 yeah but they always say that and then they could kill some of them off. it's happened on shows before to throw people off
Here's who died... Nobody
THAT IS A FREAKING FATHER FIGURE!!!! THAT. IS. A. DAD!!!!!!! Seriously still so proud of Oliver 😀🏹
That's how to end a season in epic fashion (i'm looking at you every other DC finale) don't know why Brittany's freaking out cause nobody died, this is what shows do in the spring for finale season, Slade got them all into his prison bunker, I have zero doubt, arrow killed it this season.
Awesome. I love Brittany's enthusiasm for Slade.
OMG I LOVE THAT JACKET!!!!!!! Great reaction guys
I remember seeing the cliffhanger (as a Winter Child in Game of Thrones) thinking;
"Holy shit that's a good ending!"
And I see your guys' reaction and going like;
"Lols"
The ending bruh chill that reaction lol getting angry over a tv show
HA HA!! This is the reaction I've been waiting for 😂 especially for the ending
That phone call with his mother gets me misty every time.
congrats on 10k subscribers
Adrian did the extreme version of flipping the board when you lose! 😂😂😂😂
I have a feeling a certain man of rags shows off some teleporting save....
Have y'all heard that Manu Bennet (Deathstroke) had campaigned for a solo Deathstroke series!
That's how you leave a cliffhanger
I was piss off too when i watch the episode on tv last week. im was super pissed off. i flip my coffee table and just stomp in rage
arrow is the best tv show ever
I know this show will never do this. So I'll probably have to wait until the DCEU does it. But I seriously just want Black Canary and Green Arrow to get together for once. Im tired of Oliver and Felicity being forced together again and again and again.
Zoom same I'm tired of Olicity
You can't lock up the Ships.
Same . In the DCEU they need to already be married/together . I would love to see them have some funny banter back and forth while they're fighting bad guys .
I'm guessing most folks survived, honestly.
Seriously no more Olicity that died before it started we need Green Arrow and Black Canary
See you on the boat......
Always ten steps ahead..
SLADE WILSON AND NYSSA BETTER COME BACK TO LIFE AND KICK SOME ASS LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES. He deserves his own Deathstroke show he has earned it. You do not kill Deathstroke. also Nyssa is one of my favorite characters on the show she is badass and deserves to be a series regular or something. she better survive to love her so much
Anyone else notice...both barry and Oliver ‘s moms say “my beautiful boy “?
Best episode of Arrow ever. Best reaction of Arrow ever. ;)
♡
I'm loving Alex's arrow hat and the Deathstroke beanie .
17 year old me: Not everyone, Sara still alive.
12:15 - 13:58 Brittany's rage has been unleashed!😬
Great finale! It was the *BOMB* It was *LIT* I'm surprised Oliver and Felicity didn't go to *PROM* etheus. Now Mr Queen has to start *OLIVER* again. Yo *DOG* this finale was *WILD* I liked how Oliver had to *CHASE* Adrian.
The pun-isher right here.
Saleh Altaher 😏
The finale was *TERRIFIC* Mr
William? More like Will *IAM* in danger
I *DIG* the finale
I just LOVE how NO ONE laid a finger on Slade.
at the end i wonder what there neigbors were t
hinkingi
i knew that britsmash was gon rear it's head this reaction and man was i right! truly a force to be reckoned with!! LIKE# 358
Wtf, u sounded like stephen amell / oliver queen at 14:29
You clearly forgot that Oliver told Slade to take the team to the boat.
But its on the other side of the island
Seriously though, aftermath of that finale cliffhanger was just utterly dissapointing.
I'm sure most of them survived. First thing I thought was, "You think that ARGUS bunker is not bombproof?"
I'm pretty sure Talia didn't sleep with Bruce but instead Ra's al Ghul did the same thing he did with Oliver and Nyssa on arrow with Bruce and Talia (they slept together after marriage)
That's how you fucking end a finale. This was the best one. Arrow has been the best show this season. Also Adrian is the best villain ever.
Stephen amell said at a panel that he watched this reaction video
Lol
Best episode Arrow has ever done.
there's the underground prison which is made by Argus so it can probably withstand the explosions and Slade knew where it was so he probably took them there doubt many died probably just Samantha so William has to live with Oliver
Damn, "BritSmash!" taken to a whole new level.
Been waiting for this!
Awesome reaction, very intense BritSmash... It was worth the wait
I like how she smashed the table
everyone but malcom is back as John barrowman confirm he was leaving the show plus a big rule in this world is unless you see a body everyone is alive unless they are leaving the show
I love ur reaction, u guys love Arrow cuz I love it too. That’s 1st of everything ❤️
Malcolm's real name is Arthur King... So, yes he is a king :)
Just curious do you guys ship Olicity or do you hate it. Your friends in FandomReactions don't seem to ship it so I'm curious to know what you think.
They aren't dead.. there may be one or two.. But they already announced Renee and Dinah as season regulars.. So they either got to the Bunker, or they got to the Boat.. It's alright, don't worry
My guess they made it to the argus bunker where the prison was bc the prison can withstand a nuke remember so if they made it there they are alive and yeah i agree with all you guys saying they wouldnt kill everybody off
LMAO Ya'll have the best reactions to things lmao omgosh!!!!!
I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I actually want Prometheus back more than I want Laurel back.
I'd say she's mad enough to earn a Red Lantern ring at this point.
Everybody is like but Team Arrow why would they kill them off?? I'm like DEATHSTROKE NO!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved the massive brit-smash at the end 😀. Most of the cast will be back for season 6. John Barrowman likely won't be back though
it's called cliffhangers for a reason
Welcome to the series finale of Arrow... ;)
I feel like they would enjoy Voltron a lot!
This is legit so funny yet so me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome reaction you two. Especially the final five minutes !!!
Keep the faith. I'm sure Felicity, Diggle, Thea, Quentin, and Curtis made it somewhere safe and we already know Laurel, Rene and Dinah have been made regulars for season six sooo that just leaves Evelyn, Nyssa, Samantha, Slade, and Talia's fates in the air IMHO.
tvline.com/2017/06/05/arrow-season-6-felicity-diggle-thea-dead-lian-yu-explosion/
I LOVED the island 'blowing up' as a 'symbol' that this is the end of five years of island flashbacks.
sorry to say this but Malcolm is dead John Barrowman the actor who played him confirmed on his Instagram that he won't be returning to Arrow and legends so Merlyn is gone no more of him unfortunately
The finally was a BLAST
FIR- nope. Fourth. FeelsBadMan.
What animal is she?
yup that was everyones reaction actually... welcome to the "wtf?! club"
I think some characters will die.... not all of them but some, maybe like Samantha (William's mom)
i loved this finale.... this season and this finale reminded why i was such a big fan of this show in season 1 and 2.
such a good finale!!!. first, let me get my negatives out of the way, the way Ollie defeated Chase to get William free ( just by shooting an arrow in his knee) felt a bit anticlimactic and while the cliffhanger was surprising, in hindsight its is kinda underwhelming cause we know that atleast Black Siren, Wild Dog, Dinah are alive cause they were confirmed for season 6.i dont think they will kill Felicity and Diggle as well as Curtis. i dont think they would kill Lance either cause i can see them doing some character stuff with him and Black Siren next season. the only likely candidate to die is Oliver's baby Mama which could be a possibility
anyway speaking of Deaths, i was surprised that Malcolm was killed off along with Bommerang, its been confirmed by Barrowman that Malcolm is no more and that he wont be returning to the Arrowverse next season. i thought it was a well done send off for the character by actually saving Thea, as Felicity said, he was a not a good person and a worse father but in his own way, he did love Thea.

Speaking of Amell, he killed it during the last 10-15 mins of the episode, i really bought up grappling with killing Chase or not. im glad he didnt cause its good character growth. he really also played up the desperation well of a father just trying to save his child , which was nicely paralleled by Adrian at the end .i dont think the drive of the episode being to save William would have worked cause we have spent really no time with William to get emotionally invested in him but Amell made it work with his performance imo

the fights were also well choreographed and well done.. it was just firing on all cylinders in this finale. it amazing that this show came back from its worst season to give us one of its best, if not its best season
Taimur Muggo To me it’s the best season of the Arrowverse. I know many people will argue that it’s season 2 but to season 5 will always be my favourite season of the show.
And don't worry were gonna get through this
I over think how this can be all turned around. Earlier in the season Oliver said Constantine couldn't help because he was in hell. So I'm like, portal to hell on the island, Constantine pops out and is like, hell is better than exploding island then all of team arrow is trapped in hell. Season 6 it's Arrow vs demons and then Satan. Everyone gets saved except Felicity. But then season 6 will come out and they'll just be like, we found a hole. Or we swam out into the bay. And I'll just be like, they missed an opportunity here with Arrow vs Satan.
Some of them will survive.
Great ending reaction!
fuckin hell brit you just woke my mam up xD
you know what i hate about this last scene is because it feels like Prometheus still won. i would like for Adrian chase to die knowing that he ran out of tricks, was put in a corner and Oliver
brought Adrian a run for his money and won for once. right now Adrian just pulled a Malcolm Merlyn with ya know suceeding with starting the undertaking and now that i mentioned it i almost miss the villains who want to destroy the city rather than just destroy Oliver. don't get me wrong Adrian chase was a sweet villain. i just hate it when they die while still ten steps ahead.
much better than the Flash finale
Alex you at least got your wish from last episode for artemis to die along with talia, black siren and every other important character except RAGMAN wink wink nudge nudge!
So yeah, that ending just happened.
I give arrow or cw writers balls for killing off most if not all of the main cast. even though I think not all of them died.
just hang in there Brittany there's no way all the main characters died in the explosion because that would destroy the shows reputation and ratings.
