Maybe because of the challenge he does according to jay. Still makes no sense while he didn't' do in the second episode and since he wants revenge, why doesn't kill team flash in like 3rd episode considering they can't do anything to stop him.
Honestly while his cult is a cool idea they are useless

I wonder if they plan to address the fact that in universe Promethius targeting Oliver in an attempt to psychologically destroy him for killing his father makes no sense, since as far as anyone outside of the original arrow team is concerned, all those kills were by Roy who took the fall as the original Arrow and Oliver as Green Arrow is believed to be a totally separate person that took up the mantle after his death...

What? No. Prometheus knows full well Oliver is the original Arrow. He knows all about the Lance sister history, the metahuman prison, the fucking Legends and was taught by Shiva Talia who was the one who told Oliver to become the Hood.

Also all of Team Flash, the Legends and the recruits know he was the Arrow too.

I always thought the idea that there are supposedly two green arrows to the general public to be stupid.

Worse, there is the Hood, Arrow and the Green Arrow. These three archers with absolutely no overlap all wielding the same weapon in a green hood could not possibly be the same person.

TBF with all the archers around it is easy to get confused..


Still dumb since they are both vigilantes with the same weapons and apparently the cops keeps track of the arrows the vigilantes uses.

Don't get me wrong here, I agree it's really stupid. It's just that the way things were presented were that Promethius supposedly didnt even know the green arrows identity until Church told him in an attempt to save his own life. Just can't help wondering if he was that clueless about his real identity why didn't he accept the publicly accepted lie that the guy that killed his father was dead and this is someone else.

Honestly remind me is there anything to suggest that he didn't before Church tried to weasel out. There never seems to be an indication he didn't already knew.

Otherwise he could just be smarter than 99% than everybody in arrowverse.

Prometheus never said he didn't know Oliver was the Green Arrow. Prometheus didn't say a word in that scene with Church, he just killed him.

Man feels like ages ago that church was on the show. He was an awesome partial season big bad guy.

I hope they move forward with having several arcs in these shows the same way agents of shield season 4 and arrow season 5 did. 23 episodes is way too long to drag on one big main villain.

Not to bag on Flash again, it would do better if it follow those two shows structure. LOT while shorter also suffered this in season one because the team had to be idiots to not have easily dealt with Vandal early on. Having multiple arcs would be better for he CW shows.

It's hilarious how much of a cesspool Oliciters have made Twitter. It's like a complete 180 from last season where here and Reddit were mostly negative and they were so happy with the show. Feels good.

Some thought Adrian was both Vigilante and Prometheus, I considered it for a while but backed out of it.
I am actually intrigued by how much I like the name Vigilante as an alias. it fits him too, edgy.

Really curious to find out if Vigilante actually has ties to Olliver or is just some random guy who happens to be a badass. I guess time will tell.

Goddamn. Did not expect that. Who the fuck is Vigilante then? Just some random character we haven't met yet? The next episode preview though. Goddamn.

I even thought Vigilante would be thrown off the roof and be revealed as Adrian.
I didn't expect him as or the Prometheus reveal at all.

Great Job writers!

And Kacey Rohl's character is the ultimate embodiment of Felicity fangirls. Hmm, Adrian and "Sledgehammer" working together...

I saw some of that on Twitter last night this is arguably the best season of Arrow ever (barring everything being fumbled in the last eight) and their reaction towards it just what everyone has said about many of them and their priorities.

Here is a drinking game for the CW superhero shows. Take a shot of something real strong every time a character uses a screwdriver. Drink twice if it seems entirely unnecessary for the object they are working on.

You'll be surprised at how drunk you will get between Flash and Arrow alone.

That Vigilante escape from Curtis has got to be the worst one yet. Curtis is standing a few feet away from Vigilante, a T-sphere explodes in his face, and two seconds later he's nowhere to be seen?

Come on Arrowverse writers, can we try a little harder.

Vigilante can't be Susan guys, she's at Oliver's speech while Vigilante fights the team.

Also he's disappeared point blank in front of the team multiple times. It really is his thing.
