This is hilarious in hindsight

A hacker\tech group for a big bad would be interesting even if just for a few eps .
Think of all the tech they have in the arrowverse and they can just hired mercenaries .
Hell look how easy they kill someone this ep and they already have team arrow info .
I was stupidly wondering why you said this then laughed at myself after realizing lol.
Well we have:
Vigilante
Helix
Black Siren
Either they're gonna be doing some teamups or we'll get Tobias Church like arcs.

Barry is next season's villain.
I think that would be the best idea. They could even flow the arcs through each other, a couple of episodes where Vigilante returns now that Prometheus is gone mixed with a couple of episodes where Helix is setting up something big. Alternatively, Cayden James could be an alias for someone more important that could pose an actual threat but even then I'd prefer some smaller arcs to start the season, and then have the reveal who the big bad behind it all is somewhere in 15 after hinting to his existence in 9.
Then they should put her in central city since they have evidence of her being there and collapsing mercury labs

It seems fairly obvious to me. They want him to be a recurring character next year but haven't cast him yet. I doubt we'll see him in person this season.
Could be wrong though.

A hacker could work as a big bad if they make him as badass as Root or The Voice from Person of Interest

I cannot wait for the day until Curtis his killed off. What an annoying character. He almost makes me hate this TV show.
Can't just have the character take a vacation or something huh

Maybe Curtis can go visit Thea, Roy, Ragman, and the other forgotten storylines, I mean characters.

That group exists, and they're called the Legends.

I still blame Game of Thrones for making people think that the only way to remove a character is to kill them.

The problem is that this Kaden James being the best means absolutely nothing to us because we've already seen five seasons of Felicitywho apparently isn't the best nowbe able to literally do magic and solve every problem with "hacking." And you know in the end, when the hacking battle commences, he won't end up being the best after all. That's (partially) why Calculator was so stupid and why it's hard to believe that Felicity ever needs Curtis' or Helix's help without some massive nerfing of her skill from out of nowhere.
Kaden James is the Savitar of hacking.

They're not forgotten when the actors ask not to be on the show. What a weird comment.

Felicity reprimanding Oliver for not trusting her plain after she didn't trust Oliver a few episodes ago and went behind his back.
Writers just running outta shit to write for drama.

To be fair, she has always been a very hypocritical character.

Hacking character associated with Helix, we never get to see his face ...
Maybe "Cayden James" is Kritter:

Of course, as the leader of Helix he could also be Mister Bones:

Can't wait to see it all.Is that also true for Ragman's actor? I miss Ragman.
Nah not true for Ragman. He was just OP, needed a break and it's not like the actor was locked down anyway.
Willa was on a 13 episode contract this year and Colton's stint was always intended to only be two years.
By the way, two small interviews with Mericle. They haven't forgotten about Ragman. And a certain epic, ex-big bad will have a major role in the finale:
Merlyn ofc!
Ah Ragman, perfect example of how a character that can take a break, disappear, etc. without having to die just because people don't like him. (Take notes Felicity and Curtis haters)
So I largely skipped the seasons 3 and 4, but the depth of peoples' dislike of Felicity still startles me. Reminds me of the way people felt about Laurel in season 1.
I did not get that then, and I do not get it now. Felicity is largely really great. Honestly, pre-Season 5 Oliver and Roy annoyed me with more consistency.
Ooh, I could've phrased that better, but I meant that here is an example of a character leaving, as that is something you should want (most) characters to do rather than just wanting them to be killed off just because you don't like them. I wasn't trying to say that he in particular is a widely disliked character.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Ragman is a white guy, of course the fanbase isn't going to want to behead him and then dip his body parts in acid.

Ragman and Constantine need a show dealing with the mystical side of the Arrowverse.

Rumor has it that
won't be in the Arrowverse next year.
Barrowman
I'd be fine with that. I haven't really been a fan of that character for a while, a respite might improve that.

Honestly, I have a staunch dislike for Curtis because Mr. Terrific in the comics (Pre-Nu52) was one of my favorite black heroes.
And Curtis is a FAR, FAR cry from Michael Holt.
But I've kinda gotten over it.

He was great this year on
Legends, as well as the "duet" crossover
"Our Friend Malcolm"
Same. Mister Terrific is an amazing character. I actually wanted him to eventually start something with Kara. At least I did until we found out more about him. He is SOOOOOO lame.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I love Mister Bones. He should've been the director of the DEO on Supergirl. Not that Martian Manhunter isn't appreciated.

Pretty bad episode, hopefully the rest of the season is ok
Best casting news.
About time. I love the guy but his time is over.
Yeah, his arc finished halfway through season 2. I hated how season 3 and some of 4 dragged him into it when he had no good reason to be there.
