Was he really nerfed, or did the level cap just go up?
Welcome to the new age
Oliver technically won all of his later fights due to a handicap
Slade not nerfed with a cure
Ra's was just a little bitch
Malcom still outclasses him even though Malcom bet everything on him in S3
It's best not to think too far into it
Level cap went up. He's now in a world of metahumans, magic, and a private military composed of genetically modified soldiers.

She's beating Ollie's record. Only one episode in, and Cat Grant is the only regular left to learn her secret.

It's not season 2.

Weakest main-season villain of the Arrowverse, Arrow's history of rocky characterization moved off of the secondary characters and onto OG Team Arrow.
Also, first season without Slade as a regular.

I really hate his helmet. Should be longer and cover up the neckline like magneto. Just looks off this way.

That makes Ramsey's neck look giraffe like.
Felicity became shit, the villain is RIDICULOUSLY underused, the midseason finale while awesome is later completly shitted, the ending is anticlimatic and the whole "i am evil" thing makes no sense

Bitches love smiley faces
There's still some great episodes in Season 3. Mid-season finale is fantastic.
As a whole though, it's pretty bad.

It's a good thing he had that penicillin tea and a strong will to live... That was such a bullshit cop out.

This is likely the closest we'll ever get to live action Marvel/DC crossover.
From that Halloween party Colton Haynes, Emily Bett Rickards and Chloe Bennet were at.

You'll learn to like her. We like her so much she is getting a spin-off.
Arrowverse always has the better costumes

I do wonder how people will respond to it after watching it with no week and month-long breaks. We had to marinate in the stench of season 3 for 6 months. It might not be as bad if they can just knock it out in one go.
We'll see.
After spectacular S2, S3 took very dark turn into a slow batmanesque storyline [with also poor flashbacks]. S3 was still good [with few spikes of awesomness], but nowhere near S2 greatness.
Yep. This is how I view Season 3.

The dubsmash video is set to private, I probably did and then forgot but not the instagram pic that I can remember and yeah with the last one so much for that, haha.
I don't know about that. If he was the one in the grave then his wife would be there, grieving.
He's too good to kill off
It looked like that was a bit after the funeral.

#404 "Beyond Redemption"
Episode Trailer
That's how you do it Odd One. When it's past midnight everywhere.
Episode Trailer
LAUREL DEALS WITH THE AFTERMATH OF NANDA PARBAT — Laurel (Katie Cassidy) must deal with the repercussions of taking Sara (guest star Caity Lotz) to Nanda Parbat. Meanwhile, Oliver (Stephen Amell) asks Captain Lance (Paul Blackthorne) for a favor and while he’s not surprised at the response, he is surprised at what he finds out next. Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and Diggle (David Ramsey) take a cooking class together to improve her omelet skills for Oliver's birthday. Lexi Alexander directed the episode written by Beth Schwartz & Ben Sokolowski (#405).

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Begun the Preview Wars have.
Y'all keep killing me with those omelet lines. One of these days its going to be true.
You mean the season where Oliver banged the woman who banged his father and signs the company over to her while Slade cries about a woman who's been dead for five years while amassing a fortune and criminal empire under Oliver's nose (yet doesn't once look up Shado's family and realise she has a twin sister he can be beta'd by), while the LOA discover Malcolm is alive and are so dangerous that Malcolm... evades them with ease?
I love Season 2, but the execution is as bad as S3 at points. It works because of momentum, not actuality.

Yeah, I think the Arrow fandom overplays how bad Season 3 was. On a per episode basis, it's fine and really isn't too far off from Season 1 or 2. It's the big picture that didn't come together properly.
We got some fun stuff out of Season 3, like the Cupid episode. And don't even tell me we weren't all hyped as fuck during The Climb.
The back half of the season is what gave me a headache, primarily the last 4 or so episodes. It felt like they were recycliy the same twists over and over. Oliver is good, Oliver is bad, we have to help him, we have to hate him. Like how close is Nanda Parbat supposed to be? They fly there from Star City like it's 45 minutes away. Isn't it like on the other side of the planet?
I think what really soured people is they got the buildup right, but screwed the landing so badly. Ra's wasn't that scary, we got 1 Deathstroke episode and it kinda sucked, the explanation for Oliver surviving being stabbed in the chest and falling off a mountain was MORE ridiculous than if he had been put in the Lazarus Pit. The stuff when it came back from holiday break just felt slapped together.

Europe FTW.
We go by U.S. time zones and you know it. I'm Australia mate, I could post the Arrow summary before Flash even airs.
Never forget. I am the fastest poster alive.
