Haven't followed this thread but apparently it's the right place to ask this:
I have watched Seasons 1&2 of Arrow so far and... i was really into it, the breakneck pace and general vibe of the show made it one of my favorites but then i read that many people are criticizing Season 3 and that apparently it's taken somewhat of a nosedive
There any truth to that? Now i am wondering whether i should still even watch S3 or leave the series be and watch other stuff... Is there a general consensus on here or is it controversial whether the show's still got it?

We gave our opinions and many complaints and many of us vented but you'll just have to watch it yourself and decide. But IMO it turned out to be the worst out of three seasons.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

Watch it! Watch Arrow S3 and Flash S1 back to back starting with Flash. Arrow S3 does is a mixed bag, but the crossover with The Flash is entertaining, and Flash S1 is great. Don't give up on Arrow! Shows have weaker seasons, it happens, but there's still some really good stuff in S3.

It's not anywhere near as bad as some posts here would make you think it is. It's uneven and has problems, but there are still some excellent episodes inside. Plus you will be marathoning it and watching it this way the problems get a lot smaller than week to week.Haven't followed this thread but apparently it's the right place to ask this:

The CW secures over $400 Million in Upfront Advertising Sales
The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak is way too high... That was possibly one of the worst episodes of the series.

It was a good season coming from a great one. It could be tighter, some subplots should have been different but still a very enjoyable season.

Alright, thanks guys, i will stick with it then i suppose...
Watching the Flash S1 at the same time though... i don't know about that since i HATE having to wait like a year or something for the next season to emerge only to have forgotten nearly everything what happened before by that point I try to avoid all shows that are not finished yet (but i made an exception with Arrow)

It's all subjective, so truth in this case is a very relative term, but...Haven't followed this thread but apparently it's the right place to ask this:

...this is pretty much how I feel. Plus it was stated earlier that you'll be marathoning it, which will no doubt minimize certain issues made greater by watching it week-to-week.
You know that's the case. I've just accepted it as the truth already.

This might be the most important decision you make all year: watch the Flash.

A bit of cool news that I think people missed here (didn't see it in this thread):

If you want to watch Arrow as it airs you really owe it to yourself to watch The Flash as it airs as well, you'll be missing out if you don't.
As someone who is only 5 episodes into Smallville, this would make me super happy, though I'm skeptical of it actually happening.

This is an old rumor that has been floating about from at least Feb of this year

Hey and original source isn't even allowed
Just google Tom Welling The Flash

I like your optimism, but honestly with the increased focus on Felicity during S3 (or so it felt to me), it's a very good guess and one that I'm willing to accept as fact. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if she got the "final boss" fight at the end of the season
Only semi joking
I'm not buying it. Haven't the head honchos said they aren't going to touch Batman or Superman at all? Like, on multiple occasions? Granted I might be misremembering things (entirely possible), but I believe I've heard Guggenheim and/or Kreisberg state something along those lines.

I doubt he'll be the Arrowverse Superman, at least not appearing on Flash first. Supergirl is supposed to be in the Arrowverse, even if it won't cross over in season 1. I'm sure that show has dibs on Clark.
If it were true, the most likely scenario would be using the multiverse to check in on the Smallville universe. If that happened, I'd prefer it happen in a Flash / Arrow crossover, since having equivalent characters like Amell and Hartley's Olivers, Huffman and Cassidy's Canaries, or Chloe and Felicity play off each other is where the real fun would be.

Yeah, that's recycling an old, unfounded rumor and Tom Welling has absolutely zero interest in wearing the suit, not having to wear it is one of the reasons he signed up for Smallville in the first place and the show hid behind that "no tights (for Clark), no flights (again, for Clark)" mantra as continuing to get weaker and weaker excuse as the series started to go beyond its originally intended plan.
I doubt Supergirl is in the Arrowverse, there's zero indication and just the fact that Superman exists makes it pretty clear unless the Flash does something major to alter things. The only cross over potential would be if Barry crossed over via the supposedly planned multiverse hopping.

I'm guessing Arrowverse and Supergirl are parallel words that will cross over.
And in that case, I could see a Smallville Clark cameo on yet another world.

Remember when we had the Flash Tuesday nights? Those were the times😩
Interested in hearing more about Vixen.
Also, anyone think we'll hear news of a new DC animated show this year besides Vixen? That'd be neat.

I love Pokken!
They better show Arrow and Flash trailers. I need my fix.

The best we'll get is teasers. Filming starts this month, so anything they have will be too raw to show.
We might get to see some promotional material. Hopefully a look at the Green Arrow costume.
Flash just started shooting this week so I doubt it sadly.
I also saw this article on Superman in Supergirl. The setup is similar to the President to the Vice President in Veep. This could get annoying.

surely this means we are finally getting green arrow right?

Agreed on all points
Was this not expected, though? Like, we all pretty much figured it was going to be like this. Especially after the trailer came out.

SpoilerTV has great news article where they're throwing everything DC-related that's visible on ComicCon slow floor.
I like those especially:

Yeah, Flash just started film a couple days ago and Arrow doesn't start until next week.
Erm, the guy with the beard wasn't Amell.
Especially if they skirt around
saying his name
They should've had him disappear if not just killed off.

Ammell did say they will have something to show for Arrow fans, despite that. Maybe they filmed some short promo, the way they did for LoT?
PHOENIXZERO

Maybe something similar to the Ra's teaser last year.
Wiktor

Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. Some short live action promo made specifically for comic con
If you take out the FOX guys, you'd think she is facing the same enemy as the Berlanti-verse people, like some team-up.

I'm hoping to get details on what Tom Cavanagh will be doing in season 2 of the flash. Seems like the obvious thing would be him playing normal wells but I'm hoping there's more to it than that. It's a shame that comic-con had to be a little earlier this year because I was looking forward to new footage.
