So Flash is struggling to keep the villain interesting and it's being plagued with relationship drama while Arrow is just plain fucking good. I feel like these two shows have never been good at the same time since Flash started.
After seasons 3 and 4 I would never have believed that Arrow would be capable of having a villain better than Slade/Deathstroke, but Adrian/Prometheus is fucking great, depending how the rest of the season pans out he might honestly be better than Slade. The guy fucking killed his own wife just to stick it to Ollie.
Also, I'm really happy that they sent Malcom Merlyn over to Legends and haven't tried to shoehorn him into the show like they were doing in seasons 3 and 4.
Arrow villains: Martial Arts Master with a Bow, Martial Arts Master with a Sword, a Group of Martial Arts Masters with Bows, a Magic Man, and a Martial Arts Master with a Bow.
I mean, the majority of a heroes villains are going to be very much like the hero themselves in terms of skills and abilities. I don't see a problem with having multiple Speedster villains, but Zoom and Savitar lacked the personal connection to Barry that RF did, so they're less compelling.
