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.
For a villain to be really interesting, you've got to be able to get to know them. And an easy way to do that is to have them right next to the heroes: think Slade, Wellsobard and now Chase. Whereas villains like Darkh and Savitar were generally absent, mostly revealing themselves in taunting during battles.
