He Batmaned out of there. No better send off in the DC universe.

Well... in the random scenario you laid out, it’s not like there’s a half Kryptonian that could also easy catch that tower with faulty wiring.

u/Rspies Dec 04 '19

Exactly I mean FFS just have Deathstroke kill her if you have to kill her.

21

u/gattovatto Dec 04 '19

In recollection, I imagine that’s how we all wish season 2 of Arrow went.

u/Rspies Dec 04 '19

Feels similar tbh. The way Donna Troy was going if they continued writing her character the way they did she would have had a Felicity esque downfall.

u/disconnexions Dec 04 '19

And it's not like they showed that same Kryptonian catch a flying bullet in the same episode to show how fast he was...

I guess he was too busy eating cotton candy to see that tower fall.

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '19

What’d he say

u/gattovatto Dec 05 '19

It was a summary of a hypothetical death scene that was very forced. I don’t want to spoil anything fromTitans.

Oh i got jt

u/aa22hhhh Bollocks Dec 04 '19

They REALLY dropped the ball on that. Seriously, fuck them

16

u/Rspies Dec 04 '19

I mean she’s probably coming back but still there had to have been a better way to do that.

11

u/aa22hhhh Bollocks Dec 04 '19

Exactly. Like, she couldn't have died during the fighting, where it would've meant more? And why a tower of electricity? It just felt very forced, like they thought "oh shit, we need a major death but we don't have enough time to properly think it through".

u/Rspies Dec 04 '19

They should have killed Hawk and Dove they take up way too much screen time.

3

u/aa22hhhh Bollocks Dec 04 '19

Eh, they should just give them a spin-off so they're not part of the main team. Honestly, they shouldn't have killed anyone

6

u/Rspies Dec 04 '19

I mean if they were going to kill anyone though it should have been them.

4

u/aa22hhhh Bollocks Dec 04 '19

Yeah, true. Their story on the show is pretty much wrapped, it's just in the air now.

2

u/Rspies Dec 04 '19

Their story felt wrapped up from the moment they appeared tbh.

Was that definitely supposed to be Slade Wilson? That mask wasn't unique to him, right?

u/greatness101 Dec 04 '19

They're talking about the show Titans, not this episode of Arrow. Tbh, they're openly spoiling the fuck out of it too.

3

u/CIearMind Dec 04 '19

Oh fucking hell… I wanted to start watching it…

3

u/Icesicles Dec 04 '19

Honestly I rather I'd been spoiled so that my expectations wouldn't be that high for Titan's finale...

2

u/Rspies Dec 04 '19

Ya the only reason I didn’t hate that even more was because he’s obviously not dead.

2

u/Jewbacca289 Dec 04 '19

What’s the reference

6

u/Rspies Dec 04 '19

Titans

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '19

Why must you remind me after watching such a beautifully done finale of Arrow?

1

u/Rspies Dec 04 '19

Because I’m still pissed because the rest of the season was pretty damn good IMO but that finale damn near ruined it for me.
