i don’t know if you have been keeping up with the show or not. however, this stupid show that wanted to replace laurel lance with a new black canary with some chick named tina decides to try be clever and is basically going, “no guys, this isn’t some oc character. look, here’s a twist for you! her name is actually dinah drake! see what we did there? she’s actually a character from the comics! isn’t that great! we’re sticking with the source material! don’t you love us?”

No, Arrow, I do not. I am raging because for some reason this show thought it was ok to do this. It’s basically like me watching smallville again when they did the same crap to jimmy olsen. 

What irritates me is that suddenly people are all onboard with this character because she’s actually from the comics, the original black canary who had the mantle before dinah laurel lance did. This show is trying so hard to fix itself and it’s failing so hard. I have never been so frustrated with a show in my life and this coming from someone who used to watch the vampire diaries. 

As a Laurel Lance fan, the show basically just slaps you in the fucking face and disrespects you and a character that has over 70 years worth of stories from the comics. Look, I can already see people correcting me and going well, Dinah Drake was Golden Age Black Canary and she had the mantle from from 1947 to 1983. After 1983 then it was Dinah Laurel Lance. Listen, that still means that Dinah Laurel Lance has been the black canary for about 33 years now, which means she has 33 years worth of stories and you’re telling me that the writers of a CW show couldn’t fucking pull from the source material and use any of that? You’re trying to tell me that Laurel Lance had to die so we can finally get the Black Canary that people have wanted from the beginning when it was clear that Laurel Lance was already heading in that direction, anyway? Are you fucking serious?

I usually hate quitting shows, but at this rate that is what’s happening. I will stick with The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow or go back to watching Gotham because I’d rather watch a show that has batman characters in them than a show that wants to be a batman show, but is hiding behind the name of green arrow. 

OH GOD THIS WAS REALLY HARD OKAY

I wanted to add so many more. 10 is just not enough! But that was the rule, so here goes (in random order):
