Thoughts on the upcoming CW/Arrowverse Seasons

My opinions on the new Arrowverse Seasons

 

Arrow Season 7

I loved season 6 and I am excited about the change of the status quo (the reliance upon which has always bothered me about the Arrowverse shows). I think the new showrunner is going to bring out the best of the show, and this may well prove to be the best season yet.

 

Excitement level: 9/10

 

Flash Season 5

I did not like season 4. It brought out the worst about the show. At every turn it made the wrong decisions. Thinker was boring, the villains of the week ranged from interesting but underused (Hazard) to utter, utter garbage (I think his name was supposed to be Jaco Birch/Pyro, but I have grown to refer to him as Ivanna MaMunnii (If you don’t get that, shame on you)).

 

However, I am cautiously optimistic for season 5. They seemed to have listened to the problems with season 4 and are changing things up. I am really excited to see Nora/XS; Jessica PK is a great actress and I think will be a highlight this season. I like the direction they are going with Cicada as the big bad. It could lead to some great Meta Related worldbuilding (Season 4 failed at that… failed hard. Amunet may be the worst adaptation of a character I have witnessed). I am not that fond of the casting choice for Cicada, I don’t think he is that great an actor or right for the world. The new Flash suit is… odd. It has problems. It needs a bit more colour to distract from the bright red and the neck is in dire need of adjustment. All in all, it is a B (Nora’s suit is great though).

 

Excitement level: 6/10

 

Supergirl

*sighs* Supergirl Season 3 broke me. It physically crushed me. I have lost all faith in this show. I will keep watch online, but I have no interest in what it is doing. They are adapting Red Son? Nope. That is the purest embodiment of an elseworlds story YOU CANNOT ADAPT THAT AS A CANON PLOT LINE! Nothing they could do could draw me back in.

 

Excitement Level: 0.5/10

 

Legends of Tomorrow Season 5

I loved season 3. It did so much right and really elevated the show to prominence… that is why I am really. I have a bad feeling it will buckle under the pressure of its newfound popularity, especially from the shipper community. Lets hope I am proven wrong. I suppose I will call myself cautiously optimistic.

 

Excitement Level: 7.5/10

 

Black Lightning

Great first season. The showrunners no exactly what they are doing. Cannot wait.
