      He didn't even registered her gratitude and emotion until she said "thank you" even when before she said "you were saving someone's life". I will forever feel sorry for Oliver, he was extremely misunderstood and judged, no one ever wanted to look things from his perspective they only wsnted to question him.

    This is a great scene, and I feel like it's the most accurate reveal scene for a superhero. They always have somebody get angry or something, which makes no sense. Thea appreciated that Oliver was saving people, that's a realistic reaction.

      I think pretty much all of the reveals in this show are accurate. Even when the show is terrible, the reveals are still amazing moments that feel realistic. Everyone is pretty much in awe of Oliver when he tells them (in a good way). Except for Tommy but, it makes sense at least one person would hate him for it and it also makes sense that it would Tommy.

    This scene always puts me on the verge of tears.

    The only bs thing about this show is the fact that thea was able to hold her own against oliver in a fight after having only a couple months worth of training. Oliver was trained by shado and slade for almost five years to get to where he was at so the fact that she improved so much from Malcolm's teaching on top of the fact that Malcolm wasn't as good of a fighter compared to slade is beyond me.

    • @Lev4nt
      @Lev4nt 3 роки тому +45

      Think abt it this way, On those five years away oliver wasn’t training constantly. He had multiple problems to solve along the way and yes he did become a damn good fighter because of it, but in the then span of around 8 or 9 months thea was only training every single day with malcom. She’s also the daughter of malcom who became a very skilled fighter in the time that he left to nanda parbat. And ofc there’s some plot convenience that can be attributed to thea’s fighting ability.

Iris is not a bad person for getting angry about someone boldfaced lying to her. She has every right to feel how she feels. All I see in the comment section is men wanting women to just get over it already and be OK with a man's behavior regardless. SMDH. 🙄🙄

      Oliver actually made this point in season 1 of arrow when Laurel asks the hood why he hides his face. “To protect the ones I care about.”
      Thea understood why he kept his secret for so long and was grateful not because she had secrets of her own but simply because it’s a really fair reason to lie. You have a less chance of being outed if you’re the only one who knows. Keeping the circle small is what keeps your identity secret. Iris needed to get over herself.

      @@misspriss2482 The writers used a lot of opportunities to drive a wedge between superheroes and the people around them for plot. some characters it made sense, like felicity, she wasn't mad at Oliver but she didn't like the fact that he killed, this falls in line with how the perception of the hood/vigilante changed to be the arrow in s2(which is why Thea now thinks of him as a hero, whereas in s1 she probably would've been a bit more judgmental. the problem with the flash is the minute he donned the mask, hes done nothing but save peoples lives, including Iris, on MULTIPLE occasions. i'm not saying she should get over it but she didn't even try to understand why he might've kept it to himself. it obviously didn't help that she suffered from the Laurel lance trope of being excruciatingly unlikeable in her earlier seasons.

Yes there were times when she was mad at ollie, but she never stopped loving him, believing in him and supporting him. Diggle left him at the end, Even the self righteous felicity left Oliver for a stupid reason and didn't hesitate to move on without a second thought, but thea always loved and stayed by her brother's side. Their relationship was the best in arrow.

    I feel bad for the actress playing Thea- the writers didn’t do a good job allowing her to be the blend of Malcom and Moira.
    It makes sense that Thea has flaws; Moira and Malcom had them. However, Moira and Robert raised Thea and I don’t see a lot of Robert in Thea in this show.
    That was the mistake of the character, she’s not like Tommy and she’s not like Robert. The good qualities are Moira and her terrible qualities are all evil Malcom and that’s just not how that works with adoptive children.
