There is not too much things happening in "Arrow" as the show which make me interested/annoyed/emotional in any way/drawn into it any more, and I'm watching more out of the sentiment toward what this show used to be more than anything else.
But the way they did get rid of one of few consistent female characters, strong and charismatic, it's not something I can get over with easily. Especially that it happened solely because "Suicide Squad" film is coming this year, and apparently the viewers are so stupid that can't tell the difference between two versions of the same character. In multiversum. Really? Really?
As the viewer it makes me to not want to see DC films and CW shows for some time at least. I'm probably in minority, because who the hell cares for Amanda Waller? But from my point of view, while in Flarrow she was certainly not a person/character you can like, she provided the necessary gray layer in the world which is supposed to be not all black and white. A ruthless, calculating woman, the leader of an organization, which was sometimes an ally, sometimes an opponent to the main hero. There must be a conflict present if this story is supposed to be interesting. But well, since those people are changing "Arrow" into a cheap romance since like two seasons, why I'm not surprised that they removed Amanda Waller permanently? The old rule is - no body=character can come back. After the shot straight to the head - well, maybe NOT that likely.
Not to mention that Cynthia Addai-Robinson stood out from the average level of acting in "Arrow" and I always enjoyed her performances.
So, from the point of view of a disappointed fan what "Arrow" did with one of its minor character finally made me tick off the show and make me to not want watch it regularly any more.
Sorry for the chaotic post, just a few loose thoughts I needed to share.
