tv echo November 11, 2018 Share November 11, 2018 (edited) That Newsweek article was written by Autumn Noel Kelly - here's the part of her article that stands out for me (in a bad way)... Quote I know Felicity’s probably not dead, but please let me have this, for at least a few weeks. Edited November 11, 2018 by tv echo 2 Link to comment
Mary0360 November 11, 2018 Share November 11, 2018 Omg that article! The writer even links to a video of Felicity being shot in the head in LOT and says it's something fans have always wanted. Fuck off. Id like to think that Tonya didn't read the article and just saw the headline, saw it was from Newsweek and tweeted it out but let's be real. She read the article she's just in love with the smell of her own farts that much that she will take any type of praise. Newsflash Tonya. This season is full as much garbage as previous seasons so you ain't doing anything that different. 7 Link to comment

insomniadreams88 November 11, 2018 Share November 11, 2018 The thing is, even if Tonya agrees with every single word of the article, she didn’t have to tweet it. Or like that tweet. yes, that’s her Twitter account and not the writers room’s, but still. 11 Link to comment

Guest November 11, 2018 Share November 11, 2018 Liking and promoting that article is a dick move but then I expect nothing less from that particular writer. I have to wonder though, why does this only happen with Felicity? They seem to think it's completely okay to like hate against her. The double standard is real. Link to comment
BunsenBurner November 11, 2018 Share November 11, 2018 Newsweek Magazine is now on the level of a gossip rag but worse. It has been sold twice and is no longer credible. It has the Newsweek name but no longer the reputation. 4 Link to comment
insomniadreams88 November 11, 2018 Share November 11, 2018 You know, if Beth and whoever runs the Arrow Writers Twitter account check their mentions right now, they won’t be able to miss what’s going on. I also saw some screencaps of the article and wow. I can’t believe anyone associated with the show would acknowledge that article out of all the ones posted after the episode. Also looked at Tonya’s Twitter and can’t believe that she only liked that one awful tweet. Ugh, I’m so annoyed right now. Link to comment

Mellowyellow November 11, 2018 Share November 11, 2018 I hope she (Beth, not Tonya, there is no hope for Tonya) is smart enough to realise Dead Felicity Smoak = Dead Arrow Cuz yes people will rage and throw a fit now but after the initial anger people will peace out and move onto new shows. There will be no more free publicity for Arrow when the Felicity fans stop caring. 18 Link to comment

Her liking that tweet is a perfect example of how women can be our own worse enemies. It's sad and rampant in real life. I have been told by so many women that I need to do such and such with my life because my husband will run off with someone one day. Then when it looks kinda obvious that he's not going anywhere they tell me he will die young so I should still do such and such with my life to plan for his impending death because nice husbands die young! 2 Link to comment
Mary0360 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 Tonya has clearly been reading her mentions cause she has now liked a bunch of other tweets of people telling her how glad they are "Felicity is no longer a love interest". Link to comment

Morrigan2575 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 The video is old and probably predates any complaints SA had. Also if SA can go and wrestle every few months his back and knees aren't that bad...of course wrestling messes up the back and knees (Heartbreak Kid, Brett Heart, Mankind and Stone Cold come to mind). 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Chaser November 12, 2018 Popular Post Share November 12, 2018 I don’t think I can accurately put into words how disappointed I am with the new writers. It upsets me that the female writers embrace the most problematic way of thinking about female characters. You know what the irony is here, Felicity’s relationship with William was the most praised plot to come out of S6 (and she never missed a beat with Overwatch either). And Felicity relationship with her family is the catalyst for so much of S7. 32 Link to comment

That's how I feel as well. You don't have to like Felicity, though as a writer for the show, I'm not sure how you dislike the characters you're writing for, but whatevs. But liking stuff that wishes the a lady character dead is really shitty especially since I can almost guarantee that being a woman writer on a comic book show has likely garnered them death threats or gross tweets. A shame all around. Damn, this entire writer's room from day one sure likes to shoot themselves in the foot. 29 Link to comment
Mary0360 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 Apparently she has now blocked people who tweeted her disagreeing with the article people have been saying on twitter, which no one crossed any lines in their tweets. So, much like Stephen, her giant ego is obviously very fragile. 5 Link to comment
statsgirl November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 I guess she's blocked me then. How will I ever get over it? I can understand SA having the ego after 6 years of being the star of the show that launched comic books back on TV, I can sort of understand MG having it because he was the EP and a white dude, but a first year writer on the show needs to do a reality check. 11 hours ago, Mary0360 said: Tonya has clearly been reading her mentions cause she has now liked a bunch of other tweets of people telling her how glad they are "Felicity is no longer a love interest". I wonder if she's misreading it as "Felicity is no longer just a love interest" because given how much time Oliver spends staring at that picture of Felicity and William, there's no doubt she's still his love interest. Doesn't help much though because Felicity has never been just a love interest. 8 Link to comment

statsgirl November 16, 2018 Share November 16, 2018 Quote An updated mid-century residence tucked into the foothills above Encino, Calif., and owned by actress and showbiz scion Katie Cassidy, daughter of late “Partridge Family” star David Cassidy, has come up for sale at just under $2.1 million. The “Arrow” star purchased the then-freshly renovated residence in early 2017 for $1.56 million That's a nice little profit in under 2 years. 1 Link to comment
KenyaJ November 16, 2018 Share November 16, 2018 I did as well as Emily, because S1 and S4 are really the only two suits I can easily distinguish. But LOL that she was able to figure out the early season suits because of how young Stephen looked. Someone on Twitter suggested that they have Stephen try to identify Felicity's outfits, and that needs to happen! (I'd get 100% on that one.) 7 Link to comment

I mean, I can’t tell what Cisco changed in s3. anyway, I was suggesting Felicity’s hairstyle or ponytail on Twitter but the outfits work, too ? The difference between S1 and S2 is staggering 2 Link to comment
statsgirl November 16, 2018 Share November 16, 2018 I got season 1 and 2 right because Oliver moved from the recurved bow to the compound bow in s2 when Felicity got it for him. Season 4 had the stupid sleeveless suit. I would fail at Felicity's outfits other than s1 because that was the only nerdy year. SA would probably fail worse though. Link to comment
