Resurrect Black Canary
Superhero shows are not always the greatest when it comes to developing women or balancing more than one of their stories within the narrative, but the way they pretty much made a mess of Laurel Lance’s (Katie Cassidy) story on Arrow is almost too ridiculous to think about. She’s always been a big part of Green Arrow’s mythos, but the show not only made Laurel’s sister, Sara (Caity Lotz), Black Canary first, but also sabotaged her romance with Oliver from the start by creating a rift that they could never really come back from. Her importance to the story was replaced by another character and Laurel has lost some development because of that.
With the timeline changes, perhaps Laurel can be resurrected in some way (hey, it’s a superhero show, weirder things have happened); or her Earth-2 counterpart, Black Siren, can make a permanent home in Star City. Either way, Black Canary needs to be brought back to Arrow in some capacity as her death was one of last season’s low points.
