Maybe it’s because the conclusion of season three felt so finite that a lighter, more playful turn for the show might not be a bad idea. Good guy defeats bad guy and gets the girl. But the season ended on a whimper with Ra’s being easily defeated, and Oliver riding off into the sunset with Felicity Smoak, in a top-down convertible, no less. It featured some great moments such as Oliver and Ra’s Al Ghul mid-season sword fight, and Roy Harper taking the fall for Oliver, which led to his exit from the show altogether. Looking back, season three of Arrow had its ups and downs. After Arrow’s CW companion-show, The Flash, had a highly successful debut season, Arrow showrunner Marc Guggenheim confirmed that season four would, “take a lighter tone”. When Oliver Queen utters, “Felicity Smoak…You have failed this omelette,” it’s a major indicator that Arrow is indeed moving away from the dark and grounded action-drama that we’ve known it as for the past three seasons.
