Ugh, I hope not.
Nobody can replace Barbara Gordon (one of my favorite characters).
Especially not Felicity, who has gone from mildly annoying to OMG I HATE YOU STABBITY-STAB-STAB-STAB. Her l33t h4x0r abilities (
) have gone from "oooookay, that's a stretch, but it's superheroes so I'll overlook it", to "WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK????". The instant Betamax conversion from last week (??!), and then taking control of a RC helicopter from a tablet in seconds? Really? And then while Laurel grabbed a couple kids to save, Felicity saved her tablet and left the young girl she had just been talking to standing on the beach to get shot at, oh my god what a hero.
The thing with Ollie is just weird and boring and...what? I have no idea what they see in each other and they have no romantic chemistry and did I mention it's boring? She was less annoying when she was with Ray, at least that made sense and had chemistry. With less crying.
She's not interesting and is pretty much only there to give Ollie angst. They should replace her with Curtis Holt and he can become Mr. Terrific (a tech person
and an interesting character). And for Ollie angst, just replace her with the Baby Mama in Central City.
Though, since Batman exists in the CW universe (there's been references to the "Dark Knight" and to Wayne Tech), hopefully Felicity is Dead Means Dead and they can replace her with the
real Oracle (maybe tied into
Gotham's backstory?)
