With 13 episodes the writing would have to be tighter and get rid of all that mellowdrama teenage bullshit and love triangle filler. Other hero shows still have the drama aspect as well but shortening the season doesnt give it a chance to pad it out for an extra 10 episodes

Ever since i watched arrow especially season 1 this 100% could work.

I'm mixed on season 8. On one hand I really like how each episode before crisis was a call back to the most crucial parts of the show and it was overall well written. But I really don't like how they changed crisis to be Oliver's death instead of Barry's. And I also don't like that oliver became the specter I thought that was ridiculous.

But the best thing about this season without a doubt is them giving us the green arrow and black canary duo It really showed us what we could've gotten from the previous season if they would've locked in with earth one Laurel's character. Especially her costume because it's peak. I believe Stephen Amell and Katie Cassidy had the best chemistry in this season. It really got me thinking maybe they should've gotten together and with Mia being there with those two I was thinking low-key Laurel could've been her mother lmao.

Arrow just got shadow dropped on Amazon prime in the US and no one Is talking about it online
