The monitor sounds like hes talking with a fan whenever he speaks

[@abdulrazzaq-zo7yv]

he sounds like the gummy bear

[@etraziel]

Some people saying that the kids didn't really have a role in crisis... I'm like you do realize The Monitor sending his kids to 2019, Oliver seen his kids from the Future, made him fight harder to secure a better future for them... I'd say they played a most important role ...

[@adrianstjarnfaldt395]

Indeed

[@gabgame300]

Gave him this inspiration to reshape the universe the way he did.

Yes but I would say Oliver still was right in blaming Novu in the first place (even though he didn't know exactly what Novu had done at the time).

E. Ramone exactly!

I thought of a new fight scene between Oliver and anti monitor What if the spectre shapeshifted into his previous costumes and creating illusions in the anti monitors mind of how the 13 years of Oliver struggling with fear and become the one he is today

Those who are wondering when this happens, it happens when Oliver is trying to extend time to migrate people from one Earth to an another Earth. This is where Oliver shoots arrow at Monitor causing him to slow down. In the process, Oliver looses his life before he gets brought back from the Nanda Parbat on some different Earth. Before Oliver turns into the Specter.

Stephen Amell is really underrated as an actor.

I miss Stephen Amell. Arrow definitely had some highs and lows but I always preferred watching it over shows like the Flash just because Stephen carried this show on his back. He is such a compelling actor and can play a lead better than most people. Him and Tom Cavanaugh are easily the best actors on the CW

[@ajwebhead21]

I think grant Carrie's the show of the flash as well

[@arunnumapathy7003]

@@ajwebhead21 nah the writers are making Iris do that

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

Your credibility is seriously in question to say Amell is a better lead than Gustin. Someone who isn't a fan of these shows or these actors recognize the lack of acting ability this guy has in comparison to his contemporaries. Or even in comparison to the supporting cast of this show and various other shows.

[@arunnumapathy7003]

Mr.Wolfchamp 1999 to say his credibility is in question seems a bit pretentious, it’s called an opinion. And it’s not unfairly based, Arrow has ended and we have all 8 seasons to look over and see how he’s progressed. In my opinion, Oliver was still a more consistent lead than Barry. The only time Barry was a compelling character on this show since S2, was in the two part starting in S6. S1 and S2 Barry was great and made you feel for him. Now, you almost don’t care.

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

@@arunnumapathy7003 Fair enough. I guess I struggle with seeing acting quality as a matter of opinion. Some acting seems factual to me in terms of quality.

[@omegajoex]

Why they decided to delete this it makes more sense why they are there now?

[@chrisliostudios]

Oliver is furious and he denies the fact that Novu is trying buy him time to spent with his family he will never see. Maybe, by not showing it, they show that Oliver understands that fact.

[@neilbagchi7093]

But Oliver didn’t fail and he did find answers in Nanda Parbat

[@neilbagchi9040]

Lyla eventually tells him

[@ImJeffShadow]

I miss Arrow it was one of the best cw shows ever made, I wish it could have lasted a little longer.

[@ImJeffShadow]

@Jed Opportuneson I know your right but still stings a little it was a great show.

[@RyujinRoot]

tbh it ran its course theres only so much they can do with arrow espcially since green arrow is not that big compare to flash superman and batman etc

[@tonyspaniol1966]

True, but I personally think the writing quality dropped off and they added too many characters. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy what they did with it quite as much as I think I could have if it would have been handled differently. I do think they could have continued with a very interesting show concept if they would have taken this version of Oliver Queen they created and explored it further, not trying to do comics based stuff and just letting the show stand on its own.🤷‍♀️

[@kingdom13keeper]

Why was this cut?!?! This should have stayed! It helped a big plot point of crisis and arrow!

[@88rndz50]

Christopher Dohaniuk probably due to time constraints you gotta remember this goes on tv

[@kingdom13keeper]

sxdistic they could have also left it in for the app as a reason to download the CW. I wasn’t meaning just on tv its self.

[@88rndz50]

Christopher Dohaniuk I’m sure the makers and editors wouldn’t wanna put in all deleted scenes on the app and on tv have to edit it all out but I agree they should have a section on the app as to where you could see all deleted scenes from any show

[@gabrielsouto5869]

And how he brought up Barry and Sara

[@IowaFishingSquad]

I’m gonna miss the “You have failed this city” lines 😔

[@KosovaretTV]

This would’ve made better sense in the story because we all thought why he didn’t call Sara to get them back

[@boomingbob1579]

This showed more emotion and meaning towards his sacrifice

[@wolfgang6442]

I wonder why?

[@CS11]

I know they could not have all these meta people in the same universe without doing these type of crossovers but I wish at least this show stayed more real with the same type of vibe as s1-4

[@AvatarTay511]

I'm glad they left this scene out, seems like I'm the only one tho lol. Oliver realized that his kids being there was a gift, not a curse without being explicitly told it. I think from a storytelling standpoint, it worked much better that way. I'm sure many viewers caught on without being told it directly as well. My biggest problem with this scene is the fact that the monitor DID cause crisis and it was because of HIS OWN hubris. Yet he belittles Oliver for essentially guessing right. I think it was removed because once the full story was revealed, that scene makes The Monitor out to be narcistic and hypocritical.

[@thewerewolff7248]

Really nice touch that he tells him not to contact Barry or Sarah

[@ThreeProphets]

This... would've really cleared things up at a time we were more equipped to understand rather than waiting until the last second

[@Orto-jj2di]

Every spent moment is a gift of time. Great scene I say

[@Jamesalec63]

It is quite possible that what came out of the multiverse crisis is the fact that maybe it hasn't finished or is still happening out but not on the new earth this may mean that the new universe is isolated from the multiverse but ever so slightly? I think there's another storyline coming in a very different way to the dc hero's one that involves a cover up and something that will bring a new crisis, and it will involve the Green Arrows family and time travel and such a old villain of dc universe with a outcome that will open a zero hour event and have resolve the multiverse issues financially probably? Title called Mother Box?

[@aileencastaneda3724]

I miss Arrow so much, I love the other shows but Arrow was something else. I think it attracts more young adults and adults because of the “darkness”. In my head it makes sense I know it’s confusing but I just don’t know how else to say it.

[@loregasmic]

Someone at CW must have really had a grudge against Amell because there were a lot of illogical, disrespectful choices made against his character such as cutting this scene and the manner in which he died. Both times.

[@darkninja2772]

Oliver shouldn't have died. He didn't deserve that after all the sh*t he went through. At least Moira, Tommy and Lance are alive now because of Oliver. That makes this bad treatment of Oliver Queen a little bit easier to accept. But I am still annoyed by the decision to end Arrow with a crossover. I always wanted Arrow to stay it's own thing without involving Barry or Kara.

I'm glad they did. The whole point of the last few episodes were the team realizing they were wrong about Novu and him sending his kids as a gift for him. Here, Oliver is confronting Novu about being the one who's actually starting the Crisis and him not dismissing it and revealing that his children actually have a purpose. It makes Novu out as less intelligent and empathetic than they portrayed him as.

Because Oliver got easily fixated on things and in the perception he had of other people.
