YMMV / Arrow S 4 E 22 Lost In The Flood

Go To

  • Angst? What Angst?: The climax of the previous episode seemed to hint that Felicity could enter a state of despair at essentially sacrificing tens of thousands in Havenrock in order to save millions in Monument Point...but that never happens.
    • Not just Felicity, no one really takes a nuke going off in a US city seriously. Donna even says a nuke going off isn't the end of the world, which would not be a unreasonable thing to consider.
    • Though it is justified a bit when they state they can't focus on that now and need to stop all of the other nukes from going off.
  • Badass Decay: Oliver, Thea, and John Diggle engage in a dramatic fight with Anarky and can't beat him, which is weird because Thea took him on one-on-one and kicked his ass.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The family of HIVE goons Team Arrow interrogate. They insist that they were not brainwashed by Darhk and earnestly agree with him, alluding to events in Star City over the past couple of seasons as why life is so awful. But since Darhk's plan is still "Nuke the planet and rebuild" they just come off as shallow and petty. One might dismiss their motivations as the typical selfish beliefs of henchmen from a supervillain organization, but Oliver feels sympathetic towards them, and wonders if Darhk has a point, forgetting that the most recent terrible things to happen to Star City are almost entirely Darhk's fault.
