History YMMV / Vixen

* CompleteMonster: [[ScaryBlackMan Benatu Eshu]] is a ruthless Zambesi warlord and season 2's BigBad. Desiring the Totems of Zambesi, Eshu led a raid on [[TheHero Mari]]'s village when she was an infant, massacring scores of innocents, upon learning that the village possessed the Anansi Amulet; among those killed was [[YouKilledMyFather Mari's father]], who Eshu callously executed when he attempted to stand against the [[AxCrazy madman]]. In the present, Eshu arrives in Detroit under the guise of an ambassador and continues his quest to find the totems. To achieve his goals, Eshu bribes a thief into stealing the Fire Totem for him, then [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness promptly kills the man once he's no longer of any use]]. With the Fire Totem in his possession, Eshu attempts to kill Mari to steal the Anansi Amulet. Failing in this, Eshu goes on a city-wide rampage in a fit of homicidal rage, [[PlayingWithFire burning down]] a massive portion of Detroit in an effort to draw Mari out. When Mari and her allies attempt to stop him, Eshu incinerates [[spoiler:Mari's sister Kuasa]] right before her eyes before trying to kill Mari herself. Even when [[BroughtDownToBadass he is stripped of the power of the Fire Totem]], Eshu continues his attempt to murder Mari in order to steal her amulet and harness its powers for his own purposes.

* IdiotPlot: The whole fight between Oliver, Barry, and Mari hinges on the former two doing the following dumb things: 1) Assuming she was evil and/or dangerous simply because of her powers (and [[Series/TheFlash2014 one of those people]] should definitely know better), 2) Not checking to determine if she had been exposed to the Particle Accelerator explosion beforehead (which would have saved them a trip), and 3) not doing some recon to determine the actual nature of her powers (you would certainly think Oliver wouldn't make such a tactical error).
** The chase scene between Mari and the two superheroes looks awesome at first glance, but there's no way that Barry (who, by this point, is capable of ''outracing lightning''), should have any trouble catching her.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Mari is one of DC's more popular black characters, which is especially impressive given she has never had a solo comic of her own.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Mari winds up in jail because she stabbed a prospective employer in the hand for insinuating that he would give her a job if she'd sleep with him. Creep or not, aggravated assault with a weapon doesn't exactly make Mari look like the good guy in this equation.

* {{Narm}}: Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin clearly didn't quite feel comfortable with voice acting, and both give some rather odd line readings.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: One of the main complaints about the show, since the average length of every episode is five minutes. (The entire miniseries itself is supposed to be only thirty minutes long.)

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Mari winds up in jail because she stabbed a prospective employer in the hand for insinuating that he would give her a job if she'd sleep with him. Creep or not, going past knocking him out (or a similar form of physical assault) straight to aggravated assault with a weapon doesn't exactly make Mari look like the good guy in this equation.

** The Arrow's design is clearly Green Arrow's Young Justice design modified to suit. And the OhCrap faces Oliver pulls are oddly animated.

Creep or not, going past knocking him out (or a similar form of physical assault) straight to aggravated assault with a weapon doesn't exactly make Mari look like the good guy in this equation. Of course, ''it's important to note that the guy was sexually harrassing her''.
