So among all the villains from s1 to s8 what is the ranking in order of your favourite ones ?

I know it's a common opinion to say that William was annoying as a kid and I would agree regarding some moments he had.

I think William was a pretty tough kid considering everything that he endured when you look at it.

He lost his mother in atrocious conditions to find out that the random guy he met a year and a half before is his father, and that he is the Green Arrow.

He has to move on to a completely different life with his father who is a total stranger for him and who risks his life every single day. He lived with the fear of losing the only parent he had left.

Only when he found a good rythm, his dad sacrificed himself and is sent to prison. William had to live hidden and be sent away for his own safety. He goes to a school where he is unhappy and only comes back months after resenteful.

He chose to live with his grandparents to pursue a somewhat normal life away from the danger that his father and Star City represents as he wants to live a normal life.

However, that's where it bugged me. During 7x13 William made it pretty clear that he wanted to live with his grandparents, Oliver forced but William was absolutely firm about it. William was pretty harsh on Oliver and extremely resentful.

And then, during s8. William said to Oliver that he wanted him to force him to say. Seriously ?

Beside John and Felicity who have been with him since the beginning I hate the fact that literally everyone close to Oliver is part of the team.

I think it's due to the fact that for example Laurel we should have seen her more in the legal field during s4 and as for Thea she got her own storylines but and it's not about her but it's more the big picture.

Additionally, about Laurel, there is just something off about her being part of the team like she's always been there. I felt like they wanted to portray her like she's always been there and has been trained since years. It's like she wanted to show that she was badass. That is most likely due to the fact that her journey as becoming the Black Canary is flawed at so many levels. Of couse technically she earned her place but it's like it has never been natural. It's only my opinion of course.

During s1/s2/s3 we got multiple sets up with them interacting with one another but they were not always concentrated together.

As much as I liked Thea as Speedy I really liked the fact that she worked on the political field with her brother. It allowed us to see another version of Thea without a mask.

It's only my opinion.

Sara was the best Black Canary by far. Season 2 is amazing and Sara is one of the main reason. Her character is amazing and she has a great bond with every single person in the team. Worth mentioning that the team during s2 was my favourite by far.

Sorry not sorry but I hated Laurel as the Black Canary and I wished that she remained a successful lawyer and that she instead became a hero without a mask.

I didn't particularly like her during the early seasons and I think that I would have liked her more if she had another main meaningful role as the DA instead or something like that. During s1 one of the good things was the fact that she was working at the CNRI so it bound her to something meaningful to the law and her profession.

She was always meant to be a lawyer and she worked so hard for it. It was her destiny and that's great how passioned and willing to help people. I thought that it would have fit her much better. Plus her relationship with her dad was something important and Quentin is already kinda a "mask less vigilante".
