That thread features barely any Supergirl trivia, and at the very least should have mentioned the truly terrible wigs, or how they cast a Lex Luthor who was like three years younger then the actress who played his mom

Off the top of my head, my top 5 Arrowverse moments:
#5. -- Kara talks down an armed criminal when she is depowered (Supergirl, season 1) #4. -- Damian Dark's resurrection as set to Return of the Mack (Legends of Tomorrow, season 3) #3. -- Oliver's mountain-top duel against Ra's al Ghul (Arrow, season 3) #2. -- Oliver Queen returning home to a surprise Slade Wilson being given a tour of the residence by Oliver's mother (Arrow, season 2) #1. -- Harrison Wells kills Cisco (Flash, season 1)
That threads got an excellent deployment of the Twitter bit where you tell someone to Google person + innocuous sounding thing that actually leads to news stories about person doing something fucked up.

The flash had a good first season.

flash had a few really good seasons until they had barry make the dumbest decision imaginable as a series finale
Not mentioned: when they introduced a love interest for Supergirl in season two (after quickly deciding to undo her relationship with Jimmy Olsen) who is from a nearby planet to Krypton that had slavery. They go, "it's okay, he didn't own slaves! he was against it!" until there's a late season reveal that he's a prince of the planet and just didn't care about the issue at all. They break up over this, only to reconcile in a musical episode of the Flash. He's then written off the show, until he returns as the founder of the Legion of Superheroes.

The best season of Supergirl is season one by a pretty considerable margin. They moved to the CW and...made some positive changes (Kara's sister came out of the closet, they added probably the show's most popular character in Lena Luthor, eventually they introduced a trans superhero that's started appearing in core DC comics continuity) but also: the writing quality went off a cliff, the effects were embarrassing, and, well, then the showrunner got fired for being a sex creep.
I think the biggest problem they had moving to the CW was that they introduced a Mr. Mxyzptlk who was a young sexy CW guy, in order to advance their bad Romeo and Juliet storyline, though they did walk this back later by having him show up for their 100th episode as Thomas Lennon to explain that he was just trying to fit in and he actually got into a lot of trouble for that stunt and was ordered back to help her out as a form or restitution

The problem with season 1 of Supergirl is that there’s all those evil Kryptonians that just wait for the mytharc episodes to do anything.
Also that they didn’t have access to Superman yet, and he’s one of the best things to come out of the show.

yeah, there's plenty of relationship stuff in early seasons of Supergirl where you look at the showrunner who got fired for sexual harassment and go, "ah, okay"
that guy also was the showrunner on the Flash, btw
Yah, I fell off somewhere around Season 4 of Flash/Season 5 of Arrow and while I missed the Crisis on Infinite Earths stuff, I feel like I made the right choice, though I should probably complete Legends of Tomorrow cause that had a lot of fun stuff going for it.

It's very funny because after he left they sort of gave up on giving her any love interests at all over the rest of the series. There was a brief attempt at a new guy in the second to last season that nobody really bought into (because they introduced him as a gigantic asshole who was extremely condescending to her and married before they revealed that he was actually undercover and was single and nice, and then they did the Crisis thing and his new personality was just "nice," and it's like, "why did you introduce him as a giant asshole, you didn't need to do that?")
I fell off well before Crisis but had to come back to watch that for just having the hutzpah to make an eight-show crossover where you wipe out and rewrite reality based off a fifty-year-old comic book event

Back in the Zack pot episode I'd said they should have all of the bad rumors about Zack end up being true, including the Becca abortion flyer from the early seasons.
Whelp.
Close enough.
Also they keep hurting my boy Cary. Alicia has 0 time to hear his issues about diluting their new venture, or protecting the jobs of their own crew. I think he picked the wrong person to partner up with.
I came back to watch the final season of Arrow and the Crisis crossover and could not make it through the final two episodes. I so thoroughly did not care

The last few seasons of Legends are really fun and I'm still legit sad it got cancelled/they didn't give it one more season to wrap up
From what I understand, they're...doing a wrap-up episode in this season of the Flash?
Also, I guess spoilers for this season of the Flash that tie into other Arrowverse stuff

I dunno, I thought the quote about Legends was essentially, “We were going to, and then they cut our episode count” which heavily implies there’s no time for it anymore. And a lot of people missed that implication.
Production sources tell Rolling Stone they're in the dark on when the show will air, and have little idea about what the final version will look like, claiming the production was plagued by reshoots and rewrites.

We should establish that writing fucked up things doesn't make you a fucked up person at the start of this, because plenty of great art from overall unproblematic creators has delved into awful topics that are worse than what's presented in this article.
That said: the Weeknd forcing out a female creative because he "worried that the show was shifting too far into the female perspective," and then blowing tens of millions of dollars of work for this is fucked, and Sam Levinson sure hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt.

If you listen to most of The Weeknd’s lyrics it really not all that surprising that he’s a misogynist
