Honestly, for a former street level rich kid vigilante, it’s not a bad way to go out. The events of Crisis on Infinite Earths are final, and though Oliver’s actions brought a new world into being, the price for doing so was his own life. Oliver Queen is really most sincerely dead. In what is perhaps the most surprising turn of events, Arrow makes no effort to undo what has come before in this finale. So while Arrow’s ending is perhaps a bit darker than many of us expected, but it’s also cathartic, emotional, and perfect for the show this was – reminding us why Oliver Queen’s story mattered before finally showing us his much-deserved, if slightly bittersweet, happy ending. When we have to reckon with a life’s work, the legacy we leave behind, and all the reasons we fight in the first place. Instead, Arrow uses its final hour to explore something most superhero stories never bother with telling – the part that comes afterward, when the suits are put away and the fighting’s done.

Some of us (me, included) may have presumed that Oliver would be miraculously resurrected, left to exist as the DC TV universe’s figurehead, largely absent but available to be dragged out during the next big network multi-series event. Many of us probably wondered how Arrow would handle its final two episodes, given that its leading man was killed off (twice) in the recent Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. The granddaddy of the DC TV superhero universe said farewell with “Fadeout,” an emotional, satisfying hour that paid tribute to both the recently departed Oliver Queen and the impact of the show that bears his (superhero) name. This article contains massive spoilers for Arrow Season 8 Episode 10, “Fadeout.”Īfter eight years and 170 episodes, Arrow has officially hung up its proverbial hood.
