The 8 best (and 7 worst) Arrowverse couples

Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak

Show: Arrow

That brings us to Olicity, a couple that we all wanted to see together at one point. But wow, did Arrow instantly make us regret that decision.

Felicity was the quirky IT girl on Team Arrow that brought a light to the Arrowverse show when it got too dark, but the moment that she was elevated from supporting role to leading role, the character fell apart. Selfish, entitled, and toxic as they come, Felicity held grudges when the stakes were high, threw in moody one-liners that were supposed to be funny but weren’t, and interrupted both Barry and Iris’ wedding rehearsal and wedding itself because she couldn’t make up her mind about whether she wanted to marry Oliver or not. And speaking of Oliver, he lied to her half of the time and fell into line at her demand the other half of the time.

The pair were cute in their good moments, but that wasn’t enough to forgive the fact that Arrow existed only to service Olicity after season 2 and it fell off a cliff as a result. They were miserable most of the time and audiences were miserable watching them. When Olicity was on-screen, this once-great comic book show became nothing more than fan-fiction about a couple who shouldn’t have lasted past season 3.

As time moves on, more and more viewers are beginning to see Olicity for what it was: A toxic relationship that brought Arrow to its knees, destroyed the once-great show that it was, and it’s no surprise that the show’s four best seasons were the four without any “Olicity” content.

Verdict: WORST
