yeah around arrow season 5 entire episodes would be about *insert political talking point* instead of being what it had been: a show about superheros. they lost me when arrow and supergirl both banned guns. one for an entire city by mayoral edict despite the protagonist being a vigilante who went into the trade because the police were incapable of protecting people and the other banned them for a top secret military agency that specifically fought world ending level allien threats.
the desire to push the showrunners political beliefs trumped the shows internal truth.
but i could make a 1000 word post just listing the activism writing the DCWverse shows go into around that time and onward.
