10 Biggest Arrowverse Moments Of 2016
5. Black Canary Down
During the season premiere of Arrow, Oliver and Barry were seen standing in front of an unknown grave, leaving fans to ponder who they were mourning. As the season went on, only Felicity was eliminated from being in the grave.
Fans did not have to wait until the season finale to see why Oliver, Barry, and Felicity were so devastated at the grave. While facing Damien Darhk with his team, Oliver watches in horror as Darhk uses one of his arrows to kill Laurel Lance (aka the Black Canary).
Laurel’s death had a huge impact on Team Arrow and their fans. Her father fell off the wagon, Team Arrow disbanded, and Sarah was sent on a murderous rage attempting to kill Darhk in the past hoping to prevent the Black Canary’s death. While her character was not a fan favorite in the beginning, she had begun to grow a large following as she made the transition from annoying ex-girlfriend to full-fledged superhero.
While fans were still mourning the loss, they were thrown a giant curveball at the end of the 101st episode as a shocked Oliver spotted her in the Arrowcave just before the credits rolled.
