10 Mindblowing Ways That Arrow Could Go Out With A Bang
5. Just Like Butch & Sundance
The ending to the legendary Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid is iconic for a reason. When our outlaw protagonists, wounded, trapped by the Bolivian army, threw themselves through that doorway into the line of fire, they went down in movie history. Freeze frame. Fade to sepia. Volley after volley of gunshots.
It's been referenced over and over in the popular culture of the last fifty years: the last stand of the doomed heroes. If the Green Arrow has to go out, why not have him go out in a blaze of glory?
Picture the finale, as he takes on too many, far too many bad guys to foil the villain/protect his family/save his city. He runs out of arrows, is stabbed once, twice. His bow breaks, but he rallies to beat down the last of the first, then the second wave. Help is coming... but not fast enough. This is it. Here they come again.
Time for one last emotional Olicity moment, one last desperate battle on a rooftop... and fade to black, the sound of the fight continuing for what feels like forever. They find him, barely alive, beneath a pile of bodies, just in time to say goodbye. What a way to go.
