Arrow is one of those shows with a fairly rabid fanbase, catching the rise of sites such as Twitter and Tumblr at just the right time in order to give the audience a platform to take their love of the show to another level. A typical part of such fandoms is shipping, i.e. rooting for two characters to get together, and that featured fairly prominently in Arrow with many fans desperate to see Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak (aka Olicity) end up together. After some gradual teasing from the show, the finally rode off into the sunset at the end of the third season of the show, giving many fans what theyd long wanted. It goes beyond shipping though, and theres plenty of other online theories and speculation from fans that goes beyond Oliver's love life. Given that the show is based on a comic-book, theres often a canonical connection to these, while others seem to have been completely made up totally in the hope of some bizarre wish fulfilment. Fan theories of any show tend to vary between the highly-possible and the utterly-implausible, and Arrow is certainly no exception. Heres a look at a dozen of them, which may or may not be coming true in the future of the show
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
