Arrow: 5 Reasons Why Felicity Is Not Going To Die

1. She's Too Popular

Oliver isn't the only person in love with Felicity. She brings lightness and humor to a superhero series that is grim more often than even neutral, and she brings a touch of realism as the member of Team Arrow who can save the day without a mask. Viewers love her. The producers and writers love her. The hero of the show loves her. Frankly, killing off Felicity would run the risk of alienating a decent chunk of the audience, perhaps to the point of abandoning the show. Between her popularity as a lighter character, the popularity of Olicity, and the wide frustration with Oliver€™s love interests being killed off and/or evil, Arrow needs her alive. Audiences have responded well to Emily Bett Rickards and Felicity Smoak, and they would certainly not respond well to her murder. Felicity isn€™t going anywhere unless Rickards wants out, and Arrow will be better for it. Do you think Felicity will die?

Fiction buff and writer. If it's on Netflix, it's probably in my queue. I've bought DVDs for the special features and usually claim that the book is better than the movie or show (and can provide examples). I've never met a TV show that I won't marathon. Follow on Twitter @lah9891 .
