Arrow Season 4: 10 Characters That Absolutely Cannot Die
1. Felicity Smoak
Who She Is: Felicity Smoak, M.I.T. class of ’09, is the computer genius extraordinaire that upgraded Team Arrow from well-muscled twosome to technological super-trio. She managed to foil and complement Oliver and Diggle, and her lightness in all of the doom and gloom rendered her presence invaluable. Last seen driving off into the sunset with Oliver, Felicity will have the freedom to enjoy a happily-ever-after.
For five months or so.
Why She Cannot Die: Felicity is an interesting character, largely in that she is replaceable in her position on the team. Team Arrow 2.0 apparently managed without her constant aid over hiatus, and both Arrow and The Flash have proved that there is no dearth of lighthearted geniuses willing to work outside of the law. The show could feasibly survive her loss.
Oliver could not.
For all of its failures in writing for Felicity, Season 3 did effectively paint her as The One for Oliver. The former playboy only had eyes for her, and there was a big Olicity beat in all pivotal episodes. He gazed longingly at her with a baby. He saw their only kiss last before he died. He chose to leave everybody behind to discover himself with Felicity at his side. Thea connects him to Ollie, and Diggle connects him to the Arrow… but Felicity connects him to the Green Arrow. She can't die.
