Arrow Season 4: 23 WTF Moments From 'Legends Of Yesterday'

9. Oliver Queen, RIP

We€™ve seen Oliver Queen die before (remember, he was €œdead€ for, like, nearly a whole episode€) but this was a massive WTF shocker here. When the plan to take down Vandal Savage goes massively wrong, it€™s left to the Emerald Archer and the Scarlet Speedster to stop Savage. With the rogue being too powerful for our heroes to contain, Oliver urges Barry to run and save himself. But this is Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow €“ he€™ll be fine, right? Right?! No. What we saw next was Ollie essentially get vaporised in arguably the biggest Arrow/Flash shocker in recent memory. That wasn€™t all, though, for we€™d quickly see the whole city fall, including Felicity (booo :(), Diggle (booo :(), Thea (booo :(), Cisco (booo :(), Caitlin (booo :(), and Laurel (every cloud has a silver lining€ :)).
