This is how I understand where you're coming from: I had grating, gnashing of teeth reactions to the TV Birds of Prey. So much core characterization (IMHO) just wasn't there or was horrifically twisted.

It just felt like a huge wasted potential parade.

My only deep exposure to Dinah and Ollie and Dinah/Ollie was the Justice League Unlimited animated series. And that version of Dinah was not Dinah at her emotional best. She was inexperienced and immature and annoyed me thoroughly at points--mostly due to how she behaved re: the Huntress/Question relationship. I still loved JLU!Dinah/Ollie (when she wasn't being written poorly because Q and or Huntress were involved), but it doesn't resonate with my soul the way some pairings do.

But as I type this I'm imagining how I would feel if, say, Huntress were re-imagined for live action as a Robin Hood knockoff and Question had some sort of gleaming golden question mark-inspired battle armor. Which is about the degree of off the beaten path Arrow goes with some of its characters.

I would hate that, and understand you want nothing to do with it.

The women of Arrow really are a mess in terms of plot arcs. It's frustrating and one of the reasons I still don't watch regularly.

For all that Barry/Iris makes me growl, The Flash at least shows us an iconic Barry Allen, just really young.
