Not surprising SG is ending, all of the shows that air on Netflix will probably end in the next few years. It makes no sense to produce shows that you canāt air on HBO Max

Another point I donāt see mentioned here is that Melissaās contract is expiring and thatās likely true for the remaining original cast, so reuppimg these actors may have been more expensive. Add to that the time and energy it takes to headline a show like this. Listen to a Stephen Amell interview when he was finished or that Ruby Rose walked away after a year.

Iām sorry to see Supergirl go. Itās not my favourite Arrowverse show, but I think it had more left in the tank than The Flash. Iād like to see CW renew Green Arrow & The Canaries to take its place so we still have a series with a female lead and perspective.

Itās very rare to see shows ended with 6 season, I think āI Love Lucyā was the first to do that. Best of luck to the cast!

We still have Batwoman, Stargirl and Legends with female leads.
Re Green Arrow and the Canaries, I liked the Mia Smoak character, but the storyline set in 2040 wasnāt doing it for me.
A live action Batman Beyond would be awesome. And maybe Swamp Thing will draw enough fans on the CW to be extended (I wish).
You know, thereās only so many hours in the day to watch this stuff. Weāre not exactly starving for DC programming. Fans used to think seeing Batman twice a week, George Reevesā Superman weekday afternoons, and DC cartoons on Saturday mornings in 1966 were the āgood timesā.

The flashforwards the last two seasons killed the momentum of the show. Whenever the story was getting good, we had to take a break from it to spend time in the future.
I think the most aggravating thing about it was how obvious they were trying to set up a spin off. Now, mind you, having a spin off isnāt bad. But from day one this didnāt feel organic; it felt so engineered. Even a majority of Arrowās last episode was set up for the potential spin off.
Thereās nothing wrong with the idea of Green Arrow and the Canariesā¦it all boils down to the execution and for me, it just wasnāt good.

I agree that the flash forward scenes were overly contrived in addition to being overdone. Maybe they thought it would work as well as the 5 years of Oliverās flashbacks at the beginning of Arrow. But Oliverās journey from the Queenās Gambit was a much more interesting tapestry of experiences.

I would imagine SG characters would make Many cameoās in Superman and Lois and at least SG herself once or twice a season if Melissa Herself is up for it. The SG series may be ending BUUUTTTT itās not the end of SG in the Arrowverse!

Legends is FUN, and occasionally hilarious. I miss the show it used to be when they fought Vandal Savage. But I love how they donāt take themselves seriously while they battle evildoers from different eras and genres.
The ensemble cast allows for characters to added and dropped, and this may be how they can stay in production with declining ratings. Thereās also very little of that expensive super powered action now.
All that said, I wonāt be surprised if Legends ends this season or next, when the CW comes up with a more promising replacement series.

I donāt EVER want legends to end! 
ā¦ I like having at least 1 live action show set in that universe thatās pure Bonkers with a wide ranged cast! Stargirl is also a lot more loose but Legends is just to much fun for me to not have.

Yeah, Legends was more fun when it was carefully-laid plans instantly devolving into Firestorm Atom freeze ray heat gun chaos, interspersed with Dr. Who and BTTF references. Itās still chaotic and fun, but itās not quite the same type of chaos.

I wasnāt sold on the idea of a future-set show based on the flash forwards, but bringing those characters into the present really made me like them and the back door pilot won me over. Thatās why Iām still hoping the show gets picked up.

Once it became apparent what they were trying to do in pushing a spin-off and the fact they took up valuable time in the final season, I wasnāt on board for Green Arrow and the Canaries at all. Funny enough, I started gaining some interest with the backdoor pilotā¦and then the final episode happened.
Iām still open to the idea of a spin off but my interest for it and the characters has long since vanished. It doesnāt help that even pre-pandemic, the CW didnāt rush it into production.
There is some hope, though:
-
If theyāre truly committed to the idea of Green Arrow and the Canaries, theyāll find a way to get it done. Itās not an effects-heavy show, so itās entirely possible.
-
The cast still seems interested in doing it. If schedules line up, thatās an excellent sign.
-
With some time and distance with the pandemic, the writers have a chance to look at what worked, what didnāt work and try to give us the best presentation possible.
If it does end up happening, Iāll be more than happy to give it a try.

In the showās (kind of mean) ādefense,ā after the first or second season, that was true of the flashbacks, too. It quickly became āwould you like to see exactly the same situation, but at a different time?ā If the flash-forwards were about the kids dealing with the consequences of Oliverās actions (like the first season used them to show Oliverās motivation), it wouldāve been betterā¦well, at least from the perspective of Arrow. As an ongoing backdoor pilot, itās less good, but we didnāt know thatās where it was headingā¦

It def. has started evolving into something more and more different each season. It always (for the most part) ESPECIALLY now embraced the weirdness/comedy. Iāll keep with it until it gets lazy uninspired and less entertaining!
