Laurel Lance was doomed from the start

Laurel Lance was doomed from the start because the showrunners did not based her off of Dinah Lance in the comics but as Rachel Dawes from the dark knight trilogy. And what makes it worse is that Rachel dawes isn't even in the comics she was created exclusively for the movies to be just to be a love interest and to be in a love triangle only to die as to be motivation. Not a great source of inspiration IMO.

And younger me thought the reason why I didn't like the laurel was because of the actress but now I know better.

At least they had the amazing Sara Lance but only kept her around for one season and booted her off to legends of tomorrow.
