I’d like to retract my opinion where Laurel is concerned.
Now, after having watched 2 seasons and some episodes from the third, I can say I like Laurel Lance. She isn’t my favourite character - or female character, for that matter. Those would be: Sara and Felicity. But Laurel could come in third place, topping Thea.
Thea Queen, on the other hand, became a nuisance to me. Who could put up with this girl? I know I couldn’t. At first I even shipped the infamous Queencest due to how sweet the siblings’ relationship was. But now, no matter how lovely Oliver’s bigbro side is, I can’t care for this at all.
If sum up in a nutshell, I’d describe Thea’s character like this: bitch bitch mope teen!angst spoiled!brat failed!funny and failed!wit
spoiler (3rd season) >>>
Now, how the fuck could Thea have learned all of that in a few months?
A spoiled bratty school girl, who had no experience with any kind of martial arts or use of weapons...
Oliver and Sara, we all know their story and what they have been through. From one point on, each followed a different path: Oliver with A.R.G.U.S and Sara with the League of Assassins. Ok
Dig was in the army. Ok
Felicity is a MIT grad and a hacker. Ok
Roy is a teen who liked to brawl. Then Oliver took him under his wing. Ok
Now, Thea. Her “daddy” is a badass, check. He took her away to train her, alright. She had the anger/revenge drive going on over her mum, no discussion there. But come the fuck on! Considering Dig’s partner announced her pregnancy then, it has only been a few months of training!?
