We were simultaneously screaming “no Thea, don’t!” and “yes, Queen!” It was conflicting and complicated but that’s what made it so great.Īny moments when Thea tears down the patriarchy are good moments. My favorite Thea Queen moment was the season 2 finale, getting in a car with Malcolm Merlyn. That’s endlessly frustrating, and Thea decided enough was enough. Thea’s life unfortunately, has consisted of men (and Moira) lying to her. She brought a fun aspect to the team, being totally blissed out while they are supposed to be in “super-serious crime fighting mode.” 3) Thea “tear down the patriarchy” Queen “I’m tiny, but I’m mighty.” I low-key miss post-Lazarus Pit Thea beating up grown men twice her size with reckless abandon. They would call each other on their crap and also have a good cry in each other’s arms. Losing that thread in the show was definitely a felt loss, and hopefully we will get some quality brother-sister moments in the final season. Oliver and Thea’s relationship has always been so pure and grounded. And we are so happy! Hopefully, Thea’s story and character will be wrapped up in a way that she deserves.Īnd we missed you, Thea Queen! Here’s five things that we missed: 1) Oliver and Thea It was announced that Willa Holland will be returning for the final season of Arrow to reprise her role as Thea Queen.
