Arrow's 100th episode forced Oliver Queen to look at how different his life could have been had he never become the Green Arrow. It's a familiar plotting device for comic book TV shows and one that worked well for Arrow as it reflected on its past five season.
"There’s a reason why these stories are iconic or familiar tropes even in comic books," executive producer Marc Guggenheim said at an "Invasion!" screening event. "It’s because when you show the protagonist the path not taken and you basically put them in the situation where they can choose to stay on that path or go back to their life with all of its ugly aspects and challenges, and they choose the selfless choice of returning to that ugly past, it makes your character stronger because, it’s like I said earlier, it forced Oliver to double down on his mission and commit to this life with all of its losses and failures and challenges."
