Can we just get rid of Alice? Like why is she still here?

I'm assuming the actual answer to that is "because Rachel Skarsten has a contract, and they can't fire her just because her character's motivation up and quit." What I don't get is why she's now the main protagonist of the show, especially after they got rid of the Batwoman who had conflicts of interest in actually bringing her serial-killing ass to justice, and replaced her with a Batwoman who explicitly wants her dead. They had a perfect opportunity to throw out all the nonsense that made the first season so incredibly dumb and start over, but instead they've decided to focus obsessively on the nonsense and not give the new girl a chance to get out from under Kate Kane's shadow.
(I'm tempted to graph how many times they say Kate's name in any given episode vs. how many times they say Ryan's, but that would require watching it again.)

It's reaching Arrow's "But what if I'm bad because DaRkNeSs iN mE" levels.

The CW turned Green Arrow into archery Batman but without the counter culture/critique streak he's had in the comics.

To be honest, even though the first two seasons were generally of a higher quality (somehow) than most of the following Arrow seasons (barring S5, and even then only nominally)... I must admit I hated the idea of gritty "Batman-esque but he kills" Green Arrow in its entirety.

It didn't bother me until the later seasons. When Oliver, who has a body count that could fill an entire city morgue, suddenly become Mr. "Killing is wrong" moral authority guy.

Yeah, end of Crisis, I was watching all these people giving heartfelt speeches about what a great guy Ollie was like, "Are we talking about the same Oliver Queen here? The dude has threatened, bullied, beaten, intimidated, or shot literally every one of you."

(In some cases, he's done all of them in specifically that order, namely Barry) I mean to be fair many of them started to hang out with Ollie after he somewhat mellowed down, so their understanding of "this guy's an actual mass murderer who's filled entire morgues in the first year of his stint as a vigilante" is mostly academic.

I have to admit, watching him threaten Kara the first time they met was kind of hilarious. So... she's super-strong, almost as fast as Barry, nigh-invulnerable, flies, shoots lasers out of her eyes... and you're going to take her down with your superpowers of owning a bow and being a tremendous dick? (Note to self: Don't tell Ollie about Kryptonite.)

Given he's supposed to be the Batman of his 'verse (something that only becomes more hilarious and utterly befuddling now that Batman actually does/did exist in Arrow's universe), I'm convinced that it was yet another problem of the "genius character written by absolute mouth breathers" variety.
