Speaking of the Crossover, I feel like they shouldn't have introduced him in that place.
It would have been less complicated had they not tied Vandal with the Hawks's history where he needs to kill them to maintain his immortality, let alone where he can only be killed if the death blow is delivered to him by one of the Hawks with a certain ancient artifact.
I only say that because if you really think about it, Rip could have simply gone back in time to the events of the Crossover and organize it where the Hawks would have been the ones to give him the death blow with the staff instead of Flash and Arrow.
yeah as you know that part about killing to main tain his immortality was a harper family story line the guardian and Roy and his daughters story line . and it had to do with them being related to him. I think there was certain limit to his immortality like what happened with ra's and the pitin the books. using organ's from his decendents(harper blood line among others) helpe prolong vandal's immortal life. with the hawk it's not another thing with in the show that has yet to be fully explained.
but it showed something about the harper family bloodline and their link meta human wise. kinda like what happening in the comic's with/between Night wing (dick grayson) the talons of the court of the owls, where his grand father lived longer then most people expected.
But any way this happened with the hawks in this show. so.. on topi with the rest of what you said,
That's what Rip should have done. I guess that he didn't think of it and it didn't occur to him . It's too late now it likely isn't possible the might be a chance there's some one like chronos waiting for him too. and we would be have this adventure ether. these character needed some place to be instead of in arrow (with writers that have the time for them wouldn't be weirdly over whelm cause they aren't good organizing their plots) and as reoccurring character. and stein needed something to do as well . not sure about the two main rogues. could have been explored in flash. it'll be fun to see it happen here if they (former villains )like being heroes.
Vacuum up his ashes, mix them up with cement and use it for the foundation of a building. That will keep him out of trouble for awhile.
or send his ashes in a capsule, in a space journey and make sure it's to the sun and permanently vaper riser him.
It's a good way of explaining why he couldn't choose Flash, Green Arrow, Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman for his team. Their involvement would damage the timeline.
wwhen you think about it makes sense and sorry while is down on him self and all when ray came back he made sure he waould make an impact by not announce to the world he was alive and just missing. he didn't have to explain the full detail that he was scrunk. but he could have said he was indeed kidnapped though and the the ordeal has him in bad state and needed time to him self. and still leave filicety to be the CEO while he did what bruce does .
sara situation was messy and there still that time where she visited her father and I'm some of the cops that survive slades siege must have over hear her call captain lance dad while casually walking by with their paper work in the squad room before he became captain and she took off came back to be killed. ether way most of the time she didn't interact with too many people beside her bar tending job at the club and she still went by sara. as to her assassin identity she mostly tried to stay out of site so it makes sense why she wasn't notice and will continue to be unless she make sure people notice now that she came back. but with the issue of the blood lust she may not want to do that and since she's time traveling now......
doctor stein and jessy make no sense why they are in the they made no history category stein should have made some note worthy now that he came back to his wife and jessy with him as fire storm should have made some news in history and seeing they usual a man on fire it's not like people will recognize when they aren't fire storm. but as fire storm they should have made some impact had they not went on the time travel trip.
I don't buy the snart/ capatain cold and heat wave made no impact with any possible future crime had they not went on the time travel trip.
but the writers have them there, just for plain chaos reasons and they want play around with being possible but reluctant hero. Heat wave won't care regardless if he become a hero it'll be by accident due to the trip it'll be like what happened to skeletor in the heman & shera christmas special where start doing nice things and doesn't like it. but is still doing it any way. it'll be comedic with heat wave. but they so the writers will have fun with the chaos those might help create.
the hawks are pretty much stuck .
