I think adverbial participle phrases usually indicate "cause", and adverbial to-infinitives do "purpose."; am I right?
So, I'd like to know whether "Initially envisioned as a backdoor pilot" indicates "concession."
Thank you in advance for your help.

"Initially envisioned as a backdoor pilot" is adjectival and presumably intended to modify Arrow or The Flash. However, the sentence is badly written, so the phrase instead seems to modify "positive reception", which makes no sense.
