greatn posted:All I'm saying guys, is every second Ollie's arrow is not inside Felicity's quiver is a slap in the face to every single fan out there. And when she flirted with Barry I cried for hours. That's all I'm saying guys, and I think you'd all agree. OK, I laughed pretty hard at this one, I have to admit. I think the way the interaction is kind of awkward and unclear is fine, personally. Even just the bad sexual puns are pretty humorous.

I mean, it's not like he's Batman or anything, to solve crimes with ghosts and stuff.

I think taking down legit supernatural villains with nothing but bow skills would make Ollie even more awesome. Focus on the powers as another thing he needs to overcome.

Manchester Black was powerful enough to give Superman a stroke by pinching a blood vessel in his brain with his mind, and control thousands of people at once. If they want a throwaway guy for Ollie to beat up someone lower on the totem pole is probably a better choice.

Well you'd have to significantly depower him, of course. I'd just like to see the personalities clash. Another JLA/JSA villain whose power level is suitable, and is dangerous and diabolical enough to be right up this show's alley, would be Vandal Savage. greatn fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Feb 23, 2014 |

He's literally a man who has lived since the dawn of mankind. He's part alien/supernatural and wouldn't fit as is into the world of Arrow. I get you guys are excited about all the stuff, but quit throwing random names around. Savage would, in Arrow's universe, play out as another businessman Deathstroke. Which is what Merlyn is, and Deathstroke is, except without all the character history. Do you really want more of the same? And if you go one higher, and find it was Savage funding the original Ivo search, before 'stroke joined on, Then it's just going to be the namedrop that al Ghul is - a super powerful world influence with other people doing his bidding. Which we have just fine already, without that once again remove. Do you really want more of the same? Quit begging for random name drops.

Just started watching this show on Netflix and drat, is it ever great. I'm floored at how much I'm enjoying it, especially since the Green Arrow was never one of my favorite superheroes as a kid. The only complaint I have is with Laurel, whose chosen profession doesn't seem to mesh too well with her personality or apparent age.

But yeah as person who never really cared about green arrow or even much DC outside of the Justice League cartoons I'm blown away by how much I'm enjoying this show. I thought I would hate the flashback stuff and the overcrowding love interests but its just been such a strongly paced show that its seems incredibly easy to get hooked on the flashback/real time advancement. kingcom fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Feb 24, 2014 |

Has anyone ever noticed that during the first season, Green Arrow would regularly infiltrate bad guy hangout du jour and straight up murder the hapless, work-a-day thugs that are probably only there due to desperation and poor life choices, while letting the wealthy mastermind off with a stern warning? There was an episode where the DA gets the Arrow to infiltrate some crime boss's estate and plant a recording device, so they can gather evidence and try the crime boss all above board and legal. So the Arrow sneaks onto the grounds, assassinates all of the crime boss's guards, and then plants a bug so the bad guy can then be tried according to due process of law(???). At this point I would point out that if you have money, you can legally hire armed security guards from legitimate companies like Securitas and First Response Systems - and you don't even have to be a criminal mastermind with nefarious plans. Then they introduce the evil black archer(Merlyn)and you're supposed to know he is E-V-I-L because you see him hunting down 3 of the unrepentant rich assholes who Green Arrow had previously let go, and putting some feathers in their chests. Three. Meanwhile in the previously mentioned episode, Green Arrow murders at least 12 guys on screen, who could have essentially been mall cops for all he knew. In the second season, Green Arrow vows not to kill, but does it anyway once in a while. I think it's time to admit that this is not a superhero show, and is in fact a show about a Dexter-like sympathetic serial killer. Looking forward to the Flash though

It's worth taking a closer look at sequences like those, actually. While Ollie was definitely willing to kill and did a lot of it, he actually shot a lot of guys in the shoulder. It's a really minor, easily missed detail.

Yeah, instead of killing people he just puts them under incredible debt from hospital bills and maybe even a lifetime of disability.
