It is a little unclear who or what exactly Oliver has been fighting against ever since he beat Slade. What even is the Arrow's goal anymore? To just arrest two-bit hoodlums forever?

I liked it better when he was murdering people on the list.  I guess his current goal is to be stupid and protect Malcolm from the league.

Kinda easy to forget the list when you supposedly killed the man behind it while also losing your best friend.

The list was mostly a revenge thing and now Oliver is more focused on trying to more directly help people by stopping crime that is happening right now.

I'm so loving poor, hey everybody, let's take a trip over to Corto Maltese for a few days. You're all invited.

He was too poor to bribe the customs agent, I suppose, there's that. I still can't get over how they made him tear apart his curtains and bed and lamps to make a pair of bows. Ahaha, jesus christ just fuckin' have Diggle take all the guns through, you're killing them anyways.

Well first it was The Count, then looking for Sara's killer, and then getting Thea back. And then Sara again. Different things each episode.

Uh, that seems pretty shifty, I'm going to reverse that and give you access again... Well, to the guest house at least." Well something like this will happen when Ray becomes a superhero and learns Oliver is the Arrow.

I hope they planned for the elections preempting The Flash this week. If they didn't that means some scheduling issues for the crossover.

drat it they should have gotten Ben Stiller as Ra's Al Ghoolander, that's why everyone is so attractive. He can stop an arrow with a look.

I'm still catching up and am only on episode 17 of season 1. But god drat I just kinda had to chuckle to myself that as soon as Oliver arrives back in the city TONS of people start dying to people shooting bows. A rather weird weapon to be using in the city. Not just all the people Oliver kills but also the people that Merlyn dad kills and vengeance-on-my-mafia-dad girlfriend lady kills. That's a gently caress load of deaths to archers out of no where.

At this point, as long as you don't paint them a certain color arrows are one of the safer ways to kill someone in Starling. No ballistics, just wear gloves.

In hindsight, it is kind of ridiculous that Detective Lance spends part of the first season trying to find out who the Hood is without ever going "huh, maybe it's this Komodo fella."

I thought that other hood-and-arrow types like him were generally regarded as either urban legend, or only known in certain criminal circles. The same BS that keeps the League of Assassins a secret society.

VagueRant posted:I think they might bring Blood back. It was a bit of a waste to kill him the way they did. It was a while back, but I seem to remember they didn't make his death too certain and never mentioned him again at all. And gently caress it, if Barrowman could come back... I'm definitely thinking that Sebastian Blood is dead, but I don't think Brother Blood is dead. I could see someone else finding the mask and taking up the name. It would have to be someone who knew who Brother Blood was and becomes a corrupted form of it. Where Sebastian used corrupted means for an end he saw as good, the new Blood will be totally corrupted and use the title for their own ends.

Well the issue is that in part they kinda mess up any assumptions you'd have made about Brother Blood early on in 2. Like at first it seemed like "oh, he has some mind control power or maybe a serum that he made to build this army" but by the end of 2 I guess it was all the mirakuru that made the soldiers work for him? And really the only power Brother Blood had was that he was kind of insane? So while Count Vertigo being a recurring, changing character makes some sense as it revolves around who has the newest Vertigo drug, it's kinda hard to imagine what a copy-cat is stealing from Blood aside from the fact that the mask and voice was kinda neat.

A second Brother Blood is the antagonist of the Season 2.5 comics and is pretty much what you're describing.

Her face looked pretty different in that Halloween photo too. No surprise really, she's covered in makeup on the show normally so changing that up can make a big difference.
