Bandanna posted:Green Arrow doesn't do all that much archery these days. I always thought his fighting style should be based on throws and rapid disabling moves so he can quickly get another arrow nocked, like... bow kata. Making him default to fairly generic martial artist choreography like everyone else has always been a minor but persistent pet peeve of mine. But at the very least, when most of the people you come across can deflect or grab arrows out of midair maybe break out the flashbang and bola arrows more often, Ollie.

Sounds like he only ever read Identity Crisis. Also hasn't Joe Mangiliano from True Blood been cast ad 'stroke in the SS film?

An archer should never choose to engage opponents in melee except as a last resort. I'd love to see him kite his opponents more by preparing the battlefield in advance with traps and distractions that slow down and disable opponents so he can shoot them with arrows. Close-quarters combat isn't his strong suit, and despite the decent choreography, it's fairly generic and doesn't help distinguish the character.

That would be cool, but does Arrow ever enter into a battle with prepared traps? It worked with The Flash but that was a one time thing.

He's more about trick arrows than traps but it'll be interesting to see how he deals with a metahuman that isn't Barry.

Rhyno posted:During the One Year Later arc (from which the show drew a lot of material) Ollie was revealed to have retrained himself and was now carrying a sword, just like Robin Hood. I kind of wish they'd incorporate that into the show. I think escrima sticks like Roy uses would make a lot of sense. He's obviously had a lot of training with them, and he could just have them strapped to the sides of his legs. Or at least a telescoping baton, or something. It really doesn't make sense if he has the compact/telescoping bow. Push a button, the bow starts to compact, with his free hand he grabs one of his escrima sticks, when the bow is compacted he puts it away, draws the other stick. I'm probably just overthinking it. I know it's supposed to be made of super high tech stuff, but bows are really fragile. One crack or stress fracture, and it's basically a ticking bomb waiting to go off when you draw it back. Just makes sense that he'd try to protect it more. The Question IRL posted:I am trying to look up the quote, but it's from Season 1 of the show. I think it's the episode with Vertigo, but Ollie is unable to use his Bow for a confrontation with some bad dudes. Diggle asks him what he will do.

Clearly what Ollie needs is a bow that splits into two swords, like Pit from Kid Icarus. That way he can shoot people and then use his swords in close combat, maybe get stabbed and thrown off a cliff again.

So the reason Deathstroke will not be appearing on Arrow again probably has nothing to do with Manu not liking what is happening with the character and everything to do with DC wanting him played by a different actor of course (you know despite the fact that Manu was probably one of the better parts of the Hobbit Trilogy) in the loving Suicide Squad Movie. This also makes me realize that the Flash show isn't going to have a fourth season.

Deakul posted:Why wouldn't Flash have a fourth season? A bunch of side characters (and maybe Deathstroke, whose plot has ended anyway) introduced into Arrow to pad out some episodes will no longer be showing up due to the Suicide Squad movie. Since this is SA, ridiculous hyperbole has propagated to the point that people are honestly under the assumption that the CW would cancel The Flash because DC is coming out with a Flash movie.

They're not going to cancel Flash. Quit being dumb. But also don't dismiss the idea that certain things on the show will change as the movie draws closer because they probably will as we're seeing it play out the same way on Arrow now. Will Flash go away? No. But side characters that appear elsewhere might.

My problem isn't with Snyder, it's with Goyer. Snyder is a fine director for a spectacle if you can get past the muted colors that make everything lifeless. Goyer is the worst though and the fact that he's DC's architect for their movie universe is a great example of my previous point about DC making the stupid choice. Any DC movies that turn out good will turn out good in spite of Goyer, not because of him.

You know I think I understand why Manu may be kind of bitter, I mean well I liked that Slade episode this really is a lovely way to leave the character. But then thats DC's fault. Even worse is that despite Manu being a very good action star the articles I have read don't even mention him as up for consideration. In such a situation I would be kind of steamed.

So there was a Flash panel at Wonder-Con this weekend, but some of the stuff that came out of it has to do with Arrow http://dctvuniverse.com/2015/04/huge-flash-news-from-wondercon-2015/ Seems like Cisco will be outfitting Laurel with some cool gear, including something to give her the Canary Cry, and HIVE will in fact be a major force during the next season (which may have something to do with the appearance of Killer Frost in the future on Flash) Also, Stephen Amell dropped a hint that Diggle may in fact be suiting up in the future (No, not Green Lantern).
